These days I often hear people say that social media has caused blogging, and more importantly, the hyperlink, the very foundation of the web, to slowly fade away. I completely disagree, because here’s how I see it: Back when social media wasn’t so widespread, those who truly had something to say... Read all
I’ve often wondered why blogging, one of the few genuinely valuable creations of the internet age, sometimes feels like the hardest thing in the world to do. Is it really that we have nothing to say? Everyone living in this world has stories worth telling. Some are lived, some imagined. Sometimes yo... Read all
At the suggestion of a friend, who actually got this time management method from one of his expert buddies, I decided to divide my day into three parts and stick to it consistently: 12 hours of work starting at 4 AM, daily tasks from 4 PM, and a 6-hour sleep from 10 PM. In this post, I’ll be writing... Read all
In early September, my friend Arezoo contacted me and said there was a theater group in Mashhad that had performed in various cities and now planned to come to Tabriz. They didn’t know anyone here and were looking for someone to guide them with coordination and preparation for the show. The group... Read all
It’s the final days of 2017, and I was reflecting on the useful and mistaken things I did this year to review them and plan better for 2018.

Now take that broom and sweep.” After the usual struggle, the student insisted that he needed to practice a lot and asked ... Read all
For over a year, I’ve been just thinking, about everything. So much that people here have grown frustrated with my silence and withdrawal. I have hundreds of pages of notes from all this thinking, though they’re so chaotic and tangled that I doubt anyone else could make sense of them. Sometimes I th... Read all
Only a few moments left until the New Year. Since early 2016, I haven’t had a real life and spent almost the entire year in the barracks. But in the new year, I’ll be discharged in mid-autumn, and after overcoming the last big challenge, I’ll move full speed toward my goals. I hope that in the new y... Read all
