Azadi̇ Stories

This story is a detailed account of my life changing and adventurous two weeks in Iran as a solo traveller. The economy of Iran was faltering due to re-imposition of sanctions by US. The currency conversion rate makes Iran as a very cheap place for budget travellers. As a backpacker, I never intend to travel with any planning.

Umid........ kitne sapne jure hote he, kitne dil jure hote he, kitni jane tiki hoti he bas sirf ek hi umid par ........or agar yehi umid akri ho to? Pir to hun, pasina ek kar ke is umid ko pura karna hota he varna, sabh kuch katam.....

Welcome to a tale revealing an inspirational journey from beginnings of a mundane, dead-end existence to the political global hotspot of a country preparing for war against the US and it's allies and then on to a modern day quest for love, ultimately found in a most unlikely part of the world. Along the way are thoughts, observations and emotions mixed in with quizzical short stories, pop poetry, jottings, snip-bits, enthralling images and an underlying bent towards finding the lighter side of all things which pop up in the course of events. However, an undertone transcends the entire publication of never, ever give up. Enjoy the stimulation...
