ABOUT ME

Me and my wife (Sediqeh), we have struggled a lot to be together and to follow our own interests! We were students of Mechanical Engineering. We were fans of philosophy and art. After doing a long-length indi-film, we decided to quite our uni and start again in the fields of our interests... within Iranian families, it is too harsh, you know!
My first and foremost concern is the problem of "language", and for Sediqeh, it is the problem of "society". So here we are: I'm studying Linguistics, and she is a Sociology student. And also, after a long hard procedure, we are now married! The life is so shiny... we study like a horse, we talk, we watch a lot of movies, read the novels and short stories together, etc.

We are here to host cool boys and girls visiting Iran, to share cultures and ideas, talking about our concerns and interests, and finally, to make friends :)
