Love
Marrying me
My Indian wife loves noon barbari & Googoosh
By Me
January 19, 2001
The Iranian
My wife Varinder is Indian from a large Punjabi Sikh extended household.
She should have been a Bollywood actress she tells me. Not married to a
105kg shorty who has no dress sense and can't Salsa dance.
Still, marrying me has had its advantages. She has come to love Iranian
tea from a samavar, noon barbari and vegetarian khoresht-e- bademjoon
which my mum used to cook for her when she lived with us. She enjoyed
listening to my mum's Googoosh, Heideh and Mahasti CD's. She even wants
us to go on holiday to Iran next year. This is a far cry from when we first
met >>>

Meaning
Falling in love again
Thoughts after Googoosh's concert in London
By Cyrus Kadivar
January 19, 2001
The Iranian
One day someone opened the cage and the nightingale flew towards us
to win our love and her voice. One January evening, Googoosh, deep in the
throes of stage fright, brought thousands of exiles to their feet, many
crying, with a voice that proved both defiant and undiminished by time.
"In the name of Iran and Iranians... As long as I have you, I am always
in love." >>>

Googoosh in Las Vegas was unforgettable
By Nazanine Ram
January 19, 2001
The Iranian
I went to the hotel, checked in and called my cousin, who was in Las
Vegas with her family and our grandmother. She had to come down and get
me, since I couldn't go up to the VIP floor, where they were staying. On
the way up she asked me: Guess who is staying in the adjoining suite? Googoosh!

Editorial
What rule of law?
The one that only benefits conservatives
January 18, 2001
The Iranian
Mohammad Khatami's election as president nearly three years ago raised
a lot of hope. For the first time a leading cleric promised reforms that
would emphasize the democratic aspects of the 1979 revolution rather than
its religious ones. Khatami also made "rule of law" his main
campaign slogan.
But Saturday's stiff prison sentences against reformist journalists
and intellectuals made it abundantly clear -- again -- that the rule of
law has only benefited the ruling conservartives >>>

Face in the mirror
Plight of Iranians in American Airports
By Guive Mirfendereski
January 18, 2001
The Iranian
When I question something that rubs me the wrong way, I first look at
the face in the mirror before projecting blame onto the image in the window.
In that spirit, I offered a personal reflection about the search-and-fingerprint
policies that the American government conducts with respect to Iranian
travellers ["Complain
to the Iranian government"]. I offered simply the suggestion that
the people aggrieved by these regulations should also complain to the Iranian
government. Wow! Little did I know the revolutionary nature of this idea!
An avalanche of gibberish and vituperation, Iranian style, soon followed

Khalid is what you call a he-whore. He is a woman-chasing machine who
swings his bat at any female specie that comes his way without reservation
or discrimination. Born to a wealthy Arab family with ties to royalties,
Khalid roams around the globe -- contributing his sperm to human gene pool

Still not admitting that the U.S. embassy takeover was a

By Babak Yektafar
January 17, 2001
The Iranian
Mary has spoken, and what she had to say was nothing new, but given
the current political climate of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is damaging
to her ally president Khatami and her nation >>>

Denialism
Not the right strategy
By Cyrus Samii
January 17, 2001
The Iranian
The debate over U.S.-Iranian rapprochement is on a floor as thin as
ice. The issue of rapprochement has reached a critical level so as to allow
little room for "in-between" postitions other than "for
immediate rapprochement" or "against immediate rapprochement"

Cover story
Still elegance
Life from a different camera angle
Photos by Mohammad Tehrani
January 16, 2001
The Iranian
Tehrani's photos make us look at life from a different angle and maybe
see things we would normally overlook. We see flowers and nature scenes
all the time. But just look at Tehrani's plants. They are so much more
elegant, peaceful ... and silent >>>

Identity
Hell no
I see young Iranians gradually loosing their identity
By Babak Nikain
January 16, 2001
The Iranian
Every year that passes I lose more and more patience. I hear how Iran
calls for me and I can no longer stand out, to listen but not respond.
I would give every thing I have to be able to go back. I want to walk in
the streets, as long as it is in IRAN. I want to be in IRAN and see the
sun rise and set. I want to walk in the forests in IRAN. I want to wake
up and hear Farsi. I want to feel the SUN burning my face in IRAN. No other
place is good enough. AND I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU SHARE MY DREAM. I CAN
FEEL YOUR PAIN >>>
