What I’m Into When I’m Not Working

Music

I have a deep passion for music. It’s both a creative outlet and a source of balance in my life. I play the piano and am currently learning guitar, enjoying the challenge and expression each instrument offers.

Tennis

Tennis is one of my favorite ways to stay active and clear my mind. I enjoy the mental focus and strategic thinking it demands, along with the energy and rhythm of the game.

Video Games

Gaming is how I unwind and reset, and it’s become a great way to stay connected with friends. If you’re wondering why there are so many FIFA FC screenshots here, let’s just say I’m pretty good at it. All the scores you see? Earned against a friend who shall remain unnamed 😄.

Calligraphy

Calligraphy is one of my favorite creative outlets, blending focus, patience, and aesthetic expression. I’m not quite confident enough to share my own work yet, but here are a few pieces from my teacher that I really admire 🙂.

By Mojtaba Karami

This collection features 43 bilingual artworks showcasing the quatrains of Omar Khayyam, paired with Edward Fitzgerald’s renowned English translations. For the first time, Khayyam’s verses are brought to life through both Persian and English calligraphy, presented in the form of classical, museum-quality works of art.

Like the piece on the left, this work showcases bilingual calligraphic renderings of Omar Khayyam’s quatrains alongside Edward Fitzgerald’s English translations.
Both of these pieces were gifted to the British ambassador but were tragically destroyed during the attack on the British Embassy in Tehran in 2010.

Photography

I enjoy capturing everyday moments with my phone camera. All the photos featured here were taken using my Galaxy S23.
