Jahanshah Javid

Iranian Times

Ah, yes, the good old days.   JJ, you just GO RIGHT AHEAD and wear that T-shirt!  You've every reason to be very proud of the work you started fifteen years ago: you had a vision and you've been steadfastly seeing it through. Your website is a great resource for not just Iranians, but for all humans.   Keep up the good work--and live long and prosper, to channel a Vulcan.  (And by the way, love the photo of the outside window and door of your Budapest flat!) 

Thank you JJ,

You and your team have done an excellent job of growing and managing this site. Iranian dotcom has improved its form and content over time. Hoping to see another 15 years of iranian dotcom.

Also, thanks for saving millions of dollars of US taxpayers' money by helping people in emotional and psychological distress who may have ended up in emergency rooms (very costly).   

Jahanshahe Javid - Future funding for this site

It has occurred to me that , since this site is a cross between Hotel California (which one can never leave) and predominantly and very evidently an asylum, sort of "Care in the Community" project, have you thought of contacting WHO's mental health section for a grant to continue your international services?

I'm (almost) serious!

Happy Birthday Iranian.com!

You have worked so hard on this Jahanshah, and Iranian.com is a truly unique and special forum as a result. Khasteh nabashi! In a few weeks, we will also be ending three years of blogging and community publishing on Iranian.com. One of the things that has made this medium so powerful is the intensity, depth, and the flavor of hundreds and thousands of people having contributed to its content and dialogue. Thank you for continuing to take care of Iranian.com with all that you have. It is an extremely valuable asset as a result. Happy Birthday!

Happy 15th anniversary

JJ jaan,

  I doubt if there is a better way for anyone us who come here, to release our frustrations, anger while engaging in classy and constructive and educational debates. In essence you have provided us with this gift of Democracy and freedome in putting out there what is in our mind.

Many of us owe a huge debt of gratitude for letting our Zaboons to be opened , our fingers to get moving , to tap on those keyboards so hard and write things that we never dared to write before.

Thank you. Thank You. Thank You.

BTW. Don't keep the "jeegar" behind the counter waiting too long.

Happy Birthday IC

And thanks for creating such a wonderful site.  

Me too

Mr JJ you done a good job starting and putting up with this so far.

I found this web site very EDUCATIONAL but it does not matter at times it gets boring. I also admire your tolerance and patience. Not going in length to explain to you I remembered and practiced one of the important lessons (called freedom and democracy).

Also on behalf all the rights, in the middles, lefts and gays (and of course lesbians! hm yes them too!!!!) like to wish your web site a happy birthday. 

Fairness and Equality in Justice

Tears of joy

Dear Friends,

I've had internet problems all week. I'm in an internet cafe at Budapest's central station. I opened this blog after more than 12 hours without a connection and I'm overwhelmed by your kind messages.

I wonder what the woman behind the counter here is thinking. "Chera een yaroo daareh ashk mirizeh... nanash mordeh? baabaash mordeh?..."

I'm touched and moved. Thank you.

thank U jj and team!

Here is to another 15 years !

Will the nostalgia of today's bygone days be stronger or weaker?

Will the readers and bloggers be debating the same topics?

Will I ever get to take pictures of Iran and post them on IC?

I don't know, but thanks JJ for keeping it going and Happy b'day Iranian.com.

Time goes so fast. I was 81 when you started this website... Though I have always been a silent reader.

Happy cost-nothing

جهانشاه جون، تبریک...جهانشاه الهی قربون سایتت برم...اوا
توروبه خدا اذیت نکن، چقده زود پونزه سال گذشت...جهانشاه ما اگه تورو
نداشتیم، توی این دنیا آبرو و حیثیت نداشتیم... اوا جهانی‌، جون من راس
میگی‌؟ منکه اون موقع‌ها توی قنداق بودم...

