My Norouz!

I could never imagine a norouz like this! I used to beleive by the end of Esfand ,everyone feels excited, streets are crowded, people are very busy, everywhere you will see people buying and selling Sabzeh, samanoo,....

I could never imagine a year without visiting the family, without warm wishes of parents with the tears in their eyes, without getting shiny green bills from Baba when he takes them out of the old blue covered Quran.I didn't know spring can come without visiting the grand parents at the first day of it, I used to think the new year starts with the happiness and excitement of having a long holiday...

I'm expereincing a unique spring.Honestly, I don't feel Norouz is coming, and I envy those who have the feelig.To be honest, all the days are the same for me since I'm here.I could never imagine such a feeling before!

Anyways, I will whisper "Ya Moghallebalgholoob..." while working in the lab on Friday .It's too strange to work on the 1st of Farvardin!But I don't have any choice, because this week I'm reponsible for everything in the lab in absence of lab supervisor...

I wish all of you a great year, full of joy and success.Happy norouz!

my dearest,
I agree with you about the whole idea; however here is the place, where you can feel what minority means, where you feel some of the invaluable thoughts and concepts of you mean nothing for others. Nevetheless, living in a new country, esp. a country drastically different from yours is like a rebirth, after your previous life. Let me say I believe in a kind of incarnation in this case. I am sure everything is going to be alright azizam

See? it happens this easy! The first year you will miss norouz, may be next year you try to spend more time on your haftsin, you pay more attention to all that you beleived that had to be done, sabzi polo, sabzeh, haft sin, sonbol, ..
a few years will pass and you wil eventually give up. Parsa will have less problem, he will soon learn to say happy new year on first of Jan instead of 21 of March.
Let go of it, release the tension, let go of it, you are now having a new life in a new country an incarnation, the harder you try to keep them, the worse you will feel.

Hi there,

I've been following your blog and I really find it interesting. I love reading articles from a fellow Iranian abroad.

Btw, this Norouz, send flowers to your loved ones in Iran via ParsaFlora http://parsaflora.com
