I just was looking for one of his work came across this one.
It is wonderful and moving!! enjoy!


If you wish to read the lyrics:
Sento nell'aria profumo di te
Piccoli sogni vissuti con me
Ora lo so
Non voglio perderti
Quella dolcezza così senza età
La tua bellezza rivali non ha
Il cuore mio vuole soltanto te

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

Dimmi che tu già il futuro lo sai
Dimmi che questo non finirà mai
Senza di te non voglio esistere

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

Non devo dirtelo
Ormai già lo sai
Che morirei senza di te

Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, farò
Tutto quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te

in English:
For You

I smell in the air the scent of you
Little dreams had lived with me
Now I know, I don’t wanna lose you
That sweetness which has no age
Your beauty has no rivals
My heart wants only you

For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll have
Hundreds days of happiness
Hundreds nights of serenity
I’ll do what you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

Tell me that you know the future, yet
Tell me that this is not gonna change
Without you I don’t wanna exist

For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll have
Hundreds days of happiness
Hundreds nights of serenity
I’ll do what you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

I mustn’t say it to you, by now you know it
That I would die without you

For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll do
Everything you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

A short of what I think!

My comment to Doste khobam (motasefaneh esmesho nemidonam) Yek Dokhtare


Aval az hameh azat ozr khahi mikonam, man motasefaneh balad nistam, farsi type konam, so I write everything in English. I hope that does not get interpreted to “Jafar khan rafteh farang.” By Writing this in English that does not mean I am intending to say I am better than you or understand better than you, not at all. So, I want to say that before I start to answer your comment.
( just write now on CNN there is report of a Egyptian-American father killed shut his own girl who was dating a none-Muslim boy!!)

I think the location of whoever picks up to live in any part of this earth is something we are entitled to choose and this is part of human right. Having said that, everyone has many reasons for leaving or staying in the place they were born. So, rest assure that my reasons of leaving Iran have not been due to political or even to gain a better living standard! Because if I had stayed in Iran, I would have had a more comfortable life style than I am having here. Trust me on that!
Let’s not play any type of accusation or labeling that is common among us, Iranians. As I said I have had my reason to move out of Iran.

I am not trying to fix anything at once. Never! I would have liked it but not possible in my view! This is something I never intend to do. What I emphasize on is something little children do, take one step at the time!
I agree, that Iran's problems are 100% related to culture. People do many unjustified act, killing their siblings for nothing, But does this justifies us (by us I mean those who understand that is incorrect) care not to do anything towards these cultural issues!?

I do not mean, to go out and start to change people or tell them either you change your mind or else I do something to you, not. Completely contrary. That is what our fathers did in Iran during revolution, from what I understand!

What I mean is simply I should first start by myself. For example, if I ever have child would I give her/him hard time as it is done by many traditional families in Iran? Will I ask my girl to stay virgin until she gets married or else she has been a disgrace to her family! Or
I would choose another approaches, for example, provide her with the information needed for such a situations if she ever decides to have sex.

When I say we should act upon us than others. This idea simply comes from the fact,
You wouldn’t litter your own room/home, would you? So why not stop throwing litter on streets? So, I start with myself.
When I say we shall start with ourselves, I mean to open our own eyes to realities and avoid superstitious. To provide the real information to people around us, not to refrain the information from flowing. Show the truth, and not the lies!

The last thing but not the least, I don’t think you should judge me for anything you have not even seen or done! I never criticize you for why are you going out with Dr. (unfortunately I don’t know his name), so therefore, you are not good girl! One of those unnecessary conclusions!
Let’s forget that idea of accusing, just be on the side that accept each other with what we are.
What you do is great, I am sure. Learning to survive and enjoy, as you put it, in Society of Mashhad and in greater extend in Iran. And I am not there to judge you.
all I am saying is that we,in Iran, need more freedom, easier flow of information and I think avoid judging people, especially young people like you!

We are on the same side! let's not think what I have written for you is something against you.

So, my entire opinion goes around this fact: Give information, let the person to decide for her/himself.

by theway, if you got time, read my old posts: just click and read some of them:
something I wrote!

YouTube!

I am kinda big fan of Youtube! many video's that I have heard throughout of my life I can find them there:)

I don't think people in my age know this group but I have always heard it. FYI, these guys are Dan England and John Coley.
enjoy

My long list wish, never come true! and what I missed.

