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? ;)

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?
