No Title

When we are in Ramadan, we shouldn't tell lies. I'm trying but believe me it's really impossible.
…something else, a few days ago I gave a blood test which is done every year. But this time I tested about HIV too. Although I'm sure that I didn't have any wrong attempts, but I was really frightened. Even the test is fright-bringing; imagine how hard it is for the patients.

P.S. Accidentally I found that today is the international day of deaf people!!!

My Deaf Friend

Mr.X who is the hero of my story is deaf. Because his parents were cousins so their first child became paralyzed and they decided to not have any more children. He was in my university when we became friends. I was studying electronic and he was architect student. Always it was interesting for me to see his efforts of trying to understand the professor sayings when he was writing on the board. My friend was always looking at the notes of the next students to be understood.
Its obvious that all the university staff some how protects him. I remember in one of the final exams when he was writing the answers from some cheat papers who he had brought, that man who was taking care saw him and just laugh.
With all his problems he became graduated and of course found a good job.
Now he is 27 and wants to get married. He is very handsome and his family are in a good position and wealthy. By these aspects it seems easy to find the suitable girl, but he is deaf!!!
He goes to the deaf community of Iran. In this place there are lots of deaf boys and girls coming everyday and he had fell in love with one of those girls. He always insisted on marrying with a deaf person so up to now everything is OK.
But his parents say he must get married with a healthy girl. They even say we will find someone who can bare you all the life time!!! But how it's possible!
Mr.X says that girl at first years can push herself to tolerate my situation but after maybe 5 or 10 years, my money and other good points will lose their face and she will be tired of living with me.
When I look from the view point of his parents I see they want a healthy girl to improve the life of their boy and give them some healthy kids, but when I look from Mr.x side I totally agree with him.
His parents says if he marry that girl he shouldn't come back home… very hard to decide. Isn't it?

These Days...

The life is so much better than it's appeared in the hard days. It depends on how we spend it, for me nowadays it's unbelievably turns perfect when I step out of my work place.
At least thank God after work hours it's as sweet as before. But it's not fair. We should change the feeling and the environment…
Yesterday I heard about one of my classmate's marriages. Because he isn't in healthy conditions the story is nice. Tomorrow I'll write about the marriage story of Mr. X who is deaf.

I forgot to say, this environment had made lots of colleagues to change their work place. Maybe I should think about it.

1st Of Mehr

Today is the 1st of Mehr in Iran, you know what I want to say, yes it’s the 1st day of educational year here.
In the morning everywhere I was feeling this environment. Fortunately the traffic jam wasn't very heavy but the new uniforms of the children and crowded doors of the schools were just reminding that today is the 1st of Mehr.
I don't have good memories of my university era but my schools especially primary school is something else.
At that time we were living in Mashhad, and every morning Yaser and I and some times some of the cousins walk to school with each other. Believe me one of the best memories of education is your funny memories in the way:
…My mother had bought a new pair of red soft shoes for Yaser and he really loves them. Always in the house he wears them, and on the 1st of Mehr he went to school by them :D Imagin wearing soft red shoes in the school!!! I'm sure he still remembers it.

Security Problem

Today the web page of my work place was hacked by some so-called Turkish hackers. Before it I've heard about those poor organizations that have been hacked but this time I was somehow responsible for this problem or at least it was shown in this way. With a friend we investigated the probabilities and he found the reason. That hole was one of the most obvious ones which everyday I see it in security sites or books but this time it faced into our site.
The experience of sudden news of site hack was new and somehow interesting for me. At least it will make managers more responsible about site securities and also experts advise.
Thank God that the problem is solved now.

Space Passenger

Yesterday morning the first Iranian-born American woman, Mrs. Ansari left the earth to the International Space Station. She is a co-fonder of Texas Telecom company so she was able to afford 20m$ for this 10 day trip.
Actually up to now, about 200 people have reserved this trip till 2008 and Mrs. Ansari was one of them but because one of the Japanese scientists of Soyuz( the capsule which will carry them to ISS) were not in healthy conditions they replaced him with Mrs.Ansari. Because 2 weeks ago this replacement happened so all the equipments are for that Japanese person even the foods.
Launching Soyuz to ISS (about 400km) will take 2 days long. Because all the measurements should be very exact to not lose the capsule in unlimited space but coming back from ISS will take about 4 hours.
Anyway, this trip is done out of a huge measurements and team-works but there never could be any guarantee that if you leave the earth you will come back again. Its space and have its own probabilities.
As a dream I wish I were in her shoes :D a very adventures trip with not clear future. I wish good luck for her.

