He was born at 01 Jan 1932. He was also expert of poetry, playing Se-tar, Yoga, Iran history and Persian literature. I asked him about reason of being single. He answered he believed if he got married he had lesser time to improve his knowledge. He loved his mother and living with her alone. One day he went out for buying special medicine for her in the summer. That day was a hot day so he heated and felt down and became unconscious. That accident made problem for his brain and that brought Alzheimer for him and because of that he lost his house, his poem book and many things. Finally he went to a house of aged and died there at 29 Jan 2003. Rest in Peace.
