Dearest Elham

Post by setareh »

I didn't know that you are good at both making people laugh by your writings and also make them cry. Oh dear what happened to our happy and energetic Elham. Cheer up! Be happy. I am sure with God's help and your own strength there is no problem that you can not handle it.
I wish you all the happiness and prosperity. I hope your next writing is full of joy and jokes. {-: thanks for your reply.
Sincerely,

You are a unique close book...

Post by Hurieh »

Dear Elham, hi

I’m truly delighted to read from you. Your post brought us happiness and joyfulness. Let me use a metaphor and clearly elaborate on my genuine feelings.

How do you feel if you see a tree has blossomed in the middle of a chilly winter? You will be amazed, am I right? I had the same feeling as soon as I saw your post, and I assume it was the same about other friends of ours too. So, please accept my sincere “welcome back” dear kind-hearted Elham.

Meanwhile, upon I saw your nice blog with its typical green font color, I tried to remember your last post and count the number of days you have been away from us. Then, these thoughts came into my mind.

Time is something uncountable. But human beings try to make it a countable parameter by attributing some names to it like “hour”, “day”, “week”, “month”, and et cetera. We can measure the time by using these customized measures, but we can’t determine what each word means to everybody.

I read the section below from the book , A patchwork of life, by : Debi Vietri


:ok: To realize the value of one YEAR ask a student who has failed a grade.

:ok: To realize the value of a one MONTH ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

:ok: To realize the value of one WEEK ask the editor of a newspaper.

:ok: To realize the value of one HOUR ask the couple waiting to be reunited after a lengthy absence.

:ok: To realize the value of one MINUTE ask the person who missed the train.

:ok: To realize the value of one SECOND ask the person who just avoided an accident.

Treasure each moment you have. Share it with someone special and make the most of the time together. Remember the time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.



This was just a tangent to say that words are not capable of transferring our true feelings. I can’t convey my genuine feelings about missing you by pointing to some numbers and words.

Dear Elham, everyone is like a close book that has a unique universe in it. You are also a unique book that is worth reading and being with. Please let us go through your pages and have a journey throughout your world every once in a while. And always remember that we will miss you and your kind heart.


Love and warm wishes,
Hurieh

An Old Letter!

Post by behnam »

This is just to let you know that I've missed you terribly. I often meet some of you in the main chat room and chat with you, but many of you have been absent from the chat room for a long time. You are always in my thoughts. It is not possible to write every friend's name, since it will be boring for the readers. However, when I am saying I've missed you' I do mean it. I dislike saying something while I don't mean!

As I said, some of you come to the chat room, and I see your messages and your chats with others. Your presence makes me happy. But, it is really sad not to hear or read anything from you.

I agree with you that the pace of life is very fast these days. I am also busy with a lot of tasks. However, I don't like to be carried like a dead fish by the flow of water! I prefer to swim even against the flow of water! That's why I value friends and friendship, and write to my friends.

I used to send emails to my friends. Unfortunately, my yahoo messenger doesn't work! I tried to fix it, but I couldn't. It is perhaps because of the slow connection. I don't know.

If you need someone to listen to you, to share your sadness, I am always available. Count on me when you need someone to talk with, or to share your sadness. I am as strong as mountains. I am not boasting.

If life is difficult, if your colleagues don't understand you, if you feel sad or disappointed, don't worry, those feelings are common among people in this century. We must try to help each other, to spend some time with each other, to care about each other, otherwise sadness and difficulties will attack us!

Let's be kind and spread kindness unconditionally. The entire universe works based on love, justice, kindness and affection. Let's love humanity! let's focus on similarities. We are all human beings, with the same root. We are the same, we have got the same feelings and the same desires. We all cry when we are grieved. We all smile and laugh when we are happy. We eat, drink, and sleep, although we eat different things and sleep at different time! That's geography obligation. The skin colour, the lifestyle, the place we are living in , all unwanted differences mustn't make us separated. We are the same!

