Azita Rassi is married, has two children, was born in Tehran but is from Abadan. The use of "she is from Abadan" rather than "she lives in Abadan" has been deliberate as this ex-Tehrani seems to have bonded so much with the city.

She holds a BSc in chemical engineering and an MA in English literature and has worked as an R&D assistant in the Oil Faculty and as an instructor at Payaam Noor University. She presently works as a home-based translator.

Her interests include parenting, surfing the internet, learning, reading, and of course cooking!

She considers herself an optimist, usually just following her conscience instead of a set of codes, and what she values most is her family. To her success is more wanting what she gets than getting what she wants.

She also runs a weblog called Niaaz (Need).

She write in this website under the pseudonyms:
Cyber-chef and Cyber-mom

Do you agree with her view on life?
