I had this text file saved on my desktop for 3 months, looking for a free time to blog and show you this funny thing. This has happened during Norouz (Persian New Year) holidays when I was doing something in one of our routers:

core-bb1#

***
***
*** Message from tty227 to all terminals:
***
Happy New Year!

core-bb1#
core-bb1#conf te
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
core-bb1(config)#n

***
***
*** Message from tty227 to all terminals:
***
Baba to Eidam ro routeri!

core-bb1(config)#^Z

A friend of mine has spotted me logged into a router while everyone else was in hurry to get ready for new year. Kinda cool! It was the best HNY message I’ve received during Norouz. :-)

Update: If that message looks non-sense to you, its because the message is in persian. It reads “You are in router, even on Norooz holiday!”.
