Four days to the end of the year... today was the last day of school & as of now we have about three weeks holidays, & that seems great...I'm so happy that I just don't know what do I wanna do in holidays...
Anyways, tomorrow night is time of an Iranian celebration called "Charshanbe soori", this celebration is one of the greatest cultures of ancient Iran, although these years because of some problems it has changed a lot but is still enjoyable & I love it...
we light fires in the streets & jump over them...there are lots of different fireworks & explosions that have loud voices ...In old days Iranians used to get together , eat special nuts of this celebration & have a happy time, they also light a small fire because they believed that fire is holy , just as a matter of having a nice year…there was also another culture that girls or women went to neighbors’ houses with a big dish & a spoon, they made a noise by the spoon on the dish with their face covering…then the host had to come & give something like special nuts of charshanbe soori to the person & guess who she is…& there were lots of these kinds of things they used to do…
For sure some of these things can’t be done these days , But nowadays young boys & girls light very big fires & do lots of exciting & somehow dangerous works…recent years Police tried hard to avoid people to have this celebration & perhaps that’s one of reasons that Charshanbe soori has lost its last nice way of getting together & laugh & spend happy hours & It’s become a kind of movement & a way for people to show their dissatisfaction…For sure, this year there will be some problems with people & police, & even harder than other years because of Moharram month…But people won’t give up…
You know, getting prepared for charshange soori starts some weeks before it…people buy different kind of things & explosive devises & makes loud noises … now my ear is full of these noises.
Anyway, with all dangers & excitements that’ll be really fun… I just wish a great "Last Wednesday of the year" & a wonderful Year with happiness & freedom...
