Jaleho's comment: A case of making light of Iranians' suffering

 In her comment to Curly, Jaleho wrote:"...and of course some who are not being raped every few hour do find some time in their lives to enjoy decorated sugar cubes." 

This Jaleho's comment to curly seems to be a case of:

چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار
چندی عضوها مسخره سازند از دردشان

Marge, I beg to disagree!

Although the American military establishment (hence its Israeli military dealership) is itching badly for a war, but they know they CAN NOT attack Iran. They have to be content wit Yemen ;-)

BTW, although I am such a disgusting "anti-Semite" I would not lump American jews together with pro-Israeli nutcases (many of whom are Christian Zionists). Majority of American jews are strongly anti-war.

Let's hope that I am right about the war and you're wrong. I know you would pray for me being correct on this, so will I.

marhoum Kharmagas, eidet mobarak

For me the favorite is naans too, in particular barbari! Every morning I walked and got some. Here one can pretty much get most stuff that one misses in Iran, except for naan barbari and sangak!!

Good to see that you're not marhoum again.

Curly, once upon a time before revolution,

in Iran they used to call tissue as "kleenex" and toothpaste as "Blendax" and hand lotion as "Nivea"and laundry detergent as "Tide" .... since we had to pretty much import EVERYTHING needed from the west. These days you go to most kitchens in Iran and you will see refrigerator, oven, microwave....all appliances are made in Iran.

Furthermore, you open the refrigerators and inside it there are all kind of safely packaged juice, food, from all types of polo v khoresh to condiments (I will not get into missiles, satellites, nuclear energy material, nano technology prowess, biotechnology and petrochemicals, the most equipped hospitals which not only perform complicated heart and brain surgeries in large numbers for Iranians but are also part of Iran's medical tourism offering those services cheaply to people from regional countries....) no, those are not relevant to the present blog or your comment. But you know, they DO make decorative sugar cubes insde Iran, you don't have to spend time decorating it yourself!But thanks for noticing it, I did think they are cute to look at for people who had not seen them in Iran before.

And, although I find it strange that instead of looking at a pretty haft sin and Norooz flowers and slogans, you were busy counting chairs in a picture, but I assure you that there are numerous houses in Tehran who have 8 chairs.

Of course, if you live in the Iran that Fred describes here and makes you believe in, where people are walking in the streets and they are being beaten and raped at random, then you would indeed be surprised to hear that people are full of life, elderly are exercising in the parks early morning and the young ones are playing,  they have enough enthusiasm and money to FILL the flower shops for Eid, in shirini foroushis you had to wait in big lines, the same for buying Mahi and ajil....and of course some who are not being raped every few hour do find some time in their lives to enjoy decorated sugar cubes.

it's you that's in wonderland, ho....

the joke is you and your 'blog'......

you can call iranians who want to see their homeland free as dreamers.....it is however, you and your beloved akhoonds, who think by sitting on a volcano they are going to last another 30 years!!!

you really think that by killing and raping anyone who disagrees or exposes your beloved akhoonds, that they are going to last???

you think that you are actually fooling anyone with your nonsense????:" the children of iran are enjoying political freedom....."  that was the best joke by far!

anyhow, keep living in YOUR dreamland where the mullahs are god's gift to iran and it's people.....but soon you will wake up and see you are in southern lebanon with your mullahs LOL

and for your info, the akhoonds have NOT STAYED IN POWER on their own.....they have had the full backing of the french, brits, russians and chinese for 30 years!! 

The Naans!

Happy new year Jaleh. Thank you for the nice pictures, specially the picture of Naans!

Ya, U.S/Israel failed to turn Iran into another Iraq or Afghanistan last year. Let's hope they fail this and other coming years.

jaleh o..

where were you in all those photoes ?

you should stay there and enjoy the rapist republic.....

Maziar

Your blog is the best

blog posted for the April's fool day on IC.

There was never even one strike and you all closed your eyes to that fact, and kept on with your wishful DREAM

Akh daram hanooz mikhandam,

Thank you for the laugh and happy new year!

Jaleho: obama will go with an attack on Iran to win Dem seats

You see, the Jewish Americans actually vote in the mid term elections. They are pretty livestock-ish so stay tuned. I am so sick of the American politicians who should just be working in the Israeli Knesset. We have a corrupt and stupid government here in the USA. We have homeless vets, and yet we pay for Israel to build settlements and bomb dairy farms. 

Priorities wrong? NO! Stop being an anti-semite. American is dead. Congrats Israel. 

