I'm Wondering if it's Funny or a Disaster!!!!!!!???
It's Nowruz holidays in Iran. Many people go out to visit their relatives, take a vocation abroad or enjoy traveling inside of the country. Therefore, there are no professional doctors at hospitals. And you can't find them even at their office. We have the same scenario with the police force, and other people who have important jobs in society. That's why most cities in Iran turn into ghost towns with all inhabitants have gone on a holidays. If someone gets any kinds of disease, they should make a reservation for the cemetery in advance because they might pass away during Nowruz holidays, and the most important reason is that no one is out there to help them or treat them. A few hours ago, a funny story happened that proves all that I said previously.
My aunt came here with her two children to stay with us for Nowruz holidays. A few hours ago, when we were watching TV and talking to each other, we heard a huge sound in our yard and then someone entered our house. I didn't know what was happening for a while. He stumbled and fell on the floor while he was bleeding. At first, I thought one of our acquaintances or relatives came in but when I saw my father pushing him to go out, I noticed he was neither our friends nor our relatives. I was trembling and didn't know what to do. My mother called police immediately. The guy was begging my father to stay for a while and told him that some people were looking for him, chasing him and assaulted him with knives. Our carpets and parquets were bloody as well as my father's shirt. He didn't go out, even though my father forced him to go out. Hopefully, as soon as he realized that the police was coming, he fled away. Three hours have already passed but the police haven't come yet. I even called them again and one of the police officers said that they were on the way to your home and supposedly so close to you home. I'm wondering why they haven't arrived yet after almost three hours. :D One question strikes me "what would police do, if some hooligans attacked someone or threatened him with knives and he needed their immediate help?" That person would die, if they arrived. They are as slow as a dead snail. I hope no one needs any kinds of assistance during the New Year holidays. However, there is no huge differences between this part of the year and the rest of it. In other words, no matter whether it's Nowruz or not, most services in Iran are like that, TOO SLOW. You will get their help when you no longer need them. :)
