Hi Mina,

    I agree with you 100% that:

**************************

....... the only, courageous Iranians, are the ones, protesting on the streets of Iran........  No one is,  compared to what people are going through in Iran.

*************************

Actually, in your original blog with the same topic, I wrote that the bravest people are Iranians. 

thank you!

De Nashod banooie gerami,

That seat is already taken........... By yours truly ;-)

 

Thanks for mentioning your old enemy[Yahya], now new devoted pal[YT].

P/S Ms. Dadvar, Excellent choices all around.

Niloufar Azzizam

I think you have a great idea.  I am not sure, if JJ is willing to do the extra work to put it into practice.

The only people whom, I have found, consistently, civil, are you, Abarmard, Yolanda, ebi and Ari.  There might be others, whom I do not know about.  But, Irandokht, is certainly not one of them. She has frequently insulted many people (me included).  I should add that most of these attacks have been unprovoked.   

I understand that you think Jaleho is courageous.  In my opinion, the only, courageous Iranians, are the ones, protesting on the streets of Iran.  That is why, I did not want to have  "Most Courageous" catagory.  No one is,  compared to what people are going through in Iran.

Thanks for your input and your suggestions.

I might have time to post a blog about our weaknesses.  It would be interesting to see, how that goes.

Need to leave now.  I will be back to check other messages, later this evening. 


Niloufar Parsi

mina jan - a suggestion

by Niloufar Parsi on

it's such an eye-opener to see how people view each other. i am really surprised by some of the views and comments, though not all (and i don't mean just about me).

but i have a suggestion for all the readers, and JJ in particular: why don't we find a way of making this a regular feature? it must be possible for people to give feedback like this more anonymously.

and btw, how about including Irandokht above?  to me she is one of the most likable and civil contributors.

And - i know this will be unpopular - what about Jaleho? If nothing else, she has shown a lot of courage and is real too.


David ET

LOL Phantom

by David ET on

If it makes you feel better just create your own list and include yourself and all of us who did not make it to this one !:)) 

and regardless of the seat location , be happy that at least you and Farah will be in the Shazdeh's plane to Iran, no way he will even let me in ;-)

Thanks for your comment.  Do not worry about getting "kicked out" of Featured Blogs.  No pilot study,  just something fun/positive.


Sardar Assad

Where is Ostaad?

by Sardar Assad on

I miss him so much.

He should have got an academy award too. 


SamSamIIII

Mina jaan

by SamSamIIII on

 

I think your blog got all stressed out due to all these acceptance speeches & academy trafic that it ran away from the 1st page & is now takin a nap in backstage(2nd page) or just may be they fooled you into editing your blog which automaticaly will drop it from featured column ;). Any ways, using steroids I got 3 gold medals, cash reward or a free Psychotherapy session?..is this a pilot psycho analysis project of yours online to analyze reactions? ::)).

Nevertheless , thanks so much that you choose me, a non-iranian persian speaker along side so many great patriots. Much obliged!.

Cheers!!!

Anonymous Jan,  You are right.  I will fix it right away.

Red Wine;  Nice!!!


Anonymouse

Faramarz nominated me as 1 of d funniest2?! what happened?!

by Anonymouse on

BTW thanks Monda jaan!  Maybe romantic but definately NOT "poetic"! My vote for poetic goes to PW, Orang and Anahid! 

Everything is sacred.


Red Wine

by Red Wine on

حضرات محترم و محترمه ، هم وطنان نکو کار پارسی زبان (اعم از فارسی‌ زبانان و دیگر بزرگان!) بنده حقیر،این کوزه شراب شکسته،من خانه خراب را به مورد لطفتان قرار دادید و مهربانی کردید که اینجور از من سخن گفتید

.قربانتان بروم که اینقدر با معرفت هستید و خوش قلب.

بهارتان سبز و دلتان شاد.

Yolanda, divaneh, Anahid, Faramarz

by minadadvar on

Dear Yolanda,  there are very few who flag down, their own commet.  I am not surprized, that you are one of them.

divaneh Jan, it was my pleasure.  Happy Norooz.

Anahid Azziz,  I did not see anything wrong with your comment.  I agree with you regarding PW.  I have not seen any posting by him, recently. 

Faramarz, if you are the same as Faramarz Fateh, then I put your name down as 'most patriotic".  How is your speech coming along? LOL.    


divaneh

I second Anahid on Persian Westender

by divaneh on

PW is for sure one of the most creative writers and a must read contributor. Another missing star is Aghadarioush.

