Does time really pass faster?

A good point: why does time pass faster when you are older? As when we are children, time seems to pass more slowly. Is the perception of time is equal for everyone? Does it have something to do with time dilation in relativity theory?

Anwar Sadat

I've always wished to be thankful and faithful to the people who have been nice to me, and never let them alone in difficult life times.
I admire President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, a true man, a good model to follow.

Another Birth

My entire soul is a dark verse repeating you within itself carrying you to the dawn of eternal blossoming and growing up

In this verse, I sighed you, AH!

In this verse, I grafted you to trees, water and fire

Perhaps life is a long street a woman with a basket passes through every day

Perhaps life is a rope which a man hangs himself with from a branch

Perhaps life is a child returning home from school

Perhaps life is lighting a cigarette in the interval between two lovemakings

Perhaps life is dizzy passage of a passerby taking his hat off and saying good morning to another passerby with a vacant smile

Perhaps life is that blocked moment when my glance destroys itself in the pupils of your eyes
And in this there is a sense which I will mix with the perception of the moon and the reception of darkness

"Forough Farrokhzad"

Luck!

We have always been looking forward to better days, days after days and years after years, over and over again. The better days never came and it made us believe: the better days which we are looking for are in fact these bad days passing by.

Death

You got a weird sad feeling when you see someone whom you knew distantly from the undergraduate university, who has recently finished his master's this year, has died from blood cancer. His photos on a poster and Facebook are still smiling at you, friends are writing so many things and you're wondering why so soon... Life is too short, let's spend valuable time with our beloved ones!

Forgiveness

If you cannot forgive someone's mistake it's not because the mistake is big; it happens because your heart is too small.

L'odeur de la rivière Amou-Daria بوی جوی مولیان

L'odeur de la rivière Amou-Daria vient; La mémoire de l'amant mignon vient,

Les grands sables d'Amou-Daria sont très douces sous mes pied,

L'eau d'Amou-Daria se lève jusqu'au milieu de mon cheval à cause de la joie de voire le visage de l'amant,

Rudaki (859-941) BC

رودکی 

بوی جوی مولیان آید همی

یاد یار مهربان آید همی

ریگ آموی و درشتی راه او

زیر پایم پرنیان آید همی

آب جیحون از نشاط روی دوست

خنگ ما را تا میان آید همی

ای بخارا! شاد باش و دیر زی

میر زی تو شادمان آید همی

میر ماه است و بخارا آسمان

ماه سوی آسمان آید همی

میر سرو است و بخارا بوستان

سرو سوی بوستان آید همی

آفرین و مدح سود آید همی

گر به گنج اندر زیان آید همی

What is it of your business?!

Oh devotee! If I'm bad and drunk, what is it of your business?
If the cup of wine is in my hand, what is it of your business?

If you are sitting in the corner of altar, does anybody ask you why?
Now that I'm sitting in the corner of pub, what is it of your business?

If you are busy with prayers, what does it have to do with me?
And if I'm drunk all night to dawn, what is it of your business?

If the fire of hell is intended for you and me,
if you are dry, what is it of my business and if I'm wet, what is it of your business?!

"Khayyam"

زاهدا من که خراباتی و مستم به تو چه؟

 ساغر و باده بود بر سر دستم به تو چه؟

تو اگر گوشه ی محراب نشستی صنمی گفت چرا؟ 

من اگر گوشه ی میخانه نشستم به تو چه؟

آتش دوزخ اگر قصد ِ تو و ما بکند 

تو که خشکی چه به من/من که تر هستم به تو چه؟

Garden of Eden!

My father (Adam) sold the "Garden of Eden" (paradise) for two grains of wheat.
I would not be his son if I didn't sell it for a barley!

Steve Jobs

Tonight lying in the bed, I hear a sound from the phone, new email, CNN braking news:

“Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, has died, according to the company. He was 56.”

Immediately I switch to CNN TV, Steve presents iPhone on the stage, something that no one can do better than he does:

“Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone…”

and in Stanford University:

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart!”

I read the comments on this subject: “Fortunately, he can be rebooted by holding the power and home buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds...”

I open Apple website:

“Steve Jobs 1955-2011

If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email …

I decide to write because always it helps in difficult times.

Steve is someone who is irreplaceable; who changes many things in our lives; who converts the customers to fans.

Thank you for everything Steve, you’ll be always missed and remembered!

Amy Winehouse

I 've had lots of memories with her songs especially "You Know I'm No Good" and now it feels sad suddenly hearing the news that she is gone forever. R.I.P.

Drink wine because... (Bois du vin parce que...)

You know what do harp and oud present? Drink wine in private otherwise they punish!

They take away the honor of love and the boom of lovers, find the faults of youngsters and blame the oldsters.

Nothing was yielded but a dark heart and they still mistakenly fancy that they make elixir.

They say not to tell and hear the secret of love; the problem is the story which they present.

From outside the door, we are proud of one hundred deceptions while they devise by themselves inside the curtains.

They perturb the time of the magus oldster; look what these devotees do with the oldster!

One hundred estates of heart can be bought with a half-look; the good people lose in this deal.

One tribe endeavors to attain the friend; another leaves it to the destiny.

Absolutely don’t trust the stability of the universe that is like a factory which they change

Drink wine because mufti and hafiz and religious agent all falsify if you look well!

