No thank you Shazdeh

Valla didn't do anything more than that... Ey baba : )

Monda dear: no need to start all over, just change the title ;-)

خاطرات رمانتیک سانسور شده

شازده جان ، والا همینشم برای من خیلی‌ بود!

لطفا اگر فرصت شد، به سه نکته توجه بفرمائید.

۱. در خانوادهٔ ما مرسوم نبود که تا یک پسری میگفت بریم تو، ما هم بریم. اگر می‌رفتیم، چند ماه قبلش پدر مادرهامون بساط عروسی‌ رو برامون تدارک دیده بودن. 

۲. زنهای نسل من اکثرا با ژن سانسور بدنیا اومدند. یعنی‌ خیلی‌ سخت میشه حرفهای خیلی‌ خصوصی رو از دهنمون کشید. نه اینکه بخوایم ناز کنیم، نه، علتش اینه که قبل از باز کردن صحبت، قضاوتها رو اتوماتیک در ذهنمون میشنویم. مگر اینکه دوران بلوغ در ایران بزرگ نشده باشیم. یا از خانوادهٔ خیلی‌ آزاد آمده باشیم. 

۳. در این داستان کوتاه، تنها نکاتی‌ که من قصدا جا انداختم، فعل او‌ انفعالات بدنی و هورمونیم بود. مثلا، وقتی‌ مات زده نشستم، سوای گیجی (از بی‌ تجربگی) و احساس خجالت (یا خریت)، هجوم دوپامین و ایندورفین به مغزم، هم شدیدا علت بود. فلواقه اورلد احساسی‌.

پسر‌های دیگیی‌ بودن قبل از فرهاد، ولی‌ اون اولین کسی‌ بود که جرات کرده بود بهم ابراز علاقه بکنه، بدون ترس از هیچکی. برای همین شجاعتش، من همون لحظه بدجوری عاشقش شدم.

 : )حالا مطمئنین میخواین از اول شروع کنم!؟

ماندا جان، اینکه کلی‌‌اش سانسور شده بود

قبول نیست ... از اول!

Dear Monda:

بقول شاعر: من كه باشم كه بران خاطرعاطركذرم

Majid and Roozbeh

Majid, I'd love to read your music recording stories, but i can understand your confidentiality dilemma in writing those blogs. You may have to change names, but then che fayedeh. But the natural writer/ story teller in you, will know how to go about those minor details : )

Roozbeh, Thank you so much for your comment. Do stick around - there are lots of nostalgic Gems on this site all the time.  

Roozbeh

I/most of us, would be more than happy to share stories/ memories from motherland with our younger friends who were not fortunate enough to enjoy youth in their vatan. Stick around aziz, this is home away from home!

one of, if not the best blog ever!

It is very interesting reading people talking so honestly about any aspect of their lives, finding common denominators and aspects of life which link us all together as a nation, even if I can not relate to the stories at all, which is the case here! With that said, apologies for the intrusion and i am out of here back to reading your wonderful stories about life in a bygone, seemingly much happier era....

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Khanoom Monda!

Yes, there were recording studios and label companies at the time but not behind my lil' store, "Argaamaan and Taraaneh" to name a few, I just had  CO  NEC  TIONSSS.........LOL

I had a tape of Shamaaee zaade, singing all of his songs to Googoosh so she would get the jist of the melody and the tune, like Mordaab, Gharib e ashena, and many others, before Googoosh records them!

Based on those performances, some people encouraged him to start singing them himself (his biggest MISTAKE! if you ask me).

Said that, I love his "Agheegh, Ojaagh and ....."

Don't get me started please, it's a story on it's own deserving many blogs........LOL     

Souri joon

khosh haalam ke behet khosh gozasht... i'm waiting to read Majid's or yours. 

