Campagn Against ...

These days again we see encounter of police and women in the streets as a plan called "Campaign against immodest looking people" ( I don't know if I've interpreted it correctly or not.If you have better idea about it plz share.)This wave is started at the beginning of every summers and we've got used to it in Iran ,but this year the physical contacts have become greater and the way of their leadings is very offensive.
Some days ago I bought a new Manto in a light color, but my mom said you should be careful in wearing it outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've seen these actions at my workplace before, at those days I was pointed out to wear taller and darker cloths. I took it as the rule of my workplace which I've accepted to be there ,but now the situation is totally different. They are shouting at those women and men who most of them are living among us without any intention of spreading corruption in the society. They only want to wear more colorful cloths and more fashioned hairstyles which is out of their age and absorption to beauty beings,but they are called as criminals who are messing society. From this point of view most of us are criminals,because we wear light colors, because we go to coffee shops with our friends, because we don't wear socks, because we work with men, because our hair are out of our veils and because we want to be seen between the others.
I've passed my teenage and can overlook of all these shows and stay as I was before but do you think it'll be true for that young girl who have been hit in front of people at a public square and now feel so disappointed who is able to do anything as protest?!!! We ,ourself, are the capitals of the society who are being wasted.

Sad Morning

I think after my pregnancy I've become so sensible .Before that I didn't become sad of some actions but now those feelings have become more energized in staying in my mind. Of course I banish them as much as possible but I know some of them will remain in my mind for maybe years.
You don't know what had happened so I'm just confusing you .This is the case:If you weren't seen by a close friend while all others were seen and they are not as close as you to her(or maybe in my estimation this situation were true) then won't you be sad?!!!
Thank God that I have my beloved blog where I can some how express myself to avoid these negative feelings. As a friend who always says:" این نیز بگذرد.چون بگذرد غمی نیست."

Lool

Previous days were so interesting and full of reminders of Mehrdad's birthday. Between all of them I preferred two. One was for my brother who congratulates him at middle of the night and at the end of his message advised him to wake up earlier for having a healthier body and the next one was his father's who remembered paying his birthday gift at the start of the new year and now was surprised why it's his birthday again :D

Week-22

Hi honey, again another Thursday and the day of our cyber talks...
How are you dear? This week I felt you less than the other one,are you OK? You should be very active but why I couldn't taste it?!!! Any how, in an optimistic view I see you while keep on resting and feeding :D
You are about 425gr and 27.5cm up to now. But you know how much overweight I've gained? Surely you can't even imagine about 9kg . Every one says my improvements are faster than yours. We have a nice story in our cultural myths by great Ferdowsi. In that novel, a woman who was working for a handsome king started carrying a calf for a while everyday, gradually that calf turned to a caw but because that woman had practiced it daily,her body got used to it ,and was able to carry a big cow at the end. At the last of this story she became the wife of that king... Now my story is some how like her, it's totally out of the wisdom of kind God that makes mother body ready for carrying this much overweight. Before you,I even didn't carry 2 pockets of fruits simultaneously but now it's like carrying 4 of them. Now I can confess that the procedure of creating a baby is a miracle,a very cute preplanned activity which always results in the best way.
At my work place ,most of my colleagues should stay till long night. We are in critical conditions which should be compensated in a short time otherwise... but because of you, I go home like before .Fattaneh says you must be a very lucky person who brings me luck even before your come. I think she is right!!!
And your father,today is his birthday but I haven't bought anything yet. I even ignored about it in the morning and feel that he is upset .He deserves it,you know what I mean :D But don't worry,we'll go to buy his gift in the afternoon.
Your uncles and Atti jun, they are as good as before and have made us so busy with their new suggestion. Honey ,I want to make you sure that whatever our decision will be,it's only because of you and your happiness in the future.Now we are only negotiating and final decision will be made so soon.
stay active and try talking with me, you can't understand my joy while feeling you. Kisses for you baby.

Accident

Today morning Mehrdad & I went to a Tabbakhi for eating breakfast. In that immediate morning streets are not crowded and also today because of the nice raining everything looks different. But suddenly a bad accident sounds and I saw a poor passenger who was hit by a car and throne to the other side of the street. I didn't go for looking at the accident but all the people in the Tabbakhi went and when they came back most of them were eating their meal reluctantly.
I think it just took 10 minutes for police come and took that poor guy to the hospital but that bad memory will stay in all witnesses memories all the day.
If that driver was a little more careful and had driven in a slower speed then lots of good things would happen !!!

