1402 is the new year of Afghan people. And in the culture of Afghan people, it is called Nowruz. The celebration of Nowruz is one of the oldest cultures of the Afghan people. The beginning of the spring season and the month of April is called Nowruz, meaning a new beginning and the rebirth of nature, the regrowth of flowers and trees, and the greening of the earth. On this day, the culture of Afghan people is such that they go to recreational and green places, including the green provinces of Afghanistan, such as Balkh and Parwan. And in this Nowruz celebration, Afghan women cook a special food called Samnak, which all the women get together and cook, and Afghan women sing and celebrate with a special song, dance and rejoice. And one of the other customs and traditions of the Afghan people in Nowruz is the Haft Sin table and preparing (seven fruits) that 7 types of dry fruits produced in Afghanistan are thrown into the water and left in the water for a day to be prepared and on the New Year's Day They bring it to the guests.     And their other culture on this day. Daughters who are married, her husband's family bring people for Nowruz (in the vernacular), which includes Cooked fish, jalebi, and dried fruit are gifts for the girl, and the husband brings them to his wife with the instruments and songs of the family, and they dance and stomp their feet. And this is the culture of Nowruz among the people of Afghanistan.     But with the coming of the Taliban, our culture was banned and they banned celebrating on this day.
     Do you like this Afghan culture?
     My suggestion to you is that if one day there is peace and tranquility in Afghanistan, you must visit this beautiful culture of Afghanistan and the green provinces of Afghanistan.
     The arrival of the new year always promises new thoughts.     New deeds and new decisions are for the future.     The future we all hope will be better than the past.     In the new year, I wish you 365 days of health, happiness, victory, affection, friendship and love.

 Happy New Year (Nowruz) to everyone .
