Photoblog-7


Penguins could be symbol of different thing. You may look at one of them and remember the cold land of North Pole, but I have a friend who is living in Germany and her daughter, always after seeing a penguin, remembers women of Iran who are wearing Chador (an Islamic cloth for hiding women shape and unfortunately it's in black, so it seems like a penguin is walking, if you are looking at one of them from her behind.)

Morning laugh

In the mornings when we come to work, there is a very bad traffic jam. It makes minutes very valuable because 5 minutes delay makes about 20 minutes out of time to reach work.
Today I was in the taxi when we saw the car is broken dawn at the middle of very crowded highway. Poor driver tried to fix the problem but it was more than he imagined, so he apologized us and asked to get off and find some other cars. We were 3 women and 1 man. The driver asked that man to help him to push the car to the side of highway, but he didn't respond. Every car were horning and it was a bad situation so again the driver asked that man to stop other cars to help him lead the car to the side but again he didn't accept. I was shocked and angry of that man. I went and help him by stopping other cars to lead his car to the side. Then I went and took another taxi but that man sit behind me. When we wanted to get off, his coat was between the door and he didn't noticed, so it was torn. It was very funny seeing that man with a distorted coat wondering what to do in the middle of street.
I think if he had helped that driver he wouldn't face such a problem :D

Possibility of war

These days, times and again, I’ve heard about the possibility of USA attacks to the nuclear sites of Iran in the near future and it’s awkward to know that everybody are inviting their friends to store cans of food for the hard coming future.
I hope all of this news is rumors but due to the political situation of Iran and the time of USA attack to Iraq 3 years ago, which was about Norouz, it makes me frightened about the future.
We Iranian people have the bad experience of Iran-Iraq war. Almost after 17 years of finishing that war we can still see the remains of it which are not repairable, so a new war for no result is very stupid and deteriorating for poor people who never benefits of any kind of war.

Bird Flu !!!

After mad cow disease which had a serious affect on the economy of European and Fareast countries now we see another uncontrollable epidemic which is spreading all over the world and is called Bird Flu.
Up to now less than 100 people were killed out of it and if the governments don't manage hard restrictions for local birds it can even become more dangerous.
We have a relative who like chickens alot and every time take care of some of them but not in a wide area, as it should be, but in her house roof!!! Of course it's not healthy but they don't have enough room for chickens so she is doing it.
Yesterday she phoned and she was crying. She said one of the neighbors had come and warned her if she doesn't kill the birds she will call the health center and now she was getting depressed. From her point of view it was hard to get rid of those lovely birds but due to the new condition there isn't any other way out. I talked her and tried to convince her doing it, she admitted she should do it, but at the end I was thinking why we turned our lives so difficult which even we can't turn back to the past.

A reminder

I have a good friend who is very honorable for me, whenever he is depressed or angry, from the first glance; I feel it and regret why I can't help him taking over his problems. Till now, passing the time was the cure. Maybe it makes him feel alone and then coming back to the society makes him feel better; or maybe it's the way we think about it and it has other reasons.
But whatever the reason is, and how depressed he becomes out of his problems, I want to make him sure that his friends are always thinking about him and all the times he can count on their helps.
No one is alone in this big world; you should try to find your mate.
