“Sherlock Holmes, Ahmad Shah and our present and day”
Ahmad Shah, Shah Jawanmarg, after he was deposed from the kingdom of Iran (although he did not consider himself to be deposed), lived for more than four years and four months. He was a harmless young man and his wall was the shortest in the age of transition to modernity. When he was in Paris, he had a Rolls-Royce that he used to drive around the Champs Elysees. He himself used to tell a funny story about this car.
It was said that in one of the detective novels, a man was murdered and Sherlock Holmes was informed to discover the mystery of the murder. Sherlock examined the autopsy and said many things about the victim, including, “The victim was once a rich man, but he has not been well off for a few years, but he is not so broke that he needs his bread.” They asked Sherlock, how did he know this! He answers: “The clothes that the victim wears are for a famous tailor shop that only rich people can buy from, but the clothes are from a few years ago, and it is clear that the deceased can no longer afford to buy new clothes from there, but he is so broke.” It is not possible that he will sell the same clothes for his nightly bread.”
Ahmad Shah compared himself to that corpse and said: “This is the story of me and this Rolls-Royce. “Anyone who sees me with this Rolls-Royce will know that I was once rich enough to afford a Rolls-Royce, but since my Rolls-Royce is old, I obviously can’t afford a new model, but I’m not broke enough to sell it.”
But these days, most of us Iranians have become the same. We have become far from the life of you who are reading, like the murdered Mr. Sherlock Holmes story or our own Ahmad Shah. What Ahmad Shah said about himself, applies to all of us these days. When we see someone has a car, we know that he was once rich enough to buy a car! But he can no longer afford to change the same car (even if it is proud), but the fact that he has that car means that he is not broke enough to sell it because of the cost of maintaining the car and filling his empty pocket. I’m not talking about the other house, whose every square meter, just around the south of the city where I live, is the price of Rosler Roys Ahmad Shah! Of course, cars and houses and such luxurious and aristocratic things do not suit the vajanats of the lowly servant of Mirzabnavis; To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve had that Sherlock Holmes story even about something as trivial as cologne! I say to myself, once I was rich enough to buy a certain cologne, but I can no longer afford to buy its replacement, so I consume the rest of my cologne atom by atom.
This is why I say that we have become “Ahmedshahi Nation”. Of course, our similarities with Ahmad Khan are more than these. Like him, we have been exiled from Iran, of course, with the difference that, like Hazrat Ashraf, we cannot afford to live outside of Iran and buy plane tickets and such royal dreams. Be in front of the world. Another similarity between us and Ahmed is that he was deposed, just like us. Another similarity between us and him is that he was fond of that Rolls-Royce, each of us has been fond of the stuttering that is left for us and we are content to live in the phase of being deposed, exiled, and exiled. Long live the life of Ahmad Shahane!
