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
