PRISONER

Hengameh in Hell

Award-winning journalist in Islamic Republic's prison

23-Feb-2011 (9 comments)
In a cold, concrete cell at Tehran’s Evin prison sits 36-year Hengameh Shahidi, a single mother to one little girl. The well-respected, award winning journalist and fervent women’s rights advocate was recently sentenced to a 6-year prison term for “conspiring against the Islamic regime.” In the Islamic Republic of Iran, promoting Women Rights and speaking out against violations at the hands of the reigning Ayatollahs is clearly, a grave crime>>>

من و دوست غولم

با يك ماچ نمي شد همه اش را بوسيد

دراز كشيدم رو كاناپه و سرم را گذاشتم رو شكم نرم و گنده آقا غوله. شكمش عين بالش بادي سفري بود. از آن هايي كه وسطش قد يك كله گود شده. قشنگ سرم رو گودي ناف غول جونم كيپ شده بود. او هم داشت موهاي مرا بهم مي ريخت. به خيال خودش داشت نوازشم مي كرد. اينقدر ترسيده بودم كه شرايط حرص خورن از اينكه يكي با دست هايي به آن گنده گي موهايم را درهم و برهم مي كند و مي كشد و مي كَنَد را نداشتم>>>

CULTURE

Yeki bood yeki nabood

Our culture – assaulted as it may seem - still maintains its profound beauty

23-Feb-2011
Among a pile of forwards I happened to receive a nice clip about the beginning phrase of Iranian fairytales, Yeki-bood-yeki nabood - one was and one wasn’t. And it went on to conclude that such a phrase being hammered into us from childhood may well be the reason why we choose to be alone, always “yeki” and never a team. That if one is there, the other is absent. As if someone had just offered the best food for my eccentric thoughts, my mind took off and hard as I’ve tried, I haven’t been able to get rid of it>>>

اینجا زمستان است صدای بهار
مُچها جوانه زدند
آسفالت هم سبز شد زیرِ پاها
چاره‌ای نیست
باید شكفت یا مُرد
