Me, My Nose and I



1. First of all, I took the first photo from internet AFP. It is showing an Spanish woman in Spanish attire before getting ready for Eastern ritual! I was in Spain for a conferece in 2005 and didn't see a woman like that picture above!! How come I don’t see such a woman around me, either:))!!!



2. I have a dilemma! It is my nose! Yes, that is the problem. I have quite sensitive nose, so I can smell thins from a distance or close proximity and even distinguish many different scents! I first realized that when I was a little kid! I could tell who have been where or has hugged or kissed whom by just their scents that was remained by them.
In Canada, my friends were first observed this skill when I was sitting with them in a study room of our university! Something is burning, I told them! They looked at me in disbelief! What are you talking about, they asked me! I replied, believe me something is burning or already burnt! So, about 6 minutes later, we hear the sounds of siren of the fire ware cars and realizing one of the laboratories in the chemical department had an accident. They couldn’t contain it and the fire was extending!
Considering that was about 1000 meter away! So, starting that day my friends were calling me Hunter!
So, for the past few months my sense of smell got once again more activate than usual! Now, I can smell people’s body, whether they have washed their hands or hair have been out of washroom for instance!
This is not so comfortable to reek since some of those scents you wish not to smell may give a strong visualization say perspiration!
Having said that, a few days ago there is this girl in my office who is very clean and smells always like perfume. However, with all those perfume and cream she applies, she walked in and I asked have you been in the washroom? She looked me in blush, and said yes!!! How do you know, She asked!!!


III. The comedy of capturing 15 British Marine by Iranian government finished in happy ending!
drawing couple of conclusion:

Normal conclusion: They were PAW and were released before the 48 hours ultimatum ends!

Iranian conclusion: It was Iranian new year, everywhere was closed and on holidays for 2 weeks so no one was around to release them that is why it took so long! (13 days or so!)

Iranian media conclusion: In an stratogic move of Mr. President A. N. we ended up on the top, in this senario, no one can move!!!

English Media + H.D. and Gurdian and Skynews: English Marine were there to gather information! didn't I say that, HD says:)!

People's Conclusion: The Marine's got brand new suits plus scarf, the Iranian commander got bravery medal and Iranian and British people got entertained!!

Cartoons ...


Many people recall their own childhood by those cartoons they saw. One of them for me was Barbapapa. So, I was passing by a book store a few days ago, I saw the above placard behind their display. I took the photo. One fascinating aspect of Barbapapa cartoons for me was that they could turn to almost anything they wish and get theri things going. I believe this aspect was there to show to the kids that nothing is for ever and things can be changed to benefit us. I think again this is a political statment. So things can change and we should become used to them.
So, good old days to watch, Sinbad and Galiver.:)

Iran in delimma!

1. I was reading my post two days ago! as I said for many of my posts I only spend about 15 to 20 minutes. In that particular post I was watching a movie, talking to my house mate and typing simultaneously! So, that is why it may doesn't make much of sense!!:) but I think I conveyed my idea!!:D

2. I was reading Mohammad Ali Abtahi web page, about his opinion on Iranian negotiating team at UN, I begin to wonder about it.
According to my research, here my 2-cent:
American politicians know what they are doing. (no kidding!) you may wonder!

They are very nicely pushing Iranian to the corner according to UN articles!

According to CHAPTER SEVEN, Iran is currently passed article 39, breach of peace;
article 40; "measures recommended against the country under breach of peace", and "implementing those sanctions partially or completely", article 41!
So, next will come Article 42 which I think everyone can easily read: ...it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security.

So, good job team of negotiators. well done. I think they need cheers and tap on shoulder!!

