Let me see if I can reply in 12 minutes or not 
Shikra bro thanks for this detailed reply, was a nice read 
You are welcome
lemi reply to some of your points…
You know what, I was thinking the same thing last night. I was thinking how interesting life can be sometimes and it’s a good thing we don’t know what’s gonna happen in the future because if we did, we’ll spend all the time worrying about what to do about the upcoming events in our lives.
lekin atleast there’s no unsurity…unsurity can be so scary…and we worry abt the future anyway, even if we dont know whats gona happen…or atleast i do…but then again i am a worry wart so maybe its jus me … hmmm
Well, you are right too. I am the type of a person who plans ahead. I know what I will be doing exactly one week from now, one month from now and so on, but in addition to our plans, we have to add this one word: Inshallah. That’s because no matter how well we plan, whether we know what’s coming or not, it may change with Allah’s wish aur hamari saari planning par paani phir jaye.
I was born in a small village, never knew I would grow up in a city.
good for u… u shud always be proud of ur strong cultural roots mashallah…im sure no matter what, nothing will erase that from ur identity and outlook in life…
Yes, I am very proud of that. I have something that a lot of people lack and wish to have it. I’ve seen village life, I used to go there every year for summer vacation and I know a lot of people who really wish to go to a village once and I am very lucky that I was born there and lived there for a while.
I grew up in a city, never knew I wouldn’t enjoy my college life here.
hmm…why do u say u dont enjoy ur college life? i know i think that too sometimes when i look at the college life my friends spent in pak..the halla gulla…lekin i think college life in the us is also very very good..and gives us a great experience…plus kuch panay k lyay kuch khona parta hae innit…and many ppl would give anything to be in your position of being in the us..
Well, I enjoy my university life here as well, but it’s not the same. I had my friends in Pakistan and I had to leave them behind when I moved here. Now this is my country, this is my life, this is where I have to live, and this is where I have to die.
I moved to US and wanted to be a doctor, never know I would end up doing an MBA.
me too i always thought id study medicine…engineer k naam se mujhay chirh thee, k nerds machinon k saath kaam karnay walay…and guess what i am now haha .. an engineer! lekin khayr hae
im sure MBA willl also turn out to be good for u inshallah
Thanks for wishing me and I hope you succeed in your grad school as well
I had not seen one computer in Pakistan, never knew I would ever be this good at computers.
hehehehehhe
reminds me of myself when i came to usa and i went to my prof and told him i dont know anything abt computers and he was like dont worry we’ll teach u…
khair i am not good at computers now either :-p
I am not saying that I am an expert hacker or anything, but guzaara ho raha hai. Aap ab nakhrey kar rahi hain, engineering ki degree ley lee aur abhi takk not good at them? 
I was a very shareef bacha in Pakistan, never knew so many girls will come in my life.
i was a very shareef kurri too…im not as shareef as i was before and i feel sad abt that…but i still think i am shareef…i think :S and i hope inshallah that never changes aameen sum aameen
i am sure u r shareef too…bas apni flirt kkarnay wali harkatein chor do :-p
Well, I don’t believe in apni tareef aap. I am not saying that are doing it :-p but…I am calling myself not so shareef in a sense because now I openly talk to girls, although this is for homework reasons or any other reasons, but I guess that’s ok in today’s world :-s
I was willing to do an arranged marriage, never knew I would end up not liking arranged marriages.
hmmmm y?
khair, i dono abt myself…what i think abt this issue…being a paki girl its not easy to say “i dont believe in arranged marriages” coz i am not ready either to mix freely with guys which one shud if they want to have a non-arranged marriage…so part of me does and part of me doesnt want an arranged marriage…and i just think, jo ho ga dekha jayay ga, Allah behtri karay ga…aameen
Well that’s because I guess I am becoming more liberal day by day. I’ve been here for 7+ years and still have about 2-3 years before I get married. I guess by looking at the culture here and how you have to “spend time” with your future wife, I guess it would feel weird if my parents chose my cousin from Pakistan that I haven’t spoken to in 10 years. :-s That’s why, I would prefer that I marry someone I like and know a little bit about. Although sometimes it takes you the whole life to know a person and you still don’t know about that person :-s
I used to ride a bicycle in Pakistan, never knew I would be an expert in driving a car.
i learnt how to drive a bicycle at age 16! my dad taught me..coz in the i was gona go to, they said u shud know how to ride a bike to get around on campus..
ab i drive a car boht darr darr k !! 
inshallah i hope wen i get more practice mera darr khatam ho jayay
OH GOD! Pakistan ki traffic!!!
I used to not like pant shirt, never knew I would start not liking shalwar kameez.
heyy come on now, baaki sab theek tha, lekin is baat se mujhay aiteraz hae..sahi hae, pant shirt bhee theek hae, lekin u must not dislike shalwaar kameez
Well, I think I used a very strong word. I don’t hate shalwar kameez, but I just prefer pant shirt now. I do wear shalwar kameez sometimes for jumma’s prayer, eid, and other occasions such as International Night etc. but I feel more comfortable in American clothes now. I guess people change and their preferences change as I was told in the other thread of mine :-p
I used to speak Punjabi or Urdu, never knew I would feel comfortable speaking english.
well u still speak fluent punjabi and urdu mashallah..i dont think thats gona change…and yeah i also had no idea i would ever be so comfy with angrayzee..!!
That’s right, I don’t think I’ll ever forget to speak/read/write Urdu or Punjabi and I would teach my kids urdu as well because you never know when they’ll need it.
I had always thought of working after I finished my studies, never knew I would be a working student.
me too! aur ab grad school k doraan pata nai kon se papar belne parein ge muj kko!!
All the best :k:
And there are A LOT OF other things that came up unexpected but everything happens for good, I am thankful to Allah and glad for what has been written in my fate.
mashallah..thats the right attitude
Allah wahi karey jo hamari qismat mein behtar hai, Aameen.
p.s. Mission accomplished, took me EXACTLY 12 minutes to finish this 
…
…ok maybe not 
bas Allah hi Maalik hae
maybe u just view things differently tho…
