After 2 Days Off

This Ashoora passed again. A friend said "I don't know why every Moharrams comes so fast but every Nourooz needs 1 long year to come." It's somehow true, I think maybe you can find the reason in your connections to those ceremonies, the less you like it the sooner it comes.

Any way,some of my colleagues came to work these too holidays, they were supposed to work on a project which I hope for it's success but I'm not sure about it. 2 days before when the boss asked us to come ,most of us denied and said we won't come and some of us agreed. It's interesting that those ones who agreed , of course came and some of those who disagreed came too!!! Now in group-decisions we should take more care of counting on everyones.

Ashoora

Today morning the face of the city was somehow funny. You could see lots of moaning signs everywhere , even black flags and car glasses are full of the signs of this ceremony which is called the reminder of Hossein but I call it a blame reason for people to gather together and feel this unity feeling. Because they don't have any other occasions to do so ,so each year this Moharram festivals becomes bigger and bigger. Now the costumes have been changed and even that nice traditional music has been disappeared by new pop ones.
I think in small cities ,this ceremony hasn't been manipulated yet but in Tehran the face is somehow sad. Lots of people who do lots of crimes all the year ,try to cry for Hossein and believe that they will be forgiven, even they give lots of free dinner and lunch to miserable ones to guarantee their forgiveness but the much I try to believe this lie the less I succeed, maybe there is something else in participating at this festival which I can't understand.
Anyway, whatever the reason is, the face of looking at 5 camels at the middle of Tajrish square today morning was a funny picture :D

IELTS

For those who want to participate in IELTS exam in Iran:
After all the sanctions which are going to be done for Iran ,from the start of 2007 The British Council ,which was responsible for this international English exam, has closed its office in Tehran and now the government is responsible for it. Those long queue in Shariati Avenue has been moved to Shahrake Gharb but with a tiny difference, this time you don't need to stay in the queue ,the more powerful you are the better turn you will get. It's the logical attitude of being here.

Week-9

Hi honey. We've entered the week-9, your improvements are so rapidly,do you know how big you are now? You are about 1 inch and almost 1 gram weighted. Your movements are becoming very energized (although I can't feel them now) and almost all your organs have been shaped, but still your sex is a mystery.
If you want to know about me I'm as good as a fiddle. Most of the times I forget your existence in myself and then just thinking about you reminds me to still more relax and quiet. Up to now you have been a very good child, I hope you continue the same.
Yesterday your uncle left us, I think next time he comes Iran he can see your magical face, his impatience shows his avarice for that day.
During these days all the families have called me and asked for anything I desire, although I didn't asked them anything but their actions bring me kind of admiration feeling toward them, but your aunt haven't called me yet. It made me so sad but your feeling make me forget all these bad things about adults life. I just want to talk with you , I now it's too soon to bother your wise thoughts about these matters.
...And about your father, he's become veryyyy kind and does everything I ask.Inspite of all his laughings to my size changing , obviously he is counting the days for your come, even we have selected your name and his callings you by that name is so funny.
As always I say, Keep resting and try to eat as much as you can, especially don't miss those milk and ,meats I send. ... bye for now dear.

Again Sanctions

Last night I was really sleepy but I stayed awake to see Mr. Presidents speech about the current treats and sanctions and inflation. His answers were really amazing, he denied all the problems and talked to Iranians as sheep. His logic and the way of expressing it shows how poor we are. People made a big mistake by not participating in the presidential election and now they see the reflects. Beside all this disastrous inflation and limitations in liberty now the treats of sanctions which will be held in less than 2 weeks and rumors of banning Iran from selling oil in the future are going more serious. While Saudi Arabia has promised to cover all oil demands during Iran sanction then the problems become more tangible.
Today morning while Jacksaran was leaving us, we all had an acrid joke about probability of not be able of meeting him in near future. It's said that maybe the flights will be banned from traveling abroad countries.
These are all rumors but pray God for not turning to truth.

Mehrdad in Shiraz.

In these cold weather of Tehran ,having a warm home which will open it's hugs at your entrance is a great gift. Try to find yours ;)

Weather Pollution

The story of the city we are living in is going to become a real disaster.
I read in the newspapers that the average age of Tehran people has reduced 5 years as a result of this damn air pollution. It says the amount of particles in the weather we breath, is equal to smoking 5 cigarettes a day !!! So all my friends can smoke in front of me from now :D because there is no benefit in banning them.
Some years ago when we got up and look outside from the window, when we saw Tehran mountains in a cloud of dust and dirtiness then we said how dirty weather is, but nowadays that dust is the symbol of being able to breath and the measurement of air pollution is ability to see Milad Tower by unarmed eyes. How soon we got used to the new situations without bothering ourselves why they had happened.

Bet

Mehrdad & I have a good friend who lost a bet last year during Germany World cup matches. It wasn't a serious contract but something just to remind him and laugh for his delays in the payment. Last Thursday we were invited to their house for dinner and all the bet was fulfilled. Now the hope of getting it is finished !!! I think people are really living with their hopes and dreams, now we should think about another deliciouses future :D

Week-8

Hi dear, how are you? your coming news has made me lazy in updating my blog!!! Don't laugh at me ,it's not good at all, I'll practice to be more lively here.
I know this week you become very tired. Please accept my apology, I'll promise it won't be repeated again. But at least you visited your whole family in Mashhad, their reactions while hearing your news was really funny, especially those ones who didn't believe my news :D We didn't visit Imam Reza's holy shrine. There are lots of sick people rounding there, I frightened if I communicate cold so I didn't go. In return when our flight had 6 hours delay , your cousins said it's because you haven't gone there. See how small they think. On their estimations God has got his revenge from us, I just nodded and laugh inside.
Hey honey, you are making me really hungry. Even your dad is surprised by the amount of food I daily eat. But if I want to be honest ,one of the good points of being pregnant is your permision to eat as much as you wish with out any care to your size changings.
I talked about your dad, remembered something. Last night when he came home he saw his new shoes which were parked infront of the door are stolen!!! His face was really funny and I laughed as much as I could. He loves those shoes very much but it seems that Mr.burglar loves them much more.
Life is going on and we all are waiting to see your angel face, keep quiet and rest.

