صیغه های زنجیره ای

امشب میخواهیم از خاطرات امام در فرانسه ذکر کنیم....

خورشید چند لحضه پیش غروب کرد، قرص ماه در افق در حال بالا آمدن است، کلاغ ها جنجالی بپا کرده اند، سارها فوج فوج روی درختان چنارفرود میایند و انبوه جمعیت در صحن مسجد آیت اله کاشانی در پامنار نشسته اند. روضه خان چاق و فربهی خرامان و آرام آرام از پله های منبر بالا میرود. (فردی از درون جمعیت فریاد میزند): صلوات.... صدای آروغ بسیار بلند توی بلندگوی مسجد میپیچد و جمعیتِ غافل بخود میاید. این احتمالاً نشانۀ آنستکه حاج آقا روضه خوان شام را نوش جان کرده اند.>>>

 نوبل به سبک ايرانی !

26-Oct-2007 (4 comments)
این جایزه‌ی نوبل و برنده‌اش برای خودش داستانی شده است. عده‌ای از هموطنان که با افتخار نوشتند: بعد از صد و خورده‌ای سال یک ایرانی جایزه‌ی نوبل را برد! و یا برنده‌ی ایرانی‌الاصل جایزه‌ی نوبل! جل‌الخالق! به حق چیزهای نشنیده. جایی دو خطی نوشتیم به این مضمون که گویا ما کمکی عقده برمان داشته٬ آماده‌ایم تا در هر ماجرایی خود را داخل کرده و هر افتخاری را به خود بچسبانیم>>>

I was brought from Khorasan

Rumi's journey from Balkh to Konya

26-Oct-2007 (3 comments)
Rumi was born and lived his childhood in Balkh, a center of Khorasan, Iran, but at the age of 12 his father took his family on a long trip, just before the Mongols were advancing toward Balkh. At the age of 20 Rumi arrived in Anatolia, at Konya that had been for many centuries a Roman or Greek province; now in Turkey. Rumi did all his writings, lectures, teachings, sermons, and poetry in the Persian language. Even the letters that he wrote to leaders, governors, and friends were in the Persian language. Despite all the years that he lived and did his work in Konya, Rumi always considered himself a native of Balkh and Khorasan, Iran,>>>

If I had to wager a bet, I would say that the attack, in form of so called "surgical strikes" with missles, accompanied by very heavy cover from 3-4 naval carrier groups in the Pesian gulf will happen between February and April of next year. >>>

Hospitality kicks in first

An anatomy of an Iranian encounter

25-Oct-2007 (8 comments)
From all the heavenly images you get to see in Iranian functions such as their cars, houses, food, female companions and so on you hardly can picture them wondering around Wal-Mart store in their jeans. This can sometimes come as a shock. As soon as I saw him, I tried quickly to turn my shopping cart around and escape the situation by pretending that I’ve seen nothing. But when I was just ready to yank my cart to the left I saw his wife looking right into my eyes with a big smile on her face. >>>

Why are you asking what I am doing here?

After reading JJ's pictorial essay on his unrealized trip to Israel, I was reminded about a confrontation/incident I had with Israel (El Al) security forces of all places in Newark International Airport (EWR). Before telling you about the incident, let me say that I am glad JJ didn't make the trip. I am saying it not because Israel has become a pariah country in the Middle-East or because it is an apartheid nation, their close cooperation with South Africa during their apartheid regime not withstanding, Arab citizens of Israel are treated as second class citizens. >>>

کره زمین خیلی بزرگ، اینقدر به من نچسب !

برای همه سرخورده ها پیش می آید که در بار با کسی درباره مشکلشان حرف بزنند و آن شخص برایشان منشا مشکل را پیدا کند. مردها. آمریکا. مسلمانان. دولت. گی ها. مهاجرین برای هر مشکلی دلیلی است . ( قانون علت و معلول) دلیل مشکل مرد هم مهاجرین است. کمی هم دولت حاکمه. مرد عضو این گروه زیر زمینی شد که شعارشان هست. " کره زمین خیلی بزرگ است . چرا به من چسبیدی" شعار مد روزی نیست. ولی وقتی گروهک زیر زمینی شعارشان را که صورت آهنگ می خوانند خوبتر به نظر می آی>>>
