نمی خواهم
نمی خواهمت ای نفت!
دیر زمانی می پنداشتم
که تو بر سر من می سوزی
اینک می بینم
که من بر سر تو می سوزم

How many nights this way I’ve spent
How many more will go misspent
A chance to dream wasted once more
Under this old and starless tent.
One spins a yarn, one twists a twine
And all awhile one waits in line
One weaves a cloth, be white it may
A newborn’s wrap, or shroud of mine. >>>

LIFE

Sunday, 9 p.m. - I am restless in this little apartment decorated in a way that only the 'Neuvo Riche' can manage to decorate. All the new accessories in the market…anything that is advertised…the hip and trendy … the whole apartment is making me feel out of place. In an attempt of protesting this vulgarity, I sit on the floor … no … I lay down on the floor and almost chain smoke my cigarettes … no Gitanes…they taste like shit … like 'Peshgel'. I stick to my Winston Lights, and pour down the cheap Vodka I have bought. Must be careful … soon I am out of my scholarship money and will be on the street, especially if I keep showing my contempt openly for this whole place. >>>
DEATH SENTENCE
03-Oct-2007 (17 comments)
Today my friend in Iran called me. She told me about the imminent execution of Ali Mahin Torabi, her nephew. He’s 21 years old, and he has been declared guilty of a murder he hasn’t committed. He has spent the last five years of his life—since he was 16 years old--in a prison, waiting for his execution... He is still full of life and hope but my friend sounded so desperate. She asked me to help Ali. I write this with that task weighing heavily upon my shoulders. Where to begin?>>>
INTERVIEW
03-Oct-2007 (one comment)
I wanted to poke a bit at Persian history and highlight my belief that many of the personal problems of the men in my book were actually ancient cultural problems that got a bit twisted through the filters of time. From the moment they were given their very DNA, even before they were tagged with their names, that very rich history was going to define their every step. It seems obvious but I think this is very different for many Americans, for instance, who often come from many different places—various European countries mixed with Native American blood, mixed with Black or Hispanic blood, etc.>>>
NOVEL
03-Oct-2007 (2 comments)
In the midst of winter, suddenly an early spring showed on the horizon. The sun stood at the equinox, the heat woke the nature from her deep sleep, the heap of snow slid down the domes, forming layers of ice over muddy streets which crunched under footsteps, melted and streamed down the brooks. Nature was yawning, stretching, brightening, birds were singing, flower buds rippling, farmers ploughing. All unaware that winter had not yet departed, but waited in the shade of the moon planning his next return. Should he suddenly decide to return, gale-force winds and snowstorms would regain life and an embargo would put the city under an icy siege>>>

یکی از وظایف عاجل ایرانیان مستقل و عدالت طلب حساسیت نشان دادن و به چالش کشیدن این فرومایگان تسلیم طلب و خود فروشان فکری است . این » استادان محترم « تحت تائثیر فرهنگ فکری نخبه گرایی بعنوان بخشی از فرهنگ نئولیبرالی کوشش میکنند با اشاعه چنین تفکراتی هرچه بیشتر امتیازات جامعه بشری را در انحصار طبقه نخبگان قرار دهند . اینان از طریق ارتباط با جوانان در دانشگاه ها و برگزاری سمینارهای مختلف و با زبان آکادمیک سعی دارند با شیوه های متفاوت فرهنگ شرق را زیر سئوال ببرند تا نهایتا نتیجه گیری کنند که ملل شرق و جنوب بدلیل جهل و نادانی است که امکان پیشرفت برایشان وجود ندارد.>>>

واقعا این تاسف انگیز نیست که در غیاب چنگیز پهلوان که از دست طالبان های ایرانی در تبعید بسر می برد زیبا کلام به نمایندگی استادان دانشگاه ایران در مجلس یادبود احمد شاه مسعود رهبر ملی افغانستان و ملقب به شیر دره پنجشیر که عمری را در مبارزه با طالبان گذرانده شرکت کند و طی سخنان گهرباری! نه تنها قاتلان او را تبرئه نماید بلکه برای مقتول نیز یک تکلیف در برابر قاتل معین نموده و یاران و همفکران او را به پیروی از قاتلان او فرا بخواند؟>>>
WAR

