Under the Azure Dome

The Azure Dome is a dome where all the Iranian myths live and flourish.
It is the name of our Festival in March 2006. Read the report.
We are hoping to have the support of the Tehrontonians for this magnificent event.

I am late

It is late. And I am off. Many things to say. Daniel, my supervisor, invited me to his house. I will spend the afternoon with him. Thesis talk and thesis talk! I would like to end this routine and join the profressionals who are performing the art of community development.

All in One

I do not know on "what" to write.
I am presenting at this conference in Aug and I have to send them my paper by next week, I have to write the final paper for the Social Housing course by mid July. Working at TLC is my other time-consuming responsibility.
I have my aunt went through an opeartion to remove her breasts for the cancer she was diagnosed and worse she is now devastated by the loss of Amou Majid.

All of above! Sometimes it is too much that one does not know how to start, right?

Amou Majid smoked his way through the black castle of death!
Fathers, do not smoke! Now that you have sons and daughters to parent, do not smoke. Please, control your crave!

You offical reformers! you all failed, what did you do to sustain your plan to guide reform after your sinking? Did you help people organize? Did you help to change the educational arrangements at schools so that kids could learn about Rights, Citizenship and Civil Society? Give me an indicator that proves me wrong in claiming that you have done nothing to initiate a grassroots move for reform.

Regardless, Ahmadinejad could be a source of inspiration for further action! He might create a global crisis or address the needs of the people, either way, it is people who win! No long-term worries, though, short-term concern is wisdom.

Reform movement could now re-commence by building on what Ahmadinejad claims he wants to do. In order to alleviate poverty, the system required to do community-based needs analysis, system needs to organize the poor. So any better chance you know that could help speed up the process? Go to the people and help them organize to address their needs even local needs, even needs that seem populistic.

As I have shouted all the time, democracy is decentralizing accountable autonomy to people.
Democracy begins in the speher of social and economic relations and then human rights come in to sustain it and guarantee its progress. Democracy is when a cab driver has a say in transportaion system or knows how and where he could put his idea in and how to monitor its effect.

Amou Majid Mord

Majid died. My uncle, at the age of 53, the exact age his father, my grandfather, died. Three consecutive massive heart attacks did not let him live the marriage of his three young daughters. In Insfehan, my father at his bed, he laughed and said a few words before his voyage. It is sad but real it is boiling while calming, it is life. Eight years ago, I lost a collection of best friends in a sudden flood in the North. Since then, death has redefined himself for me, it is scerenity it is life itself, one should water the tears and open up the eyes, one should rethink it. Although massively breaks my heart but I believe it is a return to the ocean; the return of the soul to the eternity or the body to the wholeness of the nature. Death is Truth!

Old Shark Drowns The Dragon Flies! The Reform Rationalize!

It is true that the main opposition is the regime itself, Rafsanjani is now becoming one of them!

Now that all the reform is detached from power, it is time to learn, learning that all democracies commence from the root, from exactly where people live and work. Many friends laugh when I say democracy is at the local with national consequences. Democracy is a social and economic act with political effects. Political development is democratization of social and economic relations!

Now that you have to be housed again, you the official reformers, it is in the book, read, think and reflect. Review the UN documents on democratic intervention, study the successful development programs experienced by the world! Then write and get feedback! Spice up the development literature with some Persian taste! The world is much a head of us, simply because they think prior to action, because they pilot their proposals, write about them and reflect on the feedback! They praxis before final action!

Believe me the reformers lack the intellect for development, of any sort! This is what I have always cried out but Pro-reformer (as opposed to pre-reform) friends always satisfied themsleves with the foam not the taste!

Sibestan Says

هيچ چيز در ايران عقبگرد نخواهد کرد. ما احمدی نژاد را هم با خود به جلو می بريم. ما برنده واقعی هستيم چنانکه برنده تمام سالهای انقلاب هم بوده ايم. زندگی ايرانی از شنبه به بعد همچنان ادامه خواهد داشت. اگر هاشمی را که می گفت هواپيمای اف 14 می خواهيم چه کنيم سياست آموختيم و اگر به مخملباف سينما ياد داديم و اگر آواز و موسيقی جوان پسند را به ساز و دهان خوانندگان تلويزيون گذاشتيم و گرد کرباسچی جمع شديم تا الگويی از تدبير مدينه بسازيم و دموکراسی را به امنيتی ها و بازجوهای سابق آموختيم و حجاب را به شکل خود در آورديم و هزاران کار کرده ديگر، باز هم می توانيم و خواهيم کرد. ما مردمی که مثل ماهی در آب تناقض زندگی می کنيم و مثل آب قصه سهراب و نوشدارو را روان ايم. Wholeheartedly I believe in this paragraph by Mr. Jami, whom I have once met in Toronto! We will defenitely lead Ahmadinejad to our world, although the price would be so high and the life so painful when Ahmadi, Allahkaram and Dehnamaki will be up there ruling our life to a more desparate darkness. But historically speaking, it is us, all of us the Iranians, who are evolving to a secular and rational nation. After all, he and his followers are Iranians, are not they?

ائتلاف اکبر بابا و چهل هزار دزد تهران!

For Hashemi Believers: Hashemi will not initiate any action towards any good! Regardless of the result of the election, there will be no major different consequences for the people. Do you mind if, for sometime, the Hashemis do not execise fully-fledged power? Anyhow, it is your choice and you have all the right to put it into practice!

Ahmadinejad in Tehran and Isfehan!
