Saturday before last I became ashamed of being Iranian for the first time in my life. I just couldn’t believe that the people I call my fellow countrymen, had re elected Amadinejad. It was truly shocking. But then it all changed. What has been happening in Iran ever since that day, is so grand, so beautiful and so truly magnificent that you can’t help but be proud of having the same blood as those people running through your veins, even if you are thousands of miles away, only glued to your television and computer.
I wish I could be there. I have never wanted to be in a place as much as I want to be in Iran right now.

Hi, Shirin,
Good to see you back on the blog. What a pleasant surprise!
I thought you join the trendy groups who think Blogs are passé and social networking on the go via cell phones is the hot new thing!
I look forward to seeing more posts from you, as baby permits …

In regards to situation in Iran, “I wonder how history has kept repeating itself over an over again for past two and half millennia… (That is my two cents comments)”

Hi Foulla, wow, how did you find out about that? Let me know what you think of the book.
It's good to hear from you

Hi Amir :-) yeah I know what you mean! I joined facebook not so long ago myself but blogging is something else! I really miss it. Been a bit busy lately though so I haven't had time to come on here.

Dear Shirin,

I saw a poster of one of your books (Pea Boy) in Homeyra's weblog (Forever Under Construction). I asked Homeyra how I can buy the book here in Tehran and she redirected me here. I checked your website but it was only available in Amazon. I can't purchase it from Amazon. Would you please tell me how I can find a hardcopy in Tehran?

Regards
Boogi

Hello Boogi, I'm sorry but I don't really think there is a way of getting this in Iran. It was published in England and at the moment it is only on sale here I think. I will let you know if I find something out about that though.
Best regards
Shirin

I've been a fan for a long while as well, and happened to check here again after a long while.
I hope all is well with you; yes, the events in the summer were amazing.
