Salman Rushdie about Chernobyl

Dear michael, Finally, I gave the talk about my MSc thesis today here in the institute, and as you expected, people were much more interested to discuss the implications of the Fukushima accident (which of course also has to do with radio-iodine) than the genetic studies I did last year in Munich. I doubt if people could really estimate what… (more…)

Arthur Brown aka Haji Firuz is doing the Norooz fire dance

Dear Ghazal, On the occasion of the persian new-year, I”d like to send you some music.

The idea that a divine spirit is present in nature, and it shows up in phenomenons such as… (more…)

My mom, however, insisted to watch this movie so I also… (more…)

full moon and wild geese

hi michael, I don”t know what was wrong with your sophisticated calculation, but I could not spot any meteor this time ! I went over to Shafa, since her windows faces southward, and it is always fun to be with her and have a chat. So we were sitting in front of her big window, with tea and some sweets,… (more…)

Rose Blossom

Ghazal, my Dear, You may have not recognized, how happy you have been today. With every single detail of your thesis that you corrected and improved, with every minor spelling mistake or format problem that you could eliminate, your relaxed smile that was rarely visible during the last weeks returned step by step. It seemed as if a rose that… (more…)

But then I reconsidered and tried to understand what the article is mainly about:… (more…)

Champaign Dreams

I dreamed, that reason and truth might rule the world instead of religions and self-installed gods, and that the later are kept under glass in museums.
