Photoblog-16

This is the picture of Greek ship in west bank of Kish Island in South of Iran. It's one of the symbols of the island and had a nice story at behind.

It was for Portugal army, and when it become in mud they put lots of efforts for making it free; the cost of this efforts was more than the whole ship price; but they weren't successful and left it there.

Now, if you go at sunset to visit it, you can see one of the most beautiful views of the sun over the see.

Devoted Husband

Yesterday, Mehrdad and I were talking about buying a house. He said the place of that region is exactly on the Tehran earthquake line, which means that if the disaster happens, no matter how good the building is structured, nobody will survive. I said I prefer to die in that case instead of being alive and see all my families and friends are dead, but he said he prefers to be survived and make a new life!!!!!!!!! See, how similar we are to each other!
But at least he is honest to express himself. Last year when a 5.2 Richter earthquake happened in Tehran, I was asleep and he immediately ran out of home. He said it’s an advice to just think about yourself at that moment. Maybe he is right.

Iran Closed

Last Friday in Iran Daily newspaper a caricature was painted showing a cockroach which was speaking with the accent of Azeri People. Up to this point everything was ok, but suddenly from Sunday some complaints start about the caricature and Azeri people said they think this picture is insulting them and they condemned for the caricaturist punishment. Two days ago the caricaturist was fined from his job and yesterday, when the judge saw that this new movement is not finishing they put him on jail and even arrest the owner of the newspaper and closed it.

Lots of noises for just one word which was said by a cockroach!!! Some of my friends said that poor guy should be punished because he had repeated the dirty jokes about Azeri or Lori or other local nations. But please wait and have a look at the whole story again. Do you think really that guy wants to insult kind people of Azerbaijan, or do you think that all these jokes which are heard everyday is made by strangers not by them? Or even more, do you think this new temporary wave which is arose everywhere is for sympathizing with them?

I think all of these arguments is very well managed to make a legal reason for closing more than 250 newspapers before. This time they are saying that we are paying attention to your demands so we close this one like the others.

But this axe of punishment shouldn't be always on the head of journalists in order to let them criticize leaders and powerful people to watch their jobs. It's a fact that if nobody feels freedom to express himself then no improvement is done.

2nd Of Khordad

Imagine its 9 years ago and tomorrow is the presidential election. Would you elect Mr. Khatami as your president?

I want to confess that : Yes I would. In spite of all his negligence in front of the people's wishes, in spite of all his failures in making people better economical conditions, in spite of all his cowardice in fronting the USA at that damn Clinton time and in spite of lots of other reasons which maybe will flash in your mind ,I would still vote for him.

Lots of conditions has changed during past years, I know the future can judge him more fairly and they will admit that in those eras he was the best.

I pray never come a day that we say at the era of Ahmadinejad, he was the best… Sigh…

Our Present

One day, a raven was sitting on a tree doing nothing all the day. A rabbit came dawn and asked him:" Can I sit all the day and do nothing?" raven answered:" Of course you can." So the rabbit sit under the tree and take a nap. Suddenly a fox came and ate him.

A funny result of this story could be this one: if you want to do nothing all the day; you should be sit in very high levels.

But this funny conclusion is a real one in Iran. Actually the new leaders are just doing nothing because they are sitting in very high levels, and we, rabbits, are infecting of it.

By the way, have you ever made a whole food burned all the way? Yesterday it happened for me and after 2 hours I was able to make the fog disappeared. The look of the food after its burning was amazing. Just a bunch of black material in a previous nice pot which was as ugly as those ones which are used on real burning woods now.
