Yesterday

Yesterday was important for me. I did 3 special tasks which need enough courage to be done. I'm sure I'll finish them properly but still am confused how I geared 3 of them at the same time !!!

Freedom


 


I've let my mind free, now I can feel the infinity of boarders. Everything could be unlimited even your kindness or even patience.
This photo has been taken in Hegmatane Hill.Thousand years ago a powerful and wise generation were rulling Iran from that hill.
Rozana is perfect here I think...

Cultures

Some days ago Mehrdad and I were reading a book written about the ways of training girls and boys by an Indian author. Book is full of black and white paintings so Rozana thought it's her painting book and coloured lots of them !!!!
In the part of girls it was written : "Your daughter remains always your daughter but your son is only your son up to his marriage."
We both think it's true and it was interesting that this type of thinking is same in Iranian and Indian cultures.

P.S. My Different Reader has decided not coming and saying offensive words here. I think it's improvement for her. Maybe she is curing.

Red , Nice, Frank





One of the most beautiful places of Iran, 200km away of Tehran.

News

Every morning the first page I visit in the internet is Balatarin.com . It's natural when you don't switch to national TV's at all and want to know recent news come here.
Lots of things happened yesterday : Dariush Asadzadeh's death, End of Cannes Festival and Iranian film awarded,Start of Khordad's protests here and there, ...
But one of these regular news was more interesting: Half of Iran university students are studying in five courses:Computer engineering, Electronic engineering, Management, Accounting and Law. Lots of other engineering fields and also courses related to health or research or art are not concluded here !!! I can't look at these article as a very ordinary one. It means more than a half of our students choose their course just by the reputation and for taking the degree, no need of self-interests or family backgrounds are felt. It doesn't sound good I think.

Childhood

Every reaction of human beings has great footprints in people's childhood.
I think we've heard this sentence at least more than once. Today I was talking with a friend, our conversation was about ways of training our children as future members of this society and concluded the above sentence again.
If you're living in Iran and are same age as me (25 ~ 35) then certainly you remember the only children program which was broad casted in channel 1 at 5pm and lasts only one hour. I remember it was the most precious time of my day, sitting and watching Pesare Shoja, Banel, Dr. Ernest's Family ... during this one hour of our happiness we had 15 minutes for saying Aazan and prayers which causes our program be cut. Even now I can feel that hateress I had to Aazan. Now it's not weired if you don't find anyone who still says his prayers. We are the generation who was tortured by Islamic tools.
Is Rozana going to the same way here in this country?!

Sweet Friday

Today was a hot Friday which I heard the magic sentence of " Mama, I love you." from Rozana's mouth more than ten times !!! Although I somehow shouted at her for doing some mistakes and didn't do any extraordinary tasks she came and kissed me times and times.

I wrote these sentences here to show her, when she is reading these line maybe more than 10 years from now, how much positive energy she'd given me by saying a simple sentence and don't forget saying it again.
Thank you my little princess.

Book Fair

Yesterday I went to International Book Fair of Tehran with a friend and didn't buy anything except some books for Rozana!
It was crowded, hot, dirty and with no properiate guideline for the names of printers. Even Mehrdad who went there after us and wondered about 4 hours came back with almost nothing except children's book !!!
It's painful that our children are not able to read books of DolatAbadi, Behnood, Forugh,Golshiri ,Shamloo, .... and lots of more geniuses who are trying to make us think. I'm sorry for our children and am trying to collect a precious collection of all these books in order to help Rozana for remembering her country in the future.(I think they are introducing their desired country to our children)

Beside it, sitting at a corner of the fair and eating sandwiches with my friend gave me a very pleasant feeling. I think those who were used to go to the fair and are not living in Iran can understand what I'm talking about ;)
My dearest Attiehjoon, Live with your memories of the fair, there is nothing left only a Bal masqué of people who pretends are working in the culture field. Everything was like a circus ...

The Namesake

Some nights ago I finished reading a novel by Jhumpa Lahiri named "the Namesake". This is her fifth book and first novel printed in 2003 and is about an Indian man who has the name of a Russian author, Gogol, and is mistaken so decided to change his name and ...
I'd read some other books of Jhumpa Lahiri and each time I read a book I find how much similarities are in Indian and Iranian cultures.

Rozana



I should write about her new improvements again :)
It's about 14 days that I stopped wearing her diaper. It was easier than what I estimated and took about 4 days for her to control it. Her obsession in being clean makes us stay about 10 minutes each time in toilet and imagine how time-consuming is repeating this job each 30 minutes. We bought lots of gifts for her and at first days she was confused that each time she goes to the toilet she should get gifts !!!
Directly after this controlling she started sleeping in her own room. It was like become an adult in a week. Now she brushes her teeth after the toilet,says goodbye, gives us a kiss and goes to her bed automatically at 10 every night.
Only parents of children in the age of 2~3 understand these lines.
She reads lots of songs learnt in the kindergarten. these songs will be very funny when she says them not properly. Even last night although she was sick she read a song about teachers for her aunt( in her language Moalem is Molalem, so imagine how funny it is!).
She is able to turn the TV and DVD player on and put her desired cartoons in it. She orders nuts during watching them, she paints her imaginations and describes them for us, she talks on phone with Mehrdad and before giving him a kiss orders something to buy,She gives carrots to the rabbits living nearby, she runs to kiss each animal she saw even if it is an angry dog, She has three aunts: Khale-Sanaz, Khale-Hamide and Khale-Fattaneh(of course her real Khale is called Attiejoon).
After writing these lines again I've missed her!!!!!!(We were with each other till 50 minutes ago).

Lady


Last night we were invited to the birthday party of a woman who is very precious for us. She is 47, wife of one a the last election protesters, wife of a prisoner, wife of a sick man , mother of two daughters, a woman with PHD in history studies, a GREEN woman, ...
Like most of the times words are unable to express all my feelings for her.
We were all there to show our unity, even if some unwise people try to suffer them or make obstacles. Even if she asks God times and again for having another chance of visiting her family, even if ...

When I compare her with some other people around I regret. She announces her idea with a loud voice and accepts all results, but some people hides behind their real faces and never ever accepts to apologise.

P.S. I said before only comments with real name of the author will be published. Please try to learn not writing with the name of others. It's a psychological problem which should be cured otherwise would cause into not amendable behaviour disorders. I'm sorry for you my Different Reader :)

Mehrdad's BDay

Just imagine while I had to prepare dinner after coming back from work at 4PM I was FORCED to make all those 30 balloons !!!!!!!!!!!
Even candles were put on the cake by Rozana :) She was very happy



P.S. What's your reaction when you go to meet a friend and understand she has named her new bron kitten ,Rozana, because it has large eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
