Yashar & Yalda

This Yalda turned to an unforgettable one by Javad's visit of Iran and also our very dear Yashar's birth.
Yashar is my nephew and I regret not being beside Attie joon and Yaser while tasting their best taste of life. We feel very excited by hearing his entrance and Rozana start laughing out of her happiness. She is enjoying Uncle Javad's availability and asking us to go to Malaysia for Spring holidays :D

Dear Yashar, congratulations for your coming and littling up our life. You are very precious like your parents and no matter where ever you are, we always wish you the best.

Migration

These days lots of my friends are leaving Iran to different destinations for making a living in a new country, something which is called Migration. They are going to USA, Australia, Denmark and other popular places which have an open door to talented and skilled adults of Iran. I am somehow bind to their problems and now, I'm thinking about the costs and benefits of such a decision. Actually they are escaping from environmental problems such as air pollution and parasites, traffic jams, mandatory Hejab, lack of freedom, weakness of educational system, society and governmental corruption, insufficiency of health care and insurances and ... and they will miss their beloved ones who will remain here, will be accepted as the second residence of that country, will have to adopt to a new nature, must not speak in their vernacular, have to work harder (maybe), have to make self-satisfaction of their choices....
This is a though decision for my country's skilled workers which they are dealing with. I'm losing my friends day by day and thinking about the utopia where were able to keep all my beloved ones together.

Automn

Yesterday we went to one of our friend's while Mehrdad was at home and studying !!! I was really angry about some business problems from Thursday and this relaxation was urgent. I was thinking about the causes of heart attacks in the youth and after that day I am somehow known to the causes :(

P.S. Her first milk tooth was gone right after taking this photo. She was happy of being growth and I was surprised of her. My little princess is growing. She is waiting for a gift by Kind Angel for her tooth!!!

Rozana's First Letter

The translation:

Dear Tania,

Do you know I usually speak to God by myself? I am alone and I am always alone.

Your friend, Rozana

This letter was written by her without anyone else's help. She even didn't want to show me the letter but I think it's her masterpiece. I have a little girl who is able to talk with God, it means that she is able to connect with her own soul, God is inside us, its our conscious, So it's even nearer than our neck.

I don't know if I was able to think or even write any sentence like her but I know that she is smarter than my estimations. Maybe she blame me some day of publishing her first letter here but I really wasn't able to stop it.

At the moment she has learned only 7 letters of Persian 32 alphabets. Her letter is full of dictation mistakes but she had shown her aim. She is my little princess.

Autumn

Enjoying fresh weather is not a Tehran usual event. We took a deep breath some days ago in order to not forget how pleasing is having clean weather .
Rozana was our leader :)

Student's Day

Rozana is learning Persian reading and writing day by day. Yesterday she read the first page of a poem by her imagination and only 5 of 32 Persian alphabet. It was really interesting that a little first grade student is able to read.

... She was mad at me too because I've forgotten 13th Aban (Official Student day in Iran). She was nagging and said: "I didn't forget mother's day and made you a gift by my own work but you've forgotten Stuent's day." !!!!!!!!!!!  I was really stunned.

My Friend's Happiness

Today I'm happy of my friend's happiness. Its like tasting a cup of warm sweet coffee at cold winter weather or hugging your daughter while she is asleep or starring at your mom while she is unaware. Its really great.
She is leaving me but I am happy of her happiness, no matter how far we will be and no matter how long it will take to meet again. She is happy and I am happy of her happiness  :)

1st Day of School

My little princess is officially starting her education as a first grade student. Mehrdad and I shed tears when we saw her in that nice suit and felt how happy we are.
She is very enthusiastic about education and surprisingly  happy.

After my dear uncle death and some miserable moments, having Rozana as a reason of life is very precious. Thank you my little princess and I hope you be successful in your whole life.

Summer 2013

Summer Holidays

We are preparing for a 10 day summer holidays but I'm depressed of not being able to participate in my cousins wedding ceremony which will be held in Mashad.

Guests

Rozana is hospitalizing her cousins tonight. Mohammadreza & Dorsa are supposed to sleep overnight. When I was at the age of Rozana, my dream was playing with my cousins all the day. Its still a good memory for all of us. I don't know what will she think about these memories in the future.

Attiejoon is waiting for her son in less than five months. When I was giving birth to Rozana, she was at the next door praying for our health. Now I am wondering to thank her in a way but we are living in different countries ....

I am really happy of having the chance of hugging their son. The new angel is leaving heaven and we are all waiting for welcome. He might lookalike Yaser!!!!!

Damavand

Nowadays, I am enjoying the Ramadan, in spite of not fasting, and also enjoying the nice atmosphere of my family. My working hours has been reduced into only 5 hours. Therefore, I am able to eat breakfast with Rozana, eat lunch with my mom, picking up Rozana from school and going to swimming pool every day.

Today morning, Baba called from Damavand mountain. He was in the half way and tomorrow morning he will be at the 5656 m nice peak. His voice was full of energy and was happy of describing the nice scenery ahead. I become charged too. He made my day.

Presidential Election

Yesterday I voted for the solitary Akhund available in presidential candidates of Iran. I was in hesitation till 6 PM when I made my mind. Memories of last 4 years, and 8 years ago when some people preferred to vote for Ahmadinejhad, was alive all the time. The reason made me to participate was very internal. I WANT to feel being with majority of people who ask for change. I trusted to Mr. Khatami, maybe because of his charisma or honesty or ... but I trust HIS selection. No matter what may happen in next 4 years, I have self-satisfaction of participating in this election not just sitting and nagging.