What I miss the most when I look back!
I am sure everyone, who is completely satisfied with his/her life; there is something they have missed in their life or wished they had!
What did I missed or wished I could do the most, I tend to ask myself!

1. I miss those years that I could spend with my high school and primary school friends and just have fun without fear of revolutionary guard in Iran.

2. I missed simply a sit out at a cafe-shop in Tehran and greet at my fellows who I know!

3. To fall in love at young age and have crush on someone I admired!

4. I miss those fun times we could have with friends. The time we could simply get together rather than just sitting at home. Go all out to a local club where we lived in Iran, talk to the people spoke my mother tongue. Just drink and have a fair laugh at ourselves and good time.

5. Those years that I was away from my family and friends can be recounted to be with them again. I wished I could change a few things in my family life without hassle!

6. I wished I could see smiling women hand in hand with their partner not wearing veil on streets of Iran. I miss to see that. I have seen that in europe and North America why not in Iran?!

7. I wished everyone including my friends can get a visa to come to this side of the world!

6. I wished and I missed...
if anyone, you could add more...

Iran, A center of development and achievement since ...

One thing I can't understand is that in the news agencies that are close to Iranian state we achieve everyday a new heights in science and technology!
but, yes there is but,
after 29 years being under economic sanctions and knowing thnigs will not be changed, why we can't fix our passangers' airplanes we bought 30 years ago? or have them checked properly?

Just yesterday: A plane taking off from Tehran, its front wheel breaks down and starts to burn according to Fars news close to conservative and current government!

I am not an aviation expert, but a simple overhaul seems so difficult for Iranian technicians, how can we achieve so many frontiers in today's Iran science according to many state own news agencies but not being able to just properly check technicality of a plane!

Politics!? year 2007! A review!!

It has been a long time I have not written about politics. But I as anything is some how related to politics, I would like to write short thing about some issues came to my attention.

While I was reading Molla Hassani’s serious writings, I started to think what has happened to many people throughout these years! The people I am going to talk about are not just any people; as their position and being “insider” made them in some extend to play a role in current Iranian history!
I recall one of the most wishes many young Iranians have is to leave Iran and become acquainted with life of Iranian Diaspora. Or as I put it” experience the life under westernized civilization, free regardless of their beliefs and of course, higher standard of life”.
So, who are these people and where they are today!

1. Ms. Fatemeh Haghighatjou, after being outspoken member of Iranian parlement in Khatami era. She left Iran to be a guest researcher at MIT Center for International Studies and She is now working at The University of Connecticut in Storrs.
Interesting from her biographical synopsis in MIT webpage: “Ms. Haghighatjoo speaks some English and is available for interviews.”!!!

2. Mr. Hossein Derakhshan, those who does not know him, can get to know him through Wikipedia. He is hardcore advocate of Islamic republic though immigrated to Canada with wife in 2000, owns Canadian passport, goes around the world labels people with what he thinks is correct! Question I always wonder about is, how did he moved to Canada since he did not have bachelor from any university (according to wikipedia)?! And why outside of Iran he lives?! if he believes IR system is a system that is standing against "free market"? how could he travel around the world with his “French girlfriend” as he puts it (he has already divorced from wife, not that is my business!)!! He currently has started to study in an private school with not having a fixed job! To my experience, a person who has work in food chains and with many difficulty lived his bachlor years, how could he travel so much if does not have much money or a fix job!

3. Mr. Amir Farshad Ebrahimi , Wikipedia reads: he is a former member of Ansar-e Hezbollah and Basij of Iran, currently a peace and human rights activist living in Germany. For those who don’t know him, he is the guy who got Ms. Shirin Ebadi into jail because of his confessions about what Ansar-e Hezbollah did. An example was what happened when Mr. Mohajerani former minster of Islamic guidance speech was set to violence.
His weblog!

In any case, I just wonder where they are the above people and where they were about 5 years ago! So, life has lots of ups and down! note to myself, no kidding!!

Happy 2008 and a year full of health and prosperty for all!

Season's Greetings!