I love you wherever you are, AND I feel proud of this love!

All the best,

Another Old Letter! WOW!

Post by behnam »

How are you? I hope you are fine. I know, in many parts of the world, the weather is hot. It bothers people. In Iran right now, it is 7:00am, but it is hot. I feel as if there is no sufficient Oxygen in the air to breathe. Well, we are human beings. In summers it is hot, in winters it is cold. We've got always something to nag about. :):):)

As you know, Ostriches have two wings and a lot of feathers. Therefore, they are birds. On the other hand, they have many similarities with camel. They have long neck and legs. However, they are neither bird nor camel! In Persian language Ostrich is said 'Camel-hen'(shotormorgh). They aren't bird, because they cannot fly like birds. If you ask an ostrich to fly it will say, "I'm not a bird. I cannot fly!" If you ask it to carry some load like what camels do, it will say, 'I am not a camel. I cannot carry load!" The question is this: What are you?

In some countries, women work much more than men. They work both at their workplaces and at homes. In developed countries for instance, women are much more effective than men. They shoulder the responsibilities of life. If you'd like to know how effective women are, google 'single parent children' to see how many ladies are looking after their children and working(the are actually playing two roles at the same time. They are father and mother of their children!)

In some nations, ladies are like Ostrich. They love modern life. They have high expectations. They follow modern lifestyles. In terms of wearing makeup or other cultural issues for example, they follow women in modern countries, but when it comes to working and shouldering the responsibilities of life, they follow Islamic rules! Do you know what Islam says about the right of women? "..you men must pay for your wife if she cooks, feeds the child, works at home.."

Briefly speaking, in some places women, on the one hand, have chosen the easy rules and cultures of advanced countries. On the other hand, they have chosen the beneficial parts of the Islamic rules which speak about their rights. In these countries, they are ruling the men. Men are slaves! :):):):):)

Behnam, stop it! A word is enough for wise people to know what you are saying!

All the best,

Crying! Another Old Letter!

Post by behnam »

For my Azerbaijani Friends,

صبا من‌نن سوئيله او نازلي يارا
بلبل گلستانه گلسين گلمسين؟
بو هجران دوشدگي ايلر خسته سي
قاپيه درمانه گلسين گلمسين؟

من قرباني اوليم عنبر تللرين،
پسته دوداغلارين اينجه ديلرين
او لاله اوزين مشكين خالارين
اودوا پروانه گلسين گلمسين؟

گوزيم چوخ حسرتدي خمار گوزينه
گلشن جمالينه شكر سوزينه
اوتانيرام نجه دئيم اوزينه
دردين چكن خسته جانه گلسين گلمسين؟

بهنام استمز سنسيز دنياني
عزتي شوكتي شهرتي شأني

دا بير زاده قالميبدي اميدي
بو باش او سودايه گلسين گلمسين؟
***************************

Something For my Persian Friends,

در هر انديشه‌اي، حتي اگر باطل باشد، سايه‌اي از حقيقت وجود دارد
در كتاب "استعداد تحصيلي" ويژه آزمون دكترا يك سوال جالب ديدم: يك ساعت عقربه‌اي، كه باطري آن كاملاً خالي شده است، در هر 24 ساعت چند بار زمان را درست نشان مي‌دهد؟

حتي يك ساعت خراب نيز در هر 24 ساعت 2 بار زمان را درست نشان مي‌دهد

Something In English,

The vast majority of my friends know English very well. Undoubtedly, when someone surfs the net, browses the websites, uses the Internet and has got account in public places such as EC knows English effectively.

As you may know, one of the most essential qualities for a good manager is transparency. In my view, not only in successful management, but also in other aspects of the real life, being transparent to others is good. We all have some redlines in our life. It is normal. But, the redlines should be as sharp and narrow as possible. Sharpness makes them easily recognizable and narrowness makes people comfortable and gives them more freedom. In other words, when you have sharp and narrow redlines, it is easy for people to interact with you.

