Nowrouz


Nowruz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian year and is a secular holiday. It is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox, which usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day depending on where it is observed. ~ from wikipedia

Nowrouz has come and I have started a weblog in English! I wish all human beings, specially Iranians a very good year.
