FOOD

Ditch the diet!

Why not add some ‘Super foods’ to your daily diet instead?

02-Jan-2008 (9 comments)
Yet another year goes by and I find myself tracing the same familiar steps I have taken in years gone by. Know the feeling? First, we overdose at Christmas, promising to diet in January, then we make New Years resolutions, normally including some form of diet or exercise commitment, which we solemnly swear to uphold, but by the second week of January, we’re back to our old ways and that extra holiday weight is hanging off our midriffs looking like it’s ready to set up permanent residence. Deja vu? Nice try, but I think we all know it is nothing but pure laziness that holds us back.>>>

BENAZIR

One assassination, two killings

Why it's difficult to feel sorry for Benazir Bhutto

02-Jan-2008 (25 comments)
I am deeply saddened and still trying to recover from the horrible news of the killings and frankly, more shocked about the “killings”, than the “assassination”. When I look at her eyes, those innocent eyes, it churns my heart as why should a beautiful creature like her be killed in cold blood. What has she done wrong? What did she say to deserve being killed? What was the justification for her death? Poor dear Tatiana. How come no leader of the world blamed Islamic terrorists to be responsible for your death?>>>

SECULARISM

سکولار بودن دانش

چرا دانشگاه يک نهاد سکولار است؟

02-Jan-2008 (20 comments)
گيرم که استادان سکولار علوم اجتماعی را از دانشگاه اخراج کردند، گيرم که به استادان دانشکده های علوم تجربی و فيزيکی دستور دادند که کار تدريس را با گرفتن وضو و تلاوت آيات قرآن و انجام نماز آغاز کنند؛ اما، درست در آن لحظه که تدريس دانش فيزيک و شيمی و زيست شناسی آغاز می شود، همهء باورهای مشيتی و تقديری نسبت به نيروهای ماوراء الطبيعه به بيرون کلاس تبعيد می گردند و کلاس درس از حال و هوای وهم زدهء «حوزوی» خالی می شود. >>>

Sense of rebellion

Erfan: Modern day Persian poet

02-Jan-2008 (4 comments)
A new generation of Iranian artists are striving for the mutation of our music. For those who have been waiting for a change, the time is now and there is a new wave of talented Rock and Hip-Hop artists reaching out to us. This goes a long way toward explaining the large majority of our Iranian pop music culture. However, every once in a while an album will make its way past reviewer after reviewer and deservedly earn high marks with nary a scratch. I believe this will be the story with Iran’s hip-hop messiah, Erfan, and his debut Album, “Az Khaneh ta Goor”>>>

IDEAS

Time to move on

Iranians must understand that times have changed

02-Jan-2008 (6 comments)
Iran was indeed a world power to reckon with during the time of the Safavid, especially during the reign of Shah Abbas. But Iran has been an insignificant world player, and an almost absent one, for more than 150 years, even with the advantage of oil money. Still Iranians still have imperial dreams, dreams of belonging to the preferred nation within a glorious vast empire in which they have one or more idols, kings or prophets, who are also powerful worldly figures, if not the most powerful, who walk with arrogance amongst non-Iranians, who are adorned, respected and feared>>>

TERMINOLOGY

 فرهنگ شخصی : الف ـ پ

با اقطباس شخصی خودم

02-Jan-2008 (2 comments)

کلمات برای هر کسی معنای خود را دارند. من به شما فرهنگ ایرانی با اقطباس شخصی خودم را تقدیم میکنم. فعلأ سه حرف اگر خوشتان آمد بقیه را خواهم نوشت. الف:
* آرزو: چیزی که میخواهیم ولی میدانیم که بدست آوردنش سخت است: مثال آزادی در ایران
* آزادی : آرزوی قدیمی که تحمل نمیکنیم به مخالفان خود بدهیم
* آهنگر: شغلی که از بین میرود. مشهورترینشان کاوه نام داشت.یک درفش داشت که افتاد زمین. از آن موقع به بعد هیچکس جرات ندارد آن را بردارد چون ایرانیهای پشتیبانی بلد نیستند ولی پشت پا خوب میگیرند . همه نشسند منتظر امریکا یا مریخیها.
