So many beautiful people, so little time! Hey isn't Ari's sense of humor flawless?

P.S. I wanted so badly to give Khanom Parsipour a warm hug but damn my shyness in these occasions...she would have no idea how  taken I am by her writing.

A nice Prelude To The New Year

by A. Hassan Danesh (not verified) on

Char shanbeh sori-- is a nice warmer and a great preludestarter before the Iranian new year officially begins and i think while during this time people still cleaning up their homes to get ready, people should also do their best to pick up the grabage from their larger home , Iran, even if it means to pick up a single cigarette butt or a soda can or a flying plastic bag or the stucked one in the streets--

Char shanbeh sori--The babtizing fire of cleansing and cleasiness of one's large and larger hom-- Danesh

--1 cigarette butt--
