"Farar Maghzha" (Brain Drain) is a collection of satirical articles written by Farrokh Ashti Ashtiani over the past 25-30 years. Drawing from cultural observations rooted in both Iranian and diaspora life, these stories blur the line between satire and reality - proving that what seems absurd today may become tomorrow's truth.
Through humor and wit, Ashtiani invites Persian-speaking readers to laugh, reflect, and embrace the rare art of cultural self-examination. From Thanksgiving dinners to Tehran's streets, each story gently holds a mirror to our habits, beliefs, and cultural contradictions - asking us to see ourselves with honesty and perhaps a smile.
A book for those who believe that laughter is the beginning of wisdom.
