استسقا

به حرص ار شربتی خوردم مگیر از من که بد کردم
بیابان بود و تابستان و آب سرد و استسقا

Just Watch The Video!

Soil and Soul

(I)
Our land is emerald,
But in the deserts of the exile,
Successive springs,
Sprinkle nothing but poison.
What should we do with our love?
While our eyes and mouths are filled with iced soil and dew

سرزمین ما زمرد است
ولی در بیابان های تبعید
بهارهای پیاپی
جز زهر بر چهره ی ما نمی پاشد
با عشق خود چه کنیم
در حالی که چشم ها و دهانمان پر از خاک و شبنم یخ زده است.
-------------------------------
(II)
As long as deep in the heart,
The soul of a Jew yearns,
And forward to the East
To Zion, an eye looks
Our hope will not be lost,
The hope of two thousand years,
To be a free nation in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

از صمیم قلب
روح یهودی اشتیاق دارد
و به سوی شرق، به صهیون،نگاهی می اندازد
امید ما هرگز از بین نخواهد رفت
امید دو هزار ساله
تا ملتی آزاد در سرزمینمان باشیم
سرزمین صهیون و اورشلیم
--------------------------------

Yet standing!

Extremely hard! I could not imagine how college can be that hard in my country.
I don't mean the subjects but the mental pressure that I'm facin'. All friends are studing as much as 10 hours a day. But I, only 2 hours!

Spiritual Dumbness!

Differential Calculus, physics & English.
The first day started with all these junks. Getting ready for the university entrance exam , I should choose a new lifestyle because in addition to the hardness of the exam itself, the competition is extremely ubiquitous.
I don't think about an option other than software engineering because I have really felt in love with that already. Yes, there are other subjects that I like but I cant select them such as politics & literature.
But there are some important obstacles that make me not to study such as my recent projects . But I plan to complete them and stick on that nonsense. Damn!

A cup of tea(Zen Story No.1) --یک استکان چای (داستان شماره یک ذن)ـ

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

---

نانین، استاد ژاپنی در دوره ميجی، يکی از استادان دانشگـاه را که می خواست از او در مورد ذن سوالاتی بپرسد، را پذیرفت، پس از زمانی مباحثه، نانین چای را در استکان مهمان خود سرازير کرد و همانطور به ریختن ادامه داد، استاد دانشگاه که استکان چای را در حال سرازير شدن می ديد نتوانست ساکت بماند و گفت: "استکان پر شده است، ديگر جايی ندارد"، نانین به او گفت: همانند اين استکان، تو نیز از اعتقادات و تفکرات خویش پر شده ای، اگر ابتدا استکان خویش را خالی نکنی، چگونی توانم ذن را به تو نشان دهم؟
