He then went to Europe and to US to study and live. Recently he told me that his biggest regret in his life was to have lost the love of his life, "Shokoofeh." I asked him why at 50, he should be pining away at a love he had had when he was 16, and he said, because I believe Shokoofeh's love would have given me the energy and balance I have been lacking all my life, searching for that love. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your comment Bijan Jan.Nazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077066782490668686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194313722894510392.post-70796806762464766622007-12-24T10:02:00.000-08:002007-12-24T10:02:00.000-08:00Salam Bar Bijan:Thank you for coming and reading a...Salam Bar Bijan:<BR/><BR/>Thank you for coming and reading and leaving a peace of your obviously romantic heart here!

That was an amazing thing you did all by yourself, in the falling snow, and with scant clothing and shoes! I am really impressed, and I thank you for your thoughtfulness and excellent citizenship. You are right, not everyone is aware of their environment and their duties. I always say that years of dictatorship has caused Iranians to always blame someone else for their plight, seldom remembering their own responsibilities about the situation and the way out. Everybody must start with themselves to bring change about. I'm sorry for your cuts and bruises. I hope they will heal quickly.

I said the words in quotation marks exactly as they were relayed to me. Sometimes reality beats poetry in beauty, don't you think? I think I answered the question pertaining to names. The names are made up.<BR/><BR/>Many people don't have access to Farsi software, and however way they describe their feelings and thoughts, in Farsi, in English, or in Finglish, is fine with me. I can make out the intent. I don't have MS Word in Farsi, either, and I have to go through hoops for the few Farsi things that I do post here. It's a hard thing, trust me.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Tara is very very intelligent. In fact, Maryam says that just a few days before this incident, probably at the same time that Amir was thinking about Maryam, one day Tara asked her if she had ever been in love, or if she had ever been loved before her father. She says she told Tara that there had been a boy in her school when she was very young. I am not sure if Tara made the association at that time, but I still believe it was very bold of her to take the initiative. I have read these parts of the story to Tara, and she keeps giggling and taking full credit for all of this. Wait until you hear the rest of the story.
