The features you are viewing are part of my nightgown collection. In my sketches,
I mostly use ink, pen and watercolor.
My interest in this area goes back to my childhood when I started to knit and
sew various materials to make toys for my friends. As a child, I used to be exceptionally
good in the visual arts, drawing and making objects >>>

* Personal vandeta
Shahram Mostarshed writes: I
read Guive Mirfendereski's article ["Power
of one"] and found it highly provocative. It seems that Mr. Mirfendereski
has used his bully pulpit (as a regular contributor to The Iranian Times)
to settle a personal vendetta against Dr. Kamyar Kallantar-Zadeh... Mr. Mirfendereski's
comment about the PWC leadership being "bigots" is a fabrication at best
and a personal vendetta gone awry at worst. Please spare us from his future rantings

Please tell the Reza Pahlavi: keep dreaming ["Citizen
Pahlavi"]. It was after all his father's arrogance which brought the country
down.
Where the hell has he been for the last 21 years? They stole enough money to live
like royalty all this time.
Please tell him to shut up and grow up.

Translation of today's poem by Zara
Houshmand:
She's come! She who never left us has come!
That water never left this stream at all.
She's the pod of musk and we're its perfume.
How could the scent be separate from the pod?
