Meaning
The usual sequence of activities performed each day.
Cultural Background
The 'revāl' of many Iranians includes 'Chāyi' (tea) multiple times a day. It's not just a drink; it's a structural break in the day. In Tehran, the 'revāl' is heavily dictated by traffic (terāfik). People plan their entire routine around avoiding peak hours. The concept of 'Siesta' or a mid-day nap is part of the 'revāl' in hotter provinces like Khuzestan or Yazd. Younger Iranians are obsessed with 'Self-care' routines, often using the English word 'routine' but following the Persian 'revāl' structure.
