Winds

You work overseas and try to find out how to transfer money to your country. You wonder how to do this as your country is embargoed by many European banks. You search google to find a way and this is the result page...my fingers resisted typing again as if they sensed the bitterness of the answer.

It is a very windy night in Tripoli, there has been a big storm since evening...the sound of the wind that sneaks through the window hinge is more mysterious than the noise of the storm outside. From where these strong winds are coming...have they passed through Iran? Are they so frustrated and restless by the things they saw? Are they also showing that good days of that land are blowing away? Why they rush so much to go to the south? Are they escaping the sea in search for a  dream of a better place? Do they know that they are moving to an endless desert? or maybe they are already aiming for the lush of the equator. Stronger winds are coming from the east, will they stop smelling like blood?

Bonjour Mr. Behi,

If you wish to transfer money and don't know how, the best way to find out is to inquire at some of your local bank offices.

As to Google, let me remind you what the first generation of computer wizzards always said: "garbage in garbage out = you can only find sound info if someone else put it in.

Cheers to you, Behi, hope you did find a way. There must be one.

Salaam Mr. Behi,

Speaking of winds, it really has been an interesting couple of days. I am from Irvine, CA and we have fires all around us due to high winds.

Wanted to just drop a line; with you having Persian Roots, Im sure you must have heard of movie Sholay. I have just added a very famous Sholay song on my site and invite you and Mrs. Behi to watch:

If you have any requests for Indian movies or Songs, please don't hesitate.

Relax, take a break at Interval.in
Enjoy!

i am neither in Lybia nor in California, Mr. Behi, but -- regrettably -- i too am smelling those eastern winds...

Once again Salaam to Mr. + Mrs. Behi and their ... followers.

I recently posted a shameless plug on this blog promoting just the song of Sholay. Once again, I am back however not for a song, but for an amazing movie.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I invite you to the show.....Sholay that is:

I could rant endlessly about how our current status as "terrorists" is the immediate and unavoidable consequence of our own (in)actions (like the eagle who saw his own feather in the arrow that brought him down), or keep babbling about how the imperialist blood-sucking Zionist bastards are out there to unite us with eternal oblivion for their own egotistic and economical and political hegemony. Better yet, I can try to come up with an amalgam of a "balanced" and "wise" explanation how both of these extremes are in action to render us as citizens of earth who are best qualified to be disqualified!

Here's what I decided to do instead, for no particular reason really. I closed my eyes and drifted into the darkness of the night, where nothing is everything, and there's no one to direct you towards the "right" way to be. We are made of and constantly struggle between good and bad, justice and injustice, love and hate etc. ad nauseam. What we don't realize most of the time, however, is that none of these senses of perceiving the reality actually exists outside our own head. So the terrorist and their righteous hunters are out there and I drift into the night...

Peace to you my best friend.
