Corruption

Now 4 days from the start of limitation in fuel distribution in Iran ,has passed. Up to now lots of events has happened.
1- At the first hours of the announcement of the project lots of cars ran into the stations and the traffic became unique from almost20 years ago which we were in Iraq war and each car had a coupon for about 80 liter per month.
2- Angry people of Tehran attacked into the stations and also some of the chain stores and also banks and totally ruined them. Of course these damages are compensatable but it was just an alert for those governors who never think about people and social satisfaction levels.
3- About 800000 cars haven't got their smart cards yet, it means they should borrow their friend's or park their cars until their cards are available. Getting a new card need at least one month ,so it shows how much trouble are still here left.
4- People should be more economic in fuel consumption , but your necessary works can't be reduced so you should omit some other parts of car usage such as entertainment or traveling.
5- Today we found 2 gass stations which are selling fuel at double price but unlimited to any car. It means that the corruption of this plan has been started and some people are making money just by this hurry decision.

...and lots of more subjects to be discussed here, but the only thing I can feel is the life level of Iranian which is decreasing day by day and none of them wants to object.

Week - 31

Hi honey,how are you? Sorry that yesterday I was sad and put you in trouble too.
These days people of Iran are so worried about the new situation of fuel limitations and all the discussions are about it. Even yesterday Hadi said while he was in a taxi and radio said about the start of limitations then the driver started to cry, because he afford his life only by working as a taxi man and now with this less sharing he won't be able to continue his job. Yesterday I heard all these news and something else happened too so i lost my control and made you sad. really sorry. I don't like to say this but I think naturally you are getting used to live in Iran, maybe one day when we move to Malaysia then we regret why we haven't decide it earlier.
... Lets talk about your improvements, up to now you are about 1.5kg and 40cm !!!! Up to now I haven't solve this question that how a 40cm creature is in my stomach. It's because you are rounded so you have been roomed in this small space.
Your mommy has bought you the last parts of cloths and bath wares . Now we are all ready except your house.
... And your daddy, I feel he is trying to not put me on stress ,and I feel he is counting days for your birth. So I've decided to not become angry by these social problems and try to just think about you in the last weeks.
And one good news, eventually yesterday the senate members ratified the rule of extending new mothers off days from 4 months to 6 and also they let us to come home 1 hour earlier for 24 months. All of these means that I've more time to be with you.
Kiss you honey, think about my sayings and rest there.

Fuel Sharing

At last after months of discussions ,the plan of starting limitation in fuel distribution in Iran started from last night. It was so unbelievable that while lots of cars haven't got their smart cards yet,the government starts his plan.
Up to now some news from riots in different gas stations is heard and people are still in the shock of what to do with it.
Unfortunately this economical plan won't have any sensible output in the people's life style, because this amount of money which will be saved by this plan will be shared with Lebanon,Palestine,Cuba,Syria and lots of other poor countries who have close relations with Iran governors.

Oh,Mehrdad what should we do with the coming of our angel and the problems of this plan?!!!!!!!!!1

No face, no name, no number

Love is like the ocean, burning in devotion
When you go, go, go, oh no
Feel my heart is burning, when the night is turning
I will go, go, go, oh no

Baby I will love you
Every night and day
Baby I will kiss you
But I have to say

No face, no name, no number
Your love is like a thunder
I'm dancing on a fire, burning in my heart
No face, no name, no number
Oh girl I'm not a hunter
Your love is like desire, burning in my soul
No face, no name, no number
Oh love is like a thunder
Oh love is like the heaven, it's so hard to find
No face, no name, no number
Girl I'm not a hunter
Your love is like a river, flowing in my mind

Feel your dreams are flying, dreams are never dieing
I don't go, go, go, oh no
You're eyes tells a story, baby oh don't worry
When you go, go, go, oh no
Baby cause I love you
Forever and a day
Baby I will kiss you but I have to say

4 ---> 6

I'm tracing all the news about ratifying a rule for making off days of new mothers from 4 months to 6 months. Maybe it sounds funny but it's so important for we, employee women, who are going to have a child in near future and staying more times at home for feeding that small angel.
Today this plan again is coming into Senate court and the members will discuss about it. I hope they decide their mind ASAP.

