In a winter that is not so much winter and we have not even seen a single snow, do you like winter? – Winter is better than summer anyway, but I have bad memories of winter. When we were children, we lived in the southernmost part of Tehran city, and our streets were not asphalted but full of mud and loose stones. Javadiyeh is settled now; at that time, it was full of potholes, and when it rained, garbage would flow in that direction. It was a desert. Since we were six or seven years old, we have been playing in the streets with a cloth and a torn ball. I had a friend named Hossein Abshanasan, who later became the head of the federation. He was older than us and our captain.
