DESPRATION AFTER ELECTION

There is a general depressive silence in the space after election, you can feel it even at web, many of weblogs are not updated since then.
I thought as many others there is competition between reformism Dr.Moein and fundamentalist Rafsanjani, any way it won't be so bad.
Neither of us thought the conservative could stand at the peak of power again, those grey years after revolution could repeat again, where happiness and laughing were forbidden, where bright colours as red yellow orange, pink were defined as slutty and were forbidden, where dance and music was forbidden.
where young girls were obligated to wear the darkest and ugliest uniform in the world.
Where speaking about love, being in love and making love was extremely forbidden.
Our young generation , our woman, our writers and journalist fought for along time to get back partially of what which was taken from them.
what happened that we went back again, they speak of cheating in result, however it is happened I believe it, I am so tired and fed up with all dirty bloody politic, what should we do now? Take one Look at traffic system and streets in Tehran to know how liable is this new Mr president ex major, however Tehran had once a very good major who made the city look beautiful, he begun from south part of Tehran ( where is the poor part ) made many parks, culture centres, planted every where beautiful flowers and painted all ugly old buildings after all these work where he ended was not the chair of president but he was put in jail!
I do not think that judging by appearance is right but looking at Iranian president and looking to US president I am afraid that our planet will be soon turned to the planet of apes!!

Paris

For nearly a week we were in Paris mainly because of Air Show which our company had also a stand there,but as our Hotel was situated in centre of town near Notre Dome , we (or mostly I) managed to do easily a lot of sight seeing, we climbed the Eiffel Tower, were at Jardine du Luxemburg and dined with my dear friend Aude,
I shopped at champs-Elysees ,went to Louvre and because of time deficiency looked mostly the Iranian Partthere, remembering what my history teacher at high school said " The most important precious part of Perspolis is not in Iran but in Louvre!" And she was right!
I visited also the Pompidou centre the museum of modern art, I was impressed by the extra ordinary shape of building but honestly I found the most artwork there only hideous and ugly , only a few works looked impressive, but generally the parisians are very tasteful and artistic and that is what you can see in every aspect of general every day life!
The Air Show was also interesting but maybe in my point of view was not very good organized.
At our way back to England , there was a traffic jam(mainly in Air Show area and Paris) that we could not reach our ferry and waited almost 2 hours there for the next one, we were at at 2:30 am at home!

Thank you guys that you made us happy and proud!
But most of the all compliments to that group of Iranian girls and women who bravely succeed to break the antiwoman law and enter to the football stadium(In Iran women are not permitted into football areas as the government considers stadiums could be an UNHEALTHY environment for them.)

Azadi square in Tehran and freedom chain by fans of Dr.moin the president candidate!

To vote or not to vote?

As the the Iraninan president election gets closer, there is a big concern for Iranians to get involve in election or not, the group who doesn't want to get involve in election argue mostly that in the system of government of Iran the president has not enough power to perform the desired reforms towards democracy, in the past 8 years of presidency of Khatami most of the young generation who elected him with great expectation where disappointed, however the sweet smile of khatami changed a little the image of Iran in world as the International press described him as mullah with friendly face, but he didn't have enough power to make structural Changes toward democracy, there are stills many political prisoner's in Iran and still many writers and journalist and even webloggers are sent to the prison because of statement of their belief,economically in spite of Iran's big oil reservoir and fortune ,there are still many problems with inflation and unemployment.
But in spite of every thing and against all great odds in my point of view when we don't participate in fate of our country we will not be able to change anything, we should accept the changes would be graduate and needs its time, it is easy and fast to destroy but constructing and making progress is more difficult and slowly.
and as far as I am concerned it is important not to let the conservatives take the power again and win.
On the otherhand the situation did get better in compare to the past and the Iran today is not the same which I left in 1996 , at that time I was a young girl whose basic right and freedom was taken away, and I am not sure if I have had lived in today's Iran I would have immigrated to Europe!
