Salam Doostan,
I just wanted to write to everyone here to tell you I miss you guys.
I've been meaning to reach out to each one of you individually to say hello and perhaps chat on the phone or meet for coffee. Things have been really busy for me and I keep putting off the promotion of the book because of it. I also had to give up the Nowruz Foundation for the same reason because it was taking up too much of my time.
I've been really busy in the last 9 months setting up the strategic plan for Andishgah and we are going to have our first program in a lecture series on October 13th in UCLA on the topic of central bank, monetary policy and inflation. We have secured a grant for an 18 month project on the same topic and the good news is that the person we have in charge of this project is 10 times more qualified to be Iran's governor of central bank than the current governor that Rohani has picked. I will send you guys the flyer for the program when its ready.
Since I never got rid of this googlegroup, I thought I use it to get in touch with you guys and tell you that I miss you.
Amir