Few years ago, in soccer field my friends and I played for years, I got into a huge argument with the perfect picture of an American. Fierce supporter of Bush, back when his popularity was way up in the 40 percentile, with his eyes closed and one of those who believed then and the poor bastard who probably still thinks that Iraq had something to do with the 9/11. We were going at it heavily about, well, me being right and he being wrong. >>>
DISASTER

آخرین گزینه ی آنها، حتی اگر آراسته به پوشش قانونی شورای امنیت سازمان ملل باشد، اما شروع فاجعه برای ماست. حمله نظامی به ایران کور کردن گره دمکراسی در کشور است. جنگ مستبدان واقعی امروز را به قهرمانان دروغین فردا تبدیل خواهد کرد. از آزادی ستیزان و پایمال کنندگان حقوق بشر در ایران، شهید و مظلوم خواهد ساخت. آرامش و امنیت نسبی، خردگرایی و شعوری که لازمه ساختن دمکراسی و رشد نهادهای جامعه مدنی است را با خشونت، احساسات شدید ناسیونالیستی و شعارهای ضد امریکایی و ضد اسرائیلی جایگزین خواهد ساخت.>>>
PARENTS

Having watched the two of them all my life, I can say without the slightest hesitation that my maman starts 95% of the argurements my parents have. My dad, being laid back like he is, will let her shout and carry-on until he has had enough. He is like a volcano in that way. She'll keep on pushing him and pushing him verbally, knowing full well just how he will react and he keeps smiling and letting her vent, all-the-while repressing his temper until he reaches a point where it EXPLODES! That's when she knows its time to drop the subject, but too late, he is just getting started.>>>

The dangers to Iran posed by the Israeli lobby have come to light on this web site and in the blogger community. Juxtaposed to this lobby, is another dangerous force to Iranians, It is subtle, religiously driven and indirect. It is important to be aware of, considering the increase in tension and possibility of military action. It is mainly religiously driven. DC is home to a diverse neighborhood of “think-tanks”. The scholarly names and titles for these provide neat covers for the ugly work they are often responsible for>>>

آنشب مسعود آمد. بوسه ای روی لبانم نشاند و گفت كه خسته است. می خواستم او را بر سر شوق بياورم. آهنگی شاد و ايرانی گذاشتم و شروع كردم به رقصيدن. حركات من او را هم به جنبش در آورد و مرا بوسيد و در گوشم زمزمه كرد: "دوستت دارم". لحظه دادن اين خبر خوش فرا رسيده بود. در حالی كه گردنش را می بوسيدم آرام گفتم: "مسعودم من و تو بچه دار میشيم. خدا كنه شبيه تو بشه".>>>

We are, for the most part, law abiding, tax-paying citizens who are assets to our communities, but we tend to shy away from American politics, be apathetic to political developments, and disinterested in local elections. Why is that? Is it because over the past three decades each of us has been catapulted into this new land initially as a “temporary measure,” which turned into a serious, unplanned, and permanent reality? Is it because we see ourselves as “accidental emigrants,” not sure what to do now that we have stayed and have gone on to have children, businesses, and careers here?>>>
HOMOSEXUALITY
01-Oct-2007 (52 comments)
A few days ago, I was home minding my own business, eating my yogurt (as they say in Farsi/Persian) when a friend told me over the phone that Ahmadinejad had made a fool out of himself by saying that there are no gays in Iran. Because I don’t have cable television, I could not listen to Ahmadinejad’s talk at Columbia, live on TV. I had to trust that the president “gand zadeh” as my friend put it. She was upset not only because of Ahmadinejad’s alleged statement about the lack of homosexuals in Iran, but also because of Bollinger’s disrespectful and rude introductory remarks. >>>
