Roya: How interesting. I draw too but in water color.
Hajiagha: Oh I know watercolor. I should show you my place.
Roya: wow, wait a minute. I am not that kind of a girl.
Hajiagha: what kind? We’re just talking. If you didn’t want to talk why did you come here?
Roya: I was with my friend. You two came and talked to us and now I’m stuck here.
Hajiagha: wow, wait a minute yourself. I am an artist and people like to talk to me.
Roya: I see some people giggling at you when we cross them by. What is up with that?
Hajiagha: Nothing, they don’t like some of my cartoons.
Roya: Can you draw my caricature?
Hajiagha: Yes if you don’t kick me in the shins!
Roya: Ok take it easy. Let’s start over. So are you a decent man or you just want to play around? Like your friend who is a Don Juan?
Hajiagha: No I am not a Don Juan. I am a manly man. So do you want to give me your phone number or email before our friends gets back? Phone may be better. I am still learning English, you know with being Architect in Iran and Businessman here. If I use email, I’ll talk about Canada non-stop and you don’t want that. Sucks Canada!
Roya: What is this about Canada? My number is 867-5309.
Hajiagha: Good very good. Here come our friends.

by Anonymouse on Wed May 07, 2008 03:19 PM PDTFeshangi, the re-runs will have to be when someone comments or stumbles upon one of the episodes.
Irandokht, as for ‘khastegaree’ itself, well the first couple of episodes were full-blown khastegarees. The idea of this khastegaree series came about when we were talking about something with Nazanin Canadai and thought what it would be like if Hajiagha went to a khastegaree. I had also tried in the past to ask Hajiagha if he can imagine himself going to a khastegaree with all his "baggage".
So the first episodes were that way, but I wanted it to make it more real. It doesn’t matter if we call these ‘dates’, Hajiagha calls them Khastegaree being old fashioned and no matter what we tell him, he does his own things! Besides, all of these dates if meant to be the road to marriage are kind of pre-khastegaree.
If you all see Hajiagha tell him to send some more cartoons. Tell him he’ll forget if he doesn’t draw and practice. He has an audience and there are plenty of current news he can use. One lucky woman will marry him some day ;-)
Anonymoush, Ok man lady
by n.zanincanadai on Wed May 07, 2008 02:40 PM PDTAnonymoush,
Ok man lady like nistam, shoma yad begirin ke bashin. Afarin. I will continue to refer to the people in my life they way I choose. You can think whatever you like of me or anyone else or no one at all, as long as your giggle is tickled.
Don't ruin the khastegari.
the best episode was about Maryam
by IRANdokht on Wed May 07, 2008 02:30 PM PDTI think the Maryam episode was the best. Hajiagha spoke the way he always does and Maryam ham jooneh saalem be dar bord. I loved the indian video there too.
One thing that I wanted to mention before the start of the next season though: the word khastegari is usually applied when someone asks for a girl's hand for marriage. It seems like Hajiagha is only picking up girls and always with an attitude too. Khastegari is a little more advanced than just asking someone for their phone #
by the way it had been a long time since I heard Jenny. Thanks!!

I'll anxiously wait till the

it tickles?
by Anonymoush (not verified) on Wed May 07, 2008 12:33 PM PDTso.... I guess using the word lover tickles your fancy.
just not very lady-like, that's all.
I don't think anyone cares who you sleep with as long as you don't keep referring to them as the person you sleep with (lover) every time.
Lover is whatever you want
by n.zanincanadai on Wed May 07, 2008 12:20 PM PDTLover is whatever you want it to be. Pick whatever option gives your giggle a tickle.
what do you mean n zanincanadai?
by Anonymoush (not verified) on Wed May 07, 2008 10:49 AM PDTwhat do you mean by "lover"? are you saying you're a lesbian and so is your cousin? or if your lover is a man, is he not good enough to be more than just a sexual partner? or is "lover" a new cool way of saying boyfriend?
some of us don't speak english well enough to guess
thanks
My lover and I contemplated
by n.zanincanadai on Wed May 07, 2008 10:29 AM PDTMy lover and I contemplated going to that event but ultimately decided it wasn't worth it for us. Because we spend a lot of time in san francisco but are not there at the moment. And we figured it wasn't worth the cost of flight plus 300 $ for the event. Especially since we have to go back in a few months anyway. But beleive you me, if I had known JJ was for sale, I would have crawled there myself. I would have given big bucks and revealed my identity for it. And it would be a heck of a date. I would've taken him to a water park or an amusement park and we would've had a good time. Then, food, drinks...and there would be pictures too. But what can I say...too bad for me. I did see my cousin in the pictures with her lover and I damn near had a heart attack. Maybe we will get a report on that date of his.
But this place gets more uptight by the second.
Yes
by Anonymouse on Wed May 07, 2008 08:51 AM PDTThe blogs are getting "serious" now. It is like when some new people visit for the first few times they look around and find one of these serious articles and say to themselves, oh my god look what this person is feeding the Iranian public in iranian.com! OMG!! Let me comment anonymously.
So s/he then takes it upon him/herself to educate the public and goes on and on about the stuff we already know and have read about it in a thousand times in this website, let alone other places and our own friends and families.
Some other writers keep writing the same serious stuff but try to be "controversial". Just look at articles like Persepolis is bad or who brought down Pahlavis, etc.
The moderation policy does't help either. We talked about comments going down since the so called moderation went into effect. It used to be that many comments would spin new contributions, but now it is getting boring. They muzzled Hajiagha which brought down the interest by about at least 70% in favor of who knows whos!
Maybe if JJ talks about Fariba who paid good money to go on a date with him, we'll see a rise. They hid the news in between 400 pictures! When they mentioned her I commented on that page and thought this would be more important than our nan-e shab, but no one cared! When is this date, do you know?
Thank God
by Mazloom on Wed May 07, 2008 08:51 AM PDT...it's over for this season :O)
