Patriot

An obvious specification which is seen in iranians is that they are patriots.No matter where they are,they never forget their motherland and culture.I think it's because of the 2500-year civilization of persia that cause iranians feel pride to the other nations. you can see the effect of this reality in my blog which is full of the words that somehow are related to Iran and Iranians.What do you feel about your country?Are you a patriot?

Kananaskis Hiking

2008-04-04T16:36:00.000-06:00

Two weeks ago, my brother, my friend, who had came from Toronto to stay with us during the Iranian New Year’s holiday, and I decided to go Kananaskis for hiking. We woke up at ten o'clock and packed all the things which might be needed such as some snacks, a bottle of water and warm clothes. Then we left home at 10:30. It is about two hours driving to reach Kananaskis hiking path. The weather was little cold. So, all the ponds and lakes, which are in the side of the Calgary - Kananaskis road, were frozen. We stopped several times on the way to take some pictures with amazing background views. Finally, we found Kananaskis hard because my brother and I were there only once. But we did it! We got off the car, then worn our warm clothes. At the end of the Kananaskis hiking path, there is a beautiful waterfall and we had planned to go there. We started hiking during. During the way we saw two families, and talked to them. I think they were Canadian. The hiking path was frozen by snow. The shadow of height trees made it impossible to receive sunshine there. Consequently, the weather was felt colder due to that reason. After a long hiking, we reached the waterfall. I did not expect to see frozen waterfall. It was such an amazing view. We all were tired. So, decided to sit and have some snack. My friend attempted to break the frozen waterfall by throwing stone to it. But, it was conceivable to do that because the frozen water was really hard. I enjoyed the nature while i was listening to my favourite music. We spent an hour there, and then we started to go to the car and go back home. At the middle of the way, we parked next to a Burger King to eat something. We arrived home at 7, we all were out of energy to do something else.

I hope you will have an opportunity to go there.

The movie is about a very famous and successful santoor player. The name of the leading role in this movie is Ali. Ali was born in a religious and wealthy family. Ali found his uncle's santoor in their warehouse when he was a child. He was motivated to learn how to play it. So, he had been practicing hard for several years and finally he became good at playing santoor. But his religious parents could not tolerate their son, because hard-line Muslim individuals believe that playing musical instruments is illegitimate. Ultimately, they decided to kick their son out of the house because Ali was indifferent about his parents believes. ...

Banff Trip

2008-02-23T18:36:00.000-07:00

I went to Banff and Lake Louise with my Uncle’s family and my brother a month ago. There was annual ice festival next to the Lake Louise Hotel. I had never seen a frozen lake before this trip. The weather was so cold, something about mines forty. People were skating on the lake. Some elegant artist was making ice sculpture. Each of them was working on their model. But the most beautiful one was an icy crocodile which has been made by an Italian sculptor. We took lots of pictures and we left there to go to the motel which my uncle had reserved. It was in Banff and when we arrived there, a fireplace attracted me a lot. I always like to make a fire and sit next to that and think about something, especially in silence of nights. My aunt suggested us to go to the hotel’s swimming pool. When we came back I was almost out of energy, and I slept about 10 hours in that night. We must have checked out the room the day after, so we woke up early and packed our staffs in order to come back to Calgary. When I was in my home country I used to think Iran is the most beautiful country, but now I should say that each parts of the world has its beauties because I became familiar with the some amazing parts of Canada.

My New Business

2008-02-22T15:17:00.000-07:00

Last week I thought I would have a great holiday. But my older brother has been sick for four days and I should take care of him, because we live together. My parents are in our home country and I am the only person who can help my brother. I don't know why he has not recovered after 4 days, but he is absolutely better than the first day he's caught flu. I became familiar some of the basic needs in order to take care of a patient. For example, I had never cocked any soup but I did it 3 days ago, I had made an schedule to make sure to don't forget the time he should use his pills but u did it at the first day and I had never experienced of a twenty four hours without any second of sleeping but I did it! I think when you live alone you learn how to stand on your feet. I wanted to have fun during this week but I couldn't. Yesterday, I had a funny deal with Behzad, who is my brother; I told him he should give me 100 dollars because I lost my beautiful holiday. And he accepted that, Can you imagine that? At the end, I want to inform you i have started a new business, taking care of patient! If you one day feel you are sick you will need just tell me, but BE aware of 100 dollars charge for each 4 days.

Life is Repetition

2008-01-20T19:55:00.000-07:00

Life is something like a rotating apple. If you look around yourself you will see some events happen in a certain period. The best example is to listen to your heart beating. But some of us do not understand how kind life is. Bridge and wall have two opposite meanings. In this blog I will try to talk about the important things happen to me. So, I want to act like a bridge, to make you familiar with myself. If you think I am like a wall, there is a solution; you have a choice to jump the wall. In my view people's blogs are like a mirror which shows you the most valuable image about them. Anyway, I am really happy to have nice friends from the last and following semesters. So, I hope you enjoy my blog, if you have any comments and suggestion to improve this blog I will be really happy to receive them. I really like this quotation “Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get.” (Forrest Gump). But almost all the chocolates are sweet, so if you feel bitter, find out why did you pick a bitter Chocolate. I am sure this semester we will have sweet moments.
