Alastair Campbell
This morning on my way to work, I was feeling sorry for myself then I bumped into Alastair Campbell jogging. Then I thought "Things could always get worse!". Contrary to Labour Party's theme tune "Things can only get better".

Am?lie-Afsaneh
Check Afsaneh Bahrami's funny article. I think she is Iran's answer to Am?lie. She has the same sense of humour and the resemblance is uncanny!

Beckham in Tehran
Photos of David Beckham have been blacked out on billboards in Tehran (view image), in a backlash against Western cultural influence (BBC). I think the advertisers could have got away with the above picture!

HB-Bomb
Not an H-Bomb but an HB-Bomb! Has anyone noticed the similarity between Iranian Scud missiles and HB pencils?

9/11 s
On 9/11/1906 Mahatma Ghandi addressed mass meeting of Indians at Johannesburg and began a crusade of non-violence. His campaign shaped a new way of thinking about resolving conflict. The 9/11/2001 followed by calls for revenge and war. It is sad that two years after the terror attacks, the world is less united than it was in the immediate aftermath. There is also 9/11/1973 which we should all remember.
