Live to be yourself!

'Reasonable people adapt to the system, unreasonable ones adapt the system to themselves' as said by Bob Geldof during his inspiring speech two days ago in Dublin.

In a world of evolving apes, we should be reasonable enough to respect differences and allow ourselves to be unique and different. If one man, such as Bob Geldof can make a difference by organizing the 'Aids to Africa ' concerts and helping millions suffering from hunger, I guess many of us can make a huge difference as thinking unique and being different. Ironically as we grow up, we obey the dominance of 'one' ,move away of being oneself instead of learning to be a passionate individual. Do I really want to grow up? No. I'd better to age as myself.

One of my close friends here in Dublin, Gonca Basak pursued her path to express her uniqueness with her lovely jazzy tone of voice. She started singing with a creative irish band called 'Torc'. I just wanted to share a critic about her and Torc with you. The letter has been sent from 2013.


'Roads to Stranger Creatures. It all happened 'Tonight' by Portishead and Torc. Duet between Portishead and Torc shook the hearts of listeners deeply in Soho London. Gonca, the lead singer of Torc, added a different flavor to 'Roads' the song by Portishead with her jazzy voice. Portishead said 'Torc's version of Roads was stunning, which gave the feeling of the Roads not taken tonight'. The most favorite song release of 2011 from their first album 'Strange Creatures' by Torc was the most remarkable song of the night. At the end of the gig, Gonca said 'I am so happy to feel the same excitement that I had three years ago during my first gig at Globe in Dublin'. Nearly at the end of the Gig, a fan of Torc called Omer Keser fell on the stage while he was trying to take a holographic picture of the performance. Luckily nothing serious happened and everyone burst out laugh. You can watch the holographic video of Torc and Portishead performance in 3D from deepbreath-kamiltavas.'
