Last Tuesday Night

Norouz is coming…
Last night was Charshanbe suri in Iran. If you are not Persian you will never understand what I mean. Actually it was an old tradition, maybe started by Zoroastrians, done at the last Tuesday night of the year. At this night ancient Iranians fire some woods and by jumping over it purities their souls from dirtiness; because they think fire is the symbol of cleanness.
But unfortunately this nice costume is distorted during last 20 years. Maybe the reason was forbidding it by Islamic powers. People never stop their hobbies, even by force. So these hidden actions convert that nice fire to very dangerous bombs which make a big noise and most of the times cause bad injuries.
I don't know when this wave is stopped. But we can very easily manage it by turning back to those nice days.