Grey's Anatomy vs Dr. House

I wish to write some of my opinion of Grey's Anatomy and Dr. House.

i. Yes, I know I am a freak TV series watcher, especially drama one! May be I am living in my own drama! For the past few months I have been watching both series on and off bases. Of course, compare to the ‘old’ ER (which I don’t know whether it is sill shown in North America or no) both series are considered cheese!
Grey’s anatomy, however, in my opinion portrays a soup-opera ambient full of love triangles (Ellen Pompeo, Chris O’Donnell, and Patrick Dempsey), and dilemma with love and lost! How they deal with those issues. The conversations may try to deliver the main stream conversation among successful young generations; however they don’t well and realistically deliver those conversations. It seems the entire hospital is made of these group of talented residence and inters who are almost covering every aspect of the hospital dilemma. Despite the perjury of the one of the interns ended up killing two patients in heart transplanted surgery, the women is coming back to work and stands in front of the hospital building, where surprisingly can be seen from inside by many collogues and gazes at the building the entire day until one of his classmates goes to talk to her and put a jacket on her!! The side of the medical related terms I think is the least compare to all other such series! So, focus is love life of Dr. Meredith Grey’s.

On the other hand, despite cheesiness of Dr. House series, I think the actors seem more professional and versatile. The dialogues are performed at richer level which you usually expect from Doctors, although they are usually short of real medical conversations. They are richer in words as well. The writers have tendency to cover varieties of theme from love to existence of god and faith. Just today, very likely this episode is old and already shown in North America, there was in today's episode a controversial opinion whether god exist or not. They focused on the fact that there is an explanation for every phenomena occurring. On the other hand, let those who are believer stay believer. Tell them the truth and prove to those restricted religious that we are mortal! Whereas a simple conversation from those strange believers may hint you up for something as you may wonder all along!

ii. Today, I notice many sites are promoting Mohsen Namjoo and his newly video clip called Tresses in the Wind. You can also read about him at kosoof.com

New year, no resolution!


1. I usually make resolution for anything including new year. but those resolutions never realized. So, this year no resolution! take me where the life goes!!

2. I heard: you can shake your ass but not shake your root! attention Alireza (I am talking to myself!)

3. today, the entire day was snowing, so I took the above photo! now in spring here is getting cooler!:D end of the world as we know it!!

4. I was going to complain about work! but hey what shall be done, this is the path I chose so, be it!

5. Yesterday, I was coming back in a train. In the compartment I was sitting there were kids from 8 to 13. These young boys were so noisy to my eyes that I was almost going to get crazy and and scream at them! to my surprise all others in that area were doing their own thing without even moving eye lashes! conclusion, I am impatient, kids are not good for me!

Noorooz shad bad


Naafase bad e saba moshk feshan khahad shod
Aalame Pir degar bareh javan khahad shod
Arghavan jam e aghighi be samaan khahad dad,
Cheshme narges be shaghayegh negaran khahad shod
Hafez

This is my favorite poem for the new year. I recall reciting the above poem part of was part of reading from our Persian language book on 12 of our highschool years. It somehow making me happy to recall that.

Talking about grade 12 of Persian book, my favorite title and story was the first lecture from Golestane Saadi which was talking about:

Harnafasi keh Fooro miravad momede hayate ast
va chon bar miyayad mofarahe zat
pas dar nafasi 2 nemat ast va bar har nafasi shoori vajeb!

of course I can't recall the entire story, but...
ok let's get back to the reasoning of this post.
I WISH EVERY ONE A HEALTHY AND HAPPY iRANIAN NEW YEAR AHEAD
NOOROOZ SHAD VA DOROOD AFARIN BAD:)

P.S. If anyone can type the above peom in Persian I would be happy to have it. thanks. (THanks to Molla Hassani I think I should be able to write it now!:))

p.s.1. the photo above is from my second time skiing this year. Due to lack of snow and being busy not so much of chance to go skiing.
Today the snow wasn't bad, I took this picture from one of the black run. I think if you look closely you shall see the slope of the run and how steep it is.:)

p.s.2. I hope this year we Iranians avoid lying, increase our tolerances and respect each other opionions.

shad bashin
Be happy

Days Of Song & Sorrow


1. A good friend of mine sent me the above poster, he himself is great Dr.
What shall I say! I think just laugh loud to express myself!

2. As I always say Iran's today has many problems. We have been lagging behind the world community because of many reasons to name a few cultural, religious suppression and lack of tolerance towards one another. So, here I am not sociologist to do any major analysis. My intention is to give my own point view:-)

3. I am big fan of Faramarz Aslani . I saw in BBC that him and Babak Amini have started a joint project. This is great news and I hope I hear soon some of their duet work.
have a look at this photo.
These days the work is uite difficult and seems time is flying! I am lagging behind!
we shall see....

