"13 be dar"
The first day of Persian new year is called "Nowrooz" .
Nowrooz = now + rooz. In Persian, "Now" and "Rooz" mean "New" and "day" respectively. Nowrooz is celebrated for 13 days by very interesting traditions that I don't express them here because they need to very much explanations and may be prolongated and also exhausting to you. 21th March has been named as "International day of Nowrooz" in UN's calendar.
Nowrooz celebrations are ended by "13 be dar" festival during which people spend time picnicking outdoors usually with their families(parents), from morning til evening. "13 be dar" literally means "13th in outdoors".
Today is "13 be dar" and all households have gone out and picnicking but I'm alone at home and it's so dreadful.
I wish I could drive the sun down.

Oh, but you said you were alone at home. Didn't you want to go picnicking with your family?

Of course I have :)
In the last paragraph, where I said "all households have gone out picnicking" I meant my own family. :D
My poor English ;)

Don't you have a family to go out picnicking with?
