Smoke Free Environment, Official Apologies!

Weather report: today morning we had some snow at the beginning of the day. Later sun came out and it is getting quite cold around Tehran. It is the forecast to have rain and snow until Monday. Temperature is around 0 to 5 degrees.

2. Smoke free environment: Something has been constantly bothering me in Tehran: People who smoke right beside you in indoor environments. I have been exposed to cigarette smoke in many places to name a few houses, taxi, hospitals and many other public areas. The funny thing is when the smokers see that smoke is bothering me, they would ask: Do you get bothered by the smoke? When I reply: yes! They say, don’t worry, Tehran air is more polluted than the smoke you receive from this cigarette and they usually continue smoking!!! I really miss North America in this respect. Almost all public areas were smoke free environment!! This afternoon, I had been invited to Iranplast convention in Iran international Exhibition Place. If you wonder what is Iranplast. It is a convention related to all industries involved with plastic materials and manufacture. I went to one of the booths that a friend who had invited me. A cool dude was right there beside me who started to smoke. I showed my uncomforted face to him however; he just smiled and continued to smoke. The good part was that he took off and left about a few seconds!

3. I am not sure how many have seen the movie called Devil's advocate. There is a scene in it that Al Pacino tells: Vanity is definitely my favourite sin.
This was an introduction to tell something about myself. I took a long walk in this chilly day to reflect my journey in past few months. A while ago a good friend asked me a question. I had two choices: tell the truth; do not tell anything and move on! However, I took the question and twisted it and then answer it the way I wished to be heard!! I know this is called telling lie! Volia. This is, of course, an inhonorable act!! I never did such an act before and people who know me know this fact (perhaps telling this is worst than not saying it). Now the truth is revealed, I know you would say now: I feel regret. So, I feel I owe her an official apology. So, here I offer my deepest regret about this issue and officially apologize for anything I did. Perhaps, putting it up in public may help to clear the air.
and I dedicate this song of michael Jackson to all and specially to myself:

There's A Place In
Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could
Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need
To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel
There's No Hurt Or Sorrow

There Are Ways
To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place...

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

If You Want To Know Why
There's A Love That
Cannot Lie
Love Is Strong
It Only Cares For
Joyful Giving
If We Try
We Shall See
In This Bliss
We Cannot Feel
Fear Or Dread
We Stop Existing And
Start Living

Then It Feels That Always
Love's Enough For
Us Growing
So Make A Better World
Make A Better World...

Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me

And The Dream We Were
Conceived In
Will Reveal A Joyful Face
And The World We
Once Believed In
Will Shine Again In Grace
Then Why Do We Keep
Strangling Life
Wound This Earth
Crucify Its Soul
Though It's Plain To See
This World Is Heavenly
Be God's Glow

We Could Fly So High
Let Our Spirits Never Die
In My Heart
I Feel You Are All
My Brothers
Create A World With
No Fear
Together We Cry
Happy Tears
See The Nations Turn
Their Swords
Into Plowshares

We Could Really Get There
If You Cared Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
To Make A Better Place...

You And For Me
You And For Me