I wrote this quite long preface to say that men are more transparent than women.Throughout the history, men have revealed their feelings and, particularly, their expectations from the opposite sex! For example, in the written Azerbaijani poems above, the man is addressing his most loved things that he expects from his love. Men often say, "women are not understandable". Some others say, 'Women are created to be loved, not to be understood"! One of the reasons for these cruel remarks is that women rarely reveal their true characters. Actually, the majority of poets and authors in the world are men. Therefore, men have more opportunities than women to introduce themselves. On the contrary, women have a tendency to hide themselves! Why? Is it their own choice or we men have forced them to be silent? I don't know, but I believe there is something which is worth noticing! The great moderator of the chat room usually likes topics for discussion. I believe, this paragraph can be a mine of topic for debate and discussion. LOL

Feel free, do not hesitate to challenge the mentioned opinion. I will reply your messages after being back.

I am leaving Tehran today, but it doesn't mean I will forget you and the sweet moments I've spent with you. You will be with me; in my thoughts and heart wherever I go! I will miss you.

All the best,

OMG! Old things!

Post by behnam »

Hi friends,

How are you? I hope you are fine.

Just to inform you, so sorry to tell you that I am not feeling well today! I am worried about my little kids and my young wife! Why?

Last week, I visited my doctor and he wanted me to have a checkup. He suggested that I visit a heart specialist too. Today, I went to a special clinic to have my heart tested. Heart Function Test in rest and Echocardiography were both OK, but, according to the doctor, Heart Function Test in sport( Walking on a treadmill while some wires were connected to my chest and a device which showed the graphs..) was not OK! I didn't feel any pain on my chest while doing the exercise on the treadmill. The doctor said, "Although you didn't feel pain, your vessels are narrow. Your heart doesn't work properly. There are some noticeable noises in the graphs. You have to have Angiography as soon as possible."

I am shocked and disappointed! Sorry to share such bad things with you. I am ready to die, since I am tired of this boring world, but to be honest, I am really worried about my family! They will face with many problems! :-( :-( :-(

On Tuesday night I will stay in Hospital and on Wednesday the doctor is going to visualize the inside of blood vessels in my heart. I haven't made final decision yet, because I am shocked and I am also negotiating with some friends who are involved in medical science. I want you to pray for me at these special nights. I want you to pray for my family at these sacred holy moments in Ramadan. I want you to forgive me! I want you not to forget me!

Cry my eyes it's leaving time, even rocks and stones cry when leaving friends! I will miss you all the time! :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

All the best,

God and Friends, Thanks! An old letter!

Post by behnam »

Hi my great valuable friends,

How are you? I hope you are doing well.

After having open-heart operation; by pass surgery from 5 places of a blocked vessel in my heart, I am at home now. The first thing I am doing is checking the messages and emails. I don't know what to say and how to mention to the things are in my thoughts now. I think 'thank you' is not a proper phrase to say, but what should I say? I really don't know!

It is not an illusion to say that I personally felt and saw God's special attention and support. I REALLY FELT IT! God, THANK YOU!

I felt the closeness of your hearts with myself. THANK YOU for praying and caring. You are like some valuable treasures.

Many stories I've got to tell you. This was a great experience. God put me in such an amazing situation to experience some wonderful things.

Every thing was and is wonderful. You don't need to worry, since in a miracle way God wants to keep me alive for a while! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I will talk to you later. I will stay at home for more than two months to get fully recovered, so I will have a lot of time to be with you. :lol:

Thank you again.
Bye for now.

All the best,
Behnam, 9 August, 2013

Hi Elham,

Thank you very much for your sweet words. That's very kind, and of course, very generous of you. Don't you know my heart is weak? The sweetness of your words may create a lot of heat in my heart then it melts. I am sure, as a Chemical Engineer you know sweetness can be converted into heat! {-: {-: {-:

Frame of Reference!

