Kamangir (Archer)
An Iranian looking at Iran as a foreigner…
Did you know that Kamangir turns four tomorrow? See the classic "Hello World" dated October 17, 2008!
Happy Persian New Year (Norouz)!
Kamangir | March 19, 2007 | Category Iran
Norouz (means the new day, or the day to renew), the beginning of the Persian year, is due in two days. I started doing a New Year card and ended up with this (click to enlarge),
The handwritten text reads “Happy New Year 1386, Arash Kamangir”. The text at the middle is a part of the famous Arash Kamangir poem by Siavash Kasraei.
To be alive, a flame is needed…
That flame needs to be nourished…
If you take care of it, it would be visible afar,
Otherwise, darkness is our fault.
Happy Persian New Year to all those who celebrate it!
I took the picture in last year’s jump-over-fire celebration (Chahar Shanbeh Suri).

Very happy new year to you Arash jan

Happy Norouz to all here!
And, of course, It is your not so good handwriting! :)
دوست عزیز سلام
بهتر است نوروز را وقتی به لاتین مینویسیم این گونه بنویسم
NOWROOZ or NOWRUZ
زیرا تاکید Ù…ÛŒ کنیم Ú©Ù‡ واژه نو از زبان Ùارسی وارد زبان انگلیسی شده Ùˆ به صورت نیو تلÙظ Ù…ÛŒ شود Ùˆ معنی روز نو هم بهتر منتقل Ù…ÛŒ گردد.
Translation: It is better to use either “Nowrooz” or “Nowruz”…
Mashdihassan,
Happy Nowrooz to you too and thanks for your nice comment. Hope to see you soon. Take care. :)
Renée,
