There is Something a Man Should know

Someone hit a girl with his car. For some reason he witnessed the accident. He helped the driver to take the girl to the hospital. The doctor checked her and said she was alright. They walked down the hall to take the elevator and leave the hospital. The elevator door opened. There were two old women and one man in the cabin. Three of them went in and the door closed. The girl broke the silence. She hugged the driver. “We are going to marry” she said. Everyone looked back. The old man looked at the driver and said “Go get a tattoo”. One of the old women said “There is something a man should know”. The old man fixed his purple tie and said “There is something a man should know”.

My name is "Advantage"

It was sometime around 1AM. He was deeply asleep. The cell phone rang suddenly and woke him up . He was so sleepy that he couldn't remember where he was for a few seconds. “Who’s this?” he answered. A man’s voice said “This is advantage.” “Who?“he asked. “Advantage” the voice answered louder. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Advantage? What the fuck? It’s early in the morning and someone calls with a strange name with an unusual Indian accent with a strange name?” he said to himself. He got scared a little. He repeated “Who?” pretending he didn’t hear the name and hoping to hear a usual one this time. The voice stop for a couple of seconds like it knew what was going on. It answered”mmm… This is Oliver”

“OK. How can I help you?” he answered with more confidence now.

“I’m calling about the plan?” the voice said.

“What plan?”

“The plan” the voice answered louder.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

He hung up and looked back at the window. There was a red light flashing probably from across the street. It looked like one of those Neon lights of convenience stores but there wasn’t any store around his place. The closes one was one block down the street. As the red light was becoming stronger sleep overcame his thoughts.

Norooz and Death

Lots of death of my dearest ones have happened around Nowrooz. It’s like the angel (!) of death has this long list due by the end of the year! This is so fucked up. I really hate to say I am scared of Norooz now. Call me superstitious. My grandma, my uncle, my cousin and now one of my best friends father all died in the end of the year or during Nowrooz.

God bless him.

I always think people who die of sudden causes like heart strokes or accidents are very lucky. They don't suffer much pain like a person with cancer or any mortal disease that eats you up gradually. I hope I become one of these people but I don't want to die in Norooz.

Flow of Life

There are not a lot of decisions we can make to change the flow of our lives. There are some pre-existing factors that define this flow. While we are riding on it, there are few chances of really changing direction. Otherwise, life goes; faster and faster.

How many success or failures stories do you hear about people that turned their lives around? Not a lot. Maybe there is something behind the scene. I don't know. I'm not saying there is a written destiny for each of us, but there are not a lot of things under our controls either.

People give up when they come to know their stories. That's when they say this is who I am and it is my life. This is as far as I can go.

When the clock goes off at 6AM everyday, I open my eyes and ask myself what I am doing. Is it really what I wanted to be? Am I happy or sad? and I can't find the answer.

Epitaphs

Searching clues for the future without grasping the past
wasting the present, though it's running by fast;
but the rivers flow
to join the seas forever

How Many "Men" Are Being Killed In Gaza?!

Yes, a lot of people are being killed in Gaza. Why everyone is worried about the number of women being killed rather that men? Aren't men countable? Many Palestinian men are sacrificing themselves- much more than women- to protect their family and no one counts them in the statistics?!! or we don't count them because we think men are not as important as women? and so many other questions that come to my mind!
I know this is not the right time to bring up this subject but think about it after the cease-fire!

Reza says: They don't count Palestinian men because they think they are all terrorists!
Azadeh says: Killing of women is more important than men because they have the reproduction ability so this statistics represents the level of genocide.
Nili says: I cannot see any real men in this world!!!
