The twin brothers wake up on the morning of their 100 years birthday to prepare for a 2 hours long travel to the ocean. They want to leave their fishes there. They are keeping two fishes in their separated pitchers as the symbols of healthiness and life every year and they believe if one of their fishes dies, the one who owns it will die shortly after.
The brothers are ready now with the help of their middle age nurse to move to the train station which is located at the edge of their small village but they arrive with delay, thus the passenger train doesn't wait longer and leave the station after a few minutes of waiting. Now the twin brothers are supposed to seat and wait at the station with their fishes for an hour or two to board a cargo train which only has one passenger compartment.
During these moments, railways' personnel at the station who have accompanied the brothers at their birthdays for years, come for visiting and honoring them. The cargo train with a 60 years old locomotive pilot and his young assistant arrives at the station. The young assistant happy to see the passengers, cleans the only comportment on the train and help the twin brothers to board it but as he puts the pitchers on the designated area above the chairs, he notices that one of the fishes is dead. He knows that it is the sign of the death of fish's owner.
The young assistant informs the locomotive pilot. they decide to divert brothers' attention, avoiding them to find out this sorrowful occurrence, until the end of the 2 hours trip.
In the meantime the twins are worried about the place of the pitchers. They asks the assistant to give the pitchers back to their hands and the young man using different tricks deviates their attention until they arrive to the next station. The assistant asks for help from a young couple at the next station. The young couple enters a discussion about "modernism and traditions in Japan" with the brothers which unwillingly hurts them. The assistant is forced to drop the couple at the next station and ask a policeman to help him. The policeman, this time accompanies a soldier and a young criminal. The twin brothers appeases the criminal and he cleverly misuses their truth and steals their little saving. At the third station the young assistant is forced again to drop the soldier and the criminal and this time board a farmer who is traveling to the city, pleading for justice. The farmer does not listen to the warnings of the assistant, asking not to tell the twins about the fishes. so the assistant drops him off too.
At the same time the locomotive pilot tries to explain the story of the dead fish to railways officers at the destination for finding a substitute as fast as possible and change it with the dead fish. The last passengers of the compartment are two teenager students who make the brothers happy by their innocence.
At the destination, the railway officers, immediately put an alive fish in the pitcher and give them to the brothers. The twins accompanying by the railway officers and some of the local citizens go to the coast. They participate in "leaving the fishes to the waters" formalities. Then they return to the city market to choose and buy two new colorful fishes.
This time, the twins board a passenger train, tired of a half-a-day trip, going back to their village. They are leaned on their chairs, having a pleasant smile on their faces and they are slept. Some of the passengers are eager to gaze at their beautiful faces fallen into a deep sleep and a young couple takes photographs of them. When the train reaches the destination, the middle age nurse is ready to take them back home but only of the twins gets up from the sleep. The other one have slept forever while his colorful fish dancing in his blue pitcher.

It is less than a year that I'm a blogger and It is less than a day that I'm an English blogger.
I was thinking for the last couple of months to start an English blog. Nonetheless I have chosen journalism as my major at University of Maryland, and writing is an essential part of it.
As a journalistic mind requires I follow many events and happening of very different spheres. I love politics and any political event might seems worthy to follow for me. I also like to follow some other dissimilar areas from gossips surrounding lives of celebrities to market fluctuations at Wall Street.
With this brief explanation, it should not be unexpected to find anything in this weblog.
Well, may be this is enough for today. Let's see what comes next.

Five Iranian aides in the city of Arbil on northern Iraq were arrested yesterday, just hours after president bush addressed the nation on his new measures to confront escalating situation in Iraq.
In the mean time, in recent weeks, Media close to republican camp have excessively focused on the crisis in Middle East which has now spread from strip of Gaza to China’s border with Afghanistan.
We also heard bush’s decision to send more troops to Iraq and to stop helps allegedly from Iran and Syria.
All these events and happenings as well as news and articles being published by credible sources signal a very real threat and warning in the region. Four years after Iraq’s invasion, the problem in Middle-East is no longer limited to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or anti-western and anti-American menace led by Iran. It is now a very grave and unpredictable potentiality of war between different sectarian-aligned powers in Middle East, a completely devastating war.
Wall Street Journal portrayed such possibility in a thorough article published on 01-09-07, titled If Iraq Worsens, Allies See Nightmate Case .
I see the problem in the Middle East as a very real imminent danger which is a matter of important concern. If the world powers including the United States neglect to take necessary measure aimed at cooling down the problem, there could be severe consequences not only for people and states of Middle East but for the whole world.
Although the war in Iraq has gone wrong and you can hardly find anyone today who support the war and despite many people claim that they have been all against the war from the first day, I believe Bush’s decision to put more troops on the ground in Iraq is the only remaining option. I even think that it might lack enough strength required to affect the insurgency and violence in Iraq.
If we fail to stop the violence and growing hatred between people of different faiths and sects in Iraq, sooner or later, we might face something much worse in scale and depth.
