Hi, my name is Shiva. I am originally from Iran but have lived a greater part of my life in the UK. I came to this country in 1979. The main reason for me living in the UK is that I am a Baha’i. Members of the Baha’i faith started experiencing many difficuties at the start of the revolution in Iran. My parents decided that it was no longer safe for us to stay in Iran so we left the country and I have not been back ever since. I would however love to go back one day..
Life away from home was difficult at first, but with the help of a loving Baha’i community, we were able to adapt to this new environment very quickly and love living here. I am married and have three sons who were all born in the UK.
I have always loved to write but English is not my first language so this blog will be more of an experiment.
In one of his sketches, Omid Djalili, the famous Anglo-Iranian comedian said:
‘I thought I was saying what everyone else was thinking, until I said it, and then realised that no one is thinking what I am saying” or something like that.
My blog however is based on personal views, thoughts and observations of life which often change with new observations and experiances. It is not meant to be what everyone else is or is Not thinking. Others may agree or disagree.
As `Abdu’l-Bahá says:
“The shining spark of truth cometh forth only after the clash of differing opinions.”
