I am almost tempted to not study for my exam tomorrow and read through your blog for the rest of the day. You are simply wonderful.

And this is a very remarkable way to come back. Such a reminder of real life back home really sobers. Especially in a city (moved to DC since January) where rhetoric and prose around Afghanistan is mostly abstract, wrapped in big words, out of bigger mouths, and all habitually for its own sake. I hope you are well, and hanging in there when it seems to be getting harder and harder every other day. What a pleasant surprise to see you back. And this is a very remarkable way to come back.

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:46:19 +0000 http://safrang.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/this-is-farshid/#comment-6790 I've been eagerly awaiting your return and this post totally makes my wait worth the while. A wonderful piece (and I'm gonna suggest you push the piece around for publication). A side note, Virginia Quarterly Review just did an issue featuring some articles from Iraq and Afghanistan. If you manage to find a literary hipster western bookshop in Kabul, I suggest you pick up a copy...and maybe even submit this piece to them. Nix the maybe. Send it. Hope all is well and safe. Here's to praying for mercy from the grips of winter. Btw...can you send me an email w/ the address of your other blog?...q I’ve been eagerly awaiting your return and this post totally makes my wait worth the while.
