And here is a strange chapter of life of us, Iranians, narrated by my friend, Vahid: Filmi (in Farsi).

Followup:
On June 25, 2003, the Guardian published an English translation of Vahid’s article. The translation is slightly shorter than the original document which is not uncommon in the news world with lack of space always being an issue. While the Farsi version of this article conveys the sincere anger and repulsion of a young man from his surrounding environment, many words in the English version especially those that are related to the Middle East conflict turn to serve other meanings. This is not the translator’s fault. It is just amazing how the same text can be perceived totally different in two different contexts: Filmi (in English).
