Norooz Customs
In harmony with the rebirth of nature, the Iranian New Year Celebration, or NOROOZ, always begins on the first day of spring.
Norooz ceremonies are symbolic representations of two ancient concepts -
the End and the Rebirth; or Good and Evil.
A few weeks before the New Year, Iranians

I see faces,
they come and go.
I hear sentences, words and letters,
they are without sense and contents.
I see pictures,
they disintegrate to dust.
I recognize hands, many hands,
but I can’t catch them.
I feel coldness,
and find no warmth.
I experience grief, sorrow and pain,
and, nevertheless, can give no consolation.
I look into a deep abyss,
however, the abyss looks into me.
But, I see a bright light in the dark tunnel,
Faces, sentences, pictures, hands, warmth and consolation around it;

all friends, please share parts of my picture in this trip.
With a great pleasure I am attempting to write about one of the most mervellous books I've ever read.
A love story and what a love story it is! It engenders paradoxes; Love VS Pride.
This story is taken from the great Novel written by one of the most popular English writers Jean Austen.
In my opinion, it is not only a typical story of the English society of that time but also it reflects what is our hiden reality of societies nowadays...
The film has been shortened because of the lack of time, suppo
we shall meet in winter
at the rail station....in baghdad
to strange sparrows
wanted shivering
under the train
migrated for the farthest
at the corner of the gulf
nestless we've lost our home
we've lost the addresses
of our friends
there remained alone
known to no one but the rain
تحت المطر
سنلتقي في الشتاء
عند المحطة في بغداد
نبتل تحت المطر
فنرتعش....
عصفوران غريبان
هاجرا من اقاصى الجنوب
عند زاوية الخليج
مالنا عش
وليس لنا مستقر
اضعنا كل عناوين الاصدقاء
وبقينا وحيدين
ما يعرفنا غير المطر

Lately on Saturday afternoon, T and I went to shopping. Going through Kham Thien street I suddenly had a strange feeling…. Still that house, ya, but I don’t know why that time I felt a feeling of closeness , of intimacy, but also feeling of distance by something, by someone… I miss you and people in that house….I miss this place….There is not now a figure of an old man sitting on a small chair outside the door , enjoying the view of everybody in the street….I myself didn’t forget that .

I ask you to tell about your favorite dish,or the one you cook often.

I was wondering,what other women might prepare for dinner or lunch for their families at the other parts of the globe.
You can add here your favorite dish,and the recipe of it,with the method how it is prepared.It can be an easy one,or the food your family prefers.
It'll be interesting to share meals of other cultu
What is English learning like in China? Why are there so many learners of English there? You will find all the answers in the video 'Insights from China' by Daniel Emmerson. Emmerson has produced several such documentaries and inspired learners here on MyEC to learn English. I have seen some of the documentaries and really enjoyed so much watching them.
