PRISONER
20-Sep-2007 (7 comments)
تازه چشم‌هایم در حال گرم شدن بود که احساس کردم کسی پهلویم دراز کشید. سایه‌اش را دیدم. نمی‌دانم چقدر طول کشید، ولی مطمئناً زیاد نبود. یکباره احساس کردم که زمین زیر پایم به لرزه در آمده است. با هراس از خواب پریدم. بغل‌دستی‌ام دچار تشنج شده بود. سرش به عقب افتاده بود و خر و خر می‌کرد. دست‌پاچه شده بودم. نیم‌خیز شدم. ابتدا فکر کردم که دچار حمله‌ی صرع شده است و خواستم کمکش کنم. نگاه کردم، دیدم پاهایش تا زانو باندپیچی شده و خون‌آلودند. ناگهان به خود آمدم. به سرعت متوجه‌ی اشتباهم شدم. او سیانور خورده بود و حالا مجرای تنفسی‌اش دچار مشکل شده بود. دست و پا می‌زد و جان می‌داد.>>>

از دیشب که از سر کار بر گشتم به فکر دیدن دوباره فیلم آخرین تانگو در پاریس افتادم .یک حس خوبی در دیدن دوباره ی آن به من دست می دهد و شاید هم این بهانه ای باشد که از تو بنویسم .با صدای گوشی ام از خواب بیدار می شوم ولی از خستگی دوباره به رویا می روم .پرنده کوچکی از دی شب لانه اش را کنار پنجره ام درست کرده و با نوکش دائما به شیشه می زند و من این دفعه بیدار می شوم .>>>

آقای میلانی! زمانی که ناصر زرافشان چهره جسور و مبارز و محبوب مردم
ایران شما را بی صلاحیت ، بیسواد ،كسى كه با باد مى چرخد ، عمله فکری نظام
مالی و فاقد صلاحیت ادبی می نامد، اینها توهین و پرخاش نیستند. به اینها
ترور شخصیت نمی گویند. اینها ارزیابی منتقد از موضوع نقد می باشد. به
اینها می گویند نقد سیاسی. پلیمیک و جدل سیاسی و یا اجتماعی مهمانی خانه
عمه جان نیست که فقط قربان صدقه هم بروند. رسم و رسومش با مصاحبه های
انحصاری که شما اینور و آنور راه می اندازید فرق دارد. این جا هدف
هندوانه زیر بغل هم گذاشتن و تملق گوئی نیست . اینجا نقد است و جدل و چالش

Sunshine fills the living room of a deluxe apartment in sunny Santa Monica, California, as I sit here enjoying the remaining 4 days of my vacation. Watching ‘Mystic Pizza’ with Julia Roberts (Circa 1988), with occasional mysterious clicking sounds coming from what I presume to be the sink area. I’m hungry. I begin to think what I could whip-up using the few ingredients available in the home of a young, high-protein eating, married couple who tend to eat out a majority of the time….Not much to work with, I can tell you. Having been granted free reign over the kitchen by my generous hosts, I am allowed to do as I wish in their exquisite kitchen>>>

The big Charkh-o-Falak was visible from our small kitchen window, where I would sit for hours during the long summer afternoons and evenings of Tehran in the 1980's. I watched the kids on the streets play soccer or just look at the Charkh-o-Falak, be lost in its magic, hoping that my Dad would come home any minute after work and take me there. I can still hear the happy screams of children who were riding the big Charkh-o-Falak.

آقای لاریجانی اگر زحمت زیادی نیست محبت بفرمائید و در پیشگاه اهل تحقیق و صاحبنظران و در فضای باز اینترنت نشان بدهید در کدامین برهه و کدام مورد بهائیان با "کسانی که با جان و مال مردم این سرزمین تعرض می کنند" "دوستی و مهربانی و عدم سخت گیری" نشان داده اند؟ در کدام زمان و مکان زنان بهائی در روابط جنسی متعدد "آزادانه" عمل کرده اند. آیا بی بند و باری جنسی و فساد اخلاقی بی سابقه کنونی ایران نتیجه سیاستگذاری و روشهای بهائی است یا آموزه های اسلامی؟ چرا پس از بیش از ربع قرن حکومت اسلامی فحشا و اعتیاد در ایران بی داد می کند>>>

با دستگیری ( عادل _ الف) 48 ساله ساکن تورنتو در فرودگاه پیرسون (1) به
اتهام همراه داشتن و وارد کردن 8/3 کیلو گرم تریاک به کانادا یک پرونده
دیگر به لیست قاچاقچیان تریا ک اضافه شد و بار دیگر وسوسه پولدار شدن سریع
یک نفر را به زندان انداخت . د رهر حال از انجا که این دستگیری اولین
مورد نبوده و آخرین ان هم نخواهد بود بهتر است که کمی به این پدیده
خانمانسوز که راه خود را از شرق به غرب همراه عده کمی از مهاجرین ناخلف
باز کرده است بپردازیم .

