Entry 44It's about one month I've decided seriously to begin to play a musical instrument ...During this time I've become depressed a lot & have reproached myself for not beginning it many years ago ...Well ... it's not late ... By the way, I started thinking about playing the violin. My supervisor who has an MA in music besides everybody else told me it's very difficult , then I changed it to piano which I knew is very expensive, then I said ok : I'll play the organ ...When my supervisor who plays as well as teaches the piano heard what I said , dissuaded me in a way that I'm afraid talking about it with him again ...Anyway , I became so depressed that I took my "SE-TAAR " _ an Iranian musical instrument _ which was hanging on my wall and started to play it ...This is " SE-TAAR" ... 
I used to play it about 14 years ago , and I learned it just for 6 months ... then I put it away ( I really don't know why ) until last week when I thought I loved it and started to play it for myself ...I've decided to continue learning it , provided that I exchange it with " TAAR " _ which is a little different from " SE-TAAR " : when one learns "SE- TAAR" , she can play " TAAR " as well ; the instructions are the same ...And this is " TAAR " ... 
Entry 43I've started reading "Sophie's World " by: Jostein Gaarder - a Norwegian writer ...
It's my birthday present ... My best friends gave it to me as well as three other books ...As it's been mentioned in the book , it's a novel about the history of philosophy ...It's a great work of art and I'm really enjoying reading it ...The author tries to teach his readers philosophy through a novel using a veryyyyyyy beautiful , sweet and simple language ...I congratulate "Jostein Gaarder" on this great work ...
Entry 42Arthur Miller died...Hearing this news I remembered the time when I studied his masterpiece " Death of a Salesman" in university ...It's a modern play describing the life in the US today ...A few days ago I watched " Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner " _ an old film of the 1960's ...I enjoyed watching it a lot: true love was pictured in it verrrrrrry beautifully ...It also showed the American people's lives at that time which was completely different from what it is now ...There was no trace of the chaos which now exists in families, society and especially in LOVE ...enjoy both old and modern works of art, but this time this old film had a great impression on me ...I envied the life and the LOVE of that time ...
Entry 41After a long time, 7 or 8 years I suppose ,we had really SNOW inTehran today ! It was beautiful as it always is ... My brother and I ran in and played a lot with snow and made a short funny snowman in the yard ...I filched two plums from the freezer and used them for its eyes, used some straws for its nose & mouth and put one of my mom's old scarves on its head ...It's really niceeeeeeee ... standing still within the snow and looking at the beautiful view in front of it ! It'll be awake the whole night to tell us tomorrow about the news of what has made its body ...
Entry 40I finished reading " Of Love & Other Demons " by "Gabriel Garcia Marquez " a few days ago ... It was excellent ... Its English was perfect and a little hard for me ...A 13 year old girl has an incurable disease ... His father hopeless of everything sends her to a church so that she can be cured through exorcism _ the Christians in the church believe that the illness is a demon in her body and can be annihilated through exorcism ...A 32 year old priest who has to do this , falls in love with the girl ...The church finds out and imprisons both of them ...Anyway , they can't see each other anymore ...The girl dies ... but I believe she dies not of her illness, but of their separation ... I think "LOVE" was the only thing that could cure her ...
