New days, New opportunities :-)

I passed year of 2010 with good and bad memories. Memories of loosing family friends and memories of accomplishing my bachelor, starting my master, getting a full time job, being super active in a student community; which activities are my dreams, and by the way re-taking my driving license with a LOT of stress. I think my dad is kind of sleeping well at nights, knowing he does not need to worry about his youngest son anymore(Hehe, I doubt that :-P)
Anyway, now it is 2011, one more increment in the journey of life, which brings new days & of course new opportunities. Life is too short to be wasted, or as a friend once had written on his Facebook status; too short to pretend. I believe, today is the time to learn something new every single day and accomplish new goals every other day, because tomorrow might be too late, or again as another friend said in her weblog ; "Next 365days improvement before i lose my fight of life". It's time to Plan a head, Work hard, accomplish on an average rate, document it to be useful for others and not to get forgotten through the huge daily pile of information, and at the end of the day to evaluate the day to reach a better accomplishment rate. I can also add at the end that never forget to have fun or you just blow the whole thing ...

An easy vegetarian food from northern Iran

Today from my Facebook I learn something quite interesting. An easy to make vegetarian food(of course for those vegetarians who eat egg) with fresh garlic leaves & egg. The food is originated from north Iran ans is called Sirabij. The who idea is very easy. Cut the fresh garlic leaves into very small pieces, fry them on a pan. Later set them aside on the pan & add mixed eggs(add as many as you wish, first mix them in a bowl) in the middle also adding salt, pepper and turmeric as much as you like. Mix everything together and fry a little bit more. Your food is ready to be eaten.

Original text in Persian :

سیرابیج برای ۴ تا ۶ نفر ( یک خورش محبوب شمال ایران - گیلان )
مواد لازم
۱- برگ سیر تازه ( شش دسته ) یا ( یک کیلوگرم )
۲- تخم مرغ ( ۵ عدد )
۳- زرد چوبه و نمک و فلفل ( بمقدار کافی)
طرز تهیه
برگ سیر تازه را خوب تمیز کرده و می شوییم و آن را از صافی می گذرانیم تا آبش کاملا گرفته شود. آنگاه برگ سیر را با کارد بطور یکنواخت ریز خرد می کنیم. در تاوه روغن ریخته برگ سیر را کمی سرخ می کنیم و بعد تخم مرغ ها را در ظرفی جداگانه شکسته و با چنگال ، هم می زنیم تا مخلوط شود. سپس برگ سیر ها را در کنار تاوه جمع می کنیم و تخم مرغ های زده شده را در وسط تاوه می ریزیم و کمی نمک و فلفل و زرد چوبه زده اضافه می کنیم و می گذاریم تخم مرغ بسته شود. سپس همه را با هم مخلوط کرده یک تفت دیگر می دهیم تا تخم مرغ با برگ سیر سرخ شود و غذا را از روی آتش برمی داریم. گاهی می توان یک دسته کوچک تره را هم با برگ سیر ریز خرد کرده و با هم سرخ نمود.
توضیح آنکه بوته سیر را در شمال می کارند. وقتی که سبز شد برگ های تازه و تر آن را می برند و از آن برای خورش سیر قلیه و سیرابیج استفاده می کنید. (سیرابیج به معنی سیر سرخ شده است) . نوش جانتان : احمد انصاری گیلانی

Tiger and Lion on the way back to Iranian wild nature, hopefully ...

Voice of Russia reported that "two Siberian tigers from Russia were presented to Iran Friday. The animals will live in a nature reserve in north Iran. Iranians plan to restore tiger population and Siberian tiger is the closest to the species which got extinct in Iran because of poaching. Russia got two Asian leopards in exchange. They are also endangered. The animals will live in Sochi Zoo." 


Iranian environment department has started two new projects which is to bring back to endangered species in the world(extincted inside Iranian borders) to Iran and breed them in large numbers. According to this plan they have exchanged two of the few existing Asian leopards(just in Iran) in the world with two Siberian tigers which genetically are very near to Iranian extincted Caspian tiger. They also have a plan to exchange two more of Iranian(Persian) leopards with two Indian lion which again genetically are almost the same as the old species of Iranian lions in Iran. The two tigers are supposed to be hold in a protected area in north Iran, called Miankale and the female reported to be pregnant. They will be freed after their population reach to 50-60.

Iranian Council Resignes because of Ashura killings ...

The Norway Post : The Consul at the Iranian Embassy in Oslo has resigned from his position in protest against his own government's use of violence against demonstrators last week, in which at least 8 people were killed and many arrested.
The consul, who has worked at the Oslo embassy for three years, is still in Oslo and has not yet contacted Norwegian authorities.
However, in an interview with public broadcaster NRK, he confirms that he has stepped down and that he is considering asking Norwegian authorities for help.
- It was the Iranian authorities' treatment of demonstrators around Christmas which made me realise that my conscience would not allow me to continue in my job, he says to NRK.
Head of the Norwegian-Iranian support committee, Rahman Saki, is concerned about the diplomat's safety: - It will be difficult because he will be severely punished if he returns to Iran. Not only he, but also his family, Saki says.
NRK says a spokesman for the Iranian refused to comment on what he called lies and unconfirmed rumours.
