A Voice from Iran

“195th story”

There lived two brothers in a city. They had a shop full of suits for men.

Adam the older brother was responsible to stay near the door and with a great welcoming technique bring the customer into the store.

Aziz was the younger brother whose job was to show different suits to the customer and make them fall in love with it.

The two brothers had a unique strategy and a secret way for making sure the customer won’t leave the store, empty handed.

And the technique was; when the customer loved a suit, Aziz yelled to Adam: “How much is the black suit?”

Adam: “Which one?”

And Aziz described the suit, then Adam yelled the price: “$850.00”

Aziz pretended that he didn’t hear, then asked again: “How much?”

Adam: “$850.00”

And Aziz tells the customer: “$550.00”

The customer heard the $850.00 and thinks that Aziz couldn’t hear…

Se io, se lei

le pagine dei nostri libri

Se io, fossi stato un po’ meno distante
Un po’ meno orgoglioso, un po’ meno che
Se lei fosse stata un po’ meno gelosa
Un po’ meno nervosa, un po’ meno che
Ma se io, se lei, se io, se lei
Se noi avessimo dato all’amore la giusta importanza
L’impegno e il valore 
Se noi, amare vuol dire anche a volte 
annullarsi per dare qualcosa in più
Ma se io, se lei, se io, se lei, se lei Se io, se lei
Adesso dove sei
Sotto quale cielo pensi al tuo domani 
Sotto quale caldo lenzuolo 
Stai facendo bene l’amore
Sono contento ama, ama e non fermarti
E non aver nessuna paura
E non cercarmi dentro a nessuno
Se io, se lei Se io quando tutto finisce c’è sempre chi chiude la porta
E chi invece sta male
Se lei, chi ha sbagliato alla fine non conta
Conta solo che…

رصيف نمرة 6

حلم الدرويش

يستيقظ محمد على كل يوم مع صوت أذان الفجر , وبعد أن يفطر يخرج من بيته متوجها لمحطة مصر بحثا عن الرزق فقد ورث مهنة (الشيال) عن أبيه الراحل ولا يعرف له مهنة بديلة منذ 20عاما تزوج خلالها وأنجب 5 أبناء , وبفضل السعى على الرزق يوميا فى محطة رمسيس يتمكن من توفير مستلزمات الحياة الضرورية للعائلة من تعليم وكساء وأدوية .

بدأ العمل فى السابعة بعد تحية أصدقائه الشيالين وأصحاب الأكشاك على أرصفة المحطة , يسير بعزم وقوة متحديا أصابة سابقة فى قدمه اليمنى أضطرته لإجراء عملية جراحية وتثبيت مسامير بالقدم وأقعدته فى بيته لفترة طويلة كانت بمثابة أكثر أيام حياته بالغة السوء التى طالما تمنى عدم عودتها فى المستقبل .

قطار يأتى وقطار يذهب وبين القطارات تكمن حياته ,يشعر على أرصفة المحطة وكأنه فى بيته بعد أن قضى بها أوقات كثيرة تعادل أكثر من نصف عمره تقريبا , يعرض خدماته مع كل قطار بنفس الهمة والنشاط , لا…

Positivity {the power of a single positive thought}

Mmeme Mbambo

Don’t just let it change your day let it also change who you are and how you view the world

What was, what is and what will Instantly becomes meaningless if you become negative

Always believe in yourself, trust yourself and have a little faith

Have you ever met or talked to someone who just made you feel like you weren’t good enough, like no matter how hard you try you will always be average. Those people who are so bitter about life after talking to them you will feel like you will never be able to make it in life, you will never be successful, never be good enough and certainly never be happy. Well I would like to say this to you stay away from those people, stay away from negative people and their negativity they will do nothing but bring you down.

Only you have…

A Strange World

Shayan's Sphere

Oh, I can’t just see and can’t just hear,
My pen has lost its power to rhyme,
And I can’t find joys but unknown fears
Is slaying my nerves with passing of time.

Now they whose eyes are blind in greed,
Oh, they who yearn for endless glee,
Do break this world for all their needs
And rule this earth, O they do see!

Now they who hear not screams of pain
And live in bliss and turn deaf-ear,
Oh, they who can just sing in vain
Yet rule this earth, to them all hear!

Now they who bear not love in heart,
With shine of gold whose dark turns fair
And scatter all lands, do break and part
Yet rule this earth, for them we care!

Now they who speak with untold pride,
Oh, they who with their bad moods stick
And poison lands, from light who hide,
Yet…

I Wish

Kamal's Blogging Café

-Kamal Shrestha, 2011/ 2020
(From the book, “A CRUCIAL Journey of LIFE Begins”)

I wish rain,
When I am walking
To purify soul of life.


A cow-boy,
When I am living in village
To get supreme taste of life.


A traveller,
When I am beginning a journey
To love nature wildly in life.


Obstacles,
When I am adventuring
To experience new things in life.


Music,
When I am sleeping
To put away bitterness in life.

A Pill to Treat Covid-19? The U.S. Is Betting on It. – The New York Times

The U.S. government spent more than $18 billion last year funding drugmakers to make a Covid vaccine, an effort that led to at least five highly effective shots in record time. Now it’s pouring more than $3 billion on a neglected area of research: developing pills to fight the virus early in the course of infection, potentially saving many lives in the years to come. The new program, announced on Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Services, will speed up the clinical trials of a few promising drug candidates. If all goes well, some of those first pills could be ready by the end of the year. The Antiviral Program for Pandemics will also support research on entirely new drugs — not just for the coronavirus, but for viruses that could cause future pandemics.

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom with the Call of Freedom, Institutions, and Community Emotional Health

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Who can say what a community loses when members feel obliged to hide, or to leave the community due to persecution from the larger majority?  Both the Black community and the Jewish community here in the United States have felt these pressures, and both communities have worked together to aid one another, years ago.

So, how do we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us?

I believe that attention to shared histories of institution building in DC helped, may provide part of an answer.  I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

be more American.”   Most members of the Negro…
