Mixed

Are your family members your friends or your friends as your family members?!!! Of course both are possible, but the reverse is different. Your family members are always there, you can decrease your relation but you can never cut it off, but your friends are always there because you want that ,so the relations are much more pure. Do you agree?

Election

Do you remember May 1997? In that time 2 men were working for the 7th presidential election in Iran. All the governmental resources were with one of them and most of people liked the other one. After counting the votes the difference was so noticeable so dispersed cheatings never became remarkable.
As it's said, after that election our people started practicing democracy in their society. For them who always have been laid on the oil benefits and interference of religion and politics are inevitable it was a big experience. I'm not writing about that time and its own problems because it's 8 years in our history.
After the time of Mr. Khatami, again people went to vote for their most powerful man in the governmental hierarchy. But something strange happened. Our intellectuals who are most living abroad and even lots of local ones banned participation in the election. They said we don't trust to the system and never think that our votes are choosing the president. I think they forget that each person has 1 vote, no matter if he is illiterate or educated.
We saw the result. Our current president has only 3 million votes behind, but he is here now. He started learning ruling the country and up to the time that he becomes educated all the people are paying its cost.
Now, next week we have another election. I know most of people haven't found that enthusiasm to participate and its priority is less than the other ones. But I have my own theory , accept it or deny; while we are living in Iran so we should vote ,when the amount of the votes increase then they can't ignore them and now it's better to participate in the election to EXERSISE for choosing another president in 3 years.

Photos

Today is the birthday of a friend. Last year we went to their home and give them gifts and celebrate and eat cake but ... I had my camera and because theirs were not working properly I took the photos and then promise to print their pictures as soon as possible.
Now 1 year is passed and those photos are still in my computer. Really hearing that today is again his birthday was amazing. It seems just a blink of an eye for me while 1 year is passed.
Beside all these sayings help me to find a way and give them photos. It should be funny to see photos af your birthday but for last year.

Mr. Mayor

There is a Persian proverb which says:" When a fool through a stone in a pit, then even 10 wise man can't put it out." Yesterday in my work place exactly something similar happened. But unfortunately this time no one even cares to prevent further damages. I'm sure some thing worse will happen again...

Next election is going to be held in 14 days. I want to write much more about this election but not today. Just it's interesting to mention that the current mayor of Tehran who is directly responsible for severe traffic jam after the snow is increasing his popularity according to the latest rates. The more I think , The less I result. I should remember my friend's quotes:" According to their individual benefits ,it's to rational and the others are not important...."
imagine you have been stacked in that traffic with no way out and the temperature is going down , you are getting hungry and thirsty or even worse; your kids are nagging... then how you will accept to vote for the man who occasioned it!!!

Cold Wether

First snow in Tehran is seen!!! This pure white color with it's meaning of having clean weather, delicious fruit in summer and maybe schools holidays for the kids is a source of hope and energy, do you agree? How wonderful is being the symbol of lots of good things just by appearance !!!

But this snow result in some difficulties too. In immediate morning everywhere is covered with a thin ice layer ,make walking hard and finding taxi even harder. Being careful to not catch cold and not having broken bones could be a though project.