Another day and another year! woud it be! who knows!
ll the best in the 2008. may 2008 be better than years before.
Here this clip my dedication to all:


and this is my favorite song for christmas by Chris Rea:

A note to myself: Andrea Bocelli

Jaye Hameh khali, I am watching a great, beautiful performances from Andrea Bocelli with many of his friends like David Foster and etc. in mediaset! Ah, I missed watching such a concert! The view behind AB, I think is Meditrenin sea. The language they speak is Italian, but many duet performers coming on the stage are performing in English! wonderful! just one word! All his hits are performed with huge Symphony Orchestera!! He is singing Bésame Mucho:)))
and I found what I was watching:)



I dedicate the above to all those people who are alone in this Christmas eve.:)

but I am big fan of Cesaria Evora for Bésame Mucho have a look:

Have got time again to mumblling!

1. For those who asked me how I am doing. I feel much better. But that hitting my head by a truck (the description I say, how I felt during that week of virus attack!) lasted almost one complete week!

2. Finally the few days of Christian New Year has started. I feel I truly need a recovery time after so many intensive working days even if it is for a few days! Today we had our Christmas lunch together and one of our technicians got retired. The guy was originally from chez and Slovakia and was working in light structure testing and later turned to cable car testing (The Swiss love their cable cars!) division. I love this idea that our colleague made. Projecting photos of years of his work in the laboratory. The two series of present we all contributed and most important of all inviting many of those who started or the guy used to work. According to my colleague many of those were passed away or were so old that they would not be able to make it. However, he managed to bring in about a dozen of them and especially the guy who to used to teach and was head of the laboratory. Later, one of the other colleagues of the guy said something funny. As a new Swiss Citizen you should be doing three things to prove you are Swiss: 1. to open and close a gun and make it ready! 2. to milk a goat! And the 3. sing a famous song that I go to pick cherries!!! This was quite interesting for me.

3. I am reading a novel by Khali Hosseini is called the kite runner. I heard about it when I was in Canada through CBC radio program. It is quite well written and developed story describing a Pashto guy life from when he was around 10 until his later years. He described vividly the situation of Afghanistan in 70’s when Zahr shah was in power until Taliban ruling. He describes about what has people gone through including himself by running from the country and got refuge to the US. It is well written novel and I just find out yesterday that the movie is also on the screen under the same name staring two or three Iranians actors and actress. Hoping to watch it, soon. It is quite interesting that during 70’s or to be exact 1974 the guy describes that they didn’t have TV in Afghanistan and to watch the World cup of football they were going to Iran!!! The Iran he describes seems it was a big power in the region and sad to see what we are today!
Kite Runner

4. The interview of President Ahmadi Negad with Islamic Republic Borad Cast has been funny. Apparently he has blamed, drop of dollar value, previous governments, as well as unknown hands to create inflation. This totally reminds me of Ayatolah Khomaeini speech who once said: economy science belong to donkey!!

too much work would kill you!

1. Last night I woke up around 2:00 shivering and feeling cold. I could not sleep until this morning. So, I decided to go to a doctor. After sitting about 4 hours, I was able to see a Dr. who told me that I have 38 degrees fever! He instructed me to the laboratory to have my blood test taken. The lady poke me the routine to my hand vein and interesting enough, after a few drops the blood stopped. I explained to here that since last night I have not eaten anything and I feel extremely tired and weak! She asked me to put my legs up and my head down so blood flow to my upper body! She then poked my finger for further blood extraction and after 30 minutes I still shivering the result indicated there could be a bacteria or virus in my body! I was prescribed antibiotic for only three days and Ibuprofen 400 mg! Anyhow, I still feel horrible and seems my head is exploding! But at least the temperature has gone down!

2. I finally moved out from my old place where I was living with Chinese. I have to write something funny about him. This was my last encounter.
The sotry goes:
I went to take my ADSL modem and router, so I asked him if he could bring in his old single modem which was USB port and install it on his computer. Making long story short, he brings the modem and then with his accent asked me to install it. After installing, we had to enter a password and userid. I asked him if he recalls. He said: No. I asked him to call Swisscom to find out about the password. So, he did so. I was finalizing my moving and cleaning my room, he called me and said that can I talk to the customer service on the phone! I agreed. I picked the phone, they guy was speaking with French accent, told me that he can’t understand the Chinese what he is saying! After rectifying and sorting out the problem. He asked me to make sure everything works, do as I instruct you.
He said open a web browser open google and type something there to see if the websites work. I open google page. I think many know that google can be set to remember the searches you have already done! You may wonder what he was looking for, I mean the entire pull down menu of the google search had words like this:
Gay pictures!!
Man and man movies!!
Gay going hardcore!!!
And many more gay related photos and movies searches.
There was no search for gay information!
Finally, this was the last observation of the Chinese guy and since first of this months he is back in China!

