What you’re going to read is neither fiction nor exaggeration. It’s pure reality and is called the Ghaz Square. Located at the very center of Literature faculty of Allame Tabatabaei university, the so-called Ghaz Sq. is surrounded by what it seems to be a segregated piece of Amazon jungles; tall,strange and anything-but-green colored bushes alongside with countless trees. Yet, it’s in the middle of a university… weird, huh? Then you might want to turn your head and take a closer look. It’s always crowded with students laughing out loud, doing everything to pass their break even using forks or leaves as a ball…but with all this, sometimes they run out of things to do and that’s when the last two options come in. They either decide to walk around the square, which is 10 meters long in diameter, until they faint or lit up cigarettes and start smoking, again until they faint! It has been said that trees are the lungs of our planet; well, not in here. I’m sure if one day, by the might of almighty, these trees be granted the ability to repeat the most frequent thing they’ve heard, they’ll say:” Light me up buddy, may Lord shine light upon you”! Because in Ghaz Square not a single day passes without a student coming to you out of nowhere, asking:” Atish dari?!” It’s also been a new fashion of making friends recently (yes, it all started from a lighter; how romantic!) Nobody knows why on the earth smokers congregate here to smoke their lives.
Anyways, although most of the times it smells funny and never has enough benches to rest on(put aside the always smoky view), this little piece of land has been and is the only place that you can really feel comfortable and do things that you think being in a university avoids doing them; it doesn’t feel like university , being in Ghaz Square.
P.S: There is no goose at all.