Monda jon

Thanks. I thought it is time to change that old avatar which was from two years ago. This one is taken last August......I thought it can bring a fresh air of summer, to this cold winter time :)

About DM, I got it wrong. You said to DM : befarmaeed mal e khodetouno(you meant he writes his own story).....I'd read befarmaeed mal e khodetouneh  (befamaeed touye blog, khouneh khodetouneh)

just mis-reading, nothing wrong!

Your blog is a total success! I really enjoy reading all the comments here. Thank you again.

The good behavior of the people, warms our heart and make us thankful.....  And the bad ones, just make us to recognize and appreciate the good ones!

Souri, Love your new avatar

How was I tarofing? What was all DM's?

Please advise. 

Agha Majid, did you really?!

Was there a recording studio behind your record store? I wonder what it was like before all he million dollar consoles came about in the 80's?

Monda Jaan,

Some things are better left to imagination. I enjoyed reading your story and along some comments it brought so much memories. Mostly sweet. Your friend Sima makes sense.

I don't remember the parfaits but remember the look & feel of it in detail.

When you have the chance, do Think about her and possible scenarios until you see he possibility a) she was not the one for you had you known her more or b) she's been feeling the same as you have which may be c) laanat bar in roozegaar, che heif..

I am so glad you read this.

(Chatanooga had the best parfaits, right?) 

If you need a break: Do read Faramarz's new story for now

Gooleyeh namakeh : ))  i'm working 'til class tonight.

Please do let me know!

It's one of my few lifelines to life as I knew it. Even if I miss some I catch most of them!

Hon?!

akheh you're always so bezee, room nemisheh hey baraat chert o pert email konam : ))

whenever you'd like to hear more, just come on by! 

Bah bah keyf karadam!

It's so nice to be immersed in all the sweet memories of everybody. I so agree with those who said they miss the days when you saw this kind of friendly spirit on IC.

Monda joon, I'm always so happy to read  your blogs. It's remarkable how there is so much more to know about people you have known all your life! Writing is great.

I saw this blog by accident. I count on you emailing me with your blogs, otherwise I miss them!

merci Ari jan,

In this very troubled world we live in, once in awhile I get the urge to see the lighter sides of life. All I can offer are a few lines about periods in My life when every feeling was simply categorized and very important. Also, bringing up these childhood memories, helps me see  the importance of relationships in my 18 year old's life and how differently she goes about resolving romantic events, of any magnitude. I'm one proud parent, Ari!

Such a beautiful story!

The shy girl who always attracts trouble. Bet she hasn't changed a bit!

قاصدک صادق

Monda,

The quote came from my response to Shazde in defense of all shy Iranian women in the blog below.

//iranian.com/main/blog/shazde-asdola-mir...

نخیرم ولی‌ خوب بله دیگه، فرامرز

 : ))

این جریان قاصدک رو من درست نگرفتم. توضیح لطفا.

هادی جان، رسیدن بخیر عزیز!

در زنگیم خیلی‌ خرییت‌ها کردم ولی‌ اون تو نرفتن اون شب، جزوشون محسوب نمیشه : )) بعدا بهت مینویسم چرا.

ماندا

خب می رفتی تو دیگه دختر ! تازه از اکسفورد به خانه رسیدم . خستگی ام با نوشته ات در رفت . خوش و خندان باشی

فرامرز جان , شما چوب قاصدک بودنتان را هم می خورید .

قاصدک! هان، ولی ... آخر ... ای وای!
راستی آيا رفتی با باد؟
با توام، آی! کجا رفتی؟ آی ...!
راستی آيا جايی خبری هست هنوز؟

From Akhavan Sales' poem 

همش تقصیر این فرامرزه!

ماندا،

خیلی ممنون از کامنتت! اگر کار دیگری هم در دوران جوانی و بعد از جوانی کردی، اونها را هم اینجا بگو و تقصیرشوهم بذار گردن من!
دوستان دیگر هم همینطور!
آب که از سر گذشت چه یک وجب، چه صد وجب!
من همش چوب ساده دلیمو میخورم!
