I'm still young twenty something to be honest.
However i have known much of life becuase,I was born in Pakistan, I joined army at 15, i was married at 18.Got my commision at 20, then i left to England immediately after.
So life for me has been short but prolific. I remember one thing most vivdly.
My homeland and the people who i knew all my life.
In particular i regret ever leaving my beatifull country becuase i lost much to gain little. I have travelld the world and saw things few men can ever wonder about but what hurts me is the loss of my homeland.
I cannot return till my education is complete. Even then i will never see the valley in which i was born because as i speak it is being built up like no tommorow.
For a man who's ancestors were Nomads it pains me to know there will be no more rolling fields, no more crops, no more grazing land for my stock, no more horses or cattle or goats. Oh how i wail in sadness at losing my home! I have a house in islamabad five years ago it bordered lush jungles. Now it will have an airport next to it.
I know they say it is for the good of my country but it still pains me to know that it is the end of an era. Must i move away to the plains in the north? And how long before some interfering government of mans law comes to tell me i will have to move again!
oh well i can only look forward to a sedentary life. No more wildness.:(
