Nasıl oluyor da ben senin gibi göremiyorum şu şehri? Yeteneksizliği olsa gerek...

Senin bakışın ile İstiklal daha güzel.

canim ya...merak etme, ben Istanbul'da iken de basimi kaldirip bakmazdim, ama simdi her bir ayrintiyi kafama kazimak istercesine bir detayci oldum, bir degil pir bakiyorum... sanirim hasret & huzun bir arada olunca daha farkli algiliyor insan...

The story of the blog name

From Wikipedia let's look at the definition of Muhtar first:

Muhtar is the elected village head in villages of Turkey. In cities, likewise, each quarter has a muhtar, but with a slightly different status. In each village, muhtar is the highest civil servant of the village.

When I decided to have the blog, a friend of mine told me to use my nick name "muhtar", not because I am elected or anything but mostly because of the information that I was providing about the city I live in, from schedules to subway transportation, concerts to upcoming Broadway Shows.

In short; I feel I am serving the village that I now call home.
