Today marks the first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere. It's celebrated as Noruz, or New Day, in my Persian culture and many more around the world. On this day, at approximately 3:33pm in the UK, the sun's centre passes across the Equator. My parents prepared a meal of Sabzi polo (herby rice) and Mahi (fish, or in my case, fishless fingers), plus plain rice and ghaymeh badenjan (aubergine and yellow split pea stew). May this New Year be filled with new beginnings, possibilities and adventures. Saleh nu Mubarak (Happy NY)!
