World Last Minute Errand Day leads today's complete edition for Iran.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the thing remembered at the door, bought before closing, delivered before supper, or rescued just in time.
The first day of the Iranian school year is September 23rd (1st of Mehr), and every child in Iran remembers it. The uniform is white shirt and dark pants. The flowers are handed to the teachers. The parents stand at the gate. The smell of new textbooks and fresh bread from the nearby bakery mixes in the morning air. The children are nervous, the mothers are tearful, and the teachers are resigned. The first day is ceremonial, the second day is real, and by the third day, the children have already learned which teacher to fear.
A day for clearing the surface, finding the note, opening the notebook, and giving the workday a better beginning.
A day for washing the thing people refill every day and forget to clean often enough.