3. Chris de Burgh and Arian just recorded a song!
Chris has recently completed recording with ‘The Arian Band’. The song, ‘The Words I Love You’, is in English and Farsi and will be included on The Arian Band’s new album for release in Iran this December.
This is an exciting project as it is the first collaboration between Western and Iranian artists. For further information on The Arian Band please visit www.arianmusic.com.
check out the news here look for Arian

Unknown Iranian bands!

I accidentally came across this Iranian band is called !7th band!! Check out their link for yourself! I didn't like them so much! the music is mellow with beat 4/4 weight and is not bad the combination of instruments they provide. The problem are the lyrics. Too monotonic and 200 times the same thing is said!

see the video!


check out more on youtube. So many Iranian new bands which I have never seen or heard!

2. Now about something lovely! Anniversary of Ms. Mokarameh Ghanbari's paintings! According to this column She started to paint when she was in her 60s! She was from one of the small villages of North In Mazandaran of Iran in 1928 was born. She become so famous that aparently she become women of the year when She travels to Sweden for exhibition of her work!
Anyhow, it is quite lovely, May She restin peace.
Mokarameh Ghanbari anniversity from BBC Persian

No News, does not mean good news?

I am getting upset to see how the media covers Iran news! You hear that President AN is in top 100 most influencial people in Time magazine!
You hear Albradi of IAEA writes his report about Iran ambition to nuclear power.
They report what has President AN called in small village or in class room of a university about his critics...
but...
Do we hear anything about news like this:
A 27 years old women medical student (Zahra Bani Yaghoubi (Ameri)) was killed after being in custody of Basiji in Hamedan! SHe was arrested when walking in the park with her (Boyfriend, i.e. Fiance!)I searched everywhere on the net there was no news about that in English except the
following link from a weblog.


I looked to see any other news agencies have reported anything else! nup, zero!
Nothing in English!
But if you know Persian, yes. There are some weblogs and BBC Persian has reported about her death!

So, that is why I know how alone we are in this world when it comes to individual's life!

According to BBC Persian she was A student at Tehran university and had gone to the highschool with high IQ.
I wonder if anyone can calcualte and see how much such person worth in today's society! Perhaps, her life can be said to be priceless!

I feel sad...
that is my 2-cent on news!

Sanctions takes its pace!

1. I am not sure if this true but I just read that yahoo and hotmail have stopped servicing Iranian customers? I wish to know if this true! if someone can leave a comment if that is true! Link of report:
Yahoo and hotmail santion Iran

2. have a look who is here and signing!!:)

Dangerous Time and Ignorance!

I think Iran has never been so close to be bombarded and attacked by entire world!

I am one of those who thinks war brings nothing let me clarify that.
as I have said previously, president Ahamdi Nedjad strategy and his advisers have not been successful to mobilize public opinion behind Iran nuclear matter not to mention that to rectify world anxiety about Iranian nuclear ambition!
Add to all the above the price of Oil Barrel which is exceeding $98, today!

In our coffee break the public opinion is that the oil has got up because of Iranian president madness and his sinful thoughts!
people speculating Mr. Bush and his administration will not tolerate such a high price firstly and they are likely to attack Iran!
Public opinion is quite behind this attacked!

I also just read Mr. AN has said they will set 3000 centerfuse to enrich Uranium!

What shall I say! Hope war never comes!:(

lots of work!

1. Since I have arrived from Canada I have been working around the clock 7 days a week!
I had to prepare the first draft of my paper and give it to my advisor, at the same time present in PhD club meeting, add to all that 8 hours meeting for setting up symposium which in taking place on 21 of this month! I am trully exhausted!
and now I have to go shopping! someone just asked me if I would like to go to the wine exhibition tonight! I turn him down! that is unusual for me:D

2. A few days a ago I have a office mate who is from Switzerland. We were both working late. it was around 9:00 pm and I said what are you listening to. She just told me Edith Piaf! I just couldn't resist to have her to play it for me!
Although these are not my time music. But I have also heard them when I was quite young since my paretns were litening to her.
anyhow, I suggested we should bring in some UFO lights, I wear hat from 1940 and start a bar with martini to serve people who come in:)



and of course: La vie En Rose
