La Vie En Rose

Powerful Life, Powerful Movie.

Shows when all doors to live a conventional life are closed, how unconventionally magnificant some individuals become!

Ps._ You need to have a designated driver after watching this movie, I had to drive for two hours after watching it and it was dangerous! (the closest theater with this movie on was two-hour drive away from where I live but quite worth the distance.)

Journalist Gets the Kafka Treatment


کافه ای در برکلی. خیابان شاتوک


در یک یکشنبه عصر آفتابی زمستانی روبرویش مینشینم


میگم: برام از اوین بگو


می دونم همه چیز رو به من نمیگه. بعدها که مقاله اش را درباره شرایط اوین میخونم میفهمم که درست فکر کردم


می پرسه:‌علی سربازی رفته؟ میگم آره. میگه خب پس براش راحت تره

میگم: علی خیلی مغروره. خورد میشه

میگه : با علی تو روزنامه شرق همکار بودم. هر کاری بشه میکنیم

میگم: نمی ترسی؟

میگه: خانوم! دیگه آب از سر ما گذشته


تند تند و جویده حرف زدنش منو یاد علی میندازه. انگار این آدمها بیانشون به پای سرعت مغزشون نمیرسه


امید معماریان برنده بالاترین جایزه حقوق بشر سازمان ملل-لقب مدافع حقوق بشر- وقتی باهاش حرف میزنی انگار که اصلا به خودش فکر نمیکنه. کریزمای شخصیتی خاصی داره

میگه امروز مقاله ام تو نیویورک تایمز چاپ میشه. چند تا سکه می اندازه تو جعبه. با شعف خاصی روزنامه رو در میاره. میگه ما روزنامه نگار هام عشقمون همینه


با خودم میگم این آدم اگه یه روزی رییس جمهور بشه میتونم بگم که در یک عصر زمستانی در برکلی با او قهوه خورده ام

February 26th.

This morning I woke up with mom's phone ring! Saying Happy Birthday, Her voice is still young and so comforting! She was exactly my age then when she first had me! Her voice is kind and calm, just like she is in peace with all the world, My dad used to say, your girls haven't got your patience! ...which is true! But you know what, I'm becoming more and more like her as it goes!
Today is the youngest day of the rest of my life, my aunt said! I go to work, there is a deadline approaching us closely, So I just concentrate on designing the facade for these downtown lofts. It's just a normal day, I peek through my orkut and email accounts hiddenly to check out my birthday messages.
On my way back home I stop by at Trader Joe's, buy a bunch of gorgeous deep orange flowers together with an Orchid and of course a really good bottle of Shiraz, Drive back home, put my livening flowers in vase, open my bottle and walk with my glass of red wine in one hand and phone on the other answering birthday calls and checking out birthday messages from all across the globe....

Last year I wanted to get rid of some weight, I did. Wished to exercise regularly, I did. (last time in yoga I was on the bridge pose, I slowly opened my eyes, I and the instructor were the only people there making it!) I wanted to change my job, I did....
Next year I'm moving to somewhere else..............


PS._ "I'm like a bird, I only fly away, I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is!....", my favorite song these days By Nelly Furtado.
