Remember those silly things we used to read on the back of trucks on the way to shomal to keep from boredom? Somebody just sent me a load of them

I have been asked frequently to give talks about my life. I have never done that before. Having read this and a few other articles, I have finally decided to write something on Internet for the first time.
A bit about me (this part may sound boastful, but please be patient): 44, practising Muslim, never drinks, always prays and fasts, read Quran regularly, anything from good to very good looking, 178 cm, 81 KG, Stanford PhD (Eng), Stanford MBA, classically trained pianist, full hair, no glasses, co-founder and CEO of a privately-held technology firm with a staff of over 500, and 150+ Million/Year revenue. Married to my dear German wife for last seven years. She is a 34 year-old school teacher, a 177 cm stunner for whom I happily turn away from the whole world. We have "never" been apart for more than a day. It will remain that way.

Believe it or not, the largest number of "search-resulted visitors" to my blog have arrived through searching for the word "
Khastegari!" I have every intention of giving them what they are seeking.

وقتی در تنهایی خودم در اندیشه گم سرکش روزگار به انسان فرو رفته بودم ، بازیچه شدن کور در باد را به یاد آوردم....!!
به کدامین سوی این طغیان ها می توانستم پاسخی روشن برای بقا و ماندن بیابم..!!
.... ومعلوم نبود که این سرکشی از آن کیست... و برای چیست!!

... خودتان بهتر می دانید که ایران بوی
نفت میده. یک جرقه کافیه که آتش بگیره ، برای جلوگیری از این پیش آمد، ما
محتاج به ملت احمق و مطیع و منقاد هستیم. اما تشکیل این احزاب و دسته هایی
که راه افتاده و دم از آزادی و منافع کارگر می زنند و زمزمه هایی که شنیده
میشه خطرناکه، خطر مرگ داره. نباید گذاشت که پشت مردم باد بخوره و یوغ
اسارت را از گردنشان بردارند و تکانی بخورند، باید دستگاه قدیم را تقویت
کرد...

یکی از سوال هایی که مدتها ذهنم را مشغول
کرده بود این بود که چگونه مغولها توانستند به ایران حمله کنند و این همه
جنایت کنند و ایرانیان هیچ کاری نتوانستند بکنند. چطور چنگیز خان توانست
به ایران با آن شکوه و قدرت غلبه پیدا کند. چه شده بود "ایرانیان در آن دو
صد سال که از قرن پنجم تا قرن هفتم هجری بوده بدینسان تغییر یافته
بودند؟!" جواب این سوال را در کتاب "حافظ چه می گوید" از "احمد کسروی"
پیدا کردم که چکیده آن را در اینجا می آورم.من انتقادهای زیادی به این
کتاب دارم که البته نمی خواهم اینجا به آنها بپردازم و قسمت زیر هم نقل
قولی است مربوط به تاریخ که بر دانش میافزاید.

I joined the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) in March 1981 (back then it was still called by its post-revolutionary name, Pars). My aunt, Laleh Bakhtiar, knew the head of the English section and was determined to get me a job. She had become my de facto parent since I arrived unannounced at her Tehran home a few months prior. I was barely 19 and living with relatives who wondered when I was going to get a life. All I did was buy every newspaper and magazine I could get my hands on and take pictures of the revolution parading in front of my eyes.

TGhazaye Irani shegeft angiz ast! As
someone who is Persian, I can tell you that the Persian rice salad (aka
Shirazi) is one of the most diverse salads to exist on the planet.
Although, implied to be just a standard regular salad, it is confusing
and if made incorrectly, it can turn into a generic mess. Ghazaye
morede alagheye shoma chistand? Ghazaye Irani shegeft angiz ast! Bayad
be meile khodane ghazaye ra dashte bashi. (brought to you by Sarah Afshar.)
