I have been Blessed with Another Son

He is 12 days over due but after some inducement and some stern talking to ;) the little fellow, after a lot of effort, finally decided to pop out this morning. This is my second son and now I have a proper dynasty, when I finally fall, my boys will carry the banner for a secular democratic Iran :))))

Joking aside, I promise never to indoctrinate my children, they will be free to choose and think however they want and I should not expect them to be passionate about the things I am passionate about. I do hope however that they will live in a free country, where they will not be persecuted for their beliefs and they will not have to look over their shoulder for what they say. I hope they will cherish and safeguard these privileges.

Giving birth is the greatest miracle of them all and those who protect and save lives have the most rewarding professions. I am going to catch up with some sleep.

p.s. I can't get to my old email, if you want my new email, just leave a comment with your email, I won't publish it and save it in my new mail box instead.

Hi Potkin,

This is Michael Petrou contacting you. We haven't corresponded in a couple of years. I still write for Maclean's magazine in Canada. I know this is a long shot, but I'm trying to track down Shahram Azam, the Iranian doctor who examined Zahra Kazemi after she was tortured and murdered, and who then sought asylum in Canada. Any chance you'd know how to track him down?
My email address is: michael.petrou@macleans.rogers.com

I hope you are well. I continue to enjoy your blog Congratulations on your second son.

Best wishes,

Michael

So what's his name? I knew you always had dynastic plans...masquerading around as some sort of democratic secularist:))

What if he turns out to become a socialist? Wouldn't that be ironic:)

Just imagine when he's 17 and beginning to become politically aware and finds out his father had a blog back in the day and decides to check out the archives. That's when he comes across the eloquent and poignant posts of the late Barmakid and begins to think to himself, "How could someone be so write, so many times? Barmakid knew that Barrack Hussein Obama would get elected,and simply because of the math. Barmakid's a genius." But I digress...


CONGRATULATIONS!!!

barmakid

p.s. make sure he learns how to read and write Farsi

Sohrab said...

Congratulations Azarmehr - wishing you and yours all the best.

Azarmehr said...

Thanks every one!

Barmakid, 'If he becomes a Socialist??' I will nail his ears to the wall :))))) Honestly I won't mind, he will come to see the errors of his judgement in his own time :)

If he ever gets to read this blog and your comments however, he will say who is this Barmakid who put a comment on my birthday? saying:
"How could someone be so write, so many times? " Can he not tell the difference between right and write? ;))

Isn't it great that at times like this, the human spirit wins over ideological differences?

Azarmehr said...

Thank you Arash and Thank you Mr. Barnes. I was just checking the date to see who else was born on that day and what happened on 24th October. Looks like the Kray brothers were born and the October revolution happened on that day!!

Potkinjon,

United Nations was also founded on October 24, but in 1945. All the best to you and your family.

Azarmehr said...

Mahtab e aziz,

Perhaps the little fellow will unite Iran and Slovakia ;)
