Dear Atria,
Yesterday we went to the Jewles Museum, the National Treasury which is kept under the central branch of Bank Melli in a massive walk-in safe. It was fascinating, most of the objects were priceless and one of a kind. There were all kinds of object used by kings, some of which was gifted to them by other people and other countries, all from gold and/or decorated with jewels, rubies, diamonds and other precious stones. These are only part of our treasures which have not been stolen, in fact one of the priceless stones there is a diamond called Daryaye Noor, which was taken from Iran together with its pair Kohe Noor. These stones found their way to India, but many years later Nader Shah and his army got them back. After Nader Shah was killed, Kohe Noor was again stolen and found its way to England, where it resides to date. The legand has it that these two diamonds were decorating the crown of Cyrus the Great, the founder of Hakhamaneshi and the Persian Empire. The also exists another legend that Rostam, the Iranian mythical fighter in the stories of Shahnameh, brought this back to Iran after he conquered Tooran. Sometimes I wonder why us humans have developed a sense of value for a piece of metal or stone, not because we like the look of it or because it heals us or perhaps because it gives us special powers, but just because it happens to be rare! Surely this can't be a natural instinct, otherwise animals should all have been digging for gold and diamonds. There are stories of birds steeling small items, but in my view it is the reflection of light that attracts them as they also said to have taken worthless shiny items. Another question to add to the Mysteries of Universe.

Dear Atria,
This is my happy song for today. This is Bob Marley's song. I don't know if you ever heard of Bob Marley? He was a Jamaican reggae singer-songwriter, musician and guitarist. His lyrics often carry some important messages and he was always an 'ambassador' of peace and love. He died from cancer at early age of 36. His final words to his son Ziggy in the hospital where he died were "Money can't buy life." Life is about so much more. So live your life dear Atria and be happy. Life is beautiful. You can sing along with this lyric below: Here is a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry be happy In every life we have some trouble When you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy...... Ain't got no place to lay your head Somebody came and took your bed Don't worry, be happy The land lord say your rent is late He may have to litigate Don't worry, be happy Look at me I am happy Don't worry, be happy Here I give you my phone number When you worry call me I make you happy Don't worry, be happy Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style Ain't got not girl to make you smile But don't worry be happy Cause when you worry Your face will frown And that will bring everybody down So don't worry, be happy (now)..... There is this little song I wrote I hope you learn it note for note Like good little children Don't worry, be happy Listen to what I say In your life expect some trouble But when you worry You make it double Don't worry, be happy...... Don't worry don't do it, be happy Put a smile on your face Don't bring everybody down like this Don't worry, it will soon past Whatever it is Don't worry, be happy |