بازم به معرفت تو دختر، هیچ اشکالی نداره، بالاخره مام یه خدایی
داریم. اصلا میدونی‌ چیه؟ اتفاقاً چه قده خوب شد که اینجوری شد، بذار بین
خودشون بِبُرّن و بدوزن تا بعداً نوبت ما برسه. حالا من و تو میدونیم توی
هواپیمای شازده که قراره من و تو و بقیه ایرانیان دات کامیا رو ببره تهرون،
کی‌ باید روی صندلی بغل توالت بشینه...

The Pahlavis, all mullahs, and all public figures associated with the Green Movement  must disclose the source and the amount of their wealth/income.


Anahid Hojjati

Dear readers, mitranorthcal and I have special bond

by Anahid Hojjati on

One of the readers complained to me that my comment about who is funnier between me and mitranorthcal was mean. Just to clarify, that comment was tongue in cheek. Mitra and I are friends and she knows that I meant it as a joke. By the way, thanks to all readers who voted for me and OMG, I just remembered. Persian westender is one of most creative on IC. Sorry pw if I forgot to mention you earlier. I do really like many of pw's stories and poems.


divaneh

Heartfelt thanks

by divaneh on

to all the kind people who mentioned my name here. It was the best new year's present. The list includes all my favourite contributors (although in my view some are not in the correct categories), and I sincerely hope that we can see even more of their valuable contributions. Thanks Mina.


Farah Rusta

Thanks David

by Farah Rusta on

You are a very good judge of character :) excpet when it comes to Mousavi and Pahalvi :) - Have a happy new year David. I may not agree with some of your ideas but I know you always mean well.

Souri Khanom

my brief list contained people of different political persuasions, some diagonally opposed to mine, but I think they all deserve a mention. By the way if I didn't include many others,  yourself for example, it was because they are already mentioned in the previous blog by Ms Dadvar.

Mina Khanom 

Thank you for your good work and careful observation.

 

Happy Nou ruz to you all.

Faramarz

It is all Souri and Monda's Fault!

by Faramarz on

Mina Khanoom,

I dearly love everyone on the list and I am 100% in support of it!

If it wasn't for Souri and Monda that put my name on the list, everybody would have got along just fine.

This should teach them a lesson not to nominate me anymore! I am working on my acceptance speech right now.


yolanda

.........

by yolanda on

Hi! Mina,

Thank you for your kindness! OMG! I need to live up to the image of a civil and friendly person.....that is a lot of pressure! LOL!!!!!    Be very honest with you.....I flagged my own posts many times 'cause I feel the posts were bad and not friendly enough...

please take care!

 


David ET

Dear Farah Rusta

by David ET on

Thank you! You sure deserve your own two catagories:

Most passionate and persistant ;-)

Happy new year..


Abarmard

Dear Mina

by Abarmard on

Thanks for putting a list together and thinking of all our members. I would tell you how valuable you are and how I enjoy your comments and blogs (and interesting questions, I still tell that Mulla Nasredin joke in parties)... but then it would be chaplusi, so I won't.

Happy Wednesday


minadadvar

Souri Jan

by minadadvar on

Thanks.

I forgot to tell you, that I agree with you 100%.  You are one of the "Most Real" contributors.


minadadvar

Hi Abarmard

by minadadvar on

My pleasure.

You should ask them!!  But, why would you want to switch places?  Objectivity/civility seem to be among rare qualities.

Happy Norooz.


Azarin Sadegh

Thanks!

by Azarin Sadegh on

You are very sweet dear Mina! Forough has always been one of my all time favorites, and for sure I am under her spell!

I think I'm going to remember your kind words, next time and each time I feel down!  


Abarmard

Thank you Mina

by Abarmard on

Is it possible to switch spots with others?

How about if the other person agrees?


Souri

Of course Orang....

by Souri on

Orang was the firs one named in the category of the Most poetic ones:

//iranian.com/main/blog/minadadvar/my-fav...

PS- Ms Rusta

Some of the people who mentioned there, would go under the category of the Most Pathetics, in my book :)

But I don't want to mess up with the beautiful spirit of Mina's blog. LOL


minadadvar

Azarin Azzizam

by minadadvar on

No, this is not a mistake.  Aside from being sensitive, you are a great poet.  Your work reminds me of Forough.  One of my all time favorites. 

Happy Norooz to you and all your loved ones.
