No doubt that Pakistan Army is a diverse institution & the institution owns me as much as any other officer. Not only Eid we also celebrated HOLI together & I recieved greetings and sweets from fellow officers to senior officials.
Sir was so kind to call me up for a picture!
At this point, I’m supremely thankful to my parents for putting strict curfews and not agreeing to any unsupervised activities well into my late teens. Their disciplined upbringing took me places of which I once dreamed of. Alhamdulillah.
As you grow up you realise that its only you and Allah, people are never going to appreciate what you have done for them, but Allah remembers and he loves you unconditionally.
Punjabi is suddenly the new cool now. I remember as a child when I spoke punjabi in front of non-punjabi class mates, I’d get called pendu. Apni zaban bolne se insecurity hoti thi.
Hun vekho, gaalaan vi punjabi ch te galaan vi punjabi ch, jerra pendu bole o sab to wadda dangar.