Post by behnam »

Hi dear friends,

How are you doing? I hope you are doing great. Some people are judgmental. To be honest with you, I was used to judging people and criticizing them too quickly. However, I have decided to break this bad habit. I knew it was something unreasonable, but I couldn't stop judging people's actions, reactions in different societies.

Recently, I think every individual has got a frame of reference. What they observe is just valid in their own frame of reference. In other words, mankind is obliged to us a frame of reference for observation the world around herself/himself. Then, s/he collects information about something through observation in her/his frame of reference. As a matter of fact, things are observed differently in different references. Therefore, what one sees may differ from what someone else sees! That is why almost all things are relative.



If we don't know and don't believe that our different views, ideas, opinions, observations, and judgements, are just because of having different coordinates which are based on our particular set of beliefs, ideas or experiences that affects how we understand or judges something, we are in danger of choosing our own frame of reference and attack any ideas that do not fit it! This is what we often do in everyday life.

One has got limited field of view. What S/he sees is located inside her/his field of regard. Suppose one is climbing a mounting. S/he approaches the mountain from some limited angle. What s/he observes are limited to her/his field of view. S/he is not aware of other sides/angles of the mountain! Seeing something in the mountain is one of the observation we do. This rule can be applied to all aspects of life; what human beings see, feel, measure, detect, etc.

I believe, we never understand each other. Why? Because we are attached to our frame of reference. What we see, feel, measure, etc. is only valid for ourselves. What I mean by 'white' is different from what someone else means when s/he says such-and-such thing is "white"!

Suppose, God forbid, two mothers have lost their babies. Lady A says: I am very sad. Lady B shows sympathy and says: I understand what you mean by being sad, I have lost my baby too. I know how difficult it is. This is wrong! Why? The amount of sadness and its intensity is different in different frame of references(for two mothers).

I say: I am hungry. For you, being hungry has got a special definition. According to your own experiences in your frame of reference, you have got your definition for that. You don't know how much hungry I am, and how much tolerance against hunger I have got.

Human beings cannot understand each other. What we mean by saying "I understand you" is something vague. We have to change our frame of references, to approach things from different angles, to experience the same thing in different coordinates to have an almost good observation about that. However, changing the references may help us in measuring something as accurately as the references allows us, but we shouldn't forget that the uncertainty is still there. We cannot escape from the uncertainties.

...can be continued!

Thank you for reading.

It is time to have respect for someone if s/he says that is "6", although in our frame of reference we may see it is "9"!

All the best,

Preparation!

Post by behnam »

Hi friends,

In a group of people from different nations, the question "is crying a sign of weakness?" was a topic for discussion. People had some interesting opinions about it. I also gave my opinion.

The question is tricky somehow. According to statistics, women typically cry 5 times more than men. The question is indirectly related to a common belief that women are weaker than men, that is why they cry more than them! However, I completely disagree with that. I believe, crying is a gift. It is a natural response of human to some feelings such as sadness and happiness. It is not a sign of weakness.

Now, the question is this: Why do women cry more than men? This is maybe true, but there are several reasons for that. I believe, we men have lost something very important and valuable in our childhood. It is the ability to cry! How? Our parents have taught us not to cry. They have said; "Big boys don't cry!". They have stopped us from crying. Instead, they have encouraged us to show anger, and to be aggressive. For a boy that is OK to become angry, but for a girl it is not OK! More or less, such things have been taught to us in our childhood. If a girl is aggressive she is not a good girl, but if she cries or becomes depressed that's OK! Men should be 'act out', women should be 'act in'! Wrong!

For many years those pieces of advice have been given to us by our parents. Those things have caused men to hide some of their feelings. Men believe if they cry they lose their credibility as a strong man. They lose their value and importance. They lose the respect they receive from others, specially from family members.

I think men are emotionally more fragile than women. But, why don't they cry? They cry in a hidden way. If Men cannot cry, they have lost an important ability.

