The last 3 Wednesdays’ evenings of solar year is called “Od Günü Axşamı” or “Çərşəmbə Axşamı” in Turkish, and “Chaharshanbeh Souri” in Persian. Folkloric ceremonies of these days recently have been replaced by too dangerous fireworks (Or street cracking) in Tehran! That was not endurable for me! Indeed, I escaped from Tehran this week. Old traditions as jumping over the fire are already being saved in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan’s other name is “Odlar Yurdu” means “The Land of Fire”.
Happy new year, happy ‘Novrouz’ holidays, happy ‘Argana Gun Bayramı’.

The Bank Counter
It is 3 days to New Year and Iranian banks are too busier than markets. This counter is especially for women, but men have occupied it absolutely! Of course, there are not any women in the bank, and then the men are innocent.

The Long Sleeve T-Shirt!!
It is 3 days to upcoming spring and Solar Hijri New Year (1387). Tehran clothing markets are very busy. I saw these shirts yesterday. ‘T-shirt’ is an imported word from English, in Persian, but there has been written a label in Persian, meaning ‘Long sleeve T-shirts’!!
Oh! That is not funny completely! Because of exception in Wikipedia:
T-shirt is a shirt, with … mostly (but not necessarily) short sleeves….