Fuel Intelligent Cards

I know this title is some how funny, but it's the direct interpretation of the name of smart cards which are given to people these days for controlling the consumption. This project will be started in 20 days but about 2000000 people haven't got their cards yet. By using them ,each car should use only 3 liter per day and for more consume should pay about 4 times more.
All these managements sound good but up to now,i don't know about the way of calculating money with these cards,because they are not linked to ATM cards of the customers and ...
Do you have any idea about the way of paying money?!!! Do you think this project will start in 20 days?!!!!!!

Strike-2 & End & Never Strike Again

What do you think about that calm disagreement yesterday run at my workplace?!!! A client of director manager came and just talk with the staff with no hope for the future and also in a hidden language threatened them to not do it again.
Although all the staff have decided to wait until Wednesday and then don't come to work from Thursday , but the total logic behind this movement is disappointing. I think I'm nagging like that old man in Galliver cartoon who always says "I know it's not working." But really we should solve our problems not here at this place but we should think about the country we are living in.
A friend has written in my last comment that my innocent infant should get used to live in such environments, but I think reverse. I think if I was a good mother then I'd decide to give his birth somewhere else rather than IRAN!!!!

Strike-1

Today we got our monthly salaries but surprisingly, although we are at the first of the new year and we should see our annually increases in the income, we saw a noticeable decrease in our payments.Everyone says it's the advantages of new government who is wasting oil and other exporting products in nuclear and diplomatic conflicts and the symbols of UN verdict will be more visible in near future....
Anyhow, for the first time in my working experience, all the staff stopped working and went to the director manager office to show their anger and ask for some attempts to solve this problem. Now I'm the only one who is sited in her room and is typing( if I wasn't in especial situation ,undoubtfully I'd go too). In my next post I'll write the result of this unmanaged but inevitable strike, but whatever the result is, at least it could make that fool director manager to have a little think before deciding big decisions about our salaries.

Earth Day

Tomorrow in the international calendar is called "Earth Day". It's a reminder for humans who are living on this lovely planet to keep their eyes on it and don't let some profiteer to destroy our wealth.
In Iran everything are in reversed position. for example car producing factories are forced to produce Bi-Fuel cars by July 2007 not for health and earth care causes but because of some financial benefits and also using of gases instead of expensive petroleum. I mean every country look at this subject from financial points of view not earth benefits points, so it could be the reason of failure in lots of earth health plan. What do you think?

Week-21

Hi honey. Kisssss and hugggggggggs. How are you? Do you remember my advices or you are just busy turning there and don't have time for eating food?
From this week your ears are completing. It means that you are able to hear your surrounded voices. Of course the first ones are mine and then all external shocks or musics or talks. which kind of music do you like? I'll listen to whatever you desire :D I ,personally, prefer classic and some traditional ones, even sometimes listening to holy Quran is useful. but I'm not sure about your habit, so signal me when you like or dislike the music. Now you are about 370gr. Last week in the news an infant was shown which had only 400gr while birthing. It gives me a total expression of your face there. It was so tiny and vulnerable but don't worry, I'll take good care of you until the moment I become sure you are strong enough for entering our world ,then I'll let you come out :D
We are all good here and waiting for you. Last Friday your daddy kept asking me to come and have a walk for some minutes, it shows his concerns about our health and it was so precious for me.
Everyone are curious about your health and satisfaction, so please eat as much as you can and have enough rest.
Kisss and bye honey.

Living In Silence

These days, because of my especial situation , I came home earlier and after taking a shower and thinking for a while then I sleep for 2 or 3 hours. During these moments I turn off my mobile phone and also home phone . It gives me a feeling of disconnection to all modern technologies and then just relax and think about my day and the rest and also talking with my baby. It's wonderful that the effect of this period is much more than my expectations which lack of it in one day causes me a whole tiredness and dizzy.

Today a friend sent me some poems of Dalai Lama in 2006.In one of the sentences he said: "Spend some time alone everyday." It was very nice, especially when you test this formula then you'll find what I say. So try to "Spend some time alone every day."

