A cozy place for myself...For the days that I want to share my feelings and my thoughts and for the days that I need to know how I felt and thought in the past.

For each forgotten kiss

For each forgotten kiss
For all the memories
For all the times alone
Said all we had to say

You played your part so well
A modern Romeo
You came on Cupid's wings
And then you flew away

When you touch my face
When you call my name
I'm burned with desire

When you touch my face
When you call my name
I'm burned with desire
But you left me in the rain

For every sleepless night
Forever in your arms
For every hour spent
Lost in the revery

You broke your promises
No shame and no regrets
You burned the bridges too
An endless mystery

When you touch my face
So beautiful
When you call my name
My name...
I'm burned with desire

When you touch my face
So beautiful
When you call my name
My name...
I'm burned with desire
But you left me in the rain

When you touch my face
So beautiful
When you call my name
My name...
I'm burned with desire

When you touch my face
When you call my name
I'm burned with desire
But you left me in

A sad Salman, a very SAD ONE!!

Each and every one of us, has his/her own issue. It's life which is playing with us. In the world of illusions, we just see what we have to see.We just play, What the director of life has decided for us to play. I know that it's sad but it's true. There are some moments in the life that we are just behind a glass, we see, it makes us sad, we want to change it, we reach our hand out to touch it, to change it. Our hands hit the glass and it hurts. it really does. We can see, we can feel, We can't change. It's hard to see when a man cry, when a real man cry. When a real man, which is basically capable of doing anything, can not do anything. When human with all its complex and advanced knowledge can not do anything. Who can stand this sadness? We can't do anything..........

We are just some simple part of this life, it's the director of this life which gives us roles to play. If the role is over, we are over too ........

Sad Salman, A very SAD one....

I know we could live tomorrow ......

It's cold around here....

It's night here....

Night and all its stars are dancing with me...

I'm waiting for tomorrow.

I know we could live tomorrow but I want to live today....

Who can say if we would be here tomorrow ? Who can say what we should or what we shouldn't do today? I know we could live tomorrow but I want to live today..

I don't want to wait. No execuse, no sorrow, no hassle. I live today, I know what I want to do, and I know that I can do it. I'm going to do it.........

I know we could do that tomorrow.....

Salman

One breath at a time...

I didn't write this one,but this is so nice....

You've got to live for the moment;
Today you're alive -- tomorrow you might not be...

Never take love for granted;
and never lose sight
of the things you feel
but you just cannot see...

You've got to reach for the summit...
'til you can no longer climb

Remember: life is priceless; and...you've got to live it...

One breath at a time...

No excuses; no holding back; just...
One breath at a time...

Don't rush it through; don't let it pass you by...
live it...
One breath at a time...
One breath at a time...

It should be so very easy for each of us to see
that...at any moment
fate can turn on a dime

So live life while you're in it;
there's simply nothing more sublime;

You've got treasure every minute...

You've got to reach for the summit...
'til you can no longer climb

Remember: life is priceless; and...you've got to live it...

One breath at a time...

No excuses; no holding back; just...
One breath at a time...

Don't rush it through; don't let it pass you by...
live it...
One breath at a time...
One breath at a time...

And when I just can't seem
to make it through another day,
That's when I'm haunted
By the words you used to say:

You've got to reach for the summit...
'til you can no longer climb

Remember: life is priceless; and...you've got to live it...

One breath at a time...

No excuses; no holding back; just...
One breath at a time...

Don't rush it through; don't let it pass you by...
live it...
One breath at a time...
One breath at a time...

I am life itself.

I didn't write this one, it's really nice ....

A lover knows only humility.
He has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret,
he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break
the chains of his imprisonment, he has no choice.

A lover asked his beloved:
- Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.

I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.

I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed , revealed , in the unknown, in the
un-manifest.
I am life itself.

You have been a prisoner of a little pond
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

I desire you more than food or drink
My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passion for one gesture one
glance from you.