FOOTBALL
17-Sep-2007 (100 comments)
I have to say that football (or soccer, as it is called here) was definitely my favorite team sports. I played the game, along with my classmates, during most of our school years. I would not be exaggerating if I said that we played over 250 days a year! I have many good memories of playing; not only with my classmates, but also joining an impromptu game with people I would meet during my travels around the country. For instance, playing with locals on Kish Island, our in an Air Force base in Ahvaz, or some village kids in Kalardasht. The best memories are from the practice sessions we used to have in Sa’ad Abbad with members of the Iranian National Team!>>>
ARCHITECT
17-Sep-2007
I had waited for this moment for a long time - ever since I was a little boy, my father would take me to construction sites. I have vivid memories of the slender, brown, glazed tiles in the stairwell of the seven story office building my father built in Tehran more than thirty years ago. I have vague recollections of him and his architect trying to figure out how to add a second basement after the building was nearly completed - something which they did while everyone held their breath. I remember going to pick out land with my parents and my sister for a house in a new development west of the city - Tract 103. I remember going to the Design Architect’s office with my dad. >>>

Writers often talk about the urge to write their sudden inspirations on whatever comes handy, and frankly, I don’t really care to know how many bestsellers were conceived on a roll of toilet paper. I never experienced such urge, at least not until 4:00 a.m. this morning. Amid allergies that made breathing impossible and reminded me of imminent mortality, a sudden discovery flashed in my mind. Millions of visions of what may come once we die appeared before me, none of which had to do with sorrow, fear, or even regret. In fact, it was a most optimistic moment, so uplifting that by 4:11 I was out of bed and at my computer.>>>

Bluntly; in response to an Iranian female friend of mine, who the other
night at length discussed her point of view on relationship, sexuality
and intercourse without giving me a chance to breath I then promised to
make my point clear by writing about it, even broadcasting it to a
broad spectrum of audience perhaps to provoke a few “logical” feedbacks
from our countrywomen. Ladies please put your emotions aside for a
moment and read on. Let me start with my lady friend’s point of view about American
(Western) women tendency to experiment with sexuality without
considering rules of ethics, without framework of understanding and
love, without a mental or emotional connection with someone

Generally speaking, the reaction from the Iranian community at large falls into two camps: those who feel that organizational activity and resistance by the Iranian Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community would provoke a strong government reaction, which in turn could lead to an international reaction against Iran as a whole, and those who seek a return of their full civil rights. The difference between the first and second group is that the second is not under pressure from the government due to their sexual orientation. I believe they can be asked to demonstrate for our full civil rights, as well.>>>

I don’t know maybe I have some serious mental problems, I mean, there are other young Iranians here who are all too bikhiyaal and haven’t been to Iran for years. When I ask them if they miss it at all they shrug and say the old “I miss my family I guess”. Or maybe it’s because everytime I go back, I have such a good time with baahaal people and then come back here to this boring, soccer-crazy, whisky-drinking freckled-faced, freak of a country. I don’t know. I asked my mamman about it a couple of days ago and she said the same old “you just think it’s like that because you were there for a short time” crap. Which may be true for some people but not me.>>>

One day three weeks ago our favorite cat disappeared. She was the most beautiful cat we have ever owned. She was smaller than a full size cat but she had a very leonine profile, grey with black tiger stripes, a bushy tail and yellow eyes. She could do a higher standing jump than any creature I have ever seen. She could launch from the ground to the roof of our house or a neighbor’s house in a single bound. At night I could hear the wooden gate rattling outside my bedroom window when she would jump up on it... that is the only sound she would make as she stalked through the night but it was enough to let me know that she was there. She spent a great deal of her time high above the ground walking along fence tops or roofs in the darkness and shadows like a Ninja.>>>
QUESTION

هنگام خواندن صفحات زرین زندگی کالیگولا، بعضی تشبهاتِ او و دکترِ عزیزمان
احمدی نژاد، توجه ام را جلب نمود! هر دو مدت زمانی را در ارتش (سپاه)
گذراندند. هر دو در آغاز قدرت، قول رفاه و عدالت دادند. هر دو در آغاز
سخاوتمندی بسیاری (به خصوص به نیروهای نظامی) نشان دادند. هر دو بعد از
مدت کوتاهی، نشانه هایی از ضعف و عدم تعادل روانی نشان دادند (اعمالی که
به سادگی قابلِ توجیهِ منطقی نبود)! و بالاخره، به نظر می رسد که احمدی نژاد جان هم، مثل کالیگولا، فقط چهار
سال در قدرت بماند! جالب تر از همه اینکه، احمدی نژاد هم در تلاش دادن
درجۀ کنسول به اسبهاست

At times, the crowd’s noise overwhelmed the huge amplifiers and the sound system. It was unbelievable! There was a lot of good energy but it seemed that Kiosk didn’t expect such an active crowd and lost focus here and there. Overall, they played very well and performed the songs different from their studio version. There were very good solo performances by almost all of the band members, especially Babak who knocked the socks off the crowd with his guitar solos.>>>
