Traditional the creator of the Median Kingdom was one, Deioces, who according to Herdoutes reigned from 728 to 675 BC and founded the Median capital raised in that city. On finishing her time in elementary school, the family moved into Tehran – the capital – where she continued her education. Still studying at the secondary school, the young Ruhi discovered an urge for creative writing. This has grown with her since that time. She knew for sure that she was blessed with talent. She started with short stories, novels and articles on various topics (love stories, various forms of creative writing or articles related to the social issues of the time). Young and enthusiastic, Ruhi moved to Abadan, a city with an extremely hot climate and famous for its refineries, situated in the south of Iran, There she was employed by the oil company and served in a secretarial capacity in various departments of that company for many years.
Along with family and her job responsibilities she was actively involved in a number of social societies and groups – namely membership of the Women Society, Red Cross, Prisoners’ Rights Concern, Creative Writing Group, Parents and Teachers Committee, Family Welfare, Scouts… etc. In this way she rendered valuable services to her country and its people. Meanwhile she acted as a radio presenter for the local radio of the oil company where she served as a writer and speaker for the children’s programmes. As well as her multiple activities she was a presenter on local TV and a part time correspondent for a weekly magazine issued in Tehran. A book containing her stories, named ‘Sarereh’ was published during this time which won her great success.
Ruhi lives with her husband and three children, who are now working successfully and support their mother in her social life.
The family came to Britain before the Iranian Revolution, some 31 years ago. She is engaged, as usual, in various social activities but she never neglects her writing, which remains her abiding passion. This book, and a few others including ‘Unfulfilled Love and Life’ in Farsi, MAD in English, both published in USA a few years ago, are now available at recognized bookshops in the States and in Europe. They have brought her great fame and success. Also the following books are now ready for printing:
