If you haven’t heard the news about UN’s recognition of Nowruz, you’ve probably received at least fifty e-mails about it asking you to sign the petition. Would the Iranian Culture have been in danger had the UN not recognized this day? How much international awareness of this will be there this year, over previous years?
Also, during Nowruz, experiences of Iranians vary based on where they are outside of Iran, however it’s guaranteed that it’s different than the experiences of our peers in Iran. We discuss some of these experiences in Iran and US starting with Chahar-Shanbeh-Soori and then on to Saleh Tahvil, and the Eid Didani’s on subsequent days.

Salam Rofagha.
I’ve found your website through your clip for census and I’ve enjoyed listoning to your archive and programs so far. I’ve always some comments on what you say on air ( like the last one: Muharram (Arabic: محرم) is the first month of the Islamic calendar.”Wikipedia” regarding your comment about Eid of ghorban or Fetr as Arabic new year which was wrong, and as I know nobody celebrate or care about arabic new year) and some comment about friendship relationships among boys in Iran and …. which I will skip them.
any way I would like thank you guys and wish you all a Happy new year.