Novels and their Power

Many of us have experienced that special moment when we fall in love with a book and can’t stop reading it. For 13-year-old Mordecai Richler, the moment comes when he starts All Quiet on the Western Front. He starts reading the book and soon fills seduced by the novel. It creates turbulence in his life and eventually obligates him to see the truth. The novel has a deep effect on his point of view. The novel changes his assumptions about fiction and Germans

For the young Richler, novels are untrue and romantic stories. He looks for facts and reality not for untrue novels: “I want fact. I can’t be bothered with stories … I just haven’t got the time for such non-sense” (P 65). There are some reasons that he likes facts and true stories. He use these book to show that he is a smart boy. As a teenage boy, he is experiencing lack of attention from girls. This is one of the reasons he pays more attention to reading serious book. Despite this fact he falls in love with the novel and, like all the great loves, the affair challenges his presumptions. He admits this when he writes:
“I never expected that a mere novel, a stranger’s tale, could actually be dangerous, creating such turbulence in my life, obligating me to question so many received ideas”(P 66). Reading the All Quiet on the Western Front wakes him up to show him the power of novel and its effects.


In 1944 and before Richler reads the novel, He was wishing “an excruciating death” for every German on the earth. He was cheering every German city that was bombed. He saw Germans as cruel enemies. When he started reading the book, he didn’t know that it would change his impression about Germans. The novel that reveals a lot of truths that Richler didn’t realize was unaware of. One of the truths is that Germans are like any other human being. As story goes, he finds more similarity between German soldiers and himself, which enables him to empathize with them. This empathy continues and eventually novel wins his love for a German’ soldier.

Novels and fictions will help us to sense and experience the story. They will touch the soul and heart of reader and eventually will help him or her to understand the story. As an example the recalled novel creates a connection between being a young Jewish in 1944 and feeling sorry for the death of German soldiers. It shows that such a thing is possible through the magic of novel and its power to open the eyes of readers.
All Quiet on the Western Front is the sample of a powerful novel which “seduces” Richler and eventually changes his worldview and reading habits.

The Old Woman

“The Old Woman” is about a woman called Molly who has left England and has immigrated to Canada to live with her husband. They had known each other for few months when they married in England. Soon after marriage her husband has left her to come to Canada. For her, it has been three years of waiting and loneliness while her husband has been busy with his beloved power-house.
A house close to a noisy waterfall, several miles away from the nearest town, taciturn people with French-Canadian culture are numerous problems that she has to deal with. The author, Joyce Marshall, has pointed loneliness as one of the most important issues that can hurt an immigrant in a new country.
The story starts in the station at Montreal. Molly has found that her husband is changed. “It was more than the absence of uniform. His face seemed so still, and there was something about his mouth—a sort of slackness. And at times she would turn and find him looking at her, his eyes absorbed and watchful” (Marshall 34). The word “still”, “slackness” and “watchful” shows that he is not interested to see his wife. Molly feels that her husband doesn’t have enough attention to her. Despite the sad condition, she tries to tell herself that her husband would be closer to her when they get home. It’s a romantic morning when they leave the train. “It was grey dawn faintly disturbed with pink when they left the train” (Marshall 34). After a long journey over the snow they arrive home. Molly is tired and she needs a quiet and friendly environment but the sound of the waterfall is annoying her.
This inconvenience situation and lack of attention from her husband is increasing her fear of loneliness. It reminds her last three years, three years of waiting and loneliness. She has left England to escape the loneliness. She deserves it. She doesn’t have family or relative and she is far from her friends, this fact is increasing her dependency on her husband. He doesn’t help her to settle into new life.

