Each one of us plays their role in history.
The ADC Challenge
There is a lot wrong with ADC, but there is a lot right. It is worth saving. I challenge everyone angry about the Malek Jandali affair to take ownership of ADC and fix it. Boycott is not the answer.
LUSH
I once bought a gift basket for my wife from UK-based organic cosmetics company, LUSH. I’ll be buying a few more from now on.

PWA: Perzians with Attitude
Who the hell needs 2Pac. Mojan, a Persian rapper, brings it in this video with bouncing Iranian babes and hanging tin foil. He spares no cost. Khoda, Persian guidos are amazing.
