Something to think about!

1. I was thinking about this sentence: God is a concept that we measure our pain with!

2. Thanks To Narges who sent me this link. This is a link to the famous book " Little Prince" by

My Opinion on Nuclear Activities of Iran

It has been about 1 year + we hear news about this game of cat and mouse between Iran and the rest of the world and world objection to Iran nuclear activities and all the negotiations that are taking place in this regard.
I really sometimes wonder about human being nature and his/her tendency to gain power. Sometimes this is considered to be a good nature. However, I personally do not think this is same as nuclear power.
I was just reading the following article in BBC. It makes me to wonder why so many Iranians feel that Iran should have nuclear enrichment program or nuclear capability to generate energy!
There are couples of real issues here, which we have not really dealt with them, yet.
One would be the fact that what do we wish to do with nuclear waste remaining from enrichment process?
Have we looked at our working force and their work consciousness? With lack of safety standard and ethical rules are we hoping to see another Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. The other day I was thinking, as I have already written about it in previous articles in this weblog, in Iran we have dilemma with disposing paint or chemical paints! We do not even follow the Basel Protocol when it comes to disposing chemical materials, which are harmful to the environment. Having said that I wonder what do we wish to do with nuclear waste. Perhaps disposing them in either Caspian Sea or Persian Gulf!
Consequently, we will be exposed to nuclear radiation and as a result, generations will be handicapped. I am not sure is this what really we wish to have? Considering Iran has ability to produce energy from free and clean sources, such as sun and wind and thermo geologic sources. In Iran on average we receive more than 200 days per year sunny days. So, Sun would be a great resource to generate tax free, clean energy for us than nuclear power with so many headaches!

Iranians the judgmental type!

1. Have you ever noticed how much judgmental we are as soon as we encounter somebody! No matter from what background s/he is, we start to judge them and release a verdict. This is even, in my opinion worse, when it comes to Iranians in general. We have this tendency to judge and gossip as much as possible! I just read part-1 of the story that Mr. Siamack Baniamri written and felt, this is exactly what I mentioned above!! He is lawyer in USA.
...
Okay, picture this: you walk into a party full of elite Iranian expatriates. The guest list is made of Jews, Bahais, Moslems, and some Christians. The party is tame yet chic. Brandy in one hand, Cuban cigar in the other, the talk is all about real state. Some say buy and some say sell. Guests are well-bred, sophisticated, and a bit snobby. The assembly is made up of thriving individuals who wear their money and drive their money, and occupy $5-million mansions.... Read the rest of the story

Cute, isn't it? This is a baby belong to a friend of mine!

3. Depression anyone? This is a test tells you whether you are depressed or not:) (In Persian)

4. Sometimes I daydream. I dream of days of past. Dream of being everywhere. Dream of how things could change if I had chosen different path.
As a big fan of John Lennon, I was just listening to lyrics of "In my life". I felt the song is so nicely written that I would like to keep repeating it with myself. enjoy:)

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Old friend...

After a few weeks I came across Orkat and list of my friends. By looking at faces of some of my old friends I realized how things has changed throughout these years. Suddenly, I recalled the song "Old Friend" from Chris de Burgh. So, enjoy it:-)

Old friend, so you're in trouble again, you ask me today,
To try and find a little time, and maybe buy a glass of wine,
Old friend, I'm coming through...

Old friend, yes I remember you, always a smile on your face,
Oh a memory from years before, an old man and a little boy,
Old friend, I remember you...

You used to take me fishing down by the wishing well,
One day you threw a wish in, and we listened while it fell,
And you made a wish...

"When the years are heavy, and my heart is growing cold,
Well I wish when the evening comes that there'll always Be...
Some old friend who'll miss me too..."

Well I do, so friend I'm coming through...
Yes, for you I'll always find the time, we will have a bottle
Of wine, old friend, I'm here by your side, oh, to the very end,
Old friend ... I miss you too ... my dear old friend...
Old friend ... old friend...
