Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – August 29, 1997

We went to Alborz Qom with Eft and Mohsen and some guards to see the condition of the pistachio trees. Before the revolution, the Dejsaz company partnered with him to promote Tulit properties in Alborz. Because Mr. [Abulfazl] Tulit had given his affairs to the struggle, after I went to prison and then the victory of the revolution, real estate was not considered due to more important responsibilities. Since a few years ago, the land has been divided and everyone has contributed to the construction. Mohsen, in my share, has planted about 15 hectares of pistachio trees and has recently been equipped with drip irrigation. The condition of the trees is not bad, but it is less than expected. The trees of the late Haj Qasim's brother's family are better than ours. Asghar and an Afghan named Ibrahim work for us. I told Mohsen to be more active. We also visited the Afghan worker's housing. It wasn't him. I drove a car on the side roads. I haven't been driving for a long time. I returned home at noon.

In the evening, I spent my time working on the key to the Quran and studying the history of the wars between Iran and Russia. In the reports, the situation in southern Lebanon seems to be critical.
