Re: Your feelings for Quaid day
No doubt Pakistan is going through a very rough patch, but that does not make me indifferent, quite the opposite. Just like you do not abandon your family in the hour of need, turning away from Pakistan at this point will be equally crucial. I do not feel patriotic on a given day more, but on days like this it definitely makes me stop and think.
Being away from Pakistan, how can I express the pride that I feel for it? No matter where we are, by being honest, hardworking and law abiding citizens we show the world the real face of a Pakistani. Pakistan has given me a leg up to where I am and what I am, it has given me my roots, my identity. No matter where I live now, that is always home for me, to truly belong to the soil is a gift. I will never take for granted the gift that Allah bestowed on us by making us all live, breathe n flourish in a free land. I will never take our independence for granted. May Allah keep our land and its independence safe. Ameen.