I believe, it is only a matter of preparation! We have got an ideal definition for men and for women. We put them in a frame and form them to be like what we define! We prepare them to act in accordance with what we expect! We expect them to be like what we teach to them, so what we see is the fruits of our own planted tree. We are reaping what we have sowed.

It is like preparing some ingredients for cooking food. We may use meat, rice, beans, etc. When eating, we will see the same used ingredients, not something else. Men don't cry, because they have been shaped like that!

Our cultures are mostly built on the belief that powerful men mustn't cry! We men have lost something important in our childhood, and we are always looking for that. However, nothing can compensate what we have lost. Even the greatest wife cannot make it up for a man. We haven't been touched, hugged, kissed, loved, etc. as much as our sisters have been. Girls receive much more love from their parents, relatives, and friends, than boys do!

What we reap now is the direct result of what we have sowed. Most of the differences between men and women, when it comes to acting and reacting, are just matters of preparation. Human beings are the same with almost the same feelings, needs, and emotions.

All the best,

Making friends and forgetting the friednship!

Post by behnam »

Hi friends,

How are you? I hope you are doing well. The main goal of this message is to let you know that I've missed you. I hope the message is transferred well enough to let you know how much I've missed you. It won't, because only some words are transferred by this message. You don't hear my tone of voice and don't see my body languages which are respectively 37% and 55% responsible for transferring messages. Words only transfer 8% of the message. You can google "Albert Mehrabian" to see his famous article in this regard.

These days, making friends is like downloading files from the Internet, without having time to watch or listen to them! Suppose we are browsing the webs, we come across with some files. We become surprised and download them eagerly. However, we won't have time to use those things. This is a fact. We meet people and get interested in them. We establish friendships but we haven't got enough time to share with them. We won't care about the friendships. This is mysterious. The lack of time is just an excuse. Why? Why do we lack time? We have got many things to do? why? The majority of those things are defined to us, are put on our schedules without our intention! This is the main point! :)

Something terrible has occurred! We are always running, as if hurrying after something we have lost, without knowing what it is! We are not allowed to stop, see and think where we are and where we are going!

In my opinion, we are chasing a mirage. What has caused or created that? I am not sure, but I guess capitalism(by means of technology) has an active and effective role in this phenomenon!

The story is long. I am sure you know what I am saying. :)

All the best,

The 3000th post!

Post by behnam »

Hi dears,

How are you? I hope you are doing well. I am fine, if you care about me. {-:

This is the 3000th post in this thread. I have traced quite a long path from December 2007 up to now. I put my first post on WWW.English-at-home.com in December 2007. Good old days! I don't know what will happen in the future. Could I be able to continue this path? Where does the path lead to? I don't know, but I've got a sense of belonging to this thread entitled beautifully 'let's learn together!'. I guess this path will be traced as long as the process of learning exists in the world of humanity. Although new generations show little interest in such activities, let's just hope some change will occur in the world in a way that people will care about togetherness! I hope so!

All the best,

Dear Friends

Thank God that let me , my family ,my friends be alive and living in 1394, and let us start our new year of 1395 in health.
Happy new year to all of you , I have my life like very year , amuse of beautiful plant and flower at home and going to parties everyday . all together I had a successful year in 94, but it had a lot of rooms to use it in better way , My motto is to use maximum from the minimum opportunities.

the pictures of some plants I have at home.

One of funny moments was the last Friday , I made an appointment with a person from Malaysia in one of Tehran Hotel , I went with my boss to meet him there ,at 7 took plane seat and was in the hotel at 10 in the morning , but he wasn’t there ,he didn’t answer his mobile phone and in the hotel book list there was not his name , what had happened for him . I open my lab top and check his emails , I saw what a big mistake I had made , the date of meeting was 18 of Apr. and I was in the hotel on 18 of March. Oh my God how could I say to my boss about such a big carelessness .
In such a rush hours of years , I took my boss to Tehran on a wrong date . My boss told me Mohsen why you are laughing , we are waiting for him for one hours ,you should angry , I told “ his wife didn’t let him to come , he had to clean his house to help his wife “ and again was laughing. I didn’t dare to say him the fact.
Finally we left the hotel and went to air port to come back.