Another issue that Molly is experiencing is environmental loneliness. Not only her husband doesn’t spend time with her but also she doesn’t know any neighbour. As Marshal writes:
“There were no neighbours within miles, no telephone calls or visits from milkman or baker—only one of Toddy’s sweepers coming in once a fortnight with supplies and mail from Missawani” (P 37.) If it was a crowded and friendlier neighborhood or if she knew some people around her, there would be fewer issues. Coldness, grey and cloudy sky, lack of sun, taciturn people are parameters that are helping loneliness to take over molly’s life. When I first came to Canada, I was living in Richmond Hill which is a quiet area. I can remember how lonely I felt. I felt there's no one in my life that I can share my feelings with. I came to the conclusion that I’m unacceptable and unlovable. But actually that wasn’t because of me, it was society which made me feel that way. Molly in “The Old Woman” has the same feeling. She came from a European-style country where people are friendlier and warmer. It must be so hard for her to leave in a house so far from any neighborhood.

Immigration is a long and complex process and relocation to another country is not easy. A different culture and a different life-style will increase the issues that an immigrant is experiencing in the new country. Without any doubt, loneliness is one the most important problems that will affect a newcomer’s life. “The Old Woman” has demonstrated that how a woman can be hurt by her husband if he doesn’t show compassion and understanding for her situation as an immigrant in the new country.

Simple Life .....

People say "I want peace." If you remove I (ego), and your want (desire), you are left with peace.

With a few flowers in my garden, half a dozen pictures and some books, I live without envy.- Lope de Vega

Let's .......

Let’s talk about green forests
Let’s share our dreams
Let’s find a way to get away of this busy world.
Let’s leave people to do crazy things everyday
Let’s kiss the rain, let’s join the sun’s army.
Let’s cover the crimson hearts
Let’s close our eyes, let’s feel the darkness. Isn’t it easier when you don’t see the cruel world?
Let’s be together. Let’s be together. Let’s be mine, let’s be yours, we belong to you and me.

.......هنوز آنجاست



ميچينم آن ثانيه هايی را که به تو فکر می کنم. ميچينم آن ناب ترين لحظه های زندگی را
ميچينم آنها را

ميچينم آنها را و می کارم آنها را سرزمین حاصل خیز آرزوهایم....
از آنها گل عشق می روید. تا رویش گل عشق در کنارش بیدار میمانم و برایش از یاد دستهای
مهربانت گهواره میسازم ........ آن را از چشمه های پاک نگاهت سیراب می کنم
آنگاه گل عشق را می چینم و به موهایت سنجاقش میکنم
آنجا از عطر موهایت لبریز میشود
گل نازنین را بر میدارم و در سبزه زارهای زنگیم می کارم
خورشید را می بینم که خندان است و به من میگوید
در سرزمین های زیر سلطه یال های طلاییم ؛ خوشبو ترین گل ها گل توست
من می خندم و می دانم که عطر موهایت
.......هنوز آنجاست

I used to ...........

I used to think that I was strong
I realise now I was wrong
'Cause every time I see your face
My mind becomes an empty space
And with you lying next to me
Feels Like I can hardly breathe

I close my eyes
The moment I surrender to you
Let love be blind
Innocent and tenderly true
So lead me through tonight
But please turn out the light
'Cause I'm lost every time I look at you

And in the morning when you go

Wake me gently so I'll know
That loving you was not a dream
And whisper softly what it means to be with me
Then every moment we're apart
Will be a lifetime to my heart

I close my eyes
The moment I surrender to you
Let love be blind
Innocent and tenderly true
So lead me through tonight
But please, please turn out the light
'Cause I'm lost every time I look at you
Lost. Every time I look at you

Crash

Last night I watched the movie “Crash”. It was a good movie. It has a great plot. It’s considering real life issues. From realistic point of view, this is a nice and fair movie but at the same time it’s experiencing lack of humanity. Usually you can learn something from movies. Personally I go to movies to be trained, to be entertained. This movie is describing the reality of some people’s every day tragedy. I didn’t learn anything from that. I was looking for a great message in every section of movie and unfortunately it leaved me craving for that.
I would have rather seen The Upside of Anger. When we begin with anger, violence and uneven life, we should address it correctly. Director leaved us at the same side as we began the story.
If director is looking for us to come and finalize the story, he has not given us enough resources to do so. Nonetheless, I want to say that this movie is an excellent depiction of what America has become because of the lack of communication, understanding and emotion. I strongly believe that at the 21st century we expect art to come and help us to change this crimson world.