Week-7

Hello Honey, You are getting bigger I think because your symptoms are becoming more visible. First of all a few nights ago when we were in a party everyone guessed what's going on by mu face expressions, it shows I've changed?!!! And then bad feelings I had these days, a friend says it's one of the sweetest part of it or at least try to pretend so but I haven't adapted to it yet... And my trousers are getting tighter ,but don't worry, your mummy has made some easier ones. Your uncle came today, he had brought first pieces of your future clothes, I know you don't know what a cloth is but you will learn ;)... and biologically do you know how much improvements you had previous week? Your nerves are becoming better and your heart is shaping, you are finding your personality and are just asking me to send you milk and Vitamins and Protein, sometimes I wonder how gluttonous you are but then when I hear your voice asking for food I gulp anything I can even by force. Keep resting and try to eat as much as you can, don't miss anything and wait for my come back next week.

Come Back

These two days I didn't write in my blog lots of new things happened. You can guess why didn't I round whereabouts. The sick feelings don't let you think about even your weblog.
Yesterday I had an exam in my office and I didn't fell OK at all. My kind friends generously helped and give me all the answers, It turned to one of the sweetest exams I've ever had...
Tomorrow Mr. Jacksaran (my younger brother) is coming to Iran after almost 3 years. When he left us he was a teenager who was so depressed and alone and we are were wondering about his future, but now he has turned to a handsome man who has high scores in university and is the head of their restrict football team and finally he is going to be an uncle. These inevitable changes make life adventurous and sweet, Do you agree? !!!!

Postponing

We have a colleague at work who aimed to do a project by today. It was planned almost 2 months ago and he supposed to organize his time by this time. I clearly remember his first of project, he came to us and asked about his requirements. Every one guided him as much as he can ,then we thought he will do our advises and story is finished. But surprisingly yesterday( one day before his project dead time) he came and asked about the requirements!!! It means that during this 2 months he was away and now only less than 24 hours left. He was nervous and just asking everyone to help. The image was so funny, even though he promised to stay at work all night to complete it but i doubt about a clear success. I think today he should accept the blame and try to work more seriously.
His behavior somehow exists in all of us. When we have enough time we delay it for another time and when we reached to the end then try to do it as fast as possible, it means just a work done but not accurate and well-done.

Week-6

Today was a complete tranquil day. I’m just finding out new information about her and friends advices are really interesting and most of the times some how funny, but I pretend that I’m listening all by my heart. Any way one of them was the prohibition of dying hairs during this time and food prescriptions are killing me. The amount of food they said I should eat daily is somehow my 3 days routine diary. I think I’ll gain weight 3 times more than usual.
Just the news of her existence in the future has affected all our behaviors. How fantastic it is!!!

A Malaysian bride and groom. They are not comparable with Iranians, Believe me !!!

A Day At Home

Yesterday I didn't go to work. I feel a day rest is useful and also there were lots of unstudied lessons. The night before I planned to take rest, study lessons, clean the house and cook meal but as far as you know me I hate cleaning , so I did all perfectly except house cleaning. Poor Mehrdad! he should help me in this case or run away from home out of dust and ...

So So

When you expect someone very much and then the reverse is proven, the depression feeling is so hurting. It means you have been wrong all these times, it's not actually the prove of his disabilities but it's the prove of your wrong selection , I'm talking in a complicated language I think. Don't mess your mind.

By the way, do anyone have any information about the possibility if hurting an infant by monitor ratios?! I appreciate all your datas.

Mother Expecting

I don't know if I should be honest in this situation or not. It's a custom in my country that if someone gets pregnant then she should be shied and hides it until that day everything become obvious by her size changing. This method is somehow the symbol of a good and gentle woman, but I don't know why I'm not feeling so. I want to say my news with loud voice to let my friends be partner in my joyful moments, in those moments which means I'm waiting for an angel by God who is coming to blow the spirit of life and kindness again in my life, in the moments of sitting and talking with her existence feeling, in the moments of eating as much as you can for her, in the moments of sensing her movements in you, in the moments of standing lots of pain for her ,... and at last in the moments of changing to a MOTHER. Yes ,I'll be a mother in I think less than 8 months.
Of course during these hard days of waiting to see her wonderful face life is going on, so I'm writing my blog as usual with the subjects you know better than me.But I'll add a new title which is expressing my feelings in these 37 weeks of her life in my body. Maybe after 20 years when she comes and read my blog , it's interesting to imagine what feelings I had before her birth.

Sheeps in Streets

It's a custom in Iran that those people who can afford their life or have done some vows sacrifice a sheep in Ghorban Eid. In Tehran there are lots of people who wanted to do so yesterday but imagine in this city full of houses and cars how can you find a ship!!! Yesterday the face of city was really funny .You can see lots of specious of sheeps rounding in the city and eating water and grass in the parks. I saw one of these scenes in Valiasr Avenue and I really regret why I haven't had any camera available. Poor those sheeps!
