Abarghu
Where you could hear Jen and Parees whispering

At night, angels flew over Abarghu. The sky would come so close to the
Earth that lovers could find their way in the heart of the night and jump
from rooftop to rooftop to visit their yaar. God was near, and in the mysterious
and enchanting desert night, people could hear the whispers of Jen and
Parees >>>

today there is no scream in my throat
or flow in my pen
today there is no voice
from neither heaven nor hell
today there is only silence

Repeating mistakes
Britain, Iran & the 1919 Treaty
By A. R. Begli Beigie
March 27, 2001
The Iranian
It is interesting to read the recent debate in The Iranian about
the future of Iran. But how do we stand a chance of ever realising our
ambitions for Iran until we accept our shortcomings? Moreover we must stop
repeating past mistakes, which is not possible with out knowing our past.
Below is an account of such an episode in our history. It is the account
of the 1919 Treaty written by Sir Clermont Skrine who was the British Consul
in Mash-had during the Second World War. Skrine was part of the Indian
Civil Service and was assigned to Iran from India >>>

School graffiti

The Iranian
Those who have been to the University of Sussex in England do not need
me to tell them that the library desks of this university have almost all
been riddled with all sorts of graffiti, some of which are gradually fading
away, and some are coated with black leather covers. WARNING:
Some of the profanity is quite strong. DO NOT read if... >>>

Iranian.com: Where it is and where it should be

My daughter went to school a little late today. I had to go the attendance
office to explain. I told them she had a doctor's appointment. I lied,
of course. But I wasn't worried about that.
The woman in charge was looking at me in a strange way. Who wouldn't?
I was wearing the same clothes for the third day in a row. I had not washed
my face or brushed my teeth. Forget about shaving. And my hair... well,
let's just say it needed to be washed and combed >>>

One God, One Torah, and One Persian Jewish community

Persian Jews living in the United States are on the verge of separating
into denominations -- just as the Ashkenazik Jews have. In order to better
educate the reader, we will attempt to give a brief, but hopefully insightful
depiction of the history and sociology of the major Jewish denominations,
and attempt to portray their strengths and weaknesses >>>

Mageh marizi?
Teenager from hell
By Siamack Baniameri
March 22, 2001
The Iranian
A friend of mine called franticly the other day asking me to have a
talk with his out-of-control teenage boy. He explained that his son was
running around with gang members getting tattoos of naked women on his
arms, piercing his body in locations that would make a grown man shiver.
He exclaimed that his son wears baggy pants that's even too big for
a sumo wrestler, and shaves his head like a human light bulb. He said that
son has dropped out of school, drinks alcohol and smok

Mysterious smiles and unshaved faces
By Arash Emamzadeh
March 22, 2001
The Iranian
Several weeks ago, I was walking towards Buchanan Tower, in the rain.
On the way there, I started thinking about the meaning of faith. The fact
of the matter is that I used to be such a strong believer, but now everything
seems doubtful and uncertain. What has changed? Why doesn't the concept
of a cool, private, and enlightening path towards God interest me anymore?
In the Tower, I was entering an empty, well-lit elevator, when a deep
and unfamiliar voice whispered my name: "Arash!" I was about
to look back when the doors opened, unexpectedly >>>