(Who knows where I will be in next four years!!! but till then I am here)

I appreciate the idea of those one who decided to not vote for their personal reasons. In a democratic society or at least if we presume we are thinking in a democratic manner, we should exercise baring opponents ideas.

Auntee?!!!

I've never thought before about the feeling of becoming an aunt. It's really tasty

Damavand

It's the highest point of Iran. When looking down, never mention tiny pieces. Damavand is the symbol of wideness, in thoughts, behavior and generosity. Try to be like it. Big enough to be able to solve all unimportant things under your feet. Don't let rats decide or, even for a moment, bother your nice soul.

P.S. My fantastic trip with my cousins finished yesterday and I'm still smiling of reminding all funny and nice moments. It was the best Moth's day I've ever experienced.

Mother's Day

This topic is one of my most favorite ones which I like to write about it every year. Tomorrow is called mother's day in Iran, something same as 2nd Sunday of May in the US.
Honestly speaking I hadn't understood the meaning of MOTHER until the birth of Rozana. Maybe it's a repeated story but at the first moments of consciousness after the operation a blast of feelings rushed into my mind and I was appreciating my mom's kindnesses with no taught about Rozana's health. I can still remember that moment clearly.
All of mother's are automatically programmed for even getting sacrificed for the sake of their children. This instinct is causing even many problems for them but they are unintentionally kind... My mom, Abji, Mehrdad's mom, my aunt,.. ,maybe Rozana in not very far future...
Today we are going to a trip to North of Iran, with my parents and cousins who are coming from Mashad. KhaleMehri is not with us and we are somehow getting together to pretend her absence is heeling but we all know it's not true. I know my mom is missing my brothers and her sister. I know nothing is same as last year. I know all of these facts but I think I'm again lucky for having the opportunity of being with my mom and family.

*Congratulations to all kind, nice mothers who are the reason of our being most of the times.*

Silkworm

These are our new pets!!! 22 tiny silkworms which are eating mulberry leaves every moment I look at them. They are supposed to turn to butterflies and Rozana is very happy of having them for caring.

Describe Holidays

From yesterday, official Nouruz holidays finished in Iran. I had lots of nice memories although we didn't go to any trip or travel. First of all being with my beloved family all these days was a prosperity. Rozana enjoys every moment I should say. We became addict to KolahGhermezi series and all 3 of us were laughing while it was broad casted. Then Yazdan and Arian (My Aunt's grandsons) were another gift. They were with us for 3 days and all moments were full of nice, tasty and colourful memories.
Mehrdad and I enjoyed our time beings more than before, we were getting used to do some games !!!!!! but the holidays finished and I don't know about future :D
My brothers and sister-in-law's absent was clearly felt but I was happy that they are together. My old, high school, nice friend, Samira, left us with his family to Australia... Rozana has decided to get her gifts in dollars rather than in tomans for next year... and everything went perfect.
Thanks God for giving me enough health and wealth, chance of being with my family and hope for the future.

New Year

The new Solar year is coming in 2 days. Everyone are moving and working for preparations, no matter how rich or poor you are, in every house you will see a 7-sin, a reason for gathering family members together before the new year, a reason for thinking about your prosperity and health which was given last year, to you. I love these ceremonies, especially after giving birth to Rozana, her happiness brings us lots of pleasure and we all taste the good feeling.
Last week was my birthday, again I was surprised by all of my friends and families who remembered me and called, especially Mehrdad's gift, a Galaxy SIII cellphone, was wonderful.
My mom will stay in Tehran and I'm happy for being with them in these holidays, most of our friends invited us to go with them, from India and Iraq to Turkey and North of Iran. I wasn't in travelling mood, especially after my aunt's death. But I was happy of having all these friends who are inviting.
Today morning I went to Flower Bazaar with my mom, looking at all those flowers makes her better feeling. We bought bunches of them in very low price. I recommend it to whom staying in Tehran these days.

And at last, I wish you all a happy happy Nouruz, with your friends and families, beside your beloved ones, full of health and happiness and clean and green as coming spring.

HAPPY NOURUZ

My Beloved Family

Last File

Today I submitted the last part of the last course of my education. Now I'm thinking to believe that there is not any undone commitment left. It means Rozana wont see me studying again, Mehrdad wont ask about my exam days for arranging trips and my parents wont be worried about supporting me during my exams and studying days. 2 years ago when I decided to start the new path I was really unknown of the troublesome I was encountering, but now I'm tasting the sweet taste of finishing your last job. The next important project of my life will be started from next week but this time Mehrdad is also involved so we must spend more time :) P.S. My little princess was enjoying Yalda at school with my dad in these pics.

Aunt

We have different Aunts: mother's sisters, Father's sisters, close mother's friends( in Persian). All of them means someone who is female, kind, generous and also reliable at the moment of mother's absence. I had an aunt( My father's sister) who passed away about 14 years ago, it's a long time but is still alive in my mind... and I lost another aunt last Wednesday. KhaleMehri was so precious who is unexplainable. She was very kind, sometimes words are unable to express our feelings and now is one of those moments. We lost her and I'm sure I'll always looking for her whenever I go to Mashad. I'm missing her veryyyyyyyyyyyy much.
