I never saw him again.<br />HERE you can read that comment: http://book-of-life-chapter-three.blogspot.ca/2009/03/home-for-gelders-painting.html<br />I googled it but nothing came up. <br />He was/is a great man.

I am not sure when it comes to dress Iranian have traditional dress the way Indian do. Even my grandpa had a suite for his wedding and my grandma had a white dress. I don't think it's a matter of prestige because it's not like I am choosing between be traditional or going western, there is no traditional dress. at least I don't know anyHivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571629840093109900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592207.post-54961677006510706732009-03-29T22:08:00.000-07:002009-03-29T22:08:00.000-07:00Hey Hiva I was reading Ur Archives and I found a H...Hey Hiva I was reading Ur Archives and I found a Haftseen Table photo.There was ur wedding photo on the table. I just wanted to ask u abt the Attire.He is wearing suit and u are wearing gown and both are Western.I wanted to know is this the traditional dress for Iranians ?Because I have many Iranian Photos {wedding or Other gatherings}and Iranian men are wearing nice suits and women are also in western attire,all looking more western than westerners themselves.So I want to know if this is Iranian traditional attire or is it copied from west{thinkin its a matter of prestige or something}.Becoz in my country we wear western stuff like jeans n stuff but for weddings and festivals we are very traditional in dressing.Deep Blue Seanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592207.post-35029848512148801382009-03-29T15:24:00.000-07:002009-03-29T15:24:00.000-07:00how lovely? and you look great in the picture! :-)...how lovely? and you look great in the picture! :-)Friedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535213462691426625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592207.post-87588053724931280122009-03-29T11:33:00.000-07:002009-03-29T11:33:00.000-07:00DSBI explained it in my very first post, First cha...DSB<BR/>I explained it in my very first post, <BR/>First chapter childhood<BR/>2ed chapter teen years<BR/>3rd chapter adulthood (the phase I am in)Hivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571629840093109900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592207.post-77743238856255771732009-03-28T10:18:00.000-07:002009-03-28T10:18:00.000-07:00Hey Hiva ,I wanted to ask u why u call ur blog " B...Hey Hiva ,I wanted to ask u why u call ur blog " Book Of Life , Chapter three " ?
