After a gap of 12 years, i’ll finally be flying today!
Yup! thats right! by the time this post appears, i’ll be (inshallah) high above the clouds on my way to Islamabad. I plan to spend Eid with my family, and am really looking forward to it. Woo hoo!!
Dont get me wrong, its not like i havent been outside the city. On average, i get out every four years.. (all the 3 outtings have been in the last 4 waise), but its mostly been through trains or *gulp* busses! Can u believe, last year, i travelled the whole 1600 KM from khi to Isb by Bus! That was one HELL of a 28 hour trip!
In retrospect, i finally figured out what its like for people who work away from their families, The aana-jaana which they must endure so as to spend some time with them, how critical the telephone becomes to their lives, and how much pleasure can a simple photograph (mms?) can give them! Its true what they say… you can never understand the real meaning of life, unless you live through its differing colors. Coming back… to what its like, its both tough, yet liberating. Its care-free yet stressful, its fun, yet exremely boring. And i say that when i’m not even married! Uss kay baad kya haal hoga mera? who knows…?