Sad and remorseful!

I feel sad! I feel down! why, you may ask?! simply because Iranians, in particular young Iranians, have noone to look after them! you may wonder what am I talking about!?
simple, today the world has become much closer than ever before. We are in global village per say. We have European Union, consists of old Eastern Eurpean countries like Poland and Czech Republic. New economic powers like China and U.A.E. All young people from these countires get to go to the different coutries for vacation, interacting with other cultures and building up friendships!
Today for example, the colleague of mine who is from Poland just came back from Poland. She has got a multiple visa to stay in US for 2 years as a visitor. How she got it? She got the visa within 3 days while she was back!!! and how is that working for Iranians? For young Iranians in particular?
This Chinese guy who works in one of our Institute's departments who many have hardtime to understand what he says, and has heavy chinse accent, tells me:
Oh,I Me... travol,...whole [entire] Europe in summer! me shood see the [e]urope! [Yo]u [are] from Ilaqe[Iraq]? No,... [yo]u a[re]l from ahan Ilan [Iran]...!!! Anyhow, so many young talented Iranians in Iran wish to spend a short period of time outside of Iran to do internship.However, they are unable to do so!!

Satire with current State government!

I am not sure if many find what is going on in current government looks more like a satire than anything else. The way they talk is quite amusing! I take your attention to two news from Baztab.
Please you be the judge!

الهام: احمدي‌نژاد در حال شكوفا شدن اس
غلامحسين الهام در گفت‌وگو با همشهري تأكيد كرد: شايد واقعا احمدي‌نژاد بعد از انتخابات احمدي‌نژاد ديگري شده باشد و شايد فردا هم احمدي‌نژاد ديگري در راه باشد.

سپاه و بسيج 340 ميليون متر مربع فضاي سبز ايجاد كردند
فرمانده كل سپاه اضافه كرد: تنها در يك مورد از اين اقدامات، خواهران بسيجي در استان گلستان، 600 هزار نهال توليد كردند. همچنين در اين مدت بيش از 5 ميليون اصله نهال توسط بسيجيان توليد شده !!

The life of mine! Stereo vision!


photos taken from last night lunar eclipse with digital camera with no zoom lens!!

0. I usually don't get so much opinionated on religious issues! but I read that a few days ago in a 11 years old girl Muslim student was not allowed to participate in a soccer game in Laval, Que., because she was wearing a hijab, a headscarf worn by many Muslim women. The Quebec Soccer Association said the ban on hijabs is to protect children from being accidentally strangled.
Read the Story here.
I understand she wishes to save her from being seen by those who are not supposed to see her. but I think like any tradition and religious ceremony, football has also its own rules and when they say it is dangerous to wear any extra clothing, that is the rule. Either don't play or if you play comply with the rules!

0.0.I know in Toronto area there is big winter storm! but here it has been raining constantly for past 10 days and it will rain more! but I missed Toronto, Canada. I think that is my home!

1. I can see my readers are getting less and less, so I think I can start to write things happening here in my life more often! So, I can review them later in my life!

So, before anyone reads further, I have to warn that the following writings are about my own life and in eyes of too many viewers are boring and nonsense!

After a few months I got an appointment at the University hospital to have a checkup on my right eye. My appointment was at 10 am. I arrived around 9:30 am. After usual paper work I went straight to waiting area.
While sitting in the waiting area, many memories passed in scenic form in front of my eyes. My right eye accident when I was only 7 years of age, operations, seeing my parents aging so fast behind my operating room, years of wearing contact lens and glasses, difficulty to wear them, those years due to Iran sanction there was no solution to buy to preserve contact lenses, etc. Then, I came to think how clean and neat this hospital is compare to Iranian hospitals. The pleasant gesture of the nurses and doctors. The other fact was to see all residents’ specialist were women except one. Observing, I was the only young person in the waiting area sitting there among all other elderly patients. I start to day dream if there is possibility for me to simply see stereo!
Where was I? It all started with a visit to the local lens fitter and he diagnosed me with internal infection and some white spot. After two months of curative follow up I was told that my condition is back to normal. Therefore, I may go fit a new contact lens. The doctor asked me if I am comfortable with the contact lens. I told him I wish to see if there is a possibility of lens transplant. She referred me to the university hospital to be seen by a specialist!
Herrn Alireza A..., I felt someone was calling my name. I got up and shoock hand with the madam Dr. and she started to review the file and check up everything possibly about my eye from pupil to cornea and retina. After one hour of diagnostic, she said I should be seen by the head of the department who does this type of job. It is not up to her to decide.
I finally see the gentleman, head of department the Oberarze. Here it went our conversation with an almost 50 years old looking man with Tom cruise hair style and big belly.
After a short review of my file,

