King of the Squares!

I wanna talk about a square in this entry…it means a lot to me, I mean that square. Let's dub it the king of all the squares in the world; in the case you scratch beneath the surface! Sadeghiyeh Square( mostly it is called a traffic circle but I prefer call it a square); somewhere that you can feel the flow of the life…its paces, its beats, wow… fast and furious, stillness and quietness, colorful lights in the blueberry nights, modern and state of the art…pretty angels and Gashte Ershads! (these days they are gone because of the election time) luxuries and trifle stuffs, Pahlevoon Mamad and his obvious lies, moving buses and crazy traffic lights, rare vendors and junk malls, …wow…its sunny days and rainy nights…hot afternoons with carrot-ice cream( hamoon havij-bastanie khodemoon!) in the summertime, summer-love, happiness and shining sun; hot chocolate in the frizzing evenings in the wintertime, winter-break up, tears and rain…see?…inspiring, motivating and stimulating…wow, lovers and broken-hearted people, together, they are waiting for the bus; what a paradox!…I can feel it there…underneath its stars; among the crowds, in the malls, behind the hedges, in front of the Esteghlal Park, next to its pool; in my heart.
I'm telling ya… Sadeghiyeh has supreme rank among the others squares; San'at Square? Ferdosi? Vanak? Hasan Abaad? Tupkhune( Emam Khomeyni)? Argentine? Felestine? Emam Hossein? Khorasan? Shush? Ghiam? Gomrok? Mohseni? Valiasr? Ghods? Haft Hoz? Emamat? Jomhuri? Sarv? Kaj? Pastor? Enghel( hamun Enghelab!)? Olympic? Otrish? Shahid Mahalati? (The followings squares do not exist anymore: Noor? Tohid? Sabze Meydune?)…EVEN AZADI!!! See? I said EVEN AZADI with all its beauty and magnificence…they are nothing in comparison with Sadeghiyeh…they are nothing except routine lives, so let them rest! But the life that is flowing in Sadeghiyeh is extraordinary...a warts and all biography…it can breathe just like you, and it can seduce you as well. Take it for granted!

I can't imagine the Tehran City without the Sadeghiye Square…that's all!



Hope to see you there :D
