Well, childhood memories are always great. I grew up in one of the northern cities of Iran called Babol and in a charming and spectacular place called Marzikola, and I spent all my childhood and adolescence there.
It was a calm and relaxing environment where all classes of people lived. In my neighborhood, people were generally quite nice and friendly. Although farming was the main occupation of people, this is no longer true, and people now have diverse occupations like teaching, engineering, doing business and so on. People were very kind and welcoming to others.
Besides, The green environment, comfortable weather, fresh air, scenic beauty, and the simple life of people made it an ideal place to live in. As it was very close to the capital city, all the modern facilities like the internet, theatre, library, and parks were all present there.
The village was a very pleasant place to grow up in for many reasons. First of all, It was safe and quiet, and it was surrounded by beautiful scenery. Another reason is the strong bonding among the people. As a child, there was always something to do there. I played football and it was located pretty close to towns and small cities if vou needed anything else.
Unfortunately, I don’t live there anymore because after I graduated from university, I moved to another city for higher education. However, I often go there to visit my family members and relatives who still live there. When I reach my sixties, I will definitely go back there to live permanently as it was a wonderful place as a child and besides, it holds a special place in my heart with many nostalgic memories from my childhood.
