KARAMANIA

Tehrani -Kermani

Most of us, whom call ourselves "Tehranis", are originally from another city(our parents or grandparents), but to accept and confess it, is sometimes hard for some Tehranis'!!!.
That is what happens to our next generation in USA(American-Iranian)!!I hope they will be proud of being an Iranian too.

I ,like my brother Ebi,am also proud to have such a lovely parents who born & raised in Kerman.Although they came to Tehran when they were young,they have never changed their accent to Tehrani and they tought us the good behaivour of Kermanis'[ to be "Mehmannavaz and bashardoust"].

Kerman is one of the most important city which exports many non-oil based things and makes lots of foreign exchange. some of them to mention is: pistashio nuts, Citruse, Date, carpets, copper (Messe Sarcheshmeh), Pateh and Termeh.

Kerman has many historical places to visit such as:
Baghe Shazdeh(Mahan), Shah Nematollah (Mahan), Arg Bam(Old & New), Bazar, Hamame Ganjalikhan, Coin Musume, which many people from around Iran and the world visit every year, and one of our famouse poet, Khajou Kermani's Tomb is in Shiraz which is another historical place in Iran.

Kerman is well known for its beautiful sky at nights so you see thousands of stars in the sky like they are very close to the earth.

Kerman has many famouse people as Ebi mentioned before.

Kerman has many universities in different science field.

Kerman well known pastry and cookies are: Kolompeh, Komache Sen, Ranginak, Noone charkhi, pofak(white),Bread(Noone Roghani and Noone Barbarie Kerman),
and Falodeh Kermani(specially the one in Bazar).
Kerman's foods are: Bozghormeh(Goat meat with Kashk and beans),Kababe Koubideh, Kababe mahitabeh(very delicouse), and many others.

But unfortunately Agha Mohamadkhan made a generation of Kermany people blind with ordering to take their eyes out and made a generation blind in Kerman!!!

I have many reletives and friends in Kerman whom I miss.

Best Wishes

Are you for real? I’m not sure what part of Iran you visited but as far as I know, in Baneh, Marivan, Kermashan, Zahedan, Saravan, situations in terms of human rights and economics is just getting worst. So the system has interfered in their ordinary life.

Nice

Dear Ebi

What a beautiful video and an impressive list.

Thanks for introducing your city to the rest of us who did not have the pleasure.

Iran is free. Not as free as we would like it to be, but free enough. Much more than Shah's time, except the drinking in public part. To visit any cities in Iran besides Northern Tehran, you would not see much of the difference what kind of government is ruling. People live and always live the way they have lived regardless of the system. Go back to Iran and visit our beautiful country to realize what I am saying.

Don't Listen to Shaholahis, they are confused and clueless.

Thanks!

I am a proud Kermani. I always hear good comments about Kermanian.
Unfortunately, the previous & of course current govenments have not pay attention to this city as they do to other cities like Tehran & Esfehan. Kerman is very rich province which produces pistashio nuts, Kerman carpets and also copper mines are located in this city.
I hope in my life time to see all Iranian cities get equal attention.

Tehrony or Kermony, you are an Irany

Nice video clip. Kerman is a very nice city and I think is one of the oldest city in Iran. It has also the largest zoroasterian community in Iran and that is wonderful to have such a great people (true Iranian) in Kerman.
