The Green Wave

Dear Michael, How is life in Munich. Have you been to the movies recently ? You said you wanted to see “No-one knows about persian cats”, the movie about the rock-band in Teheran. We got it here from a friend of Shava in DVD. Its not exactly my most favorite style of music (a bid to rough and fast), but… (more…)

The genealogy of mice (part 2)

Hi michael, While searching for a paper about UV-repair that Matts recommended me to read I found an article reporting an exciting new study about the migration of house-mice throughout europe during the last 10 000 years. I remember you once wrote me a story about the colonialization of europe by the two mouse species M.musculus musculus (eastern mouse) and… (more…)

Sentenced to death for adultery – the cruel face of iranian justice

Hi Ghazal, Thanks for writing about the case of Mrs. Sakine Ashtiani in Teheran and the threat of her beeing killed by stoning. I did not knew about her, but what you wrote is shocking.

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. And in my dreams there was no place any more for saints and gods, who use to judge man as heretics or as immoral. I dreamed, that mankind will live free from hate against… (more…)

Unicorn and the blue-eyed camel

10 min after midnight he could not wait any longer for the long over-due end-of-the-day message from her. He left the house, the family, the dog and the garden behind and drove to her, ignoring most of the red traffic-lights and speed limits. After a 15 min race from the very east to the very north of this town, a… (more…)

Otherwise, I will spend the day in the lab. Take Care, my dear, Michael …………………………………………………………………………………… Hi Michael, yesterday i went to the centrum to… (more…)

Books and Food

Dear Ghazal, It would be a blunt lie to say that I only write you now to check if my computer finally understands that there is a difference between an _ and an . in your mail address. I checked today which e-mails were sent to this wrong address over the last weeks, and these were probably about 10. If… (more…)

Persian Blogosphere

To: iraniansblog@gmail.com I would highly appreciate if you would add my blog to your directory. I called it “Letter to an Persian Cat” If you will see, it is totally un-political, it has to do with cats (mainly as an aphorism), and I am not iranian nor had I ever the chance to visit your country. Why do I want… (more…)
