Patients in Ibn Sina Hospital in Mosul and death of my colleague

Who said studying medicine is easy? Oh it is very hard, when I see those patients in the Ibn Sina Hospital in Mosul and what they suffer from, I feel so sorry for them, Its this health that they lost, which is the most important thing we own. Most of the patients in Ibn Sina Hospital are from low social state, they need special care and attention, and as I study there I always see new faces comes in and I have seen more than 3 patients died in front of me, but nothing I can do I am still a student (but more than half a doctor).

To you Israa , Allah 

A couple weeks ago a colleague of me (Israa) died when she had a terrible accident, she was full of energy and just like a flower in spring, but she died and I cried and cried. It is not easy to accept death of someone you know whether she/he was close to you or not, it reminds me of death and that one day I will die and this makes me want to cry but my faith in Allah brings me back to life again and remind me to work hard and to keep on my praying five times per day and to commit to Allah orders.

I will always remember you Israa (Allah mercy for her)

Seeking for inner peace in Mosul City, But Where ?

Iraq is big prison and I can't wait till I escape from it!! This is totally right and I am feeling of tightness and freedom-less with little (if any) human rights. Every thing disturbs me, from the traffic jam to kidnapping gangs. Especially Mosul city, they are trying to keep people of Mosul city busy with providing enough Gasoline and kerosene in this cold winter.

To make people unable to think what is going on in this City, we are tired of the blocked streets,

What is Halloween?! Is your Halloween custom weird? To many people in different countries Halloween is something weird, and these pumkin that people put on their doors, and those kids wearing freaky clothes asking for candies!
I googled (Halloween) and got more in depth about this annual holiday on October 31, Halloween also includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. The word 'halloween' mean in Old Irish (summer's end).

Halloween pumkin called jack-o'-lanterns 

In this day Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" refers to a (mostly idle) "threat" to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.

Cup of Iraqi tea in summer day[Iraqi tea] [make Iraqi tea]

Cup of Tea has great effects on way of living, decrease stress, relieve headache, full of caffeine!. Iraqi people drinks lots of tea per day especially old men who meet in shops to chat and drink tea and play backgammon or domino game. Iraqi tea is great and Iraqi people always drink black tea, some old people drinks sugar free tea but the most drinks cup of tea with sugar, most popular tea here in Iraq is that from Ceylon (ceylon tea) it has the greatest taste and makes my mood relax and happy.
