O Google, Shall thou find me

Now, thanks to "Iraq war" and "Iran nuclear issue", people of the world know the difference between these two countries. Now, thanks to Google, Iran is one of the top searches of the world. Now, thanks to our president Ahmadinejad, we are the breaking news of every agency and channel. Congratulations fellows! The spotlight has turned to us at last.

There is no doubt that Iran has suddenly turned out to be the most interesting topic of the world (After Britney Spears I mean). There are a huge number of documentary makers who are waiting at the boundaries of this country to be let in. There are many peeping eyes who want to see what is going on inside this labyrinth. It seems that due to White House policy this country is going to be known to every single creature breathing in this planet. So why do I write these lines? In this weblog I am to profile contemporary Iranian society and culture in all its richness and complexity, offering viewers portraits of a nation that are far removed from the clichéd images often associated with it. I think this country really needs some explanations. I am just a child of revolution and I have been a long long time inside this labyrinth searching for truth; the tiny truth of Iranian contemporary society which vanishes every time you think you have grasped it.

This weblog is a narration of personal stories intended to help its readers to understand the 'enigma inside a puzzle' that is Iran -one of the most dynamic and complex nations in the world today. This weblog is the private diary of a journalist who writes his unpublishable columns inside a highly censored country. It is the story of a holy place in which angels fear to tread.

P.S. I have named this blog after Arthure Koestler book, Spanish Testament, and will use the same method of journalism in presenting the real under surface identity of Iran.