Temporary Mariiage

These days lots of discussions are heard in different websites and newspapers of Iran about the legitimacy of temporary marriage. I think for foreigners it's not clear but from my view it's exactly same as those illegal affairs in other countries which is made out of the poor wealth condition of the women in most of the times.
Our governors (of course MEN) are advertising of this way of sexual affairs as a way of controlling those youth who can't have permanent spouses!!!
This is the most ridiculous idea which I've heard recently. There are certainly lots of bad results after having this connections. One of them can be the number of unwanted pregnancies which will increase in this case. Of course those people who do this action are not looking forward having children and because they won't have any training about prevention ways, so the amount of abortion in not official centers will be increased.
In the USA ,which is an open minded country in these subjects and always lots of training are done about preventions, about 56% of pregnancies are unwanted. Compare this amount with 75% in Iran( ! ) and think about illegal ways of abortion which will result into 25% of mother death in Iran. All these comparisons doesn't have any conclusion except sorrow and sigh for our Iranian women.

Bad Chance

What would be your reaction when you won a lottery and then because of the lack of identification card,they make it again and give the gift to another person?
At this case I prefer to not be the winner from the first time!!!

Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!

Week - 30

Hi my sweetheart, how are you?How is going there? I think day by day your room is getting tighter and you feel more uncomfortable while playing there. But you should adopt to this hard situation for almost 70 days, then you will see how big is the world.
You are about 1.36 kg and 37.5 cm.I can surely tell when you are asleep and when you are awake. Up to now ,the time of your rest is applicable with mine, but it's not certainly the way you are choosing after your birth.I've started a new schedule for you in hearing nice voices, you know what I mean ;) It's so amazing that when you are listening to Holy Quran or some classic musics then your movements are much more palpable. Lots of my friends have advised it before, Yazdan's mom said it was so true for him before and after the birth.
Last week was so good for us. We went to lots of parties and I really enjoyed my time. Lots of friends are inviting us to show their kindness. Even that frightening earthquake was a start of another good night. And also 2 days ago was the fifth anniversary of your parents marriage. I can see it so clearly while we went to Imam Reza's holy shrine with lots of my family and that man said those verses and we became spouses. Even now, when I think about it ,I should try to stop my cries. It is really one of the best memories in my mind... and now after 5 years God has sent you to us. Life is so beautiful, try to come and feel all the moments.
Some times I think about the days that you are coming to us and talking about your becoming husband maybe in 20 years. I deeply hope that your selection be as successful as mine. At that time, if you read these lines then you'll find what I'm saying.
Now you have a nice pink dress from Makeh which one of my friends has brought as a souvenir . The collection of your cloths and toys are completing each day, just we are waiting for the house to become ready for movement.
Weather is getting so hot here. We try our best to not make you disturbed by temperature, but being born in Virgo has some difficulties which you should bare. You know lots of our friends are in the same month as you? Your mommy, uncle, Attijoon, Khale Sanaz ... are in the same month as you. So your behavior in the future is somehow predictable.
Try to enjoy these last weeks over there( we have passed 75%) and keep resting. Kiss you honey, Bye for now.

My 5 Wishes

A new game has been started in some Persian weblogs. For participating in this game you should name your top 5 wishes. After lots of thinking I found mine:

1- Health for all my family members. I think this is the big gift by God which always when we are in lack of it ,then remember it's main value.
2- Gathering my family to each other after almost 5 years. From my marriage always one of my family members have been absent in the meetings, in my wedding Yaser wasn't there, when we traveled to Malaysia daddy wasn't there, for Yaser's wedding Javad wasn't here, and now again for my baby birth Javad is not again with us. I'm really waiting for taking a big family picture while we all are together.
3- Having children as good as ourselves to our parents.
4- Saving my good friends up to my death time. I know they are more valuable than any treasure in my life.
5- Enjoy my work-time. When I enjoy my work, I feel I'm living at my work place ,but sometimes when I'm doing unwanted jobs then I'm just counting minutes to pass( Actually I'm counting my life time to pass faster!!! )

These are my top 5 wishes for the life. Some people have written about having travel to all the world or being so rich or improvements in their jobs and life style. But the more I think, the more I become sure that I'm really satisfied with my present life situation and I'm waiting only for these items to come true.

