Besiktas - Denizlispor

I watch Besiktas games in a locale for Besiktas supporters in Berlin. They are not your ordinary supporters either, they are a part of the Carsi group of Besiktas supporters, who are known for their unconditional support under all circumstances. So the number of games they did not see is maximum 3 or 4 in last 3.5 years, when the things were going down down and even further down. My feelings were shared by most of the people in the crowd, I felt that there was light at the end and not just the supporters but the whole club believe that we can reach this light out of the bad times. For the first time in 3 years,the chants were sung in celebration, in hope, not to shout out the love for the club, which was not shared by the players. This year, this love is shared by them...

This season started as usual, we were excited for the first two games, and then faced the bitter reality that something was not functioning in our team. The passes were going uncompleted, players did not know where to stand and where to go. Most of the supporters blamed the trainer, and the president above all. There was a point at the end of the first half of the season, when the newspapers were discussing who would be replacing Jean Tigana, our trainer.

Then the winter break came, and it was as if nothing had changed during the friendlies. The first game of the second half coincided with the election for the president. The president did not change, however change is a change. The board of directors was changes, so was the assistants of Jean Tigana. Tayfur Havutcu, a veteran player was promoted to player manager, which was a good decision for a team of young players.

I am not sure if it was Tayfur's promotion, or financial revival due to the new board of directors, or if it was just the result of Jean Tigana's plan, but we are playing well. Our two creative middlefielders Ricardinho and Matias Delgado are providing our Brazilian strikers Bobo and Nobre with delicious vertical passes. Ibrahim Uzulmez our captain, who I did not want to see this year in Besiktas after the end of last season, is providing unbelievable sprints and crosses from the left flank. Serdar our young defensive midfielder is running as if he occupies the place of 2 players. Koray our other defensive midfielder, who was accused of being worthy of a second league player is delivering beautiful passes... I just hope that we can carry this wind behind us 3 more games, until we play Galatasaray. If we can do this, and beat Galatasaray, we will be in a good position for the title...

The joy that the funs enjoy is obvious in the following supporter video from the part of the stadium where Carsi fans watch the games:

Brain in love...

Functional MRI is one of the coolest scientific devices ever developed. With it the scientists are able to monitor which parts of the brain are activated, when individuals are involved in different activities. From dancing to taking decisions the functional MRI has revolutionized our understanding of many fundamental human activities. As Helen Fisher put it, the most passionate human activity, the romantic love is one of the latest to be investigated in functional MRI. According to their results, love activates the reward/punishment mechanisms, along with risk taking and strategic game playing parts of the brain. Unlike people who can leave in a split second, the activity in those areas continue even 15 months after separation. Also, people who claim to be in love after 25 years still have those regions active! Lastly, the same reward region is activated in a cocaine high! Here is a 15 minute video of Helen Fisher's talk, which is definitely worth watching! Helen Fisher: The Brain ...

Joy of rediscovering a Bob Dylan discovery

I guess I won't be wrong if I say that Bob Dylan's artistic output is perhaps one of the largest in the contemporary music history. Thus one shouldn't be surprised to find interesting Dylan selections such as "Favorite Dylan Songs Starting with C" in the Internet. His website ( link to the website ), which has an incredible list of his songs, might give you an idea of about the sheer volume of his output. So from time to time I discover new favorites out of this collection. The song Series of Dreams is a voyage through well you know what, in which Dylan has no intention of telling anything specific, but just wants to paint the walls of a long and winding cave with the images. This beautiful song did not make it to any albums. I first heard it on his Greatest Hits collection a month or so ago, and was struck by it. Recently I came across an alternate version in his latest Bootleg Series Releases Tell Tale Signs. I have to say the alternate version is even be...
