To all the Persians out there who have a punishing schedule this weekend vising relatives, eating kebabs and drinking; Sale no mobarak! To everyone else, Happy Spring! With mere minutes to spare before the exact (astronomically observed) vernal equinox and the sun at our backs, Friday afternoon seemed the perfect opportunity to uncork and drink the dregs of our office stash.
It’s a big event and the one tradition that brings Shervin the most happines. Shamefully, I have never done the jumping over the fire ceremony with Shervin (he never misses this dangerous feat) which just sound like the right thing to do leaving your worries, fears behind in the fire in preparation for the new year.
Shervin and I raise a glass* (sorry I couldn’t do the selfie thing and raise a glass at the same time!) to all of you wishing peace, happiness and prosperity. *This moment brought to you by Ed Marion who bought us the Bushmills (Black).
