I think Iranians in Iran have bigger worries

I don't agree with above sentences. We are taking about a population that is faced with high prices, strict religious rules, high unemployment, addiction and so many other issues. Besides, every once in a while, there are articles about family of Ahmadinejad and Khomeini, Rafsanjani, etc.

آقای ونداد،

آقای ونداد، این نیست که به طبق سلیقه من مقاله ترجمه و ارائه کنید بلکه هر کسی‌ سلیقه و برداشت خود را در این موارد دارد و ارضا کردن همه غیر قابل ممکن میباشد.  ولی‌ شما در نظر بگیرید که اگر کسی‌ که با انتخاب شما در موضوع و یا مقاله‌یی موافق نبود او را به تنبل ذهنی‌ متهم نکنید.

vandad, first of all, i

vandad, first of all, i found the article banal.  the author's experience and understanding of iran, the pahlavi family and iranians as a child and adult was not interesting nor did it add anything to my knowledge base.  secondly, this taboo-shekani (the "first in the past 30 years") is grossly exaggerated.  as i explained (obviously not effectively), the pahlavi family already had lost princess leila to depression and that event was highly publicized by this family.  therefore, alireza's suicide was neither a taboo-shekani for this particular family nor a taboo-shekani for the entire iranian population (i gave links to other articles documenting suicides in iran caused by social injustices).

redwine jan, you, as a member of khavaas, need not apologize for descendants of the subjects (avaam) of your family.  thank you in advance.

ونداد جان،تقصیر خودمان نیست که اینطوری هستیم و اینطوری رفتار می‌کنیم،اینجوری بارمان آوردند و ترک عادت موجب مرض است ! دوست داریم که خلق الله قربان صدقه مان بروند،هندانه ورامینی زیر بغلمان گذاشته و هزار قربان صدقه مان بروند،دوست داریم عیب و اشکالاتمان را بهمان نگویند،آخر مگر نمی‌دانی که ایرانی جماعت انسانی‌ کامل هست و استغفر الله بهتر از خود خدا ! منابع سواد و اطلاعات دنیای فانی و باقی‌ هستیم ،مظهر علم و دانش و هنر و هزار جور کوفت و زهر مار.. ما پارسی زبانان هستیم !

خدا آخر و عاقبت ما را با این هموطنان محترم به خیر کند.

عزت زیاد.

Thank you for the informative articles.

"Stuff happens and some, one way or another, get stuffed"

vandad, i too think that

vandad, i too think that this is a poorly written article by someone who did not even do a basic research about the subject at hand.  depression, suicide rate, and users of depression medicine are very high in iran and has been for a very long time (please see the links below which i found through a simple google search).  even though the youngest of pahlavi's suicide was attributed to depression, the author claims that "for the first time in 30 years, the pahlavis broke the taboo of talking about the subject (with regard to the suicide of alireza)."  a contradiction that the author implied and the translator did not notice.  sir or madam, this shows your tanbali zehn and lack of professionalism.

i personally knew a prominent professional woman who immolated herself in iran some 20 years ago when it was a more common event.  i also have read many similar stories in the past 30 years.  here are couple of articles for you so that you get educated:

//www.rferl.org/content/article/1065567.html

//www.asianews.it/news-en/Suicide-is-the-second-leading-cause-of-death-in-Iran-7658.html

while those who are more prominent and have access to media can talk about depression and suicide to a wider audience, this declaration by the pahlavi family by no means is a new phenomenon.

Ms/Mr vendaad

By every new comment you further prove my initial judgement of your way of thinking; right.    Goodbye Ms/Mr vendad.

Dear Mehrban

To make you angry wasn't my intention at all. I trully respect your opinion and I am aware that there are infinite
tastes and levels of intrests amoung people. I personaly found
Azadeh Moaveni's article delicate and beautiful. She creates an
opurtunity to dive into Iranian people's psyche while trying to
undrestand the death of young Iranian prince. The sentimental threads
that she woven in that regard produced a intimate text. I should also add that I am father of a lovely girl and also a man with the
fragmanted mind.I don't know how I expressed my confidence that I knew I never had. I went through your blogs and found that you like poetry and are a poet, therefore I attach a critical review that I wrote about Iranian young poets and hope that you'll like it...

مهربان جان ، و الله دروغ چرا؟ تاقبر آ آ آ آ

به به چه باهوش

 ""بزرگ‌تر که شدم به تحصیلِ علوم سیاسی پرداختم و در ادامه در رشته‌ی روزنامه‌نگاری تحصیل کردم. به‌عنوان گزارشگر در ایران کار کردم و کم‌کم توانستم به درک بزرگسالانه‌ای از خانواده‌ی پهلوی دست یابم."

 هاهاهاه..به به چه باهوش ,دختر خرگوش , ليسانسۀ دانشگاه الصادق و سروش و گزارشگری مغنعه پوش , سخت کوش با يه دست روپوش, تو را بخورد موش و لبيک عمرو امت نوش. شادی افزون نازنين

Ms vendad, I generally find

Ms vendad, I generally find your blogs petty and pedestrian however many like them and praise you.  Being "Mehrban" :-) I generally keep my mouth shut and tell myself that I probably do not understand their relevance.

This time because of one uber stupid sentence (my opinion) حکومت ملا‌ها به شیوه‌ی قبایل بدوی، مردم ایران را شایسته‌ی ملاقات با خانواده و زندگی خصوصی‌شان نمی‌دانند.

I made a comment which in second thought (my right) I wanted deleted because I thought it was not worth mentioning.  Unlike you who is very confident, I feel this way about most of my comments.  I think my judgement about "petty" however is being proven right.

مهربان عزیز، مهربان باش

از این خبر بسیار متاثر شدیم،بنده فکر می‌کنم که ایشان از لحاظ مسائل عاطفی و احساسی‌ شباهتی زیاد به مادر بزرگ مرحومشان،خانم فریده دیبا داشتند.

ونداد جان،دستتان درد نکند ،مثل همیشه..سرافراز شدیم از خواندن مطلب شما.

ارادتمندتان..

ممنون از مقاله شما
اما ایرانیان هرگز مقصر نیستند و نبوده اند؟
همه و همه تقصیر پهلوی است
انگلیس و سایر جهانخوران امپریالیست یادمان نرود
هر کسی دردی دارد ومقصر آن دیگران جز خود ما مردم ایران
