#RandomThoughts As August Dawns….

July 30, 2021 A new month is at hand. I achieved a major personal milestone — although I still have about a month or so of administrative backends to address — and this major achievement won’t hit me until I get the actual degree within the next number of weeks:

I had been working away on projects and commitments at the Daily Outsider over the ensuing days. I decided to dedicate this special #RandomThoughts to an Iranian Icon: Mohammad Reza Shajarian who passed away — a legend in every which way. Ostaad Shajarian was one of Iran’s Modern Icons and…

Out & About With Mid-Month #RandomThoughts

It has been quite a challenging month being witness to a surge in COVID-19 and the on-going challenges in our World. — I tried to maintain a semblance of order as I was also very very saddened by what has been going on in Iran. Nasrin Soutodeh, The Lawyer and Civil Rights Campaigner, went on a hunger strike. Earlier, I saw reporting courtesy Ms. Soutodeh’s Husband, Reza Khandan, that their house was raided by security agents and their 20-year old daughter was taken into custody and was released on a heavy bond — according to Mr. Khandan (who himself I believe is on a suspended sentence), not even one woman security agent was in the raiding party. It was clearly designed and ordered at the highest security levels to intimate Ms. Soutodeh to break her hunger strike — this is as she’s also ill as Covid rages on. Here is a picture of Ms. Soutodeh and her daughter when I picked up the reporting early this morning after I initially released my Notations in my Daily Outsider Founders’ Corner:
