Come on (Bia) by Abjeez

admin — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:58:45 +0000

Like Naj, I’m also tired of hearing the news of torture, rape and “trials” of my people. Music sometimes is the only way to calm down. Listen and read the English version of Come on (Bia) by Abjeez, to watch and listen to the Persian version click here.

Come and join us once and for all, let’s be honest, let’s be true
Join the force of love and see, what’s in there waiting for you!

Even in the wrestling rings our men tend to tolerate
Barefooted, with a waist-cloth, wrestling men of the same weight

You walk with your kneeguards; carrying chains and clubs, wearing a mask
Well done brother, what a champ! Is that what you call bravery I ask?

It’s easy to strike and brake, kill and burn, destroy and chase
I guess God can’t recognize, a properly hidden face!

Go on hit and kill, let’s see how long it takes,
Before your betrayed heart, melts down and brakes!

Let’s see when your hands will feel ashamed of your own zeal
Let’s see when your betrayed soul will wake up and start to heal

Don’t worry, you too are the “dust and mote” of this land
Unmask your face, see the light, see the truth and take my hand

Feel the compassion, unity calls at this hour
The power of love is higher than the love of power!

Come and join us once and for all, let’s be honest, let’s be true
Join the force of love and see what greatness is waiting for you!

Bring him home

I haven’t updated for some time, so I thought I’ll share this amazing performenace on Britain Got talent. Jamie who is a van driver and suffers from stage fright sings Bring him home from Le miserable. I get goosebumps anytime I listen to it! So here is the video (embedding the video is disabled by Youtube). Here is his fan site, I wish him good luck in the semi finals! I think he is even better than Susan Boyle as Susan knew how good she is and has recorded music before!

Here are the first set of pictures. click on the pictures to go to my photoblog and watch them in actual size. I’ll also try to write some of my experience during the trip soon.

Scientist: “to be[come] or not to be[come]“

Ali — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:50:22 +0000

A few days ago a friend of mine send me an article by an American University professor Jonathan I. Katz with the title “Don’t become a Scientist!”. It is very interesting point of view.
In the last few days I have been thinking a lot about this article. Of course for me is rather late now as I have done my PhD and am doing a Post Doc but maybe it is not too late. Well I’m still leaving all options open and see what is coming next…
Talking about scientists and grad students many of you might have been wondering if the economy crisis will have an effect on grad students or not. Here is the ultimate answer by PhD comics:

Kathy Reichs

Ali — Tue, 20 May 2008 07:43:28 +0000

I finished reading two novels from Kathy Reichs (Fatal Voyage and Monday Mourning), they are both great reads. So I thought I’ll write a few sentences about Kathy Reichs. As all the other novels that I’ve read from her is featuring Dr. Temperance Brennan (Tempe) who is a forensic anthropologist.
What I like most about Kathy’s novels is the exact and realistic description of how Tempe is getting to the conclusions from experiments mostly on bones. The reason behind this precision is of course the fact that she has a PhD in forensic anthropology and has worked both as an academic and as a part of an investigation teams. These descriptions are written good enough for everyone to understand without sacrificing the scientific base. Recently they started making a new TV series called Bones based on Kathy Reichs books and featuring Tempe Brennan, I have not watched any of it yet but I hope that in the series they don’t destroy her work!

If you haven’t read anything from Kathy Reichs yet, I totally recommend her books and as I don’t have any favorite between those 5 that I’ve read, I recommend them all! )

This is awesome, a friend sent me this video which is the casting for the Bulgarian Idol. She is trying to sing “Without You”. I specially love the way she sings “if leaving is without you”.
