A man for all the seasons

It is the fourth year now since we have lost our evergreen poet, Ahmad Shamlu. He had a great influence on generations of intellectuals and public alike over the years.Considering his poetry heritage, he reached the summit and managed to live on the summit for more than forty years which is a great achievement.It is far better to show appreciation to a national figure efforts when s/he is alive, but given the situation we live under in Iran, the huge amount of especially young people -who didn't really have the opportunity to know him and his works very well- gathered to see him off, showed that he is going to live in our hearts, perhaps for ever.God bless him.

Still behind the bars

Although the Persianblog.com has been unblocked now, it is said that the Blogspot is still unavailable via the most of the ISP's in Iran,my own Persian weblog included.Sadly to say,it seems it's true,reviewing my weblog counter.Being optimistic, let's hope this is also a temporary measure and Blogspot will be accessable once again soon.

Blocking the Blogsphere in Iran

Free Our Weblogs

Blocking the whole blogsphere is not going to work,in my opinion.Simply because, each one of  us reviews some of  the famous weblogs daily,depends on our field of interest.Now,by blocking Persianblog and Blogspot, the active bloggers can easily use Bloglet system and e-mail their new posts to their readers on a daily basis or whenever they post anything new.So,as you can see we will be still able to see our favorite weblogs day by day without any interruption.On the other hand,weblogsphere is not a place for political activity.It is a tool in the hand of this generation to transfer information freely and to broad the ideas and thoughts of the public.This current generation is sick of listening to different radios or activists who their beliefs are next to nothing.This is hightime for us to think loudly,to express our feelings freely and to broad the public awareness as much as we can to vaccinate our country this time.If this blocking continues,we not only protest also break the blocking and transfer the new post by bloglet.
