Picnics in Darakeh with Dr Pasargadi, our teacher, 1961






In the second and third year of college we used to go on picnics on the mountains and valleys of northern Tehran with Dr Pasargadi as our guide and teacher. Pasargadi was funny, sporty and we all loved to sit in his classes. On these days I often took Simin and Manuchehr with me.




They were teenagers in high school years and my friends in the college, especially the ones from Kerman province met them often especially when after the end of year we all travelled back to Kerman by bus to spend the summer with our families.



The photo on the top alongside the falls shows Dr Pasargadi in a relaxed pose with Manuchehr in front of him. I am sitting on the left of the falls with Rafat Hassanpour and another girl.



The photo on the right of the second row, shows Manuchehr sitting beside me on the left and Simin standing.



These photos were taken by Mani on a day or days we went to Darakeh valleys, climbed the mountains and passed the falls and had a wonderful picnic.