On the First day of 95 I wrote a message to my boss

Dear Mr… ,
Wishing you and your family a prosperous and successful new year and …..
Dear Mr… I am sorry to say that I made a big mistake in date of meeting . I checked the emails and I saw the date of meeting was 18 Apr, I screwed up your busy schedule in the last days of 94 .
Dear Mr. .. It was my mistake , so that all this travel charges are on my account , although I can’t make up your valuable time which was spared.
Yours sincerely
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
I know when I undertake all charges , it makes my boss more happy , my boss is originally from Khozastan , and it was proved for him that how much Esfahani people are generous .
I still laughing when remember the memory

7 Principles Of An Eagle!

Post by behnam »

If I were an animal, I'd like to be an eagle; but why? Read the following principles to know why I'd like to be an eagle. {-: :lol: {-:

PRINCIPLE 1

Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can got to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens.

Eagles fly with Eagles.

PRINCIPLE 2

Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and set out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.

Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed.

PRINCIPLE 3

Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not.

Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with, especially in movies and on TV. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well.

PRINCIPLE 4

Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm’s wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees.

We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably.

PRINCIPLE 5

The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her.
Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle.

The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.


Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership
.

...... to be continued

All the best,

7 Principles Of An Eagle(part two)!

Post by behnam »

................. continue


PRINCIPLE 6

When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff, then flies to earth again to collect twigs which he lays in the intended nest. He flies back to earth and picks thorns laying them on top of the twigs. He flies back to earth and picks soft grass to cover the thorns. When this first layering is complete the male eagle runs back to earth and picks more thorns, lays them on the nest; runs back to get grass it on top of the thorns, then plucks his feathers to complete the nest. The thorns on the outside of the nest protect it from possible intruders. Both male and female eagles participate in raising the eagle family. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump into the nest again.

Next, she throws them out and then takes off the soft layers of the nest, leaving the thorns bare When the scared eaglets again jump into the nest, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings. They get excited at this newfound knowledge that they can fly.

The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes; The preparation for the family teaches us that active participation of both partners leads to success; The being pricked by the thorns tells us that sometimes being too comfortable where we are may result into our not experiencing life, not progressing and not learning at all. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and live on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns.


The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us.


PRINCIPLE 7

When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out.


We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our lives.

Hi friends,

Long time no see! How are you? I hope you are doing great. Sorry if I am disturbing or bothering. We had an online competition. It was about presenting an imaginary online organization which is involved in educational and cultural activities. I prepared the slides. Team working has some score. I let another member of my team present. Anyway, we won. You can visit the following link and click on 'watch here' to see the slides and to hear my voice as well. When it was necessary I have added something through presenting. I want you to be kind enough to visit the following site and VOTE! Thank you very much in advance.

Please do not hesitate to judge about my awful accent and terrible English! LOL

Welcome Kenedy!

Post by behnam »

Hi Kenedy,

Welcome to this garden in its winter time. The trees have lost their leaves, snow is covering the ground, and the nightingale doesn't sing anymore! You should wait for the spring; the time when roses blossom, and birds chirp!

Thank you for putting comment on this thread. As an old gardener, I am always here to welcome you and to host you in case you need someone to offer you some food, drinks, and a shelter to take some rest for a while.

All the best,

In winter, it is freezing. This thread has got winter time too. I am describing the situation of this place(this garden). {-:

Why is it winter here?

Post by behnam »

Hi Bloodred,

You are giving me energy to write something. Thank you very much indeed. I am also fine, doing well. Thank you for caring.

