Sleeping in a grave-size space, defined by two walls touching both my head my and feet, and surrounded with human bodies touching me from both sides, in a way that hardly leaves any chance to move at all during the long… long night, in a 12 square meters room stuffed with 35 people trying to sleep, and to hold themselves together in order not to fight…The whole thing started when I went to the

I was sleeping, relaxfuly (is there such a word?) in my bed in Amman, when mUm woke me up and told me that someone broke into our house in Baghdad. I wanted to go back to Baghdad as soon as possible, so I thought that this would be the best God-given excuse. Conveniently, dad came just minutes after, and told me the story again, and asked me: would you like to go to Baghdad? I am sending water

You know what you really need to do?go check mom's blog, and see if her last post is translated yet or not, and if it wasn't, check again later, and later, and later until you find the translation, and when you do, you read it, and then read it again, and then read it another time, and then forward it to your friends, and print a copy and let your family read it, and make another copy and hang it

Since we are in the imaginary blog sphere, where we all have imaginary friends that we care about although we are not sure they exist, i can't understand why do we have to be anonymous? we can use any nick names if not our real names just to keep everything transparent, everyone has the right to say his opinion, why hide?so from now no you need to be a blogger to comment, how do you become a

I got home yesterday to find that a car-bomb exploded just couple of hours before, about 100 meter away only from our house.I entered the house and saw the pieces of glass and decorations on the ground..."Not again!" I told myself.I checked on the neighbors to see if they all were alright, and then went to the explosion site, in front of one of the most poplar markets in the area, one Iraqi woman

i openned the comments section, but i found that Raed's way is very good: he never reads the comments, so i will do the same, i will just check if there is "spam" or adds etc, from time to time.i hope this works well...:)khalid*--Khalid Jarrarsecretsinbaghdad.blogspot.com

I have been really busy the last two days. The brother of my friend F was killed. He had just opened his own restaurant, a small one, and he was there with many members of his family, his son and many cousins. Then three car loads of men stopped, and they wanted to kidnap him. When they couldn't they shot him, right in front of his 15 years old son, who threw a chair on them trying to defend his
