Hello 29

I was sixteen days old that the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq started; now I am 29 and the coup's government has cancelled all public ceremonies, religious and non-religious, afraid of people's gatherings. And there were a lot of hopes and fears between these years...
I have a first-hand experience on war, on death, on ideology, on living on coupons, on industry development, on elections, on press freedom, on suppressing the press, on art for good, on art for art, on earthquakes, on cooperation for reconstructing, on love, on social activism, on making change and being changed, on being arrested and interrogated, on living abroad, on traveling, on depression, on coup d'état. I have lived a lot in these years; what is better than it?