You can write about your wishes and participate in the game. It's interesting I think.

Earthquake

This is not the first time that I choose this subject, if you review my posts each year atleast one of my subjects has been about earthquake. It's because of the nature of my country which is always ready for having a severe one and also my fears about it.
Yesterday we had another one in Tehran which was 5.4 in Richeter scales and was completely felt in all the areas of the city. For the first time in last months I was at home in a holiday and at the moment of it, I was talking with my mom at the phone. Suddenly my dad felt it from there and then I felt it. It was really a shock ,I was really afraid. Mehrdad was taking bath,I ran to him and asked to be out very quickly , the only good part of it was my mom availability on the phone who was trying to calm me and talked and talked until I felt better. After it some of my friends called and I was pushing to forget the whole story.
Thanks kind God that made it not severe and without any damages it finished, but I didn't sleep very well last night. I was waiting for the Main one.
In our religious believes ,it's said that each person will die in the place which has been preset for him/her from birth time, so running away from dead is not so rational. I ,personally, believe it. But accept that dying under the debris of an earthquake is so sad. As i said before, I prefer to die with all my family in that situation, if God left one of them ,then it will be much more difficult to tolerate...

In this hot weather even the image of an ice-cream is making a cold feeling.

Tajrish Square

In the mornings ,when I'm coming to work , I should pass Tajrish Square. This is an old palce located in the north of Tehran and the start of Valiasr Avenue. It's famous for the old gardens based there and also Imamzadeh Saleh and traditional Bazar.
Because it's in a rich area of Tehran so your eyes are always looking for the new cloth and hair style and also latest models of the cars there. But in the early morning,when I'm going to work the face of the square is totally different. There is a chain store there which sells cheap foods. You'll see lots of old women and men who are standing in long queus and waiting for the store open time to get a share of that cheap foods. It's really sad. Most of them are retired people who don't have any other job at home and by waiting in these lines are passing their times.
This contrast of looking at that famous square always makes me sad.

Week - 29

Hi honey, how are you?
Always when I write these mails to you, I'm alone ,most of the times at my work place and have enough time to think about what should I say. But this time your father is sitten next to me and is commenting about each sentences I'm writing ,so I really can not concentrate :D ( Honey, writing these lines made him leave us for some minutes :) )
Any way, we have entered week 29. Your improvements are so good and visible every mornings. Adopting to the new situation by my body is like a miracle. Everything is going to be at the right place, even you food is preset here, isn't it interesting? The bigger you become, the more adaptive reflexes are made in my body. Really it's fantastic!!!
Yesterday I was with my university classmates. One of them have a 2 year old daughter. She was so naughty and didn't let her mom to understand what is eating. I'm wondering about your future , but whatever your behaviour will be I'll love you ;)
Today is Friday and your daddy is in Mashad. We want to go and buy some of your cloths but Tehran weather is getting too hot, so your mommy said she will go alone some other day. Everybody are caring about you not your mom :))
.

Your father is waiting here to work with the computer. I shorten this letter but promise to come back soon. Take rest and be quiet ;)
Huggggggggggsssssssss & Kisssssssssseeesssssssss

Illegal Film Distribution

These days in Iran you can download every new film from internet, or if you don't have any high speed internet access then you can find all the date cinema films at the corners of famous avenue with a price less than 2$. I don't know how much this procedure will continue but the more this illegal film distribution improves, the more damage will be push to Iran cinema industry. We lack the rule of banning this movement and surprisingly the responsible man ask for supporting morality by the people to not buy these films. But it's not the way, they certainly should arrest activists like drug smugglers.
At the moment I'm downloading Sherek 3 cartoon. So is it my fault of using these sites or someone else's who had shared it without any copy write rule?!!!

BiBi & Majid

If you are an Iranian ,I'm sure you have seen "Majid Stories" Series which was directed by Kiomars Poorahmad and shown in IRIB 1 channel. Last night in a live program ,the director was seaten there and answering to the questions after almost 20 years of making that series. I realy enjoyed all the program. It was a remembrance of my childhood and the nice simple world of it. The nostalgia feeling which is felt always after watching an episode of this serial is a feeling which I'm thankful of God for having it.
you can watch this program tomorrow by this link .
At the middle of the program ,they talked about BiBi who was grandma of Majid in the story and mother of the director in the reality. She was always a copy of my grandmother, Abji. I think Yaser can remember those days which we always compare them and confess lots of their kindness, caring, cooking techniques, economical living,wisdom ... are the same. Even now Mehrdad has found these similarities. I ask God for the health of these two kind grandmothers for being our positive sources of energy.

