On the Prowl For the Week-End With Some #RandomThoughts




I have been working away for the night while making the late daily rounds of the Iranian Political Commentary Today.    A sampling of my Stamp Collection reflected an evolution of the history of Iran: 




This week was quite personal.    43 years ago this week, His Imperial Majesty the late Shah left Iran for the last time--This program by Iran International hosted by Dr. Sima Sabet (on the right ) interviewed three analysts--the first gentleman from the right was Dr. Nourizadeh who was Political Editor for the leading publication, Eteelat, who was witness to the day that the Late Shah left Iran and Dr. Bakhitar, the last PM received a vote of confidence from the Majlis--I released a clip remembering the great Dr. Bakhitiar earlier today while reflecting on this day--I remember that day (and it was quite a day)--My Father put my Mother, my sister and I on the plane three days later to LA.  

In spite of the on-going challenges at hand, I continue to remain hopeful as I look forward to doing my part to make a difference: 

Mike,

Last year, you stepped up in a big way for the planet. Take a look back at what YOU made happen in 2021:

YOU helped us raise our voices by reaching

1 Million

actions taken to defend the planet.

YOU fought for a green future alongside 

160,000

fellow Global Citizens.

And, carried the voices of people from over

200

countries.

YOUR actions protected and restored more than

157 Million

trees.

And, more than

$300 Million

in commitments to fight climate change.

In 2022,

we're determined to go even further.

Will you join us?

Out & About With Some Brief midmonth #RandomThoughts

 It has been quite a year already--and it has only been 15 days!!!

As I was finishing off some projects for the Daily Outsider and reflecting upon it all, I couldn't help but think about the personal milestone I achieved which I hope I can live up to the admonition I noted recently:


Onward to the 2nd half of the month....

On This #NewYear2022...Some Brief #RandomThoughts.....

Happy New Year!!

2021 was quite a year!!  Although  I was busy with new projects epitomized by what I did on Grammarly & the support I had the pleasure to extend to the work at the Daily Outsider (and as pouraryan.org was officially launched which is the new home for this "corner).   I was extremely thankful I was able to stay engaged as I look forward to the ongoing engagement during the new year.

Onward to 2022....
