True, A pledge is a solemn "promise" to another individual to "do something". Thus, undertaking the task "promised"
I hope that makes sense. :)
The Novruz, also spelled Nowruz, is a national, international and ethnic holiday. The holiday is celebrated by people mostly living on the Eurasian continent. Countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Syria, Turkey, Georgia, Albania, Iraq, Russia, and Uzbekistan all have a significant population that celebrate Novruz. Novruz is celebrated annually on March 19, 20, or 21. This day marks the Spring Equinox- the day when the equator passes through the Sun’s center. This occurrence marks the beginning of the Iranian New Year (the first day of the first month Farvardin). Novruz has an Iranian origin rooted in the Zoroastrian religion.
According to the epic poem Shahnameh, Novruz was founded by the Iranian king Jamshid who saves all living things from a deadly winter. Novruz customs include cleaning the home, wearing your best clothing, buying clothes for the new year, gathering around the Haft sin table to eat, and Amu Nowruz bringing gifts for children.

Introverts often have a small group of close friends. To those who know them, they’re often great listeners, can give thoughtful advice, and are extremely empathetic. A person who is severely shy may find it difficult to form close friendships like that, and can remain feeling awkward even around family and people they have known for their entire lives. An introvert can be fine with someone approaching them and beginning a conversation, but to someone who’s shy, that can be just as terrifying as the thought of starting a conversation themselves.
A big difference between the two is how the person feels about their lack of social interaction or desire for constant companionship. An introvert is fine with it: They really, really are. To an introvert, it’s not a problem to be alone with their thoughts or to have a quiet dinner with one or two close friends. For someone who’s shy, though, they tend to wish that it just wasn’t the case. They are the ones that long for a big group of friends, but just can’t bring themselves to reach out and put themselves into that situation.