Dr.: Wie so willest du ein implant haben?
Me: wie bittle? Wie So?! Es functioniert fuer mich besser! Shall I explain that in English!
Dr.: Yes, said him with smile, you may but you should pay taxes for that!
Me: Firstly, I have been wearing contact lens for the past 25 years, it has been too long, secondly, my work is somehow that I have to read long hours, I am tired of removing my contact lens and getting head aches afterwards. It seems my functionally is only during those hours of the day when I wear my contact lens. Thirdly, I wish to reduce my double vision and see stereo!!

Dr.: we can do it, but you won’t be able to throw away your double vision and it is risky! So, you’d better not do it.
If you get infection of retina or inside and can’t be done anything then we shall do it! You see with contact lens 90%! Many people wish just to see a little. So, have a nice day!!

2. Yes! I am happy to see those I know previously or dated become successful in their life and move on. So, you don’t become jealous if you see them with other guys dating! No, why should I? If I don’t date them and they are happy, why shouldn’t I become happy on their happiness! but I can’t, I still become jealous when I see my exs with new girls, She said to me!

3. I have finally realized that I am in state of something known as bad characteristics which are leading to my bad attitudes. Those desperately need to be improved. So, calculating all those years I need to improve myself, I never can do that in my current life and the time I have. Therefore, I should never start a family and let firstly anyone suffer from these bad attitudes, secondly, preventing my bad genes from transforming to the next generations by reproducing!!!

Mystery is ...: Iran!

1. I think for many, including myself, Iran is considered a mysterious country! A land of contradiction! A land of mishmash (meaning everything can be found there!).
I came across the work of Paolo Woods. it is a photo essay about Iran. I think it worth viewing it.

2. More and more things getting messed up in regard of Iran nuclear ambitious.
On all tv and radio channels you see there is talk when and how US will attach Iran!
Once again attaching Iran with Nuclear bombs is discussed!
Read the folloing transcript from CNN, it scared the hell out of me!
I don't want see Isfahan, Shiraz or other cities become ground zero!

Getting Opinionated!

1. After a few weeks once again I am getting serious in regard of what is going on around Iran.

Today, UN has accepted that Iran has not complied with UN resolution after 60 days deadline. I wonder how come the Iranian state does not understand the depth of what is taking place? US has mobilized almost the entire world against Iran because of Iran nuclear activities, regardless of its truth whether is for energy use or else. Of course, many may say that Islamic Republic (IR) survives through creating enemy and showing that world is against them! Let’s accept this theory. What makes me wonder why west is complying with request of Iranian state, then?
Who will benefit/detriment from implying broader sanction on Iran? Of course nobody except ordinary Iranians!

No regime members or people who may have the connections will be feeling any disadvantages! So, what is the point! conspericy theory, perhaps?! Isn't that better to supply and give everything to Iran and then sit and watch if they can do any good?!

It is even deeper satire some people, like Mr. Derekhshan, say if a war between Iran and US start, they (he) will go back and defend Iran against US!
Although this is very nice of them, those who think like Mr. D. will be arrested as soon as they put their feet on Iran soil. Considering this doesn’t happen, why would they only consider defending Iran during a war? Why don’t they defend Iranian people right now!
Defend Iran against sanction! Voice out Iranian people, those who don’t have any voices! A definite right of us is not only nuclear power;
there is no need to advocate Iranian right to have nuclear bomb! Iranian definitve right is also having clean air in Tehran, proper job for young, pension for elderly!

Anyhow, destruction brings nothing! Nuclear energy also brings nothing for us at current events when we have such wide range of green energy!

