A Way for Easy Living!

I heard on the news that in Italy a movement has started known as "Slow City Movement." Some Italian people move to small cities "to slow down the pace of life and protect local traditions." One of these small but lovely cities is "Greve" which is called "Calm City." People live easily, happily and calmly in this city without any anxiety. Then I said to myself: "it is a good idea to start such a movement in Iran. After my graduation, I can move to a small city then I would live happily ever after!" Anyway, I think all the world needs this movement to find themselves again in the calmness which has been forgotten.

Let's Know More About "Rudkhan Castle"!

I have received the following information about "Rudkhan Castle" from my sister:
Iran's biggest ancient brick and stone castle. Rudkhan Castle, located 25 km southwest of Fooman city north Iran, is a military complex which had been constructed during the Seljuk Dynasty. The Castle is built on two tips of a mount, with an area of five hectares. Its architects have benefited from natural mountainous features in the construction of the fort. Also a river known as "Rudkhan Castle River" exists on the right side of the castle, which originates from the heights and flows from south to north. Rudkhan Castle occupies an area of about 5 hectares and sits at the two peaks of a mountain at elevations of 715 and 670 meters and is fortified by strong fortifications and battlements at a length of 1,550 meters. The castle's 42 towers still stand intact. After crossing a mountainous winding route and passing dense and very beautiful jungles, the first thing that the traveler discovers is the castle's big entrance gate which is grand and huge.

Let's Be Ourselves!

Your inside is the real you. You are always engaging in talking, counselling, or even struggling with it from every morning to night. When you let it be free, you are yourself! You think loudly, you laugh loudly, and you weep loudly...But when you imprison it with the mask of hypocrisy, you lose yourself! You contemplate artificially, you smile artificially, and you cry artificially...Yes, when you are yourself, you are like a real flower and when you lose yourself, you are like a plastic flower. So, let’s be ourselves and be a real flower in this real spring!
