Forced

Sometimes you should be forced to do some tasks which were available in your task queue for a long time. I mean we know they are there but always give them a non-important flag so when The Day come we see they are still there.
It's happening at my workplace. Because next week an important person is coming to visit the site everybody are running, they knew they should do these tasks before but the news of his visit forced them to hurry up. I'm one of those runners but sometimes prefer to sit back and laugh at all these efforts :D

Friends

I was reading an article about 3-year old children. It was saying that this is the edge of making real friendship. They understand who is more similar to their character so try to talk or play with them.
This photo was taken in Bistoon near Kermanshah and this is a Kord girl who was very close to Rozana in that 3~4 hours.

My Room

Last night I slept in my mama's house. Mehrdad wasn't in Tehran and Rozana slept on my mama's bedroom so after 7 years of being with Mehrdad and 3 years of being with Rozana I slept lonely in the room I passed all my high school and university. Even I was thinking about my brown desk which was at a corner and now is disappeared.
I had great moments there. I was happy of having my own room. I studied for konkoor there and was happy of the result. I was thinking about Mehrdad at first years of acquaintance, even now I can remember the first time he entered there ... then years passed and Rozana was in my arms. Again I was there for about 20 days, her infant smell were full in every place and I was baring my pains with my memories...
I dreamt lots of these nice moments last night and am very happy today.

Swimming Pool

Yesterday was the first day Rozana entered a swimming pool. The trainer of the pool said she should be at least 4 years old to learn swimming but her laughs and happiness while playing with other children was very interesting. Of course my mom helped us for being there.

P.S. Today and tomorrow are the longest days of the year in Iran. It means we can use sun beams more than ever. In ancient Iran, people were used to celebrate these days. They believe that we should be thankful of God for having this much gifts, but nowadays we only celebrate Yalda as the longest night of the year. I like remembering both !

Sanction

Now the company I'm working in is in international sanctions. We were almost the only financial institute in Iran who was able to deal with foreigners. Now we should see effects of these so-called arguments against nuclear power right.

Lalejin

These pictures were taken in Lalejin, a small city near Hamedan, which is famous for handicrafts you can see samples here.

D i c t a t o r s h i p

I was reading a mail about a book by Sperber called "Zur Analyse der Tyrannis" ( In German means D i c t a t o r s h i p),which has been published about 25 years ago in Iran and is about behaviour of people who thinks are qualified enough to rule all the people. There is a nice sentence there: " All people are potential to be brave except d i c t a t o r s." With recent events of Iran we can touch the fact easier than before.

P.S. Two nights ago all roofs of Tehran were full of "Allaho Akbar", a religious phrase which means "God is great" but is used for showing protesters anger for more than 30 years in Iran.

Decision

Last night when I was stopped in Mashad airport for wearing a not suitable cloths ( !!! ) and forced to change them, at first moment I became angry of that ugly woman but after some seconds I was laughing at her in my mind. She made me make my decision easier than before. She was trying to put me in her straight way and now I think I'm in MY straight way !!! So thank you ugly woman.

P.S. I've missed all kindnesses of my family which is left in Mashad.

Photographer

This picture was taken by MY little princess.

Holidays

We were in a trip with Mehrdad's family. Again I can swear the one who most enjoyed the trip was Rozana. When we were again at home last night, she came to me and said " MamanSomi I love you very much and will accept all you say.Please bring me again to the see." !!!

Mother ...

I remember the moment I was becoming conscious on Rozana's birthday. It was about 3 years ago but as live as yesterday in my mind. Hearing magic words of my mother who was repeating I'd given birth to a lovely and healthy girl was hearing around. She was making me sure even at this phase of my life when I was a mother too.
Apparently I'm reviewing that moment. She was talking and talking and I was thanking her to be my mother in past 27 years. Something was growing in my mind and it was only appraise feeling to my mom. I wasn't thinking about Rozana at that moment, nor about my pain just my mom...

Today is Mother's day in Iran and I'm sure there is no way of thanking our mothers except giving them just a little bit of affection they'd given us all life.

Thank you my mother for being always with me, beside me, cherishing me, arguing with me, training me, fooding me, nursing me, crying with me,pushing me forward, ....

Thank you my mother.

The most Favorites

Today I read some news about the most favorite websites in the world and comparing it with statistics of the most favorite websites of Iran. First have a look:

World Statistics: Google(1),Facebook(2), Youtube(3), Yahoo(4), WindowsLive(5),Wikipedia(6),Baidu(7), Blogger(8), Microsoft Network(9), Twitter(11), Wordpress(17), Amazon(18)

Iran Statistics: Google(1), Yahoo(2), Blogfa(3), Mihanblog(4), Farsiclub(5), Blogger(6), Tabnak(7), Persianblog(7), Blogsky(8), Wordpress(9), MelliBank(44), MellatBank(45), SamanBank(70)

I think these numbers are talking individually. We are living in a country which has 6 Blogging website in her top 10 ranking and only 1 site in the area of Information. Only 2 banks are in the first 100 ranking.

When most of news sites are f i l t e r e d society will turn to blogs. This is my country.

Luck

Do you believe in destiny? If you are excel in something or bad in something else is it out of your destiny?
I think about this subject lots of times. If I'm living happily and have an admirable family with a lovely princess and am not wondering about earning money everyday is it out of my own abilities or destiny? What's the difference between me and some one who wasn't born in suitable conditions? Why should I be better than her? Is it fair? If not ,so the great maker wasn't fair? But we've heard he is the most fair power in all the world .... but why we didn't start from the same point?

P.S. Although my bro. and his lovely wife are with us but I've missed KhaleSanaz a lot. Hope she is good where ever she is now.
