My crush

-
She is sitting across the table in front of me playing with a big piece of meat. I think she is my age. She is charming with blond hair which has not seen a comb for a while.  She has bushy eyebrows. I can help her to shape them; this is coming from an Iranian woman who has obsession with eyebrows. They might totally look fine to others but they are not up to my standard and I think it will change her look dramatically.

I am enjoying her company. She is easy to talk to, funny, and she is a good story teller. She said it was Monday because these things only happen on Mondays. My crush who was the nicest and most handsome guy ever came to our office areas with a cart. You know! Something like those wine carts. There was a huge piece of cake on the cart. We curiously asked him what the cake was for. He cheerfully said. Last weekend was his wedding. This was the leftover cake and he thought he should share it with some colleagues that probably he didn’t even know their names. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe he was married. Last time and the only time we talked (which by the way was great), we talked about the weather for 2 minutes.  He never mentioned anything about being engaged. How could he do this to me? How my perfect guy could be married. Then, I picked the biggest piece of the cake, sat in the corner, and thought to myself: I am eating the 2 days old leftover wedding cake of my crush. My love life couldn’t get any more pathetic than this.

Then, she laughed at her story and we laughed with her.

Dear Daisy, please ask you friend if she really thinks that a guy is such a big loss for her, if he brings LEFT-OVER CAKE to his colleagues to celebrates his wedding. It is not only a disrespect to your colleagues, to feed them what is remaining from the big party a day before (not unusual, the cake is already dry and the salad a bit smelly, after it had a great day on a warm garden buffet), but a guy like this can not be a generous partner in other situations. And isn't GENEROSITY always on the top five list of personality characters which a woman expects from its future husband ? So virtuallity, by this bad habit the man completely disproved his value as a good partner in life,

regards, Michael

Things that really matter

I remember once when I was in school, couple of friends suggested skipping the class and going to see a movie. Of course the nerd in me couldn't handle the stress of missing a lecture. So I announced that I wouldn't go with them but I would gladly go to class and share my notes with whoever likes to have them later. I don't recall the content of that lecture nor do I recall the course but I never forget that I didn't watch 'the Banu Ordibehesht' with my friends.

"Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud"

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks. I was very excited about listing to her. When I bought the ticket, I told to myself that was an early birthday present for me. I went for the talk to be inspired and to figure out why this woman was so successful as she was. Although I never regret going to that talk (since I learned one or two things), the talk was not as inspiring as I hoped. I had heard better talks before. She is not one of those people that I call gifted public speakers. She was witty and smart but didn’t really do it for me. However, what I learned was that I can be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. When she was talking about a rainbow, she was talking about her cripple poor uncle who not only changed her life but had an impact on other kids in the neighbourhood. When she was talki

Happy Persian New Year, Sal-e noe mobarak! I set my 7-seen table finally this morning. I want everyone to notice my happy mug which contains some wheat cat grass. The one I try to make from lentil, didn't turn out very well since I remembered to start doing it 10 days ago. The weather today was surprisingly amazing. I received some chocolate as eidi (which was a nice surprise too and from someone whom I was trying to be mad at), played squashed with some friends, then went swimming. As I was swimming in the quiet pool, I started thinking that I should be very grateful for this nice facility on campus and should take more advantage of it. I was happy but by the end of the day, I couldn't help it wonder about some stuff in my life. More thinking and analyzing does not help either; Some cry does though. At least I feel better now. I am just worried that I am on the wrong track. I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead. I usually don't right anything here in Farsi but I really