Tu sais ce que la harpe et l'oud présentent? Bois du vin en privé sinon ils punissent !

Ils enlèvent l'honneur de l'amour et le boom des amoureux, à trouver les failles des jeunes et blâmer les vieillards.

Rien n'a été donné sauf un cœur sombre et encore ils imaginés qu'ils fabriquent d’élixir.

Ils disent ne pas le dire et d'entendre le secret de l'amour, le problème est l'histoire qu'ils présentent.

De l'extérieur de la porte, nous sommes fiers de cent déceptions alors qu'ils conçoivent eux-mêmes à l'intérieur des rideaux.

Ils perturbent le temps de le vieux mage, regarde ce que ces dévots font du vieillard!

Une centaine de biens du cœur peuvent être acheté avec un demi-regard, les bons perdent dans cette affaire.

Une tribu s’attache à atteindre l'ami, l'autre le laisse au destin.

Absolument ne fais pas confiance à la stabilité de l'univers qui est comme une usine qu’ils changent.

Bois du vin parce que le mufti et le hafiz et l’agent religieux tous falsifient si tu regards bien!

"Hafez"

دانی که چنگ و عود چه تقریر می‌کنند		پنهان خورید باده که تعزیر می‌کنند
ناموس عشق و رونق عشاق می‌برند		عیب جوان و سرزنش پیر می‌کنند
جز قلب تیره هیچ نشد حاصل و هنوز		باطل در این خیال که اکسیر می‌کنند
گویند رمز عشق مگویید و مشنوید		مشکل حکایتیست که تقریر می‌کنند
ما از برون در شده مغرور صد فریب		تا خود درون پرده چه تدبیر می‌کنند
تشویش وقت پیر مغان می‌دهند باز		این سالکان نگر که چه با پیر می‌کنند
صد ملک دل به نیم نظر می‌توان خرید		خوبان در این معامله تقصیر می‌کنند
قومی به جد و جهد نهادند وصل دوست		قومی دگر حواله به تقدیر می‌کنند
فی الجمله اعتماد مکن بر ثبات دهر		کاین کارخانه‌ایست که تغییر می‌کنند
می خور که شیخ و حافظ و مفتی و محتسب		چون نیک بنگری همه تزویر می‌کنند

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;

“Alexander Pope”

The whole problem with the world!

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

My Homeland (Vatanam)

Injured but tall and straight, she is long-lasting like a huge mountain.

Alexander went, but she remained; stony lion broke but the deer remained.

Although Arab cruelly ruined her Bistoon, Taq-i Kisra and Ctesiphon; to wipe out any sign of Iran

But she came out of the soil again, like a flower; my homeland, this pure clean water.

Many centuries have passed, and she’s still alive; my homeland has drunk the life water!

“Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh”

Zakhmi amma boland ghamat o raast

Mesle koohi setorg pabarjast

Raft eskandar o be ja ou mand

Shire sangi shekast o ahoo mand

Gar che ivane bistoonash ra

Taghe kasra va bistoonash ra

Kard tazish ba setam viran

Ke namanad neshani az iran

Baz rooyid chon goli az khak

Vatanam in zolale abiye pak

Gharnha raftast va oo zendast

Vatanam abe zendegi khordast

No-Pub City!

We couldn't hear a drunk yell from here

May this no-pub city be ruined!

On n'a pas entendu un cri ivre d'ici

Que cette ville sans pub soit ruinée!

یک نعره مستانه از اینجا نشنیدیم

ویران شود این شهر که میخانه ندارد

Forough Farrokhzad

The talk is not about the weak link between the two names

Nor the embracing in the old pages of a book

The talk is about my lucky hairs

With your kisses that are like burnt poppies

And intimacy of our bodies, in imposture

And the shine of our naked bodies

Like the fish scales in water

La conversation n'est pas sur le lien faible entre les deux noms

Ni s'embrasser dans les anciennes pages d'un livre

On parle de mes cheveux heureux

Avec tes baisers qui sont comme des coquelicots brûlés

Et l'intimité de nos corps, dans l'imposture

Et la brillance de nos corps nus

Comme les écailles de poisson dans l'eau

سخن از پیوند سست دو نام

و همآغوشی در اوراق کهنه ی یک دفتر نیست

سخن از گیسوی خوشبخت منست

با شقایقهای سوخته ی بوسه ی تو

و صمیمیت تن هامان ، در طراری

و درخشیدن عریانمان

مثل فلس ماهی‌‌ها در آب

The Kids of Iran

Kids, This is the geography map

Kids, This part is called Asia

Shape of a cat seems familiar here

This cat’s eyes are looking for you

Kids, This cat is our Iran...

Kids, this lovely homeland

Has many enemies in ambush

Has sadness in heart and in brow

She’s been called Great Persia since ancient times

She's the pure souvenir of the Aryan people

Kids, this beautiful flag

The flag of green, white and red

Has both the signs of peace and war

A pain in the hearts of jealous enemies

Our honor to it is endless

Kids, this is the home to our ancestors

It has been destroyed; eager to improve

Tired of dictatorship lash

Remedy to its problems is FREEDOM

Remedy to its problems is FREEDOM

Kids, this is your future job

This, is your future job
