هستی‌ات را بر زمین ایجاب می‌كند.
عنصری‌ست كه با دقتِ ساعت، دقیقه و ثانیه، رُخصتِ آنكه در انبوه جانداران در عالمْ جای بگیری را تضمین می‌كند.
از آن لمحۀ خاص، از آنی كه اضطراب و عطرِ هم‌آغوشیِ انسانی به قصدِ زایش تو را به گریه می‌اندازد تا لحظه‌ای كه خویشتن را در كالبد موجودی ایستاده بر دو پای می‌شناسی، از تو بهره می‌گیرد.
تو را به مثابۀ انسانی ثابت‌قدم یا مقهورِ تقدیر می‌شناسانَد.
شگفت آنكه، داوری بی‌همتاست كه حقیقت پنهان را عریان می‌كند.
بدون ذره‌ای ترحم، بی‌وقفه بر اراده و داشته‌هایت می‌تازد.
وامی‌دارَدَت باور كنی در لحظۀ درست در جای درست ایستاده‌ای، اما به ناگاه درمی‌یابی فصل‌های زندگی‌ات را در هم پیچیده.
روزی خود را در حالی می‌یابی كه برای بیماران و درماندگان دعا می‌كنی، و روزی دیگر شاهد بهروزی و شادمانیِ دیگران از پسِ پنجرۀ بیمارستان هستی.
وقتی ایمن و آسوده در بستر می‌آرَمی خوش‌خیالیِ محض است، چرا كه خبرت نمی‌دهد فردا شب خوراك تازۀ موران و كرم‌های خاك باشی.
نه قابل سوداگری‌‌ست و نه قابل بازگشت.
گذشتِ آن ناگزیر، سخت و بی‌ترحم است.
وقتت را بیهوده برای زمان هدر نده، چرا كه به‌غایت سختگیرست و هرگز به هیچ رویْ فرصت دوباره‌ای به تو نمی‌دهد.

Inimitable Force
It indicates your existence on earth.
It is the one element that on the precise hour, minute and second grants you permission to be included in a colony of living creatures in the universe.
From the special moment where the tension and smell of human generation makes you cry, to the point where you recognize yourself as a two-legged individual, it takes advantage of you.
It introduces you as a consistent person or a destined loser.
Surprisingly, it is the unsurpassed judge who reveals the concealed truth.
It performs continuously against your will and possesses not one drop of compassion.
It makes you believe you are standing in the right moment at the right time but suddenly, it turns the seasons of your life.
One day you see yourself praying for the sick and poor; the next day you are the one witnessing the happiness of others from a hospital’s window.
When you sleep in your bed, safe and secure, it is so biased that it is not going to warn you that tomorrow night you will be ants and earthworms’ fresh meal.
It is neither tradable nor reversible.
It is immovable, restricted and incapable of mercy in its passing.
Don’t waste your time for time because it is very punitive and it will never ever give you a second chance.

Overview and HistoryTehran is the capital of Iran and the largest city in the Middle East, with a population of fifteen million people living under the peaks of the Alborz mountain range.Although archaeological evidence places human activity around Tehran back into the years 6000BC, the city was not mentioned in any writings until much later, in the thirteenth century. It's a relatively new city by Iranian standards.But Tehran was a well-known village in the ninth century. It grew rapidly when its neighboring city, Rhages, was destroyed by Mongolian raiders. Many people fled to Tehran.In the seventeenth century Tehran became home to the rulers of the Safavid Dynasty. This is the period when the wall around the city was first constructed. Tehran became the capital of Iran in 1795 and amazingly fast growth followed over the next two hundred years.The recent history of Tehran saw construction of apartment complexes and wide avenues in place of the old Persian gardens, to the detriment of the city's cultural history.The city at present is laid out in two general parts. Northern Tehran is more cosmopolitan and expensive, southern Tehran is cheaper and gets the name "downtown."Getting ThereMehrabad airport is the original one which is currently in the process of being replaced by Imam Khomeini International Airport. The new one is farther away from the city but it now receives all the international traffic, so allow an extra hour to get there or back.TransportationTehran driving can be a wild free-for-all like some South American cities, so get ready for shared taxis, confusing bus routes and a brand new shiny metro system to make it all better. To be fair, there is a great highway system here.The metro has four lines, tickets cost 2000IR, and they have segregated cars. The women-only carriages are the last two at the end, FYI.Taxis come in two flavors, shared and private. Private taxis are more expensive but easier to manage for the visiting traveler. Tehran has a mean rush hour starting at seven AM and lasting until 8PM in its evening version. Solution? Motorcycle taxis! They cut through the traffic and any spare nerves you might have left.People and CultureMore than sixty percent of Tehranis were born outside of the city, making it as ethnically and linguistically diverse as the country itself. Tehran is the most secular and liberal city in Iran and as such it attracts students from all over the country.Things to do, RecommendationsTake the metro to the Tehran Bazaar at the stop "Panzda Gordad". There you can find anything and everything -- shoes, clothes, food, gold, machines and more. Just for the sight of it alone you should take a trip there.If you like being outside, go to Darband and drink tea in a traditional setting. Tehranis love a good picnic and there are plenty of parks to enjoy. Try Mellat park on a friday (fridays are public holidays), or maybe Park Daneshjou, Saaii or Jamshidieh.Remember to go upstairs and have a look around, always always always! The Azadi Tower should fit the bill; it was constructed to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire.Tehran is also full of museums such as:the Contemporary Art Museumthe Abghine Musuem (glass works)the 19th century Golestan Royal Palace museumthe museum of carpets (!!!)Reza Abbasi Museum of extraordinary miniaturesand most stunning of all,the Crown Jewels Museum which holds the largest pink diamond in the world and many other jaw-dropping jewels.Text by Steve Smith.