Like Everycity Except Tehran

Some days ago a German journalist in a cultural survey ,came to Iran and wrote his experiences in the most public German newspaper.
We have lots of friends who has taken German spouses, but because of bad rumors behind Iran security and culture ,every year should come to visit their parents alone. Their spouses never believe them that nobody will arrest you because of your hairs or nationality.These are some interesting parts of his experience, very short and to the point, very short and very true, very short and very simple... :
You can easily find the best brands of beer or vodka, although they are forbidden but it must be some political connections that makes preparing them so available.
the appearance of the apartments are totally different in north and south, you can rent a big house in the south by the price of just 1m^2 of the north apartments.
Finding a mosque is not an easy task in this Islamic city, it's also true for finding a Molla and those women who wear Chador. People believes to God are vanishing by days. They are only thinking about earning more money.
SMS's environment reflects the public opinion about the news, most of them are about the president and nuclear right.Everyone knows that a probable war is near but no one even think about it.In this young city ,this level of disappointment is so rare...

He has written lots of true facts which are not here ,but it was interesting for me that by just a look to this city you can find these facts, maybe those foreigners who read my blog and have been in Tehran for a while find what I say!!!

Week-20

Hi Baby, how are you? We have passed 50% of your first life in my body, Congratulations!!!!! Up to now it was so easy and I know you are good enough to make the rest as comfortable as before.
Your improvements are due to the progress. You are 283gr and 25cm and are developing your little organs. You only ask me about milk and protein and I add fresh vegetables and salad to make them more delicious :D Now I can feel you there,especially those moments when I'm fresh and thinking about you. It's interesting that when I become tired ,you keep completely quiet and it becomes hard to remember that you are there. It's a fair law, I should be relax to enjoy feeling you so I'll try!!!
Your father... what should I write about him this week? Sometimes he is so kind and sometimes he totally forgets that is becoming a father, I'm sure it's because he can't feel you :)) Last week I itch for AshReshte and your mommy was in Mashad. He went out searching for it and after 3 hours came back home with a delicious bowl of it. So it's a good news for you,he will do anything you ask him ;)
Your mommy has bought some toys. They are very nice, I was playing with them until she asked me to keep them safe and clean,they are for you not me :D
Everything is becoming ready for your entrance. So just save your time and take care of yourself.

Smart Dust

...You go to a hospital and implant a vaccine, after this time regularly certain information about your breath health are sent to your doctor and he can predict the time of your breath cancer and cure it.
...In the middle night one silent aeroplane flyes over the war land and sprinkle a thick dust all over the land. From next morning all the tiny movements of the soldiers are sent to you and you can get the control of the war.

These are not some pictures of scientific-fiction Hollywood films ,but they are the usages of the new technology which is called Smart Dust. With the advent of these intelligent articles you have lots of micro sensors which are able to sense temperature,humidity, pressure, light intensity, smell, speed, acceleration, direction, height, vibration and lots of more signals which could be useful about the training object.
Maybe in less than 10 years using Smart Dust will be public and then we can benefide another feature of modern technology.
I just liked reading this text so I translate some parts of it from Zigzag magazine for you.

Working Women

With the start of the new baby news, I'm hearing some whispers about those kind mothers who are staying at homes for training their children and just for the sake of them have closed their eyes on any job offer. Maybe because the echo of these sounds are repeating in my mind so I decided to extend this subject in one of my posts:
We are living in Iran, in our country the amount of women who are accepted in the universities are more than men but surprisingly job opportunities are always available for men. In my country and the society around me, most of the women are educated but they are called doctor or engineer only at work. I mean by going to work they can remember their action in the society. When they are at home they should only be good wifes, mothers, house keepers,shoppers ,cleaners etc. in short they should be only members of the family who are trying all the day to make a comfortable night for their husbands. Don't blame me, it's run all over I look, in some cases in a moderner manner and in most cases in that cruel traditional way.
Now I'm going to have a baby. If I go to work then it'll be harder for him to adopt with this circumstance but if I stay home then he would be sure that there is always someone available to protect him. I think up to 4 or 5 years it goes in a right way but what will happen next. That little angel has grown up and should go to kindergarten and school. Gradually he separates himself from family and walk into society.
Now imagine the situation of that nice mother, she is old and everyone has forgotten that she was a successful engineer or doctor or ... one day and still she should do house works.
So definitely I think women should work, with or without children. I'm sure one day my son will read these lines and I hope he understand me as a body who is giving him birth and is rightful to be alive.

