Let the new year in
by hamidbak22-Mar-2008
Abroad where nothing looks or smells like Eid in Iran, we keep trying to open doors and let the new year in. I live with memories of Haft Seen, 4 Shanbe Soori, and new clothes and hope to be home for Eid one of these years. This is our Haft Seen this year and I tried to remember what Haft Sheen was. This is the best I could do. The
little note book is one of Baba's poetry books. He gathered poems and
wrote them down in books and notes. I found this one about Spring. He
wrote it down in 1335 (1956).

Both Sharab and Shekar are
by haftcheen (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 06:25 PM CDTBoth Sharab and Shekar are words of Arabic origin, so how could Haft Sheen have predated Islam?
Haft Sheen

Indeed Haft Sheen existed. In fact the primary reason Arabs, upon their first attack to Iran, got rid of Haft Sheen because of Sharab. Funny Sharab was a bad thing but "Shamshir" wasn't while they used it to cut Persian throats in the name of Islam.

This is terrific
by ramintork on Sat Mar 22, 2008 05:39 AM CDTI liked the special touches like mixing Haft Sheen and Haft seen, your Father's poetry book and your good taste. For one thing people in my blog section were arguing that Haft Sheen does not exist, or it does not include Sharab but you proved them wrong.
Happy Norooz.
