History tells us that the Persians were very good at diplomacy and treated cultures they assimilated into their empire well. In fact, some groups became so well-treated that they rose to very high positions in the empire and practically ran the empire but as Persians, not seeking to turn the empire into their own or destroy it from within.

      @@LettuceBunnies The thing is that it's the perspective of a colonized mind. Whether it is Iran or India or even minorities in the U.S, we're colonized minds. We are told that we're less than because we're not the dominant ruling class and so we've internalized that message. I used to be so ashamed of being Muslim as a kid. OMG, I never claimed it. Being Indian, most people assumed I was Hindu and if they asked about religion, I told them that I don't discuss religion or politics with people. Now, as an adult, I'm unapologetically and unabashedly Muslim. That's a part of me and a part that has given me my moral compass and has made me into a kind, compassionate human being so why would I hide it or be ashamed of a significant part of me.

      @@St.Finger Honestly I don't know about the accuracy, but what's beautiful about Persian Calendar, is that it's a solar calendar. Meaning the first day of the new year (Noruz) is the first day of the first month of the first season of the year. So first day of spring is when the year starts. Everything is beautiful, fresh and new, and each season is exactly 3 complete months.

    1- K = کِی : the one's own name of some kings like (k khousro = کِیخسرو ) or ( k kavoos = کِیکاوس ) These names are in the book of Shahnameh written in the 9th century.

    I'm 100% Sicilian--my father's side came over a couple generations earlier, but my mother emigrated. It wasn't until I traveled to Italy to meet the family there, that I discovered that Saint days (or name days) were a thing, and celebrated like birthdays! So you had two celebrations a year--one for your birthday and another for your "onomastico", or the Saint day of the saint you were named for. St. Joseph's day even comes with it's own pastry and pasta dish! I get it--kinda feel like I'm owed a few back celebrations too! ;)
    And speaking of which, btw, Happy Birthday!

    We celebrate Nooruz in Kyrgyzstan, every year in March. We cook a very special meal for the whole night, making wishes, telling stories. It is a great occasion when the whole neighborhood gathers around one big table to talk, play games, sing and dance.

      By the way, as my BA is Translation & I have no doubt your book will be loved by most Iranians, I wonder if it is possible to translate it info Farsi?
      It would be a great chance for everybody to learn of your adventures and look at their own culture from a different point of view. What do you think?

    Yes, I like your "back child support" comment lol, finding out as a Potawatomi woman about our Native new years was a shock as an adult! it's also a celebration to ring in the new year, with the first thunderstorm signaling the end of winter and beginning of spring, mother nature-based. (This is just the Great Lakes Natives' new year, I cannot speak to the other regional Native nations' new years around the USA/Canada) omg this video is 7 years old...I just found out about your comedy, very humorous, my heart definitely feels lighter after watching!

    I got to know some Persians over the past four years and I love hanging out with them and learning Farsi to be able to connect with them. They get surprised each time we meet as I use a new Farsi word and jokingly ask me if I am actually not Persian, and I jokingly tell them I am actually from Ishfahan (a city in Iran which has beautiful Persian architecture and that I'd love to visit). They get a good laugh out of that! They loved sharing their food with me (generously!) and of course, Persian food is one of the things we love to discuss at each meeting (and I love to learn about).
