Witness To Our Lives!

"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet ... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'." - From Shall We Dance movie.



10 years yesterday, we tied knots and started a new life together. Just over a year after gettting married we immigrated to Canada, our second home. We've been through many challenges including "starting from scratch again" together, we made new friends, we supported each other through good and bad times. There were times when we took care of each other in turns - just like this week when Anoush got sick first and I made chicken soup and tea+honey for him and then I got sick and he got me orange juice and chelo-kabob ... not to say that he's been my "personal doctor" for the past 10 years knowing exactly what I need when I'm sick ... And through all this time we stood by each other no matter what, that's what makes it a beautiful jurney!



They say that to get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with and one of the nicest things you can say to your partner is "If I had it to do over again, I'd choose you again." That's how I feel now after 10 years being married to a very special man who is smart, kind and honest. And I'm thankful for this unique gift from God for many years to come.

Azhi's Birthday March 2011-FINAL.wmv


Last night we got together to celebrate Azhi's birthday. It was a night filled with joy, lots of laugh and of course good food. Fiftheen years ago when I first met Azhi at Vije we clicked right away, then we started to grow a great friendship which has been strenghten over the past few years. We shared good memories, visited a few cities together, started thinking about immigration together and wen through tought times too. Azhi landed in Canada three months before us, so again we started this jurney during same time period trying to find our ways in a new country where we had to start from scratch. We faced many chalenges, learned many lessons and experinced many things some times in a hard way. But here we are after 15 years sharing great moments in our second home, celebrating Azhi's birthday as well as Nowruz 1390. Here it goes to a wonderful year when we hope for the best and start a new day and a new life. May God bless all of us and help us in our jurney for years to come. Amin.

Ebi in Royal albert hall - ghorbat - BBC persian

I grew up with his voice, loved watching him on TV, singing with him and some time crying. He is part of my past, present and future. Ebi is the King and he always brings up memories of home. His voice is so unique that just makes me feel good, no matter what.

The Social Network - TV Spot


So I finally watched "The Social Network" in the plane flying back from Calgarye. Excellent moive, well-written scripts, outstanding performance by Jesse Eisenberg. In one word "an amazing movie" which leave you with many thoughts, asking questions that were in your mind but now found their way to surface. "we what it can be, we don't know what it would be, we know it's COOL".

Persian Wedding Washington D.C.


So beautiful, like a "dream weding", reminds me of May 5, 2001 when I said "yes" to the love of my life knowing that he'll be always there for me, holding my hands when I need him, telling me that "every thing is gonna be OK". Thank you God for crossing my path with him!

Googoosh - Gharibeh Ashena , Live in Concert Stockholm 2010 Dec. 24 غریب...

I came back from my trip, had a great time, spent quality time with my parents and enjoy every single moment. Things have been changed a lot but still I could find memories of my child-hood in the yard. And now listening to Googoosh takes me back to many years ago when I was a little girl and had no worries except little things that seem so stupid now.
