we all love you and commend all your sacrificing efforts.
welcome back to life.

kids, the real grown-ups

when she was 4-5, i used to tease her saying:"don't be in a hurry to grow up, sweetie, stay a lil' kid, it's so cooolll !!"
she used to answer:"but i do wanna grow as soon as i can; i wanna be a grown-up, aunt, it's even cooooolller."

now being almost 10, i was talking to her on the phone the other day and reminded her of this, she replied:"yeah, i do remember it, aunt. and i miss my childhood(!!) now."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never ask a lady her age!

many years back

i was born

on such a day;

quite by chance!

 ...

but don’t want to be re-born

as a human.

never ever!

enlightenment

many years after her death, no woman yet has come, as outspoken, analytically clear and humanistically beautiful as Forough.
today, i had a great chance to see the green coldness (sard-e sabz) and the crest of a wave (owj-e mowj) about Forough, both by Saffarian.

Thanks to my lovely brother for sending them to me.

i don't know why it's so hard for me to believe the honesty of this guy, even now!

nothing went the way

it seemed.

nothing

is worth wishing now

when

nothing is going to be the way

it's supposed to seem.   12-aug-05

he describes the present situation appropriately, but i don't agree with his anticipation that much...
if the hardliners start to fall apart(as there are lil' traces of fights over authority and positions among them these days!!), the anarchy and chaos will pervade soon in iran and the result...?!
plus, it seems that they, before strating to critique the plans and strategies of the new government, will bring up situations in which they have to just respond to international pressures and/or to find ways to get away with their unclear,unwise,undiplomatic moves vs. the world (as their haste for nuclear programs proves it right now!)...

anyway, we'll see...!
