Happy New Year

Hello all you football fans around the world!

For those of you who may not know, today is the first day of the Iranian New Year or Norooz (Meaning New Day).

I wish to take a moment and by the powers granted to me by me declare you all Iranians for the day and wish you a very Happy Iranian New Year.

Norooz is one of Iran’s ancient holidays and has its root in Iran’s pre-Islamic days. It has been and is celebrated in many countries like Afghanistan, Turkey, India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and more.

Some of the Norooz customs go back to more than 3000 years ago, and are still practiced today.

So a very happy and prosperous 1385 to you all, and as they say in Farsi may you have 100 more like it!

Cheers,

Afshin

Dear Farhad,

You sent me an email that I, by mistake, deleted before reading.

Could you please resend it?

Thanks

I think it was yesterday. I saw your name, but unfortunately my finger worked quicker than my eyes, and I clicked delete before I read it. Too much coffee I suppose! ;-)