Kiss the Lovely Face Of God

I'm waiting for Ramadan.
Everyone knows that in this month Moslem don't eat and drink and do some certain jobs to keep their promise with God in worshipping him (why God pronoun is always HE?!!!)
It's obvious that he doesn't need our worships and also most of us are neglectful about the orders of this process.
I'm also one of them ,but in my case this neglect is very natural because I always think that my God is too near ,so whenever I need him I can count on him and even if I forget him in some cases, he will always reminds me.
But Ramadan is different than other months. I really like this fasting, not its hungers and thirsts, but the feeling of trying to remember some things better than your usual life. Remembrance of God in this month is very good (of course I admit that there is no need to remember God by fasting)
And another good point of this month is that Mehrdad and I will eat dinner with each other. And because he is hungry he never understands the bad points of my dish :D
I'm waiting for Ramadan…


P.S. The title of this post is the name of a book I read last week.

Bad Morning

The way you start your morning is very important for your long day. At least for me it's true. When at the immediate morning something bothers me, some times it's impossible to forget that memory till night.
Thank God in 90% cases this offence will be forgotten during night sleep and next morning you can feel better if again something else doesn't bother you!!!
We have a good proverb in Persian about this story. Do you know what I'm talking about? ;)

My grandmother was very happy when she saw these flowers in her room. Her cares were successful!

Ideal Way Of Thinking

Some days ago I was with a friend who never listens to the news. His reason of not listening to any news was interesting for me:
He said, when you listen to news as the source of new information your brain faces into a great deal of new things. For example a war in Palestine, a flood in India, a plane crash in …, burning a child with 3 hands, finding a new vaccine for HIV virus and lots more.
Your brain should handle all these data, and managing them in your brain cells will take time and energy.
He suggested getting information about a 1-dimension subject and then after a while, for example 6 months, you'll find you are getting expert in that field very unintentionally.
Somehow he is right!!! I also think reading news is a hobby which is sometimes a time consuming job to kill the time. What's your idea?

Fall Coming

In Tehran you can easily hear the smell of fall, yellow leaves everywhere, shortest days, somehow a cold breeze remembering of course polluted air and us to be careful.
Even they have predicted maybe the schools should start one week later to avoid student’s harms out of the dirty weather.
Anyhow, I love this season changing in Iran. It’s very very better than just having one season all the year. Here you are experiencing your age passing in different kinds of weather and it’s somehow more adventures and interesting!!!

Self-Sacrificing

Today I found something funny about that plane crash in Mashad. I don't know if you have seen the photos or no, but it's obvious that the front part of the plane got the most damages and those poor 29 people were sitting at that part while those ones who were at the end part survived.
By this image, I thought that the crew staffs are among those dead 29 ones, but amazingly I found that none of those 11 people, even the pilot were even injured.
Now I'm seeing that image more clearly. That plane landed but the tires didn't work. It had the accident and suddenly the flames were all over. The emergency doors should be opened to make that run easier but the first ones at that doors were the staff.
From the moral point of view that pilot should remain in the plane till the moment all the passengers left (like Titanic :D) but …

Despising Feeling

In my work place ,I'm working with my male and female colleagues. Because we are in IT department it's very natural that we have close relationships. This level of relations is not valid from the view point of prejudice managers who think our cloths or talks will make everywhere full of sins.
This story isn't a new one, but today the main manager called all the women!!! And talked to us and asked not to wear these short cloths or maybe don't wear makeup or talk with men or…
But none of them never ever first think that in a work place,where we come everyday to spent most of our day time, just the environment will encourage us to do our jobs and this environment is made by every members of it , no matter man or woman, and if its faked then all of the members are responsible for making it healthy again because its their living room. It's none of the business of that manager who thinks maybe Islam is in problem by those actions. It's something completely personal, you can't go to your neighbor and order him to wear yellow cloths, but…
This despising feeling was making me really depressed, but I will never forget that I'm living in this damn beloved Iran!!!

Crash Again

It's been about 1 yesr since that C-130 plane crash in Tehran which resulted in lots of journalist die. I was wondering why this cycle haven't been continued ,because in our country very logically we should have at least 2 plane crash each year according to this primitive airplanes and airlines.
Yesterday this year's crash happened in Mashad airport and because the tiers of the plane didn't work properly while landing, it fired and about 30 people burned in the flames and more was injured.
Just thinking about that moment when they were poisoned in that bunch of metal and flame and screaming for the help is sorrow bringing.
We are paying the costs of living here and most of the times this price is very expensive.
