Nowroz

Re: Nowroz

I heard abut Nawroz only last year, when some Pashtun nationalist friends of mine were wishing me a happy Nawroz ... and I was like, what's that?

I think it makes much more sense to consider Spring the "beginning of a new year" than cruel, cold old January. :D Spring is, basically, nature's new year, anyway. It's more common in Iran than in other parts of the world, but for those who don't know, many, many Pukhtuns in Afghanistan also celebrate it.

I don't think it's "bad influence" of Iran/Persia. It'd be bad if we Afghans had to abandon a certain tradition of our own to accept a Persian one.

Happy Nawroz to those who celebrate it!

Happy Nowroz to you too......btw, SO many other countries celebrate Nowroz instead of Iran: Albanians, Kurdistan, and many more.

Q, you deserve something nice for Nowroz. You can borrow one of my afghan traditional dress, we can go and eat all the fruits for that season, and we can also do our little attan mela, forget the others! :P

I thought we were created our own picnic.

i would like to know, have you been to one?


oh i thought you wanted to come along with me to the one i was already going to........thats okay i would love to plan our own. I know a really cool place to have it, we will have to plan the food who is bringing what, we need more guests, we need a performer....I am thinking about Mangal, and we definitely can wear whatever we want. Every year i usually wear one of my afghan dresses (yes i am aware it has nothing to do with the Nowroz) but you see plenty of Afghan girls wearing them

Re: Nowroz

Do you mind me asking where do you live?

[Laila]

Re: Nowroz

Well there are plenty in Virginia, maybe you can fly there or something.....but have you heard about Nowroz on the Afghan channel and stuff?

Re: Nowroz

OMG!!!! I DONT mean to target you, but if you do not like it, you do not need to say anything, kapeesh! i mean i am sorry to sound rude and i am really not trying to be, but if you do not like it, GO REPLY TO ANOTHER THREAD!

I am not trying to get people to become Iranian or anything, HELL NO WOULD I WANT THAT! But reality is that IT IS celebrated in Afghanistan. If you do not believe me, go there and you will see what i am talking about. The reason why Afghanistan celebrates it is because its THE START OF SPRING! Not because they want to abide to Iranians, geez.......

Sweetums, ignore the comments presented by folks who think that it's more Pukhtun to wanna shoot themselves because they are reading something they don't wanna read than it is to celebrate something like a new year festival by which they are losing NOTHING Pukhtun!

I really don't understand this insecurity of so many Pukhtuns. Gosh.

And, really, why DO they feel like someone's holding them by the necks, FORCING them to read a thread they don't wanna read or reply to a thread? Just ignore! Is it really too much to ask, kids?!