Lack of Sleep.

As a busy person, I have been always working on several tasks simultaneously and eventually I don't get enough time to sleep. Those they were my colleague in Iran know me as a hard worker and none-stop guy. It was four years ago that I received a letter from Microsoft, appreciating my hardworking on IT and networking. At that time, I was thinking about Nerd wise life.

I was begging for a situation to work and live like Microsoft’s nerds. When I went to Canada, my dream welcomed true. I start working at a very high-tech position in an ASP company.
I was working from 8:30 AM till 1 or 2 AM. That was perfect. Doing several R&D tasks, I was extremely busy. I rarely found time to see my family and friends. Last June there was a communication issue between Vancouver and Vietnam VoIP routes. I spent almost 19 hours per day to solve that issue. As a person with bad headaches, sleep depriving is not a good
Option. Recently I have been sleeping even lower than 4 hours per 24 hours. Frequently I read some articles about the disadvantages of sleep depriving. I’m looking for a way to coordinate my tasks with the time that I have. Your comments are highly appreciated.

Vital Information:
• In a person who is sleep-deprived, one part of the brain shuts down while other parts will kick in to help compensate.
• Regardless of the brain's attempt to overcome sleep deprivation, a sleep-deprived person cannot perform mental tasks as well as someone who is well-rested.
• For brain recovery, the early part of sleep each night is the most important.

Unbelievable Creativity....

I have been in touch with Japanese people last week and to be honest to you I have learned tens of ideas from them.
They are humans with high level IQ, powerful imagination and excellent execution. Their creativity is awesome. They love to be pioneer; they love to create new and unique things. Their best products are dedicated for internal usage whereas they export their low quality products. Amazing thing is that their low quality product has the highest quality in the world. If you buy a car in Japan, it comes with full functionality. If you buy the same card made by Japan in another country you will find several missed facilities.

Everybody knows that Japan is not a wide country and they have lack of land for creating energy. But they need energy for their factories.
As the major city of Japan,Tokyo is the most populated city in the country. Everybody heard about its great and powerful intercity transportation.
Yeah, that’s it. They are using it as a source of electrical power. If you have been using metro entrances, you should be familiar with entrance stuffs like turnstiles.

A turnstile!


As a populated city, everyday tens of thousands of people are passing turnstiles. Each time that a person passes these turnstiles is turning a turbine to creating electricity power.

Think about it and you will find out why they are becoming the leader of Technology and science.

Canada Day!

Three days ago,1st of July, was Canada day. We went to lakeshore to see the fire work. Toronto is a big city with normal population. But At that night, almost everyone was in the street. Tens of thousands of people were happy and all together to celebrate Canada day. They were all there to say that they are proud of this free and great country. I was proud too. We were all Persian but we were signing “O’ Canada “when we were sitting at lake shore. At a moment when I was whispering “Our home and native land!” I missed something in my heart. Canada was not my native land. How could I change my native land?

The idea of having a day for our country is a perfect one. But it shouldn’t contain any ideology or a religion. It should be all about Iran, just Iran, neither democratic nor any other kind of Iran. It should be dedicated to Iran itself.

What do you think about a celeberation day for Iran?

Can You believe ....????!!!!!!!

I was working on a windows 2003 machine in Chicago today and I found that it needs to be updated with service pack 1.
As usual, I accepted Microsoft update request and then installation wizard appeared. I just shocked when I saw the file size, it was about 140 MB.

For me, it means that this …. Microsoft forgot to put half of kernel with the released version.

With a cable internet download time will be 3 mins.
With an ADSL bandwidth it will take 3 hours to download it.
With a dial-up connection , download time will be 18 hours.
(Consider that in this case you are sitting behind of your PC and your fingers are crossed to have a reliable connection)


Now please figure it out:

Whole procedure in Canada: 9 mins
Whole procedure in Iran : 27 hours