2. Zig Zag is a internet magazine which is for those who are apparently studying Journalism.
They have this article about a comic strip of Iranians outside of Iran. I loved the characters! I think it truly resemebles Iranian community abroad!
read it here.
Ahah, Bachehaye sharifi is the greatest:D

Me, Chinese and myself!

1. Not sure how many of people recall father and son stories in German?!
This Chinese housemate of mine and I have got our own stories! Besides the food; I wish to write something about his attitude!

I am not sure if I mentioned this gentleman is about 42 years of age and is doing post doctorial work at our institute! Recently, a Chinese student has come to our institute to work in one of our departments. As a traditional job of this Chinese roommate of mine he had invited him for a dinner. So, the entire night they eat and talked. I'd better say my housemate talked and the other guy moved his head as an affirmative acceptance!

Dinner ingredients: vegetables plus horse meat! (This horse meat has its own story which I will write about it little later)

So, this event is finished and I was on Friday in Zurich to see a contact lens specialist! on my way back in a station after Zurich I met the same young Chinese guy who get on the train and coincidently sits in front of me! Seeing a plastic bag written on it with Chinese signs conceived me that he is back from Chinese shop!
so, our conversation goes like this:

me: hello , said I and pulled up my sun glasses so he could see me and recognize me!
young Chinese: looking at me with disbelief!
me: have you recognized me?
YC: looks closely, yoooouuu yooouuuu ar theeee...
Me: yes I am Dong's housemate!
YC: jumping to my words, Ahoooa, yes, you are teachers, Dong Zhong roommate!
me: excuse me, what do you call Dongs? (I wonder why he called him teacher!)
YC: Teacher! what you call him?
me: Dong! why teacher, if I may ask!
YC: because he is-OHA-tea-cher in university! you ha-ve teachers in university isn't it?
me: ahan, teacher, yes you can call them teachers! but why is he teacher at university!?
YC: Oh, as he told me, he is teacher at university in China and he is here for a post doctorial position for past 2.5 years!
me: looking with exclamation in my eyes! ahan! But he has been here for more than 2.5 years and if he is a teacher on sabbatical shouldn't he go back by now to China?!
YC: no, he stay as long [as], he wants but he go[es] in short time back, S—ix mon—ths and come!

I started to think; according to this Chinese housemate of mine he has no job in China! Before coming here he was in Japan for almost 3 years and now he is desperately looking for a job in China or somewhere outside of China. However, he cannot well speak English or pronounce English words therefore, it is difficult for him to get a job abroad! or very likely he will go back!
I started to think, unbelievable Iranian nationals are not the only one who think they should exaggerate about their status!

2. About the horse meat: This gentleman has a great tendency to buy meats from different animals. to name a few horse, rabbit, ... which I suppose is normal for them!
About 2 months ago he bought this horse meat. The meat was smoked, so not needed to be cooked! He prepared this past Monday for his guest and served it! THe remaining of that meat he cooked it about two times more for the other days after his guest until the meat was completely turning to black color! and eat them with appetite!
God bless

Please see and make your conclusion!!!
Ahmadi Nedjad speech!


I am quite busy, as everyone else is, so no time to write!:)

2. Damn getting Phd is not that easy!

3. Tomorrow is Valentine's day, known as lovers day. not sure, with many girls as are in the world and perhaps in area I live! why do I still feel lonely!? I read about Iranian equivalent of that day is known as Sepandar Mazdegan. Many women around the world express their love and affection to their lovers. So, in honor of women and I think this write up worth reading for an Famous Iranian woman: taken from www.z8un.com site.

