I think I hide it well even from myself for a while...<BR/>I knew I will miss Tehran‘s blue sky, I knew I will miss "Parastoohay e Daneshgah e Tehran", I knew I will miss Tehran's portrait in Fall, I knew I will miss Farmanieh and Bagh e Ferdos, and I knew I will painfully miss my loved ones (friends and some family members that I loved/love deeply)...but I knew so well I will not miss Iran...<BR/>Maybe because I already had another "home" for years out side of the mother land...But I truly believe the reason was not that...<BR/><BR/>I learned long time ago that no obligation brings love and attachment. Today I look back and while there are times and moments that I can even smell "koocheh baghy hay e Farmanieh" (where my previous "home" used to be) I still wonder: When did my "home" and "homeland" became somewhere else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464041141229639447.post-24255318101613709962008-01-03T05:25:00.000-08:002008-01-03T05:25:00.000-08:00Unfortunately you really embarrassed me.

I don't generalize, but I also had so many unpleasant and terrible memories from my childhood and young adulthood that I don't miss the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
