Shopping in subway train

In populated cities, such as Tehran (my city), subway is very important for fast transportation. People, who do not like to waste their time in heavy traffic and to consume benzene more than usual, and also students and employees prefer to use subway for shuttling between two places in the city.


In Subway train of Tehran, there are special carriages for women, first and last carriages. Women can ride in all of the carriages but those two carriages are for women who like to be comfort.


 

 I have not ridden subway train, but my sister uses it regularly. One of the very interesting things in women carriages is shopping. Imagine you are sitting on your seat or standing in a corner (when there is no seat for sitting because of crowd), and then different goods are passing near your eyes. Saleswomen sell many portable things such as kitchen utensils, different clothes (scarf, stocking, women underwear…), cosmetics, phone cards and also donuts, candies, fruit pastes and many other things, (I am fan of fruit pastes and donuts). Some people use this opportunity for selling books and CDs. Sometimes you can see new things that you do not know it but it is useful for you. It is very enjoyable moments, especially when you buy something.
I think it is also very good place for companies and producers to convey their products to consumers directly.
If you are woman, and you can use subway, remember to ride Tehran Metro when you visit my city. 

P.S. I found this pictures by searching in google.

Please Don't Smoke!

Hi Everybody!
After a long time I am here. I was very busy with my studies. But my today’s post:
Most of the time, after finishing my jobs at the university, I try to go from the department to main entrance/exit of the university by myself. I use manual wheelchair and because of weakness of my arms, I need help in sloped pathways. In the aforementioned route, there are two sloped paths: the ramp of the department and a short path which connects two main streets of the university. I usually request people to help me in these positions. Sometimes people ask me: “Can I help you?” and I reply, smilingly: “Yes! Please!”. They usually are in back of me and I do not turn my head for checking who they are and what there is in their hands!!

I have an allergy to smoke of cigar and when I expose to it, I cough for some minutes. I do not understand why people smoke cigar! It is poisonous and is very harmful for our bodies and for the environment.
Our bodies are gifts from God and we should keep them safe. The environment is also gift and we should preserve it. When somebody smokes, molecules of smokes penetrate in the air. These molecules are very dangerous and when someone breathes, they can enter her/his respiration system and deposit on airways of her/his lung. Having clean air is right of everyone. We should respect others rights. Smoker hurts her/himself, others and the environment. Can she/he forgive her/himself?

Weblog Game

Hi Everybody!
One of my dear friends, Tannaz, invited me to a weblog game. My dear Tannaz! I accept your invitation. ;)

In this game, there are some questions and my answers.

The worst event in my life:
It occurred about 12-13 years ago; my father had a stressful responsibility. Due to these stresses he had a Stroke at work; his colleagues brought him to the closest first aid station, but cause of a medical error, my father had a Myocardial infarction immediately.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The best event in my life:
It is related to above event. After both Stroke and Myocardial infarction, my father went to Coma, but something like miracle saved him. Thanks God!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The worst decision in my life: 
I do not remember. But when I was teenager, I ended my friendship with one of my neighbors because another neighbor told on her. I did not consider different aspects then made a decision.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The biggest regret in my life:
I did not do my best in past years. I could be better and more useful.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The most effective person in my life:
My parents. Kindness, patience and sacrificing of my mom and emphasizing on learning, cordiality and efforts of my Dad affect my life.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you believe in miracle?
Sure! I think God created this world based on some rules. When we obey these rules and do not try to disturb of world’s rhyme, then there are many powers for helping us. If you study science then you can see miracle in everything.
------------------------------------------------------------------
My wish:
I wish a day without war, hunger and poverty. I wish a day all of people, specially children are happy and health.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I lucky person?
I do not believe in chance, whenever I try to do something, God shows me the way. Sometimes I do not consider God’s guides and I miss opportunities.
------------------------------------------------------------------
My idea about these words:
      Love: A great power in our world
      Treachery: very bad, ruining others' thoughts and hopes.
      Mendacity: this is very bad too. It is mother of many bad things.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not like whom?
I do not like people who make happiness for themselves by destroying others happiness.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Have I ever broken any body’s heart?
I do not think so, at least in past 15 years.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Why this name for my weblog?
I have explained my reason in previous posts. Because some people think disabled persons are not normal human.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Which of my friends in web space (virtual world) do I like the best?
I have not many friends in virtual world. But I like all of them.
------------------------------------------------------------------
A definition of my life:
My life is as a sinusoidal curve :)
------------------------------------------------------------------
These words remind me what?
      Peach: an easy thing
      Tear: my happiness and also my pains
------------------------------------------------------------------
My eye’s color: brown
My favorite color: light blue
------------------------------------------------------------------
Status of answering my phone:
If my cell phone is in my access and if I do not busy, I will answer all known numbers.

OK! Game finished! Now is your turn my friend.

Radiate Love!

This morning, I read a text its title was miracle of love. It was about an emotional relationship between a human and a tiger.
I think real love has wonderful power. We, as human, animals, plants and things are composed o
f molecules, in fact of fundamental or elementary particles. The building blocks of whole of our universe are these particles. When we love somebody or something purely without expectation, a positive energy is radiated to our environment which affects all of particles surrounding us. The particles absorb this energy, and re-emit it to us. It is a great feeling.
When I talk to, for example, my cell phone and say kindly and lovely words, It senses my feelings and reflects them to myself.
Maybe you think I am mad but I am sure miracle of love is true.

Why I do not need chair wherever I go?

Now, I would like to tell you why I am a space girl? Why somebody looks at me as an odd thing? Why I do not need chair wherever I go? ... And, Why I am disabled?

My disability is due to a disease, its name is Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). In this disease the bones are brittle; an imperfect protein (Type I collagen) is responsible for this fragility. So, my bones broke easily, even when i was sleep. From when I were 8 months old till when I were 7 years old, many fractures occurred in my legs and arms and also in my chest. In that years, after recovery, I could walk, but these fractures weakened my legs and arms gradually, limited their growth and caused deformities in them. After a bad fracture in my thigh when I were 7 years old, I could not walk. I use wheelchair to move since when I were 9 years old. The fractures have continued but the number of them have decreased gradually.
 
This painful life is full of good and bad events; I will try to write my experiences for you, preferably, good ones.
