Music

    Deep Dish
    The mesmerizing music of two DC DJs

    July 14, 2000
    The Iranian

    Washington, D.C.-based musicians Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia and Sharam are Deep Dish -- couple of the hottest DJs and producers of house music on the plant! They are wildly popular especially in Europe and Japan. Their new Yoshiesque double CD is simply magnificent -- nonstop (literally, there are no breaks between tracks) mind-bending dance music perfect for twenty and thirtysomething parties. Here are eight selected tracks >>> GO TO MUISC

Tea with former British ambassador to Iran

By Cyrus Kadivar
July 13, 2000
The Iranian

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon on a cloudy June day when Sir Denis Wright greeted me outside Haddenham Station in Buckinghamshire. "I'm afraid I've grown older since we last met," he quipped, shaking my hand. The former British ambassador to Imperial Iran was a wiry man with a slightly hawkish face and attentive blue eyes. At eighty-nine he appeared a fit and active man immersed in academic research. Wearing a light jumper, khaki trousers and brown shoes, he seemed more like an Oxford professor than a former diplomat. There was nothing pretentious about him and he clearly enjoyed meeting with Iranians or anybody interested in Iran >>> GO TO FEATURE

Peace

Walls of woes
Divided Cyprus has a become a world center for dialogue

By Majid Tehranian
July 12, 2000
The Iranian

Divided Cyprus is a telling metaphor for the world's current human rights and wrongs. Walls of visible and invisible discrimination are built around us everywhere. Ever since 1963, a shabby wall has divided Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, to separate the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. Following the war of 1974, a Green Line partitioned Cyprus. Like the Berlin Wall during the Cold War years, that partition is a testament to human folly.

A UN peacekeeping soldier stands guard at the wall. To the question whether we can photograph the ruins of the Turkish side, he forlornly nods yes. There is nothing to photograph >>> GO TO FEATURE

Ahl-e Abyaneh
What of this cocoon in 20, 30 years?

By Shahrbanou Tadjbakhsh
July 11, 2000
The Iranian

Naneh Noghli and her friends put on their best costumes every day and sit at the doorsteps of their mud houses from sunrise to sundown. They gossip about the old man down the alley, about their children in Tehran, about the busloads of tourists from distant lands with their Cannons and their bewildered looks.

Naneh Noghli is 80-years old , with emerald eyes, and a frame that barely measures one meter, and weighs, perhaps, less than three red stones in the desert below her mountain. From behind, with her short red dress, her long white scarf with flowers and her black tights, I thought she was 10-years old. >>> GO TO FEATURE
