Where are the sculptures?

Some years ago, Azerbaijani artists made statues of a number of Azerbaijani historical illustrious and heroes and dedicated them to Tehran municipality to put them in different areas of Tehran which is a residence place for millions of Azeri Turks. Sattarkhan, Baghirkhan (Constitution activists) and Shahriar's (Poet) bronze statues installed in Sattarkhan Park, Shahrara Park and Theatershahr.

I was eager to see them but there was not chance for visiting until last week I read in some websites that Shahriar's statue has been vanished! And one day later, another surprising news published: "Sattarkhan and Baghirkhans statues disappeared too"!
After missing them, further bronze statues were stolen; but there is a question for me:
"Why have vandal rubbers lifted Azerbaijani statues in first phase?"

Yesterday I succeeded to sea only empty place of my favorite famous persons' statues! I wish I took images from statues:

The Nest


Recently I cannot open the window, because a pigeon (or a kind of bird like pigeon, named Yakarim in Persian) has nestled at the margin of that, and she lies over her two eggs (another egg has been just added newly).
I am not eager to disturb my new neighbor!

The Land of Fire

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 Folkloric ceremonies of these days recently have been replaced by too dangerous fireworks (Or street cracking) in Tehran!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….

Scrupulous or Skimmer

Reading per capita average of Iranian society is very low. People don’t have enough time to study! But this old man is different! he is too scrupulous or just a skimmer:

The Queue


This is the shadow of best ordered Barbary (a kind of bread) queue that I see and have been one of its members!
The majority of Iranian people must stay in a queue everyday: the Bank queue, the bus or taxi station queue and …; but there is an exception: 'The promotion usually does not have good queue'!
