دو راهه ی گزينش

* فايل صوتی

و ما مردمان کشوری به نام ايران اين خوشبختی را داريم که يک چنين شخصيتی از سرزمين ما و از قلب فرهنگ ايرانی ما برخاسته است. می گويم از قلب فرهنگ ما چون باور دارم که کوروش بزرگ پيش از آن که امپراتور ايران باستانی ما باشد، پيش از آن که مبتکر اولين امپراتوری جهان باشد، پيش از آن که رهبری سياسی و موفق دوره ای از سرزمين ما باشد، يکی از رهبران فرهنگی ما است.

Upside down

On April 18, 1980, Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, in his Friday Prayer sermon, ordered a holy war (jihad) against the students. He accused the students of turning the campuses into “war rooms” against the Islamic state. After the prayers, armed gangs attacked three campuses. Within the next few days, the gangs wounded hundreds of students and killed at least 24. Students were driven off the campuses, and the government took over all the premises.>>>

اولیس همچنان دربند

پای حرفهای مردی بافرهنگ و ادیب نشسته ایم، منوچهر بدیعی مترجم اولیسس جویس با دانشی از ادبیات شرق و غرب و اندیشه ای عمیق حرفهایی دارد که بسیار واقعی و در عین حال دردناک است: "ما اينجا با يك مسأله اداري وزارت ارشاد يا يك مسأله حكومتي يا يك مسأله اين جوري روبه‌رو نيستيم. ما با يك مسأله اجتماعي خيلي جدي كه از درون جامعه آمده بيرون روبه‌رو هستيم >>>

Of diety and diarrhea!

Have you noticed that Jesus is the only one (to hedge against a history full of igonorance and bunch of creepy historians I'd say at least the most celebrated one) in the history that has a suspicious birth and death both?! Now, that's what I call unnecessary divine complications! I have a hunch that all this hoopla came about because those who came a couple of centuries after him and tried to mold Christianity in to a religion and convenience the gullible that Jesus was god himself had problem explaining even to the credulous how god can be born or die like rest of us mortals? >>>

Arabian delights

Saturday night was spent at my cousin’s house cooking for friends whilst the boys watched rugby. I had prepared a feast of assorted Arabian delights, which also prompted me to think a little more deeply about the origins of food we were feasting on. What was on the menu? Raas-el-hanout spiced lamb, a kind of maast-o-khiar with rose petals and pomegranate seeds, battata harra (cumin & paprika spiced potatoes) tabbouleh salad, hummus, warak inab (dolmeh) and merguez sausages with harissa (Spicy paste of chillis & spices) and Khobez bread...>>>
