This blog is about fairness; about looking at objects from multiple perspectives. Stable transformation comes only slowly; and only if the environment is free of sporadic jitters of passion and anger that destabilize growth. I strongly believe that the path to peace crosses through the battle with self.
Miam! ... but also Hmmm! (I don't quite know why yet. It'll come to me eventually.) I know someone who is having to change his diet to a low-fat one & he just flipped his lid! It was as if he had been robbed of the very foundation of his existence. Fortunately, he's coming to terms with the situation. Still, I'm sure he would agree with your headline. I'm sending him this video for sure.
Hi Naj! Hope you are ok as much as that can be. You (and Pedestrian) are always in my thoughts even though I don't comment much on your blogs, which I often visit nonetheless.
Naj, my grandpa always tells the story of their gardener during the days of Mossadegh when there was word of Mossadegh breaking out with Baghaie.
The gardener famously said: I don't understand what these men are fighting about, why don't they just sit around a sofreh and eat ghormeh sabzi and zereshk polo and solve their differences?
When I see beauty like that, I can't help but think of the same question.
Ohhhh . . . groan! You're mean, putting this in front of us and making me use my imagination as to how the food tastes as these look! All that rice . . . sigh, my favorite food and I can't take a bite right off the screen.
Sadegh Saba (BBC journalist) has produced a movie about Iran, "A Taste of Iran". If you haven't seen it already .... you can watch it on youtube . Here is Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn13ovhnNC0
This is a must see for anybody who likes Iran and food ;)

A couple months back, I also embedded this program into a blog post. I find the Iranian-Australian accents amusing.
today in (subconscious) ethnocentrism:
