Real Story 1
Living abroad ( in the western county), Christmas and Halloween always excite my kids as they see lots of decorations and festivities around...

| Real Story Of My Life |
So I do allow them to be part of that to a certain extent but always insisted that these are not our festivals...
So I tried to make Ramadan festive for them by putting on some decor...
I made a good deeds tree where they put their good deed for the day...
I have promised them a reward if I see 30 good deed tags at the month-end...
When I distributed iftar in our neighborhood, I involved my girls so they know that this is how we celebrate our festive month and our festivals...
People who don't know... I always wanted to have an arranged marriage and when the proposal phase started... I literally cursed myself on my decision...when I almost gave up on marriage... I got this proposal... I wasn't sure whether I want to marry him or whether I wanted to get married at all... It supposed to be a roka with few family members... I don't know from nowhere my family decided to have this ceremony in a banquet hall... And they booked it before I could process this news.
The engagement was not at all a plan of this ceremony but since things were escalated so soon. Both families decided to have an engagement ceremony instead of Roka...
For some reason, I've decided not to talk to the guy before rasam... Another bad decision
Confused, intrigued, shy, reluctant, puzzled... Absolutely in a horrible state of mind I was walking towards the stage meeting this guy for the first time.
He offered his hand to pull me up... Being a tomboy I never took anyone's hand for help...
But the moment he held my hand a sudden spark in my heart gave me a sense of security... How a stranger can give you such security after just holding your hand... It is that moment

Real Story 3
So today I was packing my stuff and found my degree. This of course calls for an appreciation post for my university, for my hospital!
I graduated from Aga khan university hospitals school of nursing in 2017. I loved working as a nurse but never enjoyed working as a nurse back at home, where people still have such a mindset that can never let a nurse feel good enough or maybe competent enough. They still stigmatize this noble profession.
Anyhow, I’m an intensive care unit nurse and ICU is something that I love. This is The only thing I cannot trade; even with any other highest-paying job. Working in ICU was like my dream and I enjoyed every single day working there. After approx 2 years of ICU, I thought of moving to the UK for my job. Now getting into ICU here especially if u belong from a developing country is tough. I was asked to give a math test and some interviews to prove my competency. I cleared all of it and then finally moved to Cambridge and everything is so different here especially nursing. Here people have so much respect for the nurses that sometimes is just a part of the team makes me happy!!
Sometimes it's really difficult to accept the fact that from a competent ICU nurse in my hospital, I became a novice nurse in a different country where I literally have no one back from home. But sometimes this is what excites me...
Here while I introduce myself, most of the people are like ‘oh you’re the first from Pakistan here, we never had nurses from Pakistan’ many would question how did you even lend directly to ICU.. but I think the way you work and look after your patient tells a lot about what kind of a nurse you’re.
Today I feel so proud of my Alma mater for making me what I am.