حرفهاي آذر فخر عزيز در مورد گوگوش :((مي داني، از نوشتن و طرز فكرت خيلي خوشم ميايد .ولي در نوشته اخيرت مطلبي نوشتي راجع به گوگوش كه كل زندگي اين زن را در 3 شوهر و دلار و اقامت در كانادا خلاصه كردي . البته تو حق داري كه هر طور كه ميخواهي ببيني و اين آزادي را هيچكسي حق ندارد از تو بگيرد . من فكر كردم شايد بدليل وحشت از بخطر افتادن امنيت جوانان پدران و مادران هيچ زمينه اي از زندگي نسل گذشته به انها نميدهند و شايد هم با زمينه مذهبي شدن شديد جامعه دچار انفعال شده باشند از نوع زندگي كه قبل از انقلاب داشتند و ترجيح دادند كه سكوت كنند خودم را موظف ديدم بايد در اين مورد حقيقت را برايت بنويسم. فايقه اتشين را پدرش از كوچكي گوگوش صدا ميكرد بزبان تركي به گنجشك ، گوش ميگويند چون ريزه بود و ورجه وورجه ميكرد . گوگوش 2 ساله بود كه صابر اتشين مادرش را طلاق داد و خودش دخنرش را نگهداشت . صابر با برادرش و چند نفر ديگر در كاباره شكوفه نو ( پشت اين كاباره شهر نو بود كه فاحشه خانه رسمي بود )برنامه اكروبات و رقص هاي قفقازي بين برنامه خوانندگان اجرا ميكردند . بر خلاف اينكه اين كاباره در جنوب شهر و محل بدنامي بود ولي خواننده هاي معروف در انجا مي خواندند در نتيجه مردم بالاي شهر و از طبقه خوب براي ديدن برنامه انجا مي رفتند . چون پدر گوگوش كسي را نداشت كه در خانه از گوگوش مواظبت كند او را از اول شب با خودش به كاباره ميبرد و در پشت صحنه مي نشاند تا نيمه هاي شب كه برنامه اش تمام مي شد او را خواب الود بخانه ميبرد دخترك تا وقتي بيدار بود از پشت صحنه برنامه ها را نگاه ميكرد . برنامه اكروبات صابر كمدي بود . و گوگوش هم دختر تيز و باهوشي بود يكشب صابر به او ميگويد كه بدود بيايد روي صحنه و از سر و كول پدرش بالا برود . او هم اينكار را كرد . صابر چاق بود و شلوار اكروبات هم گشاد و اطلسي بود و كمرش مثل پيژاما كش داشت . صابر دخترش را از روي شانه اش بر ميدارد و ميكند توي شلوارش . گوگوش 3 ساله كه قبلا با پدر تمرين كرده بود انچنان توي شلوار به پاي پدر ميچسبيد كه با انهمه حركت پدر كنده نميشد و ناگهان پدر دوباره او را از شلوارش بيرون ميكشيد . مردم خيلي براي گوگوش كف ميزدند . چون صابرعلاقه مردم را به اين دخترك كوچك ديد به توصيه صاحب كاباره او را هم وارد كارهاي اكروبات كرد گوگوش شعر هاي خواننده ها را هم ياد گرفته بود و بدستور پدر روي صحنه هم اجرا مي كرد . كار بجايي رسيد كه مردم بخاطر اين دختر بچه و استعداش ميامدند به كاباره . دستمزد گروه اتشين چند برابر شده بود . وقتي به سن رفتن به دبستان رسيد ،مجبور بود مشقش را پشت صحنه بنويسد و چون تا نيمه هاي شب بايد برنامه اجرا ميكرد در نتيجه نزديك صبح ميخوابيد و نميتوانست به مدرسه برود . پدر برايش معلم خصوصي گرفت و گوگوش هرگز نتوانست مثل يك بچه عادي زندگي كند . گوگوش ستاره شده بود و در پيش چشمان مردم رشد ميكرد . صبح هاي جمعه هم در سينما برنامه هايي براي كودكان ميگذاشتند و پدرش او را ميبرد در ان برنامه هابخواند . برايش كنسرت ها ترتيب داد ولي تمام پول را پدر برميداشت هيچ قانوني نبود كه از اين بچه حمايت كند . زن پدر گوگوش رفتار بسيار بدي با او داشت و بارها او را كتك ميزد و گوگوش هم سخت از پدرش ميترسيد . ديگر دختر جواني شده بود كه در كاباره ميامي كه مال قرباني بود و پسرش محمود قرباني مدير داخلي اش بود طبق قراردادي كه پدرش بسته بود بايد برنامه اجرا ميكرد . انجا عاشق محمود قرباني شد . پدرش سخت مخالف بود ولي قرباني او را عقد كرد و گوگوش فكر كرد از ستم پدر ازاد شده . اين بار قرباني پولهايش را نمي داد