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 want to write the New Year prayer and I wish it for all of you. I hope your days and situation turn to be the best. 


یا مقلب القلوب والابصار
یا مدبر اللیل و النهار
یا محول الحول و الاحوال
حول حالنا الی احسن الحال

این شعر فارسی ترجمه آن است

ای آنکه به تدبیر تو گردد ایام 
ای دیده و دل از تو دگرگون مادام 
ای آنکه به دست توست احوال جهان
حکمی بنما که گردد ایام به کام

Happy Norooz to you too. I wish you a great year, with health and joy and success, one which is on the right track ;)

PS: Your "happy mug" was the first thing I noticed on your beautiful 7sin. Everything about your table was lovely :)

My abaji has a good taste :) i love the sofreh. it has all: creativity, taste, simplicity and also 7 haft :)

you dont usually 'right' in farsi? (haha, this was hilarious)

Be happy my dear and stay that way. If you don't think you are in the correct track then take another step and even risk it. I think risk is the one that make us vulnerable but also brings the happiness. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone (like myself) but you are a responsible person that can understand her limits.
love you a lot and alot

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