Not 1 Subject

Tehran is getting so hot. The nice days of spring have gone, I should wait till next year to feel it again.

At work ,it seems hot too,not from temperature view but from the works I should do. I think the more I near to my off days, the more works I'm expected to do. In this cases I only use Mehrdad advice which says go into the site and take a nap !!!

The stress of restrictions in fuel distribution is felt all over, most of the discussions are about it and still no one can predict what will happen in the future. This is a puzzle but not an easy one, it has more than 10000 pieces which should be solved by these uneducated governor men and it's the reason of being so pessimistic about the future. Let's see what will happen.

How good it was if I were able to write poems in English...

At first look ,it seems that Nima is holding a doll, but it's her 2 day old sister who has slept in his arms as an angel. Hey Nima khan, take good care of her !!!!

Paris Hilton

Today I heard in the news that the famous celebrity ,Paris Hilton, should stay in the prison for 45 days out of her driving without valid driving license. As you know, she is the only inheritor of big Hilton Hotels in all over the world and is so rich.
After staying in the prison for 3 days , one of the court judges changed her punishment to stay in her house for the rest of the prison time. But when lots of rumors were spread all over there which says because of her money they have reduced her punishment, that judge changed his mind and again put her in a real prison.
Even now, I can't believe the whole story.

Week-28

Hi honey,how are you?First give me a big kiss :D then tell me about your improvements. You are about 35 cm and 1kg. Isn't it fantastic? It means that from 14 kg of my weight gain up to now only 1kg is you and the rest should be reduced after your birth :))) Who will do it ,I don't know.
Yesterday we went to your gynacalogist and she said you are not as big as she wished. She said I should reduce my work hours and try to stay home more than before. When I told it to your dad ,his eyes were shocked. He was thinking what more should he do to make me more comfortable and I was just laughing.
Now you have lots of nice cloths and also toys. I prefer not to buy you lots of dolls and cooking wares but when I look at the nice dolls available, then I couldn't resist in buying them. How nice is your fantasy world, with lots of colors and joys and also tools of migration to adults world !!! When you are kids, you are only trying to become old enough for being counted in the society ,and when you become old enough ,then you'll miss your childhood. This cycle is repeating and repeating and the secrets of it's repetition is nice.
Now you are able to hear my voice so clearly. Isn't it nicer than your dad's one?!! :D I think it is:)) Just kidding. You are experianting to communicate with people by talking and your first experiment is hearing my voice. So try to be very successful.
I want to talk with you every minutes but I should think about you and my readers who will be tired of reading lots of lines. So it's enough for today. Have good rest. Take care honey,kisssssssssss.

Holidays

In Iran we had 2 days off as holidays. When we look at the calendar to see the reasons of these holidays we should only laugh or better to say cry. For nothing we stop a country from working.
... But this holiday wasn't very bad for me. I've started packing my luggages for moving to the new house and I finished lots of jobs with the help of my mom and dad. Now looking at this house with most of the things in the boxes is some how kind of paradox. From one hand I had lots of enthusiasm for moving to the new house which is bigger and more beautiful than the oldest one and also near my parents, but from the other hand I'm leaving my first common house with Mehrdad which was the symbol of all our love and happiness for starting our marriage.
Life is going on, we should adapt with the changes.

Yahoo Unlimited

From yesterday Yahoo Team has developed their E-Mail service and now everyone who had an account before ,has an unlimited storage in Yahoo servers. At first glance maybe it doesn't sound very especial occasion but when you look deeper and think about it's meaning ,you'll find the big meaning behind it. It means as much as you want, you can save information in your mailbox,1M, 1G, 100G...!!!
When I compare it with the first limitation which was only 2M (I think it was about 6 years ago) ,and because my mailbox was full I had to empty it and lost lots of my ferifere E-Mails ,then I can have enough appreciation for it.
Technology is running as fast as possible and following it,needs much more energy than before !!!
