Life is Tough!
Most of you must have some idea what Baghdad was subjected to during the last invasion.
After April 9th, one telephone exchange remained functional in our side of town, so anybody who knew anybody in that area rushed to contact relatives and loved ones to let them know that they were ok.
This lady called her brother who was living well in a first-world country, and during the conversation she mildly reproached him for not calling when the phone lines were working during the early days of the war.
He said “I’m sorry dear, but I have been so busy. You have no idea how tough life is here!”
