Re: What You Miss Most About Pakistan

lol. ok np : )

SHOPPING, of course! :D the feeling of being among your own kind, the sound of azaan five times a day...

what i definitely don't miss are the house lizards and the dust...

Go ahead tell us all Fbi786.

I miss everyhting :crying:!

Hai hai aab kya karoo! Anyway as a brave soul i try not to show it in public or at college but at my flat i often sit there in tears.

All that i ever had i left in Pakistan. I do have some family here in the UK but they live far away from my college and i can only see them on weekends.:frowning:

I love Pakistan even though i almost died there a few years back.

I would like to think i could return there and live happily ever after but i don’t think i can.

I was meant to be the star of my village but now everyone there looks to me in pity becuase i am reduced to only a shadow.
I used to love life and lived happily with a wife, but she died. We were still so young.

Now as i struggle to educate myself i fear i may never show my face there again becuase i used to be such a cool man, i was the son of a Soldier and i held a commision, my Uncle was a civil engineer and we would happily live between Rawalpindi and our village.

Now though i am just a student…

i’ve failed horribly at being a Soldier, and i failed to be a husband and a decent father.

Truly i have little but an empty and over-decorated house to go back to, how can i go back and face my relatives and tell them i let them down!

I feel shattered, as i’m the middle of three brothers i’m surplus to requirments. My father hardly ever talks to me and my Mother want’s me to seek a new wife.

My only help is my elder brother who lives in London, i go occasionally to see him but he has his own family.

Though i have little to look forward to except another show at the Army i cannot help but miss the country in which i was born.

Oh the sunset of pakistan…
Oh the wail of the nightingale…
Oh the sight sight of the monsoon rain…
Oh how i miss the fairgrounds how we used to sing,dance and play fair game…

I miss the family love, the friends brothers and comrades who still remember me…
How i miss the faces of my fellow countrymen, how pleasant they once looked upon me.
I bemoan the hot summers we had without rain.
Here there is rain applenty so much it overflows every drain…

How i miss the Azzan’s call… forsaken namaz i’m doomed to fall…
No more sacred shrines to whom my prayers can call…

How i miss that Islamic republic of Pakistan.
Whose people love me, hate me, would even kill me, but still call me a fellow man.
For here in kaffir lands for wealth and money, education and all, i cannot find peace…

Until i’m back in Pakistan.

Love Allah, and love Rasoolallah more.

Think of me in your prayers, may he forgive us all. Wassalam.

I miss a lot of things but right now I am missing the dhain balaay from the bazaar and samosa chaat. It always gave me a funny tummy but it was worth it :cb:

Re: What You Miss Most About Pakistan

Being woken up in the middle of the night by donkey noises.
Dancing kusrehs.
The Sri Lankan cricket team.

the taanga rides and the rickshaw rides ... man they are hillarious !!

And I love islamabad's jinnah super and super and blue area .... and the masala wala french fries ... oooyee hoyee ...wah wah .. mouth watering !

Dude, your post just killed me with nostalgia, like James uncle said earlier. Sigh.

Hazargunji, Ziarat, Quetta :cryb:

Re: What You Miss Most About Pakistan

Being ambushed by beggars at the airport.
Waltzing maraasi at wedding functions.
Frolicking in the corn fields.
My daadi's mange (cow).

Paratha with malai and chini for breakfast!

Chilghoze

People having time for each other, but the last time I went back that had changed a lot. Satellite TV and rush-rush-rush were already changing that.

The sound of the azaan, when the muazzin is a good one. (There was one guy in Islamabad who was *painfully bad. I kept hoping someone would shoot out the masjid's speakers!)

*Dusk from the rooftop

Sleepy early morning crispness
