Well last week we were given a very very nice story by our simple prose's professor,D.R Ghahremani. the story was very nice as it has very diffrent view to the world we live in! It's about day and night! We never have such point of view about the first days of creation, movement, Gods and day and nights. We really enjoy of that. So we decided to share it with you and know your idea about that:)

Many stories ago, when the first Gods_ those who made the world_ were still circling through the night, there were these two other Gods_
IK’al and Votan.
The two were only one. When one was turning himself around, the other would show himself, and when the other one was turning himself around, the first one would show himself. They were opposites. One was light like a may morning at the river. The other was dark like night of cold and cave.
They were the same thing. They were one, these two, because one made the other. But they would not walk themselves, staying there always, these two Gods who were one without moving.
“what should we do then?”the two of them asked.
“life is sad enough as it is” they lamented, the two who were one in staying without moving.
“night never passes” said Ik’al.
“Day never passes” said votan
“Let’s walk” said the one who was two.

“how” asked the one. And they saw thet they had moved a little, first to ask how, then to ask where. The one who was two became very happy when the one saw that they were moving themselves a little. Both of them wanted to move at the same time, but they couldn’t do it themselves.
“how should we do it then?” and one would come round first and then the other and hey would move just a little bit more and they realized that they could move if one went first, then the other. So they came to an agreement that_ in order to move_ one had to move first, then the other. So they started walking and now no one remembers who started walking first because at the time they were so happy just to be moving…And “who cares who was first since we’re moving now?” said the Gods who were one and the same and they laughed at each other and the first agreement they made was to dance, and they danced, one little step by one, one little step by the other, and they danced for a long time because they were so happy that they had found each other. Then they got tired of so much dancing and they looked for something else to do.
And they saw that the first question was, “ how do we move? And the answer was ‘together but separately and in agreement’ “but that question wasn’t important anymore because they realized that they were already walking and so another question came up when they saw that there were two roads in front of them:
One road was very short and it just got over to there and they could see clearly that this road would end right away and their feet were full of joy from walking that they said right then that the first road was too short and they didn’t want to walk it and so they made an agreement to walk the long road.And they were going to start walking when their answer to choose the long road brought another question_ “ where does this road take us?” they took a long time to think about the answer and the two who were one got the right idea that only by walking the long road were they going to know where the road took them. If they remained there, they were, they were never going to know where the long road leads. the two who were one said to each other:
“so let’s walk it then” and they started walking, first the one and then the other. And only then and there did they realize that it was taking a long time to walk the long road, so another question came up: “ how are we going to walk for such a long time?” and they stayed thinking a good while and then. Ik’al said real clearly that he didn’t know how to walk by day and Votan said that he was afraid to walk at night and they stayed there, crying for a long time.
And when all the walking and hollering was over, they came to an agreement and they saw that it was fine for Ik’al to walk only at night and for Votan to walk only during the day and Ik’al would walk for Votan during the night and that is how they came up with the answer for walking all the time.

Since then the gods have walked with questions and they never stop. They never arrive and they never go away.
This is how the true men and women learned that questions are for walking not for just standing around and doing nothing. And since then, when the true men and women want to walk, they ask questions. When they want to arrive, they take leave. And when they want to leave, they say hello. They are never still.”

As told by subcomandante marcos, Zapatista army for nationa liberation, Mexico.

FERDOSI, THE GREAT

Today, Persians and the world reminisced about the great philosopher Ferdosi. In Tehran University and Ferdosi university in Mashhad , there was conferences in memory of him. That’s a pity we couldn’t participate. But for remembrance of this great man we decided to write some words since we, Persians, owe him our language and culture a lot. May he be ever remembered! And he would …





Ferdosi's life(taken from a site which you can see the address at the end of the article)
Ferdosi mentions the exact date for his sixty-third birthday in the Shahnameh. After reconciling the calendar he used with the ones still in use today, it’s been determined that he was born on Friday January 3rd, 940 A.D. (329 A.H., lunar calendar). His birthplace, Bazh, was a village in the neighborhood of Tabaran, the main district of the old city of Tus, in the province of Khorasan, Iran.
His honorific title (konye) is unanimously recorded as Abu’lQassem, which indicates that he had a son named Qassem. His son’s death at a young age grieved the poet immensely. According to Nezami-Aruzi, Ferdosi left behind only a daughter – a high-spirited lady…
For Centuries after the fall of the Sassanian (the last Iranian dynasty overthrown in the Arab invasion of the seventh century A.D.), the dehqans remained pillars of the Iranian community. They endeavored to preserve the memories of the golden days of the perished empire. They upheld the heroic traditions and the cultural heritage of Iran. Consequently, they became the paragons of the Iranian people. The very term dehqan became synonymous with “Iranian”, and the “learned narrator of history and sagas” of Iran.
Ferdosi came from this class, the landed nobility. Although his early years are obscure, being the son of a well-to-do squire, he undoubtedly received a high education and a strenuous physical training. The type of education and training which the sons of Iranian nobility would traditionally undergo. It is evident from his masterly creation, the Shahnameh that his educational concentration was on the Persian literature, and the Iranian history & sagas. He learned a great deal about ancient Iran and its heroes, culture, and heritage.
In 360/970, Ferdosi, then thirty years old, was an accomplished poet, married, with a two-year old son. He had a number of celebrated friends; among whom Mansur, the son of Abu Mansur Mohammad Abd-al-Razzaq, occupied a special position. Ferdosi’s life was filled with efforts to learn incessantly and attending the learned gatherings. He had a profound appreciation for beauty, especially natural beauty. This combined with his astonishing imagination made him an artist whose descriptions of the scenes are as colorful, as lively, and as absorbing as the great work of a master painter of the Realism School.
Ferdosi was a tall figure with a lively and optimistic nature. He lived much in the same way, as did his Sassanian ancestors, with prosperity and joy. He enjoyed such pastimes as horseback riding, playing games, feasting and drinking wine, and listening to music and songs. He loved life and all it had to offer. He was courteous, kindhearted, truthful, open-handed, warm, and faithful. He despised prejudice, ignorance, and greed. Ferdosi’s personality is well reflected in his work.
He admired wisdom sincerely. For Ferdosi, “truth” and “wisdom” were the keys to salvation. He emphasized that in moments of defeat and decline, hope must be retained; because old fallen trees can grow anew if their roots are preserved. This is one reason why he wanted to preserve the memories of Iran’s glorious past – which someday it might rise again. It was as if his love for Iran was part of his religion and governed his way of thinking. He idolized Iranian heroes, glorified their ways of life, and defended their traditions with zeal and conviction.
Ferdosi spent his best years pouring his energy and heart into charming, meaningful, and exciting poetry. The Shahnameh is an impressive monument of poetry and historiography; a poetical recast of what Ferdosi and his predecessors regarded as the account of Iran’s history. The singular message that the Shahnameh strives to convey is the idea that the history of Iranshahr was a complete and immutable whole. It started with Gayumarth, the first man, and ended with his fiftieth scion and successor, Yazdegerd III: six thousand years of history. The task of Ferdosi was to prevent this history from losing its connection with the future Iranian generations. Needless to say, he succeeded in a way that no other historian has, either before or after him.
As a man of strong principles, Ferdosi kept the Shahnameh undedicated for a long time. In all the years he was composing the Shahnameh, he had saved it for a royal patron who would recognize the value of such a treasure and would be worthy of receiving it. Such patron would ensure preservation of copies of the Shahnameh, and would help to propagate them throughout Iran.
