The Word of mAn[S]o0r

After eight long months, we finally had a family dinner in karachi! The stars aligned and everyone was in the city for a mere 10 hours, so we decided to make the most of it. This is how it happened…
I live here, so my being here was inevitable. Even then, i returned to karachi from my weekend trip the same day mom and bhai arrived.

Mom came to get treated and to get some relief from the Islamabad cold. Living in a tropical city makes you not appreciate extreme weathers, so it got to her.

Bhai came with her, to spend his semester break. Most of his friends had taken off to their respective cities/towns/villages as well, so there was no reason to stay back. Thats the thing with Islamabad, as with america, there are no real islamabadi’s, everybody comes from somewhere else.

Dad had a offical meeting in here and flew in on wednesday night. He was originally scheduled for tuesday, but got delayed. Thankfully too due to the blast at the airport that day *shudder*.

Hence, on wednesday night, we all got together, and went to our favourite eating out place, Nandos, for dinner. It was fun! The leg pulling, the complaining to dad about my brother, mom as usual meeting her old friends (she always runs into people here), and dad recapping some old memory and explaining new things to us.

God! i miss those dinners!

Mom and bhai went back the next morning, dad is still here expected to leave tomorrow evening. After that, it will once again be me alone in this big bad city! Well.. umm.. not excatly, since my whole extended family+friend base is here, but still… its not the same without mom dad trying to contain me and bhai taking the car off stranding me.

Next up…… The mysterious powers of… HALDI!
