In a recent visit with Asghar AghA, he seemed to have decided to
enter the world of politics, especially the "vatani" kind. He was
expressing his keen interest in "vezArat and vekAlat".

Me:	Asghar AghA! Give it up. What are you trying to do? 
	Get off the devil's khar! Do you want to lose your
	head? I mean c'mon digeh bAbA!!

Asghar AghA:	na kheyr AghA! I believe. I want to do something
		and make a difference. I have to contribute.

Me:	Khob, Asghar AghA, you can start doing scientific research
	and publish an article in NOOR or you can help Iranians
	by sending medicine, and money. And those are the safe
	things to do. Why do you have to do it the hard way?

Asghar AghA:	Nope! ellA-o-lellA! Nemishe keh nemisheh! I gotta
		outline my proposal to "ahleh-beyt". I feel I
		have leadership capabilities and I have to become
		a "SiA-sat-madAr". I just know it in me.

All of a sudden Shamsy Khanoom came running into the room. She apparently
had overheard our conversation while she was in the other room, on the
phone with "Maliheh Khanoom", while she was "berenj bAr mizAsht". She
looked quite "parishoon".

Shamsy Khanoom: VA! Asghar! BiA boro peyeh kAro zendegit. Toro che be
                in gondeh gooziyA?!?! khAkeh Alam. Bebin digeh kAr be
                kojA keshideh. vAy vA vAy! Asghareh mA ham mikhAd hezb 
		dorost koneh. Mardeh hessabi! Toro cheh beh siAsat.
		Vel kon boro donbAleh kAreh khodet.
      ****hit the top of your hand with the palm of your other hand
         and gently bite your lower lip*****

Asghar AghA:	Na Shamsy KhAnoom Joon. Harfesho ham nazan. Aslan
		taghsireh to hastesh ke man sAlha in est'edAd ro
		dAshtam vali you always stifled it. No more. I have
		to do this. DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. I
		know myself. Do you have any documentation and evidence
		to support what you are saying regarding "siAsat be to
		nayoomadeh??" 

Shamsy Khanoom, having faced this aggressive attitude, turns around and
goes right back to the other room to call "Vajiheh Khanoom" and ask her
to send "AghA RezA" over, maybe he would be able to talk Asghar AghA
out of his latest passion: SiAsat!!!

I thought, "Hmm! Why don't I find out what he has to say before AghA
RezA gets here and starts arguing with him." So I said, "Asghar AghA,
shoma befarmAyin proposAletoon chiyeh. Man hAzer hastam goosh bedam."

Asghar AghA, having received a minimal measure of confidence, looked
around, sat down on the carpet, leaned on the "poshti", and held up 
his "chAyee ghand-pahloo". He put a sugar cube in his mouth, started
sucking on it and then brought the tea cup to his mouth and took a 
sip. Miraculously, the sugar cube was still alive and visible! 

" Ey AghA! Dast roo delam nazAr keh az in donyA khooneh. I don't know
how to start. All I see is fighting, and fighting and fighting. I know 
I sometimes participate too, vali mA ham Irooni hastimo bAyad ez-hAreh
vojood bokonim. But it gets real old real fast. Fighting has never gained
us anything. This is the time that we should stick together and come up
with decent solutions to our problems. I thought I could help, so I 
put together a small proposal for ahAliyeh SCI ( (C) Amoojoon) and thought
I'd share it with them. Why don't I give to you so you can post it before
AghA RezA gets here and starts getting on my case."

Me: 	Ok, Asghar AghA. Lotf konin bebinam.

He gave me the proposal and I left Asghar AghA's house and headed home,
eager to read and see what this new "sargarmy" of Asghar AghA has to offer.