حالا اگه همین جهانشاه، که ازش به عنوان ناجی فرهنگ و منادی آزادی و
بقیه لقب‌هایی‌ که اینجا نمیشه نوشت اسم میبرن، بگه : "آهای ایها الناس،
توی خرج و دخلش موندم، اگه فکر می‌کنین ارزش نگهداری داره، همّت عالی‌ مزید
امتنانه"، همین جماعت شروع می‌کنن که" اوا مگه پول علف هرزه؟ اینم مارو خر
گیر آورده، همین چن وخ پیش کلی‌ بهش پول دادیم که حالا رفته "بوداپست"
دنبال ...نده بازی و عرق خوری..."

میگی‌ نه؟ امتحان کن!

Happy 15th Birth Day to Iranian.com

Dear Janhanshah, I can’t believe it has been that long! Congratulations on the job well done. Iranian.com has been a big part of many Iranians of different ages. I think Iranian. com has played a big role in connecting and building bridges among Iranian and none Iranian all over the world. Happy Birthday and many happy returns. 

Happy Birthday Iranian.Com

Thank you Jahanshah and your colleagues. 

 What you have been doing is priceless. 

Happy Birthday iranian.com

and many more...

Thanks for creating this forum of free speech for the ones who never had it in their homeland, for all your tireless work, your integrity, your open mind, your fairness and your friendship.

I just remembered it was 12 years ago when I first wrote you an email and was shocked to receive a very kind and sweet reply. It feels like a lifetime ago.

JJ you rock!

Freedom of Expression for All

Happy birthday to IC and much thanks to you JJ for providing a wonderful platform for everyone to communicate and keep up with the news. IC has been a valuable site for us Iranians to practice freedom of expression, tolerance, and ways of democracy.

MY Memory........

When I discovered Iranian.com I was only 14 years old in 1995.  I remember sending a check (can't remember it was either 10, 15 or 20 bucks) in order to receive emails from Jahanshah, also can't remember was the email sent 5 times a week or more?  I remember there was some sort of a controversy, something about Islam I think, and some people got mad and demanded that their subscriptions end and to get their money back.  Iranian.com has always been controversial from day 1.  The only reason that I signed up for a subscription of Iranian.com was because the internet was really slow back then and when I was going to site like BBC or cnn.com it really took a long time to load and I thought how great it is to receive email which you can open right away without the stupid upload time. Yep the dial tone era.:) you guys remember the "eeeaaa shoooo" sound of the phone whenever you tried to connect to the internet?  I came with my parents to USA when I was 10 so my Farsi was really weak, and Iranian.com was and is a great site for me because I get to keep up with the news on Iran.

Ahhhh Memories...........

 Jahan, do you still have the list of the people who paid for a subscription of Iranian.com?

Dear Jahanshah

Congrats and thank you for a truly unique site where we can speak our mind about our beloved motherland.

May we all learn to be tolerant and forgiving for if we do not, the Iran we know and love may not be...for much longer.

خانه ي ما اينجاست

خانه اي داشته باشم پر دوست

کنج هر ديوارش
...
دوستهايم بنشينند آرام

گل بگو گل بشنو

هرکسي مي خواهد

وارد خانه پر عشق و صفايم گردد

يک سبد بوي گل سرخ

به من هديه کند

شرط وارد گشتن

شست و شوي دلهاست

شرط آن داشتن

يک دل بي رنگ و رياست

بر درش برگ گلي مي کوبم

روي آن با قلم سبز بهار

مي نويسم اي يار

خانه ي ما اينجاست

تا که سهراب نپرسد ديگر

" خانه دوست کجاست؟ "

Happy 15th Birthday IC

You look much wiser than your age.

Thanks JJ for creating such a rich medium for all those interested in Iran. I find this site highly educational and so valuable in the way that people from different end of spectrum intermingle with each other.

Now you can have a wish.

Happy birthday

... and congratulations! Thank you JJ and the IC team for all your hard work and persistent effort to make this a forum where we can exercise our freedom of expression. We've come a long way in 15 years and still have a long way to go.

Thank you! 

To JJ & His Colleagues

Happy Anniversary & Congratulations on Hitting 15 Years of an Excellent Online Journalism. Many people find themselves coming to IC more and more often to the point where their visits are almost daily now. More power to you!
