gentle impulsion shakes me,makes me lighter, fearless on my breath

but i'm stumbling in the dark!

NBA

with LBJ, C. Bosh and Wade all signed with Miami; Kobe & Fisher in LA with couple of more good additions; Mavs & Celtics as well as Knick's good acquisitions, for me the team to watch is definitely Chicago Bulls.

with Boozer (probably, along with Amare and Dirk,  the most versatile power forwards in NBA at the moment), Derrick Rose has a great front court support who can score like any other Superstars but can also rebound. his team up with Noah makes bulls a tough team in defence, also a good scoring team with the scoring average he has.

now Bulls' gamble of sending Salmons to rivals Bucks seems to have been paid off.

our fathers backward attitude

years ago, when i still was a student, i used to teach. we had a family friend, a wealthy guy, price of whose wealth was people's blood. they had four daughters and a son, back then 3 or 4, probably 15 years younger than the youngest of the girls. the son was pretty annoying but the girls were quite cool. 

i used to teach the youngest. help her on chemistry, mathematics, etc. she was quite a cool chick. yet all the girls, although quite fun, were stuck in a male dominant conservative backward family set up. they were afraid of their father and literary do whatever he would have ordered them to do.

so one they i found out Neda, the youngest, is getting married and it was after the time that the youngest after Neda ran away with her best girl-friend saying they were in love. nothing wrong with that, for me of course. the family though, were devastated! so Neda getting married was a blessing for them. 

i found her on Facebook the other day. she's divorced. it's ok to be divorced, my sister is a divorcée.

whether she's happier or not is not the case, let's hope she is.

what it got me to think about was that what would it take for our fathers/families to wake up. for them not to lead their daughters, the ones that they have to love and protect into a hole called arranged marriage. a nose dive into misery. what it takes for them to realise that arranged marriages are not working. when they sent an 18 year old girl to the home of someone that they hardly know, it would most likely harm the girl. my father learned that lesson the hard way. so hard that i suffered as well. not all fathers in our society are like this but we have to admit that we are living in a patriarch society, where if male scholars (again not all of them but considerable number of them) could, they would have classified females in the same category as devil who should serve males as sex slaves and ensure men are fed, produce children and preferably sons. 

the fact is that she lost few good years of her life. the time that she could enjoy the most and now that she is divorced, the same mentality forces her to be a bit more careful in the way she lives because of what people might say. as result of this mentality,  divorcées are generally whores! well fuck whatever people might say. fuck the people. just wake up and let your daughters live their fucking life!!!

freedom

you fight back, but what you gain is nothing like it!