Dear Jaleh, so glad you had fun, but not everyone was so lucky

Please remember that not everyone had a happy Nowruz, no thanks to the regime you so love.  As someone said here, many are licking their wounds and they will come back a little more violent.  Here is Neda's family on Nowruz,

If the concepts of khoon-baha or ghesaas mean anything in Shi'a, it will be done.

Jaleh Khanum,you're 100% right

keep on waiting and continue your wishful thinking of the past 30 years. Pass it on to your children while you're at it!

*

You're right,Jaleh Khanum.At this time, unlike you, we're not able to go back to visit Iran for different reasons , but some day , I and other Iranians in exile, will go back safetly and freely to celebete Nawruz with our loved ones in our mother land.

That day will come

Happy Nawruz to you and your family

Mona :)

Jaleh jan - thank you

Nice to see that life goes on and some people play and enjoy themselves. These scenes are true but there were many sad scenes too like the haft sin outside of the Evin Prison and those who did not have a celebration because they were bereaved or pining for their beloved in jails.  I agree with Mehrdad in his sadness that simply holding a different point of view lands some very good people in jail or destroyed. 

May we see better New Years and may our beloved land heals and prospers.  

That's right Jaleho, when they pull someone's shirt over his

head and punch him repeatedly in his mouth and drag him to prison and rape him, you'll end up with very nice and peaceful streets, no mayhem, no chaos.

The apartment looks very nice (khoda shans bedeh) no wonder you are hanging on to it so hard!

I guess you sleep like a baby at nights, khoda shans bedeh!

jaleh jan

thanks for the blog. really enjoyed the photos.

feeling a little homesick.. :)

Welcome back

Happy Nowruz

ژاله گفتم ازین

ژاله گفتم ازین گروه دُژَم

نه امید و نه هرگز سلامت خاست

نه که از فضلشان خرد برد سودی

نه ز اندیشه رأی راست قامت خاست

your what I don't want to be.. a fake!

I know your type an intellectual communist that thinks she knows the pain of masses and belittles Shushtari  b y calling her  and her generation mixed up then she has enough means to fly to Iran for Norooz and goes to her parents up town apartment a place with a table to sit 8 people with enough money to buy all the flowers and even decorate their cubic sugar:D and then leisurely goes to where masses are and takes nice pictures to show her hambastegiee! with them and brings back pictures as a souvenir for the homesick iranians to make them feel really bad. your a bitter old spinster i bet on it:D happy Norooz to you too.

Shushtari, I heard that before!

Revolution to overthrow the regime is coming....during the election, Ahmadinejad's confimation by majles, Qods Day, Ashura, 22 Bahman. Sazegara the clown was even directing YOU in the west from which streets the revolts starts, but there was never even one strike and you all closed your eyes to that fact, and kept on with your wishful DREAM, hahaha! Some people told me that I should wait and see the REAL day of green revolution -- Charshanbeh Souri and EID....hence this blog to give you a sense of reality.

The joke is on YOU my dear, keep on waiting and continue your wishful thinking of the past 30 years. Pass it on to your children while you're at it! The children in Iran are one happy and proud generation with political freedom that they have not seen in their history, and real achievements that they won't give up by the push of few old dreamers who are missing their lives of 30n years ago, a good chunk of it being the nostalgia of their YOUTH, not the actual political establishment of 30 years ago. A completely mixed up generation of losers who can't accept the reality and are thus bitter. Iranians won't allow your ill wish upon them, I promise you.

جولی می

جولی می گرامی؛

سپاس از این گوشۀ زیبای آواز دشتی. 

روز ما را ساختی ای نازنین.  

ho.....

I would not expect you of all people to pray for the demise of your beloved akhoonds.....

but don't worry next year YOU won't be able to go back.....LOL 

Yeah, likewise I am sorry as well

Not sorry for the lack of bloodshed but sorry to see lack of any poltical/social or otherwise freedom in Iran.  Sorry to see many struggle to provide for their family and sorry to see so many in prison for simply having a different point of view.

Mehrdad

بر آنها چگونه گذشت؟

I don't know how mothers of Neda, Sohrab, Ashkan, Taraneh and other brutally
murdered people or families of prisoners in Evin and countless other centers felt this "Authentic Eid spirit" that you described? Or were they thinking of "Year of Hemmat mozaaf, Kaar mozaaf" or the year of "Patience and resiliency"?

Jolly Me, I LOOOOOOVED that!

Thanks so much, that video makes anyone Jolly!

به بسیجیه گفتن:

چی شد شماها دیگه همه شمال شهر زندگی میکنین؟
گفت: اینجا هم هوا خوبه، هم ساکته، هم ساندیس فراوون.

Eavole Jaleho ;)

Yes, life goes on.

THANK YOU!
