Happy new year! Is this for Iran only, or a Muslim event? Just wondering so I can surprise my Bangladeshi office mate in two days time if it's for all Muslims, by wishing him a happy new year :cool:

Happy New Year Just curious. Does the day have a name in Iranian ? " Invading armies can be stopped but nothing can stop an idea whose time has come " - Voltaire

Two sets of people will be celebrating - Irish and Iranian.

Hmm, so if I have a cat who's part Persian, I should wish him a happy new year? :-D Remember, even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

Happy new year, and may everyone grow closer together :love: Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

[Navin]

However, I think we have a pretty good idea as to which set of people is going to do the drinking. :-D Remember, even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

Hey, good to see you. About our conevsrsation about Iran and Persia, you were right. Iran is the new name for Persia from about 100 years. :-) Mazy "Man is different from animals in that he speculates, a high risk activity." - Edward Hoagland

What is the starting point for the calendar? The birth/death of Mohammed? A decree by a Persian king? A major battle or celestial event? Whatever the source, Happy New Year!:-D Will Build Nuclear Missile For Food - No Target Too Small
