Clipping: Baba Bozorg

Photo essay: Old article about my father's father

I was at my Ammeh Parvin's house the other day and I saw a pile of newspaper clipping on her dining table, including a copy of an article about my grandfather, Abdolreza Javid, in Abadan's oil company newsletter "Akhbar Hafteh". There was no date on it but my guess is that it was published before 1953. I learned so many little things about him which I was not previously aware of. Note: He was the head of the regional oil company personnel department and therefore the writer was extra kind. Also, the author says that he traveled abroad to study but does not say where. It was India :o)

Sounds familiar!

Your grandfather sounds like he was a very interesting man. He gave up trade for a job which he seemed to love. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?! Az haminja begeer o boro, so much in the way he is described sounds just like you! As for matalak-goo va matalak-sheno, I doubt your grandfather heard half as much matalak as you have in your lifetime!

This was delightful to read, Jahanshah. Thanks for sharing it.
