Leaving Pakistan - Returning to Sydney

This day, 15th March 2013 has come so fast when we have to fly back to Sydney. It just feels that we arrived in Pakistan only few days back (9th Feb 2013) and now that we are leaving tonight. It is always a sad time for me when leaving away from family, home. 

I have to do still a lot of things but time is so so short but still manage to write this post quickly. I will have to go now as need to meet few loved ones and do last few things/shopping before tonight. 

See you soon Sydney !

Bye Bye Lahore - Sahiwal - Pakistan !!

Today - at Pacific Highway+Walker St Signal

 

8:30am standing at the lights, waiting for green light to cross the road and reach office while typing these lines.

 

Today is the last working day for me before I go on leave and fly to Pakistan tomorrow. So I will be at the airport tomorrow this time and in Pakistan at night with the family. Nothing beats that feeling for me.

 

This always is a pleasant and fascinating thought for me that in a matter of only few hours a person is able to fly from one side of the world to another. Amazes me still despite the decades old science and technology. GOD I love this.

 

Tomorrow, I & Pakisan will be together. Yeeeha !

Pakistan - 2013 (published)

 

Another new year, another February and another Pakistan-yatra (trip to Pakistan).

 

Last year in Feb I travelled to my homeland (with family) when it was first visit of Musa. This time around he is Mashallah running and all talkative and has developed a bit of personality as well such as he knows what he wants to do and how he has to do it. It is great to see your little one learn and grow.

 

This time we are going to attend a family wedding there and that is why the excitement levels are pumped up and preparations have been done to match that event too i.e. special shopping, wedding dresses, suits, gifts, and etc etc. Looking forward to a fantastic time. Also another exciting (for me) thing is the car that my brother has bought, our first family car (in Pakistan). Allah ka laakh shukar. So this time I will be driving our own car and that means one less thing to worry i.e. transporting the family and self (not that I have to worry last time even). However only thing to worry is the shortage of fuel but will see.

 

Alright this time as well, as the tradition goes, I have plans to eat the local continental food there and list is not shorter than the list of last time, if not longer. I only have one wish is that I can manage time to tick all or most the items off that list :P I may sound greedy but I don't mind because I am, haha. All my hard work into getting fit by running (6 km in 35mins 3 times a week) and gym sessions at two different gyms) will go down the hose but I care NOT (while on this visit). Though I will have to restart the effort after I return back to Sydney, and that I will as I have to get fit and ready for the City2Surf. Enough time.

 

Only two more nights to sleep before the third one will be in Pakistan inshallah. I am as excited as a squirrel who has just spot a nut on a busy road, hehe.
