آخرین تانگو

فقط برای این آمده ای که از یاد من بکاهی ولی نمی توانی

از دیشب که از سر کار بر گشتم به فکر دیدن دوباره فیلم آخرین تانگو در پاریس افتادم .یک حس خوبی در دیدن دوباره ی آن به من دست می دهد و شاید هم این بهانه ای باشد که از تو بنویسم .با صدای گوشی ام از خواب بیدار می شوم ولی از خستگی دوباره به رویا می روم .پرنده کوچکی از دی شب لانه اش را کنار پنجره ام درست کرده و با نوکش دائما به شیشه می زند و من این دفعه بیدار می شوم .>>>

Despite millions of years of evolution, humans will fight

I guess there was a time when leaders, kings or generals, were in front, side by side, and in the trenches with their soldiers. Sure, they got the better horses, finer fire arms, had protection, got a tent with hot food, but they were there. They smelt the gun powder, saw the blood and were killed at times. Compare that with today's wars. Our leaders have a suit on, live in a mansion, have no idea how to fight and the only time they ever used a gun was in open range, at some pheasants who didn't shoot back. They are ordering "CH.... AAAAA... RRRRR...GGGE", when the only charge they have ever done was on dady's credit card.>>>

آقای میلانی! زمانی که ناصر زرافشان چهره جسور و مبارز و محبوب مردم ایران شما را بی صلاحیت ، بیسواد ،كسى كه با باد مى چرخد ، عمله فکری نظام مالی و فاقد صلاحیت ادبی می نامد، اینها توهین و پرخاش نیستند. به اینها ترور شخصیت نمی گویند. اینها ارزیابی منتقد از موضوع نقد می باشد. به اینها می گویند نقد سیاسی. پلیمیک و جدل سیاسی و یا اجتماعی مهمانی خانه عمه جان نیست که فقط قربان صدقه هم بروند. رسم و رسومش با مصاحبه های انحصاری که شما اینور و آنور راه می اندازید فرق دارد. این جا هدف هندوانه زیر بغل هم گذاشتن و تملق گوئی نیست . اینجا نقد است و جدل و چالش >>>

Foreigners plotting against Iran?!

We have been unable to adopt Western values that have been far more superior

by Ben Madadi

India was colonised by Britain for a very long time. As a result India is a democracy. I sincerely believe that the reason India is a democracy is because it was colonised by Britain. So, colonisation has not been that bad for India. If you ask me, I wish America comes today and colonise Iran, change it into an American state actually, and deprive me of my desire to have Azerbaijanis and other minority groups given special rights that they are entitled to (as I believe). I would be happiest. God forbid, this doesn't mean anything but a hypothetical fantasy, because in reality nothing but war would come out of it.>>>

What will you do after America destroys Iran?

Do whatever you can to prevent this from happening

TEHRAN, Iran -- What’s the connection between; the theft of the 2000 Gore-Bush election, Cheney’s secret meeting with oil executives, September 11th 2001, the invasion of Iraq, and plans for destroying Iran’s military defenses and setting it’s economy back 50 years? The connection is Peak Oil. If you have not figured this out and are still lost in your hatred for the mullahs, or still worshiping the Pahlavi’s, or are part of the Rajavi cult, then you are in for a very rude awakening.>>>

Sunshine fills the living room of a deluxe apartment in sunny Santa Monica, California, as I sit here enjoying the remaining 4 days of my vacation. Watching ‘Mystic Pizza’ with Julia Roberts (Circa 1988), with occasional mysterious clicking sounds coming from what I presume to be the sink area. I’m hungry. I begin to think what I could whip-up using the few ingredients available in the home of a young, high-protein eating, married couple who tend to eat out a majority of the time….Not much to work with, I can tell you. Having been granted free reign over the kitchen by my generous hosts, I am allowed to do as I wish in their exquisite kitchen>>>

Charkh-o-Falak

Summer days in Tehran

The big Charkh-o-Falak was visible from our small kitchen window, where I would sit for hours during the long summer afternoons and evenings of Tehran in the 1980's. I watched the kids on the streets play soccer or just look at the Charkh-o-Falak, be lost in its magic, hoping that my Dad would come home any minute after work and take me there. I can still hear the happy screams of children who were riding the big Charkh-o-Falak. >>>

آقای لاریجانی اگر زحمت زیادی نیست محبت بفرمائید و در پیشگاه اهل تحقیق و صاحبنظران و در فضای باز اینترنت نشان بدهید در کدامین برهه و کدام مورد بهائیان با "کسانی که با جان و مال مردم این سرزمین تعرض می کنند" "دوستی و مهربانی و عدم سخت گیری" نشان داده اند؟ در کدام زمان و مکان زنان بهائی در روابط جنسی متعدد "آزادانه" عمل کرده اند. آیا بی بند و باری جنسی و فساد اخلاقی بی سابقه کنونی ایران نتیجه سیاستگذاری و روشهای بهائی است یا آموزه های اسلامی؟ چرا پس از بیش از ربع قرن حکومت اسلامی فحشا و اعتیاد در ایران بی داد می کند>>>

Worse than Islamic fundamentalism

Aryanism, a threat to Iran and the region

by Ben Madadi
17-Sep-2007 (58 comments)
Western governments, especially the US administration, must think many times before wishing for the annihilation of the Iranian Islamic government. Although the IRI is a relatively dangerous one it has not proved yet prepared to do anything serious other than annoying Israel. Such fundamentalist regimes are usually more in danger of implosion than being destroyed by an outside force, so time may just be enough to solve what is seen as an imminent threat. The same also happened with Communism, which was far more dangerous than Iranian Islamism. Many Iranians, and Westerners alike, hating the Islamic regime of Iran, for simply being Islamic, do not contemplate about what is going to replace it.>>>

FOOTBALL

My favorite sport

Interview with Reza Pahlavi

I have to say that football (or soccer, as it is called here) was definitely my favorite team sports. I played the game, along with my classmates, during most of our school years. I would not be exaggerating if I said that we played over 250 days a year! I have many good memories of playing; not only with my classmates, but also joining an impromptu game with people I would meet during my travels around the country. For instance, playing with locals on Kish Island, our in an Air Force base in Ahvaz, or some village kids in Kalardasht. The best memories are from the practice sessions we used to have in Sa’ad Abbad with members of the Iranian National Team!>>>

Love at first site

It’s like playing Tetris in three dimensions all day long

by Saman Ahmadi

I had waited for this moment for a long time - ever since I was a little boy, my father would take me to construction sites. I have vivid memories of the slender, brown, glazed tiles in the stairwell of the seven story office building my father built in Tehran more than thirty years ago. I have vague recollections of him and his architect trying to figure out how to add a second basement after the building was nearly completed - something which they did while everyone held their breath. I remember going to pick out land with my parents and my sister for a house in a new development west of the city - Tract 103. I remember going to the Design Architect’s office with my dad. >>>

I plan to write a whole bunch of new e-mails before I depart

Writers often talk about the urge to write their sudden inspirations on whatever comes handy, and frankly, I don’t really care to know how many bestsellers were conceived on a roll of toilet paper. I never experienced such urge, at least not until 4:00 a.m. this morning. Amid allergies that made breathing impossible and reminded me of imminent mortality, a sudden discovery flashed in my mind. Millions of visions of what may come once we die appeared before me, none of which had to do with sorrow, fear, or even regret. In fact, it was a most optimistic moment, so uplifting that by 4:11 I was out of bed and at my computer.>>>
