What an emotional day this has been! I voted for the first time in the American Presidential election and I am writing this post with tears in my eyes. I am proud to be an Iranian-American, proud to be a part of such a historical election and proud of this country.

A friend forwarded me a song that an Iranian composer, Farshid Amin, has writen called "change," which was performed at a gala for Barack Obama two weeks ago. Lionel Richie and The Pointer Sisters also submitted songs, but Farshid's was chosen . He has been invited to perform the song on election night at the Democratic Victory Gala in Orange County.  He is the first Iranian singer ever to perform on election night.

Please watch the clip. Here's hoping for positive change not just in America, but for the whole world.