It is winter here, because the trees don't have leaves, buds, or flowers. The beautiful birds are not flying and chirping inside this garden anymore. Instead of nightingale or partridge, owl and crow are crying over the trees. These things mostly happen in winter time. By the way, when the owner of a garden dies, the garden becomes destroyed. Again, crows and owls make nest on the trees. These are the sign of destruction. In brief, nightingales, partridges, sparrows, and all beautiful birds have gone from the garden. The trees don't give flowers and fruits. Nobody walks in the garden. These all mean it is winter here! LOOOL! {-:

Where are you from and what do you do?

Hello Behnam!

I'm coming from Russia and this is probably why I don't agree with your comparison of winter and destruction/devastation/etc. {-: Because the the winter is the most beautiful season, full of energy and activities, I would even say it provides us an absolutely different sense of life. And what can be more delightful than a winter garden? It's just pure magic! {-;

Hi Bloodred,

Nice answer! Thank you very much. Everything has got some beauty. Winter isn't an exception. It has got some beauty, and I am not denying that. However, for farmers and gardeners, winter means coldness, freeze, death, and hopelessness. This is a common feeling.

The beauty of something depends, to a great extent, on the angle you look at it trough that angle. If you enjoy skiing, winter is your favourite season. However, if one hasn't access to running water at homes; using the river for washing their clothes; as it was in the past. If someone is a truck driver and has to drive in mountainous roads,etc. winter will be bothering. The definition of things are different for different people. {-:

Winter, literally and metaphorically, is a sign of death, although it has got its special beauties.

All the best,

Hi Behnam!

Thanks for your answer! I found it quite interesting and convincing.

However, I still disagree that winter is a sign of death. Because death is the end of everything, but could we say the same about winter - by no means! Because after winter there comes spring and then summer and so on! :) So, I would rather compare winter with a deep slumber or maybe kind of period of depression, but definitely not death! {-:

Hi Bloodred,

That's true, but something is forgotten yet; death is not the end of everything! In my opinion, death is disappearing from a world and entering another world. In materialist philosophies, this cannot be understood or justified. I don't blame you or anyone else.

Winter is a real death for some trees and plants. They stop working and growing in winters. Anyway, that's a description of the thread. It can be wrong!

Hi Behnam
The last time I visited the site , I saw your picture , it was beautiful with a white hat on your head. why you change it?
I look at the garden time to time, it is winter as you said , but I think people are all in real gardens and have not time to be in virtual one
This season is wonderful with fruits, I bought 20 kgs plum to make it dry ( prune) for winter , and 10 kgs sour cherry to make jam.
I wish I had several guts for eating such a witty fruits ,apple with rose perfume taste , I take a bag of apple to my office everyday
My wife added some block plum to the cooked hen , it tasted wonderful , todays my boss told me to add some apple with rose perfume to the cook hen.
I want to try it this week

Hi Behnam! Hi everybody else!

I have already found this forum. It's very interesting and I hope it will be usefull too. I'm Italian, from Rome. I'm finding people whit whom speak English to improve and practise my English. I studied at school many many years ago (I don't tell you my age!!!); I went to USA, San Diego California to visit a friend of mine many years ago; I studied English with some private English but I can't practise it. Then I forget everything. I'd like to do friendship with someone of you, why not, to practise English and have exchanges about any discussions. For example Benham: I was born on January and I like the winter season. But I prefer the summer. Because of the holidays and it's sunny and hot.

Elisa, I know "Desiderata". It's wonderfull! I have it on the wall of my bedroom.

I'm sorry, I had no time to read all the posts. I promise I'll do that.

Have a good time! I'll see you soon.

Alberto (Alberix)

I'd like if you help me to learn English better. Then if I make mistakes, please tell me!!!

Hi Mohsen!

I'm very happy if you want to improve your English with an exchange of conversations. But I don't know if I am the right partner, 'cause I have the same problem. My English is quite approximate. Anyway, why not? Let's try! As regards Desiderata, it's a very interesting document with a very deep meanings. Elisa, in this Forum posted it time ago. You can find it.

I'll see you soon!

Alberto
