“Babam Görse Kızardı…” - Sadettin Ökten | Zevk-i Tahattur | B21

In this episode of Zevk-i Tahattur, we visit the world of our esteemed teacher Saadettin Ökten and our uncle Hüseyin Rebii, remembered as "Uncle Who Sent Honey." From the arduous ferry journeys from Kaş to Istanbul to the "Nur Ocağı" (Heart of Light) atmosphere of Darüşşafaka, from the subtle humor behind a prosecutor's dignity to the oranges sold "by the piece" in old Istanbul, it's a tableau of elegance... Once upon a time, maturity wasn't about acting older than your age; it meant living each age appropriately and respectfully. 🕊️ Highlights of this section: 🔸 “Two things are colder than ice”: Acting old when you are young, and acting young when you are old. 🔸 Uncle Who Sent Honey: The ferry that came from Kaş to Istanbul in 5 days and the old times. 🔸 Darüşşafaka Years: The refuge of orphans, the home of knowledge and compassion, “Nur Ocağı” (House of Light). 🔸 A Forgotten Grace: The tradition of fountain pens as graduation gifts and the requirement of a Fatiha prayer. 🔸 Life in Old Istanbul: The years when oranges were sold by the piece, and roads had not yet been opened. This conversation is not a dry nostalgia for the past; it is an effort to correct one's present reflection by looking into that old mirror. Sometimes a ferry whistle, sometimes a fountain pen, sometimes a witty warning from an elder… As one traces the footsteps of the past, one does not get lost; on the contrary, one finds one's true home. Let us walk together in the footsteps of memory and kindness. #SadettinÖkten #SerdarTuncer #AlBaraka #MyMecra 🔔 Don't forget to subscribe to our channel: youtube.com/c/mymecra?sub_confirmation=1 👉 Other MyMecra Playlists 👇 🔹 One Day | Serdar Tuncer:    • Biri Bir Gün | Serdar Tuncer   🔹 Our Own Sky | İbrahim Kalın:    • Kendi Gökkubbemiz | İbrahim Kalın   🔹 Listen to the Ney | Ömer Tuğrul İnançer:    • Dinle Neyden | Ömer Tuğrul İnançer   🔹 Should I Die If You Don't Tell Me? | Ömer Demirbağ:    • Ya Ben Öleyim mi Söylemeyince | Ömer Demirbağ   🔹 The Pleasure of Remembrance | Sadettin Ökten:    • Zevk-i Tahattur | Sadettin Ökten   🔹 Look at It From This Perspective Too | Savaş Şafak Barkçin:    • Bi' De Buradan Bak | Savaş Şafak Barkçin   🔹 Hayati Verses | Hayati İnanç:    • Hayâtî Beyitler | Hayati İnanç   🔹 The Traveler's Notebook | Ahmet Kemal Öncü:    • Seyyahın Not Defteri | Ahmet Kemal Öncü   🔹 Actually It's Not Like That | Koray Şerbetçi & Ozan Bodur:    • Aslında Öyle Değil | Koray Şerbetçi & Ozan...   🔹 Traces:    • İzler | MyMecra   🔹 Civilization Horizon | Sadettin Ökten:    • Medeniyet Ufku | Sadettin Ökten   🔹 What is the Topic? - Uğur Işılak & Serdar Tuncer:    • Konu Nedir? | Serdar Tuncer & Uğur Işılak   🔹 Last33 | Orhan Karaağaç:    • Son33 | Orhan Karaağaç   🔹 The Key Point | Nurullah Genç:    • Püf Noktası | Nurullah Genç   🔹 Success Demands a Price | Nurullah Genç:    • Başarı Bedel İster | Nurullah Genç   🔹 Associations | Savaş Ş.
