Six things about Kamangir you did not know!
Posted by KamangirOct 20
I got tagged by Tori and this is how the game goes,
1. Post the rules on your blog (kind of recursive, huh?)
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
4. If you’re tagged, DO IT and pass on the tag (because I am writing this, I have obviously complied with it, sort of recursive again?)
So, enough with the ranting, these are six things about Kamangir you might not have known before, assuming you do care to know of course,
1- I am afraid of the dark. I have always been and I will always be. I just get terrified of the dark. This is quite embarrassing given my age.

2- The best days of my childhood were spent in Taleghan, a rural area two hours west of Tehran. My late grandfather had a cottage there and we used to spend couple of weeks during the summer in the country. There I dug up for bones in an old cemetery which was located on a hill. A road passed besides the hill and they used to crush parts of the hill to make more space for the road. That was how the solitude of the dead would be interrupted and there would come the great discoverer of the dead. The first thing I do, after I go back to Iran, is that I will buy out the cottage from my uncles and renovate it. See pictures from that little piece of heaven here.
3- My GPA in my bachelor’s is horribly low. My current adviser was terribly shocked to see that.
4- Being raised in an irreligious (if not anti-religious) family, I find it rather interesting when I observe “holy temptations” in me. A friend of mine once anticipated that I will become a devoted religious person before I turn forty. She is known to possess psychic powers.
5- I used to not understand what the point of blogging was for a long time, before I started my own.
6- skjhsiu ylkjns l8uy s lkjh sliu ;slk ‘p[oi p[;s ;iuh luy oiy os pou spoi (You need to have the secret key to decipher this item. You have the key if you have the key).
And I tag these great people,
2- Lisa Goldman
3- Shahrzad
4- Bamdadi‘s English Blog: The Aurora
5- Terry Glavin
6- Esra’a
And a very special invitation to Nim.
I should confess that I got a little happy to hear number 3 !!!!
Sorry about that but it is just because I have the same feeling about my GPA, too :D and it gives me more confidence to see someone in my position has had the same GPA!
It is always embarrassing for me to mention my undergraduate GPA and I always wish I had focused more on getting good marks in those days.
"A friend of mine once anticipated that I will become a devoted religious person before I turn forty"
Interesting…..
I don’t know about the timing (40 years or whatever) but, Arash I strongly feel that if you become a believer, you will be a very good one!
It is also one of my believes that faith is something embedded in people’s soul. Some people have it more and some people have it less. Some people may not practically be a religious person or a believer at first. However, the lucky people are the ones who listen to their heart and realize what is inside them and eventually will gain prosperity. This is what some people refer to as "Aghebat be kheir shodan ! :) ".
Sadly, the revers may also happen for the current believers. That is why unlike what you might probably think, religious peoples do not feel they are trapped in an optimal point and they should not have any concern. It is an adventurous journey for believers, too. To preserve their faith and to have hope and fear at the same time toward the GOD.
Kamangir: You are a very good friend Amir. :)
Taleghan must be an amazing place. I met so many people with roots in Taleghan. How big is it anyway?
Kamangir: Taleghan is a large formation of villages, many of which I have never been to. And, yes, it is, as the residents say, a piece of heaven.
Thanks sir for your kind tagging.
Your work equally inspires me, on the other side of the world.
Here’s to meeting one day soon.
I’m afraid of the dark too. I keep the bedside lamp on all night every night.
I always though I was the only one in town who’s like that! :))
Thank you for tagging me. I actually had a post similar to it. Here: http://shahrzaad.wordpress.com/2007/11/18/am-i-randomly-weird/
I may try again to find some other things then :)
My GPA in my Bs is trouble too!! I’ve studied Physics! ;)
to be afraid of darkness
hmmm…
