Individuality is worth it all

“Capital dwellers” is the adjective attached to us. The smoky Tehran, the expensive Tehran, the merciless Tehran, the lonely Tehran! Loneliness is as fashionable here as individuality. And I perhaps fall for this individuality; this fact that not all the time I’m being monitored and judged. This is why I don’t like smaller cities in which, it seems, everybody is obliged to control you. In which all the people find themselves entitled to comment on every petty issue of your life, your appearance, your mood and your secrets. And the smaller the city, the more meaningless becomes the privacy. And the stronger becomes the rivalry. And gossiping and talking behind others’ backs becomes more frequent. And the atmosphere becomes more intolerable. Right, Tehran is expensive, polluted, crowded, not that much moral-minded. I, however, never exchange the individuality I have in Tehran for the [seemingly better] life in other cities.

an off topic question: your English is awesome, I'd like to know if you've been living abroad for a while or you've developed this skill domestically :)

سلام محمد عزيز
مشتاق ديدار
خوبي برادر؟

حتما ميخوانم و نظر ميدهم.
ممنونم

پي‌نوشت: راستش دليل خاصي ندارد. من فقط فكر كردم مدت‌هاست ديگر وبلاگنويسي نمي‌كني. حواسم نبود كه تاريخ پست‌ها را چك كنم. دوباره اضافه كردم.

پس از خواندن متن های آنتی تهرانی برخی حضرات لذت بردم .... هر چند بسیاری از آنچه که عیب شمرده می شود از نگاه من زیبایی تهران است . اما تهران قهوه خانه ی خوب و ارزان ندارد ! باید در تهران سیگاری بود . همین

سلام عرض شد جناب معماريان؛

اول برام خيلي غريبه بودي، اما با ديدن عكس آيت؛ توي اون تصوير يادگاري؛ يه جورايي آشنا شدي...

من اصلا با اين سيستم وبلاگي آشنا نيستم؛ خيلي سخته انگار كار كردن باهاش...

حالا چرا تمام پست‌ها غير فارسي نوشته شده؟!!

دين براي شما هم سبك زندگي شده؟ يا همون مبنا؟!

موفق باشيد
ياعلي../
