There’s no rooz like Norooz!

Norooz (Persian: New day) 1391 is here.

Is your haft seen set?

Do you have on some new clothes?

Are you getting ready to meet up with your family, eat some food–probably sabzi polo and mahi (rice with greens/herbs and fish)–have a good time, laugh it out with your kin, and collect some money from your elders?

If so, you’re on the right track.

This year’s Persian new year, Norooz, falls on March 20th at 1:11 AM Washington DC time.

Norooz shaad (Persian: happy)!
