Today I remember a Wise advice of my mom.God bless her, she told me “when you will be a father, can understand your parent»

Many years ago when I was a student, away from home and family, each of the call phone with Mom make me happy and I forgot homesick filling ,  I was happy to hear the sound of the merciful mother. And this was a way to inform all of my family that I am healthy.

It was too far from Isfahan to Rasht, it was impossible to go home every time you wanted. Only hearing of the voice of mom was a nice drug to help me

I can remember those days, we have call home by public telephone –those day nobody has cellphone- we have to find coin to call and stay in a line, waiting to your turn. If people in cabin stay long to speaking, others inform her/his to finish call. It was a bad chance if you find a soldier who was speaking his girlfriend. The apartment which we rented did not have phone so we have to go out. Thursday evening was the best time of calling; we went out to walking.

Sometime the school work makes me busy and I could not think anything; I do not have time to think of home and homesickness filling. I only think about lesson. That time I could not go out and call home. Sometimes 10 or 15 days pass and family did not know about me. Of course, I also had a record of 25 days missing.

Distance and to be away from home make kind mother worried about me, when she heard my voice by phone the first question was about any problem of mine, ask me about my health and the reason of no calling. When I told mom about my lesson and business she told me “so busy you could not call 2 min “ 

I told mom do not worry about me, and asked her about other. I just make funny speaking to make mom happy. I said about everything but mom told me “you cannot get my filing, you have to be mother, but unfortunately you cannot, but some day you will be father, I wish you understand me”

Many years have passed. So many times I heard my mom’s complaint about my calling. She only told me “you can get my filling if you will be father”. I got married, and my son was born. My son makes me a father but I do not filling of mom’s whishing, until a few days ago I fill my mom with my heart.

How many time you try to say other about of pain of burning. If other did not burn cannot understand of burn filing. It is a special pain it is not similar others, so, if you did not burn you don’t fill that pain. May be you fill pain of bone fracture but those have different filling. 

Navid- my son- went to camp by school pupil for 4 days. School of Navid has a nice roll of two times a year camping. Pupil cannot bring cellphone to call; it is another roll of school. He has a telephone Card to call home. In past camp he had called every day but this camp he did not call home all 4 days. School makes a SMS center to noticed parent about pupil. So SMS center told me when I have to be in train station. This was a chance Navid call me and told me the time of arrival, but he did not call me. I had phone No. of Navid’s camp, but I did not call him. May be I think about pride of teenager and I do not want to make a baby filling for my son.  Four days I did not hear a single voice of Navid. 

Every time my mobile rang I thought it is Navid. I ask Kimya and Nikta (wife and daughter) about calling of Navid. I remember my mom and her filling. Navid has a very nice and good time in camp. It can be a great experience for them, to learn more and more, but this camping was a great experience for me. I got a filling which I do not test it.

Very interesting accident was the city of camping, it was Isfahan.

Rudkhan Castle in Gilan , Iran

Rudkhan Castle in Gilan , Iran
                                                                                                   فارسی

In The top of the mountain after all effort for difficult climbing you find a huge and beautiful Castle which remind you about some people who fought for their homeland, the people who believed and for their creed, they fought and died.

We’ve heard about Ismailiyyah and the story of Hassan-e Sabah and their castles all over Iran - ALAMOUT in Qazvin is the most famous of them- you can find history of their power in all cities of Iran. They made castles and live in it. Rudkhan Castle is one of them. It was a military complex which had been constructed during Seljuk Dynasty by followers of Ismailiyyah sect.

The castle located on one of the heights of Alborz mountain range in the midst of dense forest. It is Located 25 km southwest of Foman city north of Iran in Gilan province, with an area of 2.6 hectare, about 1500 meter wall and 65 meter of the tower and rampart. The Castle has been constructed at 665-715 meter above sea level.

Maybe it was built in Sassanid Empire, it was repaired renewal at Seljuk Dynasty, also in the same period it was the shelter of Fellowship Hassan-e Sabah.

Many years ago when I was young and tried to go hiking and mountain climbing I stayed one night in this castle, I stayed a night in glory of silence, without any artificial noise. I heard sing of Nightingale, birds, watch huge trees, wall stone, and tower. I was surprised to stay in a place which my brothers fight with enemy and defeat them.

In the morning I found big trees which used to be a nice curtain to hide castle for protecting it from evil enemies. But now a day the Trees are the enemy. They tried to kill castle. Rote of tree and humidity of climate made wall as ruin.

But these years, as if the magic hands have been busy rebuilding the Castle's ability. Part of the castle is rebuilt. It is nice to protect our asset for futures to show them who brave people have lived in this country regardless of their opinion. May be we did not accept their religion but we have to admire their Endurance and resistance to fight enemy.

A beautiful Castle on the top of the mountain is stay to climb on the slippery wet step, was a place of archers and soldiers who defense castle of enemy. Now a day you can go up and go in the castle through the open gate without any fear of archers. The gate is open for lots of people who are eager to know about their past and try to learn about it.

Seeing Rudkhan Castle again after many years was surprisingly joyful and full of happiness for me. My children walk on top of the mountain and tried to be in the right time of castle, the time of splendor, glory and magnificent

I was happy to show my son and daughter about my homeland.

Lester and his magic wishes

 Lester and his magic wishes
فارسی

Lester was given a magic wish
By the goblin who lives in the banyan tree,
And with his wish he wished for two more wishes–
So now instead of just one wish, he cleverly had three.
And with each one of these
He simply wished for three more wishes,
Which gave him three old wishes, plus nine new.
And with each of these twelve
He slyly wished for three more wishes,
Which added up to forty-six–or is it fifty-two?
Well anyway, he used each wish
To wish for wishes ’til he had
Five billion, seven million, eighteen thousand thirty-four.
And then he spread them on the ground
And clapped his hands and danced around
And skipped and sang, and then sat down
And wished for more.
And more…and more…they multiplied
While other people smiled and cried
And loved and reached and touched and felt.
Lester sat amid his wealth
Stacked mountain-high like stacks of gold,
Sat and counted–and grew old.
And then one Thursday night they found him
Dead–with his wishes piled around him.
And they counted the lot and found that not
A single one was missing.
All shiny and new–here, take a few
And think of Lester as you do.
In a world of apples and kisses and shoes
He wasted his wishes on wishing.
