فرزندان مهاجر و زبان »ایرانی«

25-Sep-2007 (2 comments)
یکی از چیزهایی که بعد از مهاجرت خیلی سریع تفییر می کند، زبان است. یاد گرفتن زبان کشور جدید برای مهاجران لازمه بدست آوردن کار و جذب شدن در جامعه میزبان است. از این رو از همان روزهای نخست سعی می کنیم تا هرچه سریعتر هر آنچه که از این زبان جدید نمی دانیم به حوزه دانسته هایمان اضافه کنیم. ولی گاه چنان در این امر جدیت بخرج می دهیم که متوجه عوارض جانبی آن نمی شویم: بعضی از مهاجرانی که فرزند خردسال دارند با این استدلال که کودک هرچه سریعتر باید زبان محیط را بیاموزد (ولی شاید با این نیت که خودشان فرصت تمرین این زبان جدید را در گفتگو با فرزندشان پیدا کنند) به زبان جامعه میزبان با فرزندشان حرف میزنند.>>>

On September 25, 1507, a six-ship, 400-man strong Portuguese force under the command of Alfonso de Albuquerque appeared off the island of Hormuz. In what transpired in the next three days they overcame the town’s thirty thousand fighting men, demanded and received an annual tribute of fifteen thousand gold Xeraphins, and placed the governor of Hormuz under the protection of King Manual I of Portugal (see a brief history here). In no time, shockwaves of this incidence reached the court of Shah Ismail I (ruled 1501-1524 AD), the young founder of Safavid dynasty (1501 – 1722 AD). The rise of new expansionist powers in Europe, and their far-reaching ambitions, was deeply felt. >>>

Revolution of the heart

Just think about it, hate is everywhere

What do you fear most when lying in your bed at night, just before sleep takes you away from your worldly worries? What secrets have you hidden deep inside your heart, hoping against hope that no one ever discovers that which you have hidden from plain view, but that which causes you so much anguish in the still, black, hours of the night. What demons torment the furthest recesses of your soul, your mind, and your heart, and make you long for some way to unburden yourself without risking your standing in the community, your reputation amongst colleagues, your self-inflated sense of importance in the eyes of friends and family, and without having to face the cold, hard, painful truth that all of us, you and me included, are flawed, fallible, and imperfect and because of this our lives are filled with many little and not-so-little fears.>>>

Just a quick anouncement about the SF Beta Birthday Bash on Tuesday Sep 25th. This is a great networking event for all up and coming internet entrepenuers. If you have start up or thinking of founding one, you might want to drop by to mingle with others, network and more. There are still a few tickets left I am told (free for founders).

My fears of turning my car in upon lease expiration. Someone I know recently turned their leased car in with approximately 3000 less miles than the 30,000 miles allowed under their lease, but did they get any credit for that under-usage? No sir!>>>

خانم فرح کریمی نماینده ایرانی پارلمان هلند در تارنمای روز آن لاین مطلبی در انتقاد از جنبش صلح و بی تفاوتی نسبت به خطر حمله به ایران نوشته اند که درد دل من هم هست البته نه لزوما با یک راهکار اما به باور من از یک نگاه یعنی بینشی که با نیستی در تقابل است و زندگی را ستایش می کند، سیستم ارزشی که فکر کنم آنرا در غرب یافته وبه آن خو گرفته ایم. >>>

I was thinking, wouldn't it be wonderful if thousands of gays marched down the Vali-E-Asr street in Tehran tomorrow and embarrassed the Islamic regime while this guy Ahmadinejad was still in New York!!! That would be awsome, wouldn't it? >>>

After age 14 or so, Ahmadinejad's sexual experience has been limited to monkeys; the species he most closely feels at home with. So, because his sex partners after adolesence have been chimps and other variety of primates, he cannot relate to homosexual behavior as it exist in the U.S. >>>
