Happy New Year To Iranians

I've decided to retire from writing about politics and other related topics for a few days partly due to the problems I had with blogger.com server and partly due to the Norooz preparations.

I was writing a piece on "Why I Support the Global War on Terrorism" when the blogger.com server appeared to have severe problems and it caused huge reduction in number of my visitors from 2000+ to less than 200 yesterday and I decided not to waste and ruin my new year time fighting with my blog provider problems, it wasn't my fault any how... I just decided to spend my time with couple of friends. As you saw, I did go to a concert and it was fun.

Okay...

I have never felt Spring season here in Canada. Unfortunately, Canada doesn't have 4 seasons as we knew back in Iran.

It has bitter Winter starting from late October and then this bitter cold season replaces itself with a hot, humid summer time which is harder to bear.

It is terribly hard to experience the Spring season where I am.

That is why I still miss Norooz time of Iran, because one could feel that the spring is in the air and the freshness of every thing would let you believe that it is new year and every thing is going to be new again.

I think it is hard to love Canadian climate though.

Any ways, let me say "Happy New Year to all of you", especially to my Iranian compatriots! May all your dreams come true in this coming year and may Iran become free and democratic in the year ahead.


سال نو همگی مبارک
