'Nowruz, which means "new day," marks the joyous arrival of spring, coinciding
precisely with the vernal equinox. On this day, the Earth's tilt brings equal
measures of daylight and darkness, symbolizing a fresh start. Celebrated across
Afghanistan, Iran, and Central Asia, Nowruz signifies a time of balance after
the winter's chill. A traditional greeting embodies this spirit: "May your
every day be like Nowruz, and may your Nowruz be victorious." The exact origin
of this greeting remains unclear. However, Nowruz itself has persevered through
centuries.
It is in northern Afghanistan that Nowruz was celebrated more vibrantly than
anywhere else. If you travelled a bit further from the city hustle and closer
to the villages and valleys, you'd experience a different Nowroz and spring.
That can be seen in our rural area. A group of young girls would dedicate a
week to collecting food supplies from houses. I was eight years old the first
time I witnessed the organization of "
mela Nowruz" [the word mela is derived
from Sanskrit meaning festival or fair].'
