Talkh o Shirin

Happy and sad moments of life on our planet, Earth.

All sad moments are either caused by man, or they could have been prevented by man, but weren't. All happy moments are just a natural and eternal part of nature and life itself.

دل فولادم ول كنيد اسب مرا راه توشه سفرم را و نمد زينم را و مرا هرزه درا كه خيالي سركش به در خانه كشانده است مرا. رسم از خطه دوري،نه دلي شاد در آن. سرزمين هايي دور جاي آشوبگران كارشان كشتن و كشتار كه از هر طرف و گوشه آن مي نشانيد بهارش گل با زخم جسد هاي كسان. فكر مي كردم در ره چه عبث كه از اين جاي بيابان هلاك مي تواند گذرش باشد هر راهگذر باشد او را دل فولاد اگر و برد سهل نظر در بد و خوب كه هست و بگيرد مشكل ها آسان. و جهان را داند جاي كين و كشتار و خراب و خزلان. ولي اكنون به همان جاي بيابان هلاك بازگشت من مي بايد ، با زيركي من كه به كار، خواب پر هول و تكاني كه ره آورد من از اين سفرم هست و هنوز چشم بيدارم و هر لحظه بر آن مي دوزد ، هستي ام را همه در آتش بر پا شده اش مي سوزد. از براي من ويران سفر گشته مجال دمي استادن نيست منم از هركه در اين ساعت غارت زده تر همه چيز از كف من رفته به در دل فولادم با من نيست همه چيزم دل من بود و كنون مي بينم دل فولادم مانده در راه. دل فولادم را بي شكي انداخته است دست آن قوم بدانديش در آغوش بهاري كه گلش گفتم از خون وز زخم. وين زمان فكرم اين است كه در خون برادرهايم -ناروا در خون پيچان بي گنه غلتان در خون- دل فولادم را زنگ كند ديگرگون. نیما یوشیج

Ey Khodaa Hayedeh
	October 2005 Once again, another calamity, another earthquake, this time in Pakistan, where next? Can this be avoided and / or  prevented? Can the human suffering be minimized? The answer is yes.

Wednesday, 31 August 2005 Asiatic cheetahs caught on camera. This remarkable image of Asiatic cheetahs was captured by automatic equipment in an isolated region of Iran's Dar-e Anjir Wildlife Refuge. There are only 60 of these beautiful cats left in Asia, most of them in Iran.

"Yaghooti", (Ruby) grapes of Astaneh,  8/9/2005 The best yaghooti comes from the village of "Sarsakhti", 4 miles (about 6 Kilometers) to the southeast of Astaneh. In Astaneh, the Aroosaneh Orchards have very good yaghooti too. When you eat them, watch out for ladybugs.

Aerial view of Astaneh, from 10 Miles (about 15 kilometers) above. Shazand is in the upper right hand corner of the picture. Elevation (in feet), latitude and longitude as well as the eye altitude (in Miles) can be seen at the bottom of the picture.

Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005 Another Sorrowful  News. Earthquake in Zarand, Iran. The question is: could this be avoided? The answer is: YES.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah
