I will name my grandchild Preet Bharara

I cannot think straight nowadays. My thoughts are rambling. My mood is the same as my country's: confused, fragmented, zigzagging between contrasts and, of course, very sad. 

In this peculiar stage, I am not able to collect my thoughts and write a proper piece. I could not write one last week but by mid-week, one of my previous articles suddenly became popular. Most probably international readers searching the last bomb attacks in Turkey came across my July 2015 piece. This sometimes happens.

I am teasing my editor that even when I don't write, people still read me. 

Anyway, this week I still have nothing to write, but I have bits and pieces of unorganized thoughts and ideas? Just like me nowadays?  

My first thought is, since I am way past childbearing age, this time I am talking about a possible grandchild: I will name my first grandchild Preet Bharara, or just Preet. He or she will be "Preet Akaltan." By the way, Akaltan is my married name. My original last name, (not "maiden" name - I was not a maiden, believe me) was Güven. It was odd to change your name when you got married but in those times (36 years ago), it was not much of a debate. Also, at those times there was a beauty queen who turned into a porn star with the same name, so I was happy that my name changed. And now I am so used to it, I am not going to change it back. 

Preet Bharara (insert mother's name here) Akaltan, dear child, welcome to the world. (I hope my son and my future daughter-in-law do not read this.) For those who do not know, Preet Bharara is a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York who is now popular in Turkey, very popular, for no particular reason. By the way, Preet means "beloved," so we can start a hashtag #preetcandir.
