All poets like Rumi , Omar Khayam come from there lol , hard to belive but its true . Sohrab came from some province in central Afghanistan. lol.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sohrab. That province was famed for lots of Buddhist monastries ,hence the inspiration and influence.
I can understand Dari (Pure Persian) but Farsi accent is very thick , lots of oos , they dont say Jaan , they say Joon , Tu becomes To . Interestingly a native dari speaker can understand Farsi but the converse isnt true lol. Im not a native speaker but I understand basic persian (dari)
Well yeah versace mens suitings are really bad ass ,the quality is impecable . Versace girls are always HOT , super HOT , her girls always look like sexy sirens .I mean given donnatella is a drug addict, she comes up with sleek designs , i wonder how she does it.

But your still similar in tone to bikram singh lol. YOU KNOW ITS TRUE .
So this is where we differ!
As you know, "Ab" means "Water" in Persian/Dari... In Kurdish, that is "Av"/"Aw"... So çi "Sohrab" çi "Sorav"... Same thing... The Persian/Dari version would be "Sorxâb" (for "Red Water"). And the story of Sohrabê Rostemê Zal is a myth - probably based on some real life story, which then gathered popular interest - and the details of this story will vary from Tajikistan to Kurdistan... There is no concrete and one-sided proof that Rumi or Sohrab were from Afghanistan...
I'm from Iranian Kurdistan - and my father named me what he named me because it's just as much a Kurdish name as any other - and it carries a meaning in Kurdish - if not two...Although my speech isn't a brag - I do comprehend most of it and can make myself undstood in Persian... I've seen from Persian sources that it means "Rosy Glow" or "Glittering..." etc. - but never that it means "Devine" or "Compassionate" - which are beautiful meanings too... Thank you for the info, anyway And that was in Vedic Indo-Aryan?
I see you don't pay much attention to details bira... I said "Zorav" without an "h"... And the same for "Sorav"... And when it comes to what you've written as "Sharab" in Kurdish that is "Şerav"/"Şeraw" = War Water... Naturally that's what it's called since alchohol was used by warriors in ancient times (and some places till only some centuries ago) to boost moral...
Remember bira, there isn't one but several versions of matters - and especially in cases like these (linguistics, history & culture) where you'll find each ethnic group holds a different point of view...
From a Persian point of view, Sohrab is a Persian name... But likewise, the Turkmen of Turkmenistan use the name "Soxrab" and will say it's a Turkmen name... So it's not that I dispute the name's origins, but rather the idea that there is one single truth about it...
Thanks for the compliments - but I still disagree... Although I do understand and agree that from my old avatar, I did resemble him a little...
You look like Sharukh Khan, by the way... ( )
