Iran, A Reflection: Days of War and Heat

Baroness Dudevant — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:35:07 +0000

Everyone knows cockroaches move quickly and hide well. Their survival skills are incredible as they’re fragile but swift. Back in those days of war and heat, Tehran had a variety of cockroaches; the heat of the city was a great place for them.

During night time air raids, we had to wake up and move to our make shift shelter. I would try to spot roaches in the dark. Being nocturnal, they ran away as soon as we turned the lights on.

تسلیت به خانوادهای سوگواره ایران که فرزندانه دلیره خود را ناجوانمردانه از دست داده اند. نسله جوان هیچ وقت بچه‌های معصومی که به دست دولت خونخواره ایران از دست رفته اند را فراموش نخواد کرد.

Roghieh used to cook and clean our house. Legend has it that many moons ago, Roghieh was a beggar. By luck or destiny, one day, she knocked on my grand mother’s door asking for money. Instead of cash my Aziz offered Roghieh a job, “don’t beg woman” she said, “work and earn money”. And so Roghieh did!

The Way Things Were

We adhered to the laws of the land by wearing Islamic covers outside. But at home, we dressed as we liked. In public, we kept silent about the regime. At home, we cursed it. Millions of citizens pretended to be part of the revolutionary fabric of society or at least didn’t openly oppose it. But in private, they were afraid and dissatisfied.

Brain Washing

At school, my religion teacher constantly warned us about judgment day and made us feel guilty about not being devout enough. I was keenly aware of the fundamental lapse of logic in her stifling religious ramblings but irregularities were always explained away…

We were home and it was late afternoon. I had a religion test the next day. Although I was a straight A student and sat front row center, in the nerdiest seat of the class, I often left things for the last minute. I wasn’t prepared for the test.

Of War and Peace

My earliest memories of war go back to the very beginning of the tragedy. I was three years old, alone with my mother and younger sister. My father was on a business trip.
