Hide and Seek

painting from here

Hide-and-seek is a funny game only if played by kids.

Besides, if you play it too safely and seriousley, you may never be found.

Forough's dream...

(photo from Daddy Long Legs)

(A translation of Forough's poem):

I've dreamed that somebody will come

somebody .. somebody will come

somebody different

somebody better

somebody who is like nobody else

and somebody who is like the one he should be

...

wow!  (in my dream) 

The light is so good

The light is so good

I'm so small

that I get lost in the streets

... why my father who is not this small

neither gets lost in the streets

does not do anything to advance his coming?

somebody will come

somebody will come

the one who is with us 

in his heart

in his breath

in his voice

The one who cannot avoid his coming 

I've dreamed ...

"Forough Farrokhzad"

من خواب دیده ام که کسی می آید

کسی می آید

کسی می آید

کسی دیگر

کسی بهتر

کسی که مثل هیچکس نیست…

و مثل آنکسیست که باید باشد

آخ

چقدر روشنی خوبست

چقدر روشنی خوبست…

 من اینهمه کوچک هستم

که در خیابانها گم میشوم

چرا پدر که اینهمه کوچک نیست

و در خیابانها هم گم نمیشود

کاری نمیکند که آنکسی که بخواب من آمده ست،

روز آمدنش را جلو بیاندازد

کسی می آید

کسی می آید

کسی که در دلش با ماست،

در نفسش با ماست،

در صدایش با ماست

کسی که آمدنش را

نمیشود گرفت

من خواب دیده ام

PS. Surprisingly, this poem applies to the religious belief in Messiah as well.

Free will

Not following your heart is not a benefit of the free will, it may be a form of Masochism. 

Love and Logic

Love has no logic. But if it had, it was a fuzzy logic.

We can always redefine who we are; we just need to know ourselves first.

Not in Law

- My boyfriends's sister's boyfriends is ...

- You mean your brother not in law?

Christmass

"In a Christmas day, there are two types of creatures in the streets: Dogs & International students.",
Here is the dog and the photo is taken by an international student.

Dead Line

To meet the deadline you may need to bend the life line.

-------------------

And it gets worse when you have to do it all in the shortest day and staying all night up in the longest night of the year.

Being Human Being (II)

(picture from Matrix movie)

Made by other human beings, by definition, human beings are artificial;
Needless to say, animals are not.

I'm stuffed.

a real pumpkin pie.

Today is the food appreciation day. Turkey, pumpkin pie, gravy, mashed potato, ... faloodeh, baghlava ...

-------------------

Today is the day "turkeys come first" ... in getting stuffed.  Then it's our turn to get stuffed by the stuffed turkeys. 

-------------------

I have food. I eat more to show I am thankful. 

You don't have food, then eat less to show you are not thankful.

-------------------

Tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow is Black Friday....Tomorrow is the shopping appreciation day.
