منتظری،روحانی که در برابر خمینی ایستاد

آیت الله منتظری اگرچه خود از بنیانگذاران ولایت فقیه در ایران پس از انقلاب بود اما در راه جدا کرده ی خود از خمینی بود که دریافت این سیستم کارایی ندارد و گرچه هرگز با صراحت از رد اصل ولایت فقیه که زمانی از حامیان جدی آن بود سخنی به میان نیاورد اما با موضع گیری ها و سخنرانی ها و نیز نامه ی تاریخی خود پیش از فاجعه ی ملی تابستان 67 نشان داد که جای او نه در کنار ولایت فقیه که در کنار مردم است>>>

FOOD

The important jewel

One can only hope that Mumbai's historic Parsi restaurant will live on

My visits to Mumbai, nay India, tend to be centred on visits to Britannia restaurant. (If my plane from Goa arrives later than 2pm, it means waiting until 12 o’clock the next day to eat. It’s well worth not eating for three days in advance in order to stock up like a camel at Britannia.) In fact, those who come to India for spiritual experiences surviving on a plate of dal, prayers, and sweeping an ashram at the crack of dawn baffle me – the closest I have come to a spiritual experience in this great country is the explosion that occurs halfway through a plate of sali boti – diced lamb>>>

STORY

The Conversation

Sometimes at night I felt like Tehran and San Francisco would speak to each other

24-Dec-2009
The dream was a moment, as best as I can remember. It was at Pike Place Market in Seattle. It was late in the evening, around closing time. The cobblestone streets were wet but it had stopped raining, and the day's crowd had thinned out to the market workers and a few last shoppers. The lights of the shops and stalls lit up the night, and I was saying my goodbyes after work, with a little bag of groceries in my hand. In the dream I was vaguely Italian, in the way that Iranians find themselves vaguely Italian when they try to find themselves in American stories>>>