Hail

These days with this unstable spring weather ,you can see lots of funny views in the street. Today morning when I was coming to work ,suddenly it started hailing. At this time I saw a man who was bold and with his hand was trying to protect his unhaired head. It was so funny :))
Don't blame me , I know maybe this situation one day will occur for me but at least I can make myself happy by it ;)

British Stories

After releasing the British sailors in that funny show of kindness from Mr. president, now I read in the newspapers that those sailors have got the permission to sell their story and experience of being arrested in Iran. It's regretful that this unwise show has resulted in Britain and it's soldiers benefits and now after 4 days lots of crisis and rumors about the bad behavior of the Iranians are all over the world.
When the designer of kindness show is such a ridiculous man then these results are very predictable.

Mohsen Namjoo

Do you know Mohsen Namjoo? He is a singer and guitarist which has made a new style of reading persian songs. I listened his acts and liked it , you can check them here in Persian and english both:

Week -19

Hi honey,how are you? I won't ask where are you because I can completely feel your position :)
We are all good,breathing in nice spring weather beside my lovely friends and family is a tranquil experience for making myself ready for your birth. In developed countries from this point of pregnancy specially training classes are held for new expecting mothers to learn them the technicals of walking, sleeping ,breathing and at last birthing their angel but here in Iran none of these are available. Only that poor mother should count on her mother and other old family members who have had this experience. But I can't just wait to see what happen in the future. Even the biologic story of your birth and weekly improvements is very interesting for me, so don't worry, I'll search daily information in the internet to have easier negotiations with you.
... And this week's improvements, you are about 230 gr and almost 20cm. Your around water makes it easier for you to jump and crump ( :D ) and also the base of your permanent teeth , beside your milk ones, are shaped in this week, so I think you are waiting for only milk :))
Farbod is coming to our world 1 months sooner than you. I think you will be good friends in the future( It's funny that I've thought about even your possible friends).
Last night I was talking with my uncle, he was asking me to not forgetting you even for a second and keep calm at work and rest as much as I can, now I advise all these to you :) and never forget that you should try your best to be the best one, all these depends on you so keep on.

Sailors Released

Last afternoon in a very new show all the world watched Iran president's speech and heard his announcement about releasing those 15 British sailors who were arrested 2 weeks ago about their prohibited entrance into national Iran waters.
As it said, no body ,even their families ,didn't know anything about it and it was very shocking. Mr president related his adventurous act to prophet Mohammad(PBUH) and wanted to correct British nation and government !!!
All these arguments were after Britain announcement about having 48 critical hours in front and exactly before this (dead time maybe) they were released.
It was assumed that if Iran continues arresting them then this junction would be changed to another hostage plan like closing USA embassy in 1981. You can imagine the cost of this attempt for us and interestingly ,directly after this news all the international oil and gold prices reduced...
We are living in Iran, hearing daily unexpected news are so natural, am I right?

A Story

Avesina had a pupil who always says he is in deep believe of him and will obey him as a messenger. In a cold winter dawn, Avesina waked up and awakened him and then asked him to go to the river and bring some water. It was so dark and cold so he said he will go later.
Avesina replied him that a messenger is someone who his orders for saying prayers and worshiping God is obeyed even after 1400 years , how can I be your messenger while during my lifespan you don't obey me?!!!

Sent Outs(Ekhrajiha)

Some days ago I watched Ekhrajiha after almost 1 hour waiting for buying the tickets. Up to now from financial points of view ,it's been successful to stand in the top list of Iran film history. Just this fact is enough for any body to be curious for watching it.
By this overview I went to the cinema and so disappointed I came out. It's the story of some illiterate and impolite band who go to the war just for the sake of a daughter. Up to here you can see only some lime jokes which are not popular even in ordinary talks and then the bad rule of the story which only wants to say those ones who participated in the war have become purified. No matter how true this way of thinking is ,the bad way of telling the story and the soon conclusion are two negative points of the film. Also I can't forget the director, who was an obstacle while reformist attempts were beginning in Iran.
I'm sure our people go to the cinemas and watch it only because they need to have some fun between all these sad news and want to forget their problems even for only 2 hours but no one can forget the bad literature and behavior of the director and his fans.
Just compare it with Marmulak who was very better than this one and was banned because of the opposite ideas in the government. Now it's become more clear that why this film with all governmental supports have become in the first top list!!!
