Please accept my belated “Happy Norouz”. Thanks to Language on the Move and all friends there who shared nice comments. Wish you all a year full of joy and success.. Happy Persian New Year 🙂
Kushhali Mubarak- Norouz Mubarak to everyone. At Aga Khan University, sweets were distributed and our Ismaili Muslim friends celeberated Nourouz with special prayers at Jammat Khana. As my boys study in a school run by Zoroastrian community in Karachi, they keep informing us about the holiday for Norouz days but it is perhaps only their school that celeberates Norouz- the rest is silence.
Thanks Language- on- the- move. I greatly appreciate this gesture of truly multicultural website.

A big thank you should go out to Language on the move!!
It’s really sad when people here in Australia don’t know much about Norouz compared to the Chinese New Year! I’ve been flicking through all the newspapers (listening to the radio as well) since yesterday but unfortunately haven’t been able to find anything as to what Norouz is and what Iranians do on this day!!
Thanks, Dariush! I was particularly disappointed with SBS, our supposedly multicultural broadcaster, who in the evening news yesterday had a piece about a minor speech by a minor British royal but nothing about Norouz. In the weather forecast, they mentioned that it was the last day of winter in Canada (why Canada was singled out from all the countries in the Northern Hemisphere I have no way of knowing …)
I wish a relaxed mind, a peaceful soul, a joyful spirit, a healthy body for all of you at the beginning of this year.Noruoz mobarak

Dear Ingrid
Thanks for your support. I’ve found the following in today’s paper, not really relevant, but looks quite promising!
