🎭 Literature & Poetry
I believe that many profound moral concepts are deeply embedded in Persian literature . For example, in the story of Zahhak , the tyrant was forced to feed two serpents growing from his shoulders. To maintain his tyranny, he had to sacrifice the brains of young men. This symbolizes how oppressive powers always target creative minds, since tyrants are threatened by free thought. In another tale from Ferdowsi's Shahnameh ( FA Link ), the unparalleled hero Rostam once fights in an unjust way and, tragically, kills his own son, Sohrab . This teaches us that when one chooses to fight with injustice, the consequences eventually turn against oneself. Even in Kalila and Dimna , the stories of two jackals convey timeless ethical lessons through masterful literary devices. In today's world—where AI can generate outputs in fractions of a second—literature remains the cultural backbone of nations and civilizations. Persian literature, in particular, is a true source of wisdom. Throughout history, after countless wars and struggles, what has endured is the Persian language and its literature.
Here are my favourite poems and literature:
(FA) An amazing poem by Hafez, about exploring romantic experiencing and the emotional aspects of love
(FA) An amazing poem by Saadi. In this poem, the poet expresses their deep feelings about separation and its pain.
🎵 Music & Podcasts
I find soft, melodic music with thoughtful lyrics truly admirable. I especially enjoy Turkish music and Turkish singers. Just as I believe the Persian language carries a strong literary tradition, I also believe the people of Turkey possess remarkable artistry in music. Of course, while I haven't explored all cultures and traditions—these are simply the ones I personally admire. Depending on my mood, I'm often drawn to podcasts as well as creative blends of music and visuals. One of my dreams for retirement is to own a small bookstore where I can play beautiful music, while spending my time experimenting with mixing images and sounds together in a corner of the shop.
Here are my favourite music, padcastes, and videos:

🗣️ Languages
I have a deep appreciation for local languages. Many of my friends have been the ones who taught me regional words and expressions, and I've always enjoyed learning from them. Whenever I move to a new place, I try to learn the local language and culture, to respect it, and to connect with the people in an authentic way. Persian and Georgian are my native languages, and I can communicate very well in English too. I also have some familiarity with Kurdish , and Dutch , and I'd love to keep learning more. Languages like Spanish , French , German , and many others are on my wish list. Sometimes I wish I could master them all!
🏔️ Mountain Adventures
During my leisure time, I prefer escaping to the mountains. There's something profoundly peaceful about hiking through mountain trails, breathing fresh air, and gaining new perspectives from higher altitudes. It's my way of disconnecting from the digital world and reconnecting with nature - often returning with clarity for complex technical problems.
🌟 Role Models
Role models provide direction and a benchmark for excellence, turning vague ambitions into clear, actionable goals. They accelerate learning by example—showing not just what to do, but how to think under pressure and recover from setbacks. Their stories build resilience and motivation, helping us persist when progress feels slow. Good role models also strengthen our ethical compass, reminding us that outcomes matter most when aligned with values. Over time, they shape identity and confidence, nudging us to adopt better habits, seek constructive feedback, and pay it forward for others.
Here are my favourite role models:
An amazing role model. Writer of the book 'Getting started with Java on the Raspberry Pi'
