Beautiful and breathtaking.

But I have a complaint though:
For heaven sake stop calling The Great Mowlana "Rumi" he never had anything to do with "Rum" where ever that is.
Calling Mowlana Jalaladind Mowlavi "Rumi" is equivalent of calling Persian Gulf arabian Gulf. No matter how naive it sounds I personally believe it is a serious conspiracy being plotted by certain nations to vandalize Iranian heritage and history and steal credit just like what Turkey is trying to do in Mowlana's acse. We must be vigilant.
There are 3 acceptable way of addressing the Great Iranian Poet & Philosopher:
1- Mowlana (very common for daily casual address)
2- Mowlavi (2nd very common)
3- Mowlana Jalalaldin Mowlavi Balkhi (official name, even though I like it without Balkhi).