گوگوش پسرش را بدنيا اورد كه نميتوانست از او مراقبت كند . پرستار بچه او را بيشتر ميديد مادر شبها در كاباره باكارا هم با قراردادي كه شوهرش بسته بود بايد برنامه اجرا ميكرد . شبها بيدار و طول روز در خواب . قرباني به او زور ميگفت و حتي كتكش هم ميزد . در فيلم هم بازي ميكرد كنسرتهاي خارج از كشور هم بايد ميرفت . خسته شده بود . كار اختلاف با شوهرش بالا كشيد . از شوهرش جدا شد بدون يكشاهي و حالا فقط در باكارا ميخواند و در فيلم بازي ميكرد كه با بهروز وثوقي اشنا شد . عاشق هم بودند و ازدواج كردند . شرط بهروز اين بود كه ديگر در كاباره نخواند . گوگوش به كاباره نرفت ولي ارباب كه امضاي او را در قرارداد داشت برايش حكم جلب گرفت كه زنداني اش كنند . ارباب شوهر جميله رقاص معروف عربي ان زمان بود و مافياي عجيب و وحشتناكي دلشت . بهروز ناراحت بود و گوگوش نميخواست به زندان برود با ناراحتي از هم جدا شدند چون گوگوش نميخواست بهروز را اينهمه ناراحت و عصبي ببيند . تازه داشت پولش را خودش استفاده ميكرد كه انقلاب شد . ان زمان گوگوش براي احراي برنامه به امريكا امده بود . پولش هم تمام شده بود خانه اي داشت در تهران تصميم گرفت برگردد وقتي به ايران امد از همان فرودگاه گرفتندش . خيلي به او توهين كردند نا مادري اش رفت پيش ايت الله طالقاني و دست به دامن او شد او باعث ازادي گوگوش شد ديگر حق نداشت بخواند . پولي در بساط نداشت وضعش خيلي بد بود مسداقي كه پولدار بود با او ازدواج كرد . ولي تنهايي . در خانه نشستن و اينكه بعلت محبوبيت حتي نميتوانست از ترس پاسدار پايش را از خانه بيرون بگذارد كشاندش به استفاده زياد از قرص هاي ارامبخش .اختلاف با شوهرش بالا گرفت و دوباره كتك خورد . .جدا شد . بي پولي وتنهايي . جدا بودن از يگانه پسرش زندگي را سخت تر كرد . كيميايي كه دوست مشترك او و بهروز بود امد سراغ اش . زندگي شان را شروع كردند . فيلمهاي كيميايي پولساز نبود هيچ تهيه كننده اي هم حاضر نبود ميليونها سرمايه گزاري كند برايش . شروع كردند به قرض كردن . شديدا بدهكار بودند . طلبكار كه ادم با نفوذي در جمهوري اسلامي بود و از طرفي پولش را ميخواست پيشنهاد كرد كه پاسپورت و ويزاي خروج براي گوگوش ميتواند بگيرد بشرطي كه خودش براي او در خارج برنامه بگذارد . قبول كردند چون كيميايي سناريويي

Sushi: I finally made it!


One of the very unforgettable experience of mine just happened on this past Saturday which desperately needs to be mentioned!:-) Those who know me, know that I am a Sushi lover! Perhaps even more than Chel o Kabab! So, I finally made Sushi right from scratch!! Except the seaweed that is used to wrap the Sushi everything else was created from original ingredient indeed I wrap them, too! I even made Wasabi paste! This was an amazing experience for me! But the resultant Sushi rolls were not optimal, I have to admit. Not to my own tongue! I think the rice was little over cooked. About 8 people ate the Sushi rolls I made and they are still alive and have gone to work the next day and today! I made sushi rolls with raw salmon, raw tuna, California rolls (cucumber, avocado) as well as red Caviar!! During the shopping of these ingredients I saw Iranian Caviar was sold as well (written on it Iranian Caviar) of course not on the shalf, though ! The price was amazing: for 250 gr. CHF 2300

You can see my photo with the Sushi just made!

or may be not!
