Santur virtuoso Parviz Meshkatian passes away at 54 Tehran Times Art Desk
TEHRAN -- Iranian santur virtuoso Parviz Meshkatian passed away on Monday afternoon.
Meshkatian died of heart failure at his home in Tehran, his nephew Behdad Babaii told the Mehr News Agency.
He was 54 years old.
Meshkatian was the leader of the Aref Ensemble, which did its last concert tour of Iran in November 2007.
Born in Neyshabur in 1955, he began his musical training at the age of six with his father Hassan Meshkatian, who was a professional tar and santur player.
He learned the radif, the total collection of more than 200 gushehs -- traditional melodic entities -- in all 12 dastgahs, studying under Iranian maestros Nur-Ali Borumand and Dariush Safvat.
He was also a student of Mohammad-Taqi Masudieh, Abdollah Davami, Saeid Hormozi, and Yusef Forutan, who helped him improve his skills.
After some years, he became one of Iran’s most prominent musicians.
In 1977, Meshkatian founded the Aref Ensemble with Hossein Alizadeh and Mohammadreza Lotfi. The group performed many concerts in Iran, Europe, and the Americas.
He also performed with some of Iran’s greatest vocalists like Mohammadreza Shajarian, Shahram Nazeri, and Iraj Bastami.
The collaborations resulted in the creation of the albums “Bidad”, “The Court of the Beloved”, “Mystery of Love”, “Nava”, and “Dastan”, which are all very popular in Iran.

Yeah, I know, this weblog is supposed to be an English one, but I read this poem somewhere and i really liked it. I thought you might also like it.
قطار می رود
تو می روی
تمام ایستگاه می رود
و من چقدر ساده ام
که سالهای سال
در انتظار تو
کنار این قطار رفته ایستاده ام
و همچنان
به نرده های ایستگاه رفته
تکیه داده ام!

What is Bilingualism?
Definition 1: The use of more than one language.
Definition 2: The ability to communicate naturally and fluently in more than one language in all areas of life.
Between these definitions lie worlds. Somewhere in between we want to see our children.
And as we know that life means learning in our constantly changing world, we understand that Bilingualism is a process, not a result.
But why do we want our children to become bilingual?.....

Lost is an American serial drama television series. It follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific.

The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004,[1] and since then five full seasons have aired.
