Falling in Love

Bravely I said, "Mash Qasem, this is all very well . . . but how can someone know he's fallen in love?"

"Well, m'dear . . . why should I lie? From what I've seen it's like this, when you're in love with someone . . . when you don't see her you think your heart's frozen over . . . when you see her such a burnin' starts in your heart you think someone's lit a baker's oven in there. You want everythin' in the world, all the wealth in the world, for her, you think you've become the most generous man on earth . . . to cut a long story short, the only thing that's goin' to satisfy you's an engagement party ... but there's this, too, if, God forbid, they give this girl to some other husband, then oh my Lord . . . There was a man in our town who was in love, and one evenin' there was an engagement party for the girl and another man; in the mornin' that neighbor of mine walked off into the desert, and now twenty years have gone by and still no one knows what happened . . . it's as if he'd turned to smoke and gone up to the heavens."

From Iraj Pezeshkzad's timeless masterpiece "My Uncle Napoleon" as translated by Dick Davis.

Isn't it the most beautiful part of the book? When Mash Ghaasem talks about his own feelings and defines love in such a profound way..

The picuture might be telling more than what our friend Pedram likes to admit!!

The picture and the text are different parts of the same package. I don't think Pedram denies it.

Excuse me, but exactly how many breasts does the woman in the picture have?

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
