Welcome to my blog! Thursday, March 09, 2006. Les Justes" = Le Mockery. Last night, I watched director Ghotbedin Sadeghi’s interpretation of Albert Camus’s play, Les Justes. At Tehran’s grand City Theater. We got in free, through the efforts of another director belonging to the International Theater for College Students. Although we arrived a bit late, the story had just begun to crystallize. At several instances throughout the performance, I had to draw on every ounce of strength to keep from bursting i...

Finally, our behemoth of a bus rolls out of the terminal. It's still light outside, as we drive past layers of mountains blanketed in lush greenery. I'm clutching my USC hooded sweatshirt and a pair of thick winter socks that I plan to use if the bus becomes too cold, like it did on the ride to Bonneh. Apparently, since consumer goods cost less in Bonne...

Welcome to my blog! Iranians Views on Nuclear Issue. 25-Day Briefing (Part 2). 25-Day Briefing (Part 1). Les Justes = Le Mockery. Monday, May 29, 2006. Bizhe (Long Live) Kordistan. There’s a plane carrying a Turk, Fars, American, Baluchi, and Kurd. The plane’s about to crash, so the Turk tells everyone to jump. Everybody dies, except for the Kurd. Why? Because the wind caught inside his billowing pants, allowing him to float to safety. This is Sarieh munching on rivas. Another aspect of this town was the...

I Saw Santa Claus. Why, then, would this boutique suddenly feature this half-baked impressionist, whose Christmas cheer was clearly crumpled up and tossed out with the rest of the used wrapping paper? Friend: So, what are you doing tonight? Me: Uh.nothing. What are you doing? On that note, Happy New Year. Last night was...

Welcome to my blog! Les Justes = Le Mockery. Thursday, March 16, 2006. The night before last, Iranians everywhere gathered around bonfires with family and friends to celebrate the eve of Chahar Shanbeh Soori, or Fiery Wednesday. Traditionally, this ancient holiday is practiced by jumping over flames, and chanting phrases like, "Sorkhiye toh az man, zardiye man az toh." Meaning, your (the fire's). Glow/ruddiness in exchange for my (the jumper's). Beginning three weeks ago, NAJA. Posted by Shiva 9:06 PM.
