Life
Well, next January I should be married (first time) to Laleh "My Baby". We met last year in Istanbul, Turkey. She is a Persian and younger than me.
Now, what have I been doing. Well, first I am a geologist and Petroleum Engineer and started out with Shell Royal Dutch.

So, I think I will do something else, have kids maybe and a lot more fun.
