Leaving for Pakistan...My apologies for not updating the blog as frequently as I used to. Many reasons... for later :-)
So finally it was 8th of April 2005, my first ever trip to Pakistan. I took GulfAir from Heathrow to Abu Dhabi and from there to Karachi. As soon as I landed at Karachi, I didnt feel anything different. Same people almost same language, same weather, same clothes. It took me half an hour or so to go through the immigration process. I was asked to go and report to Chundrigar Road office of internal affairs in next 24 hours since I hold an Indian passport. My luggage was already there waiting for me. I picked up my luggage and came out. I was scanning the whole airport for a face. Face so near to my heart. Someone I talked to, listened to, loved, missed, imagined for exactly four months, but being away a few thousands miles. Now was to time to meet her again.
I couldnt see her anywhere. I was a bit worried but then I thought may be her flight didnt reach on time. After a few minutes I saw someone in white shalwar kameez, white dupatta, silver jewellery, white sandals, looking beautiful than ever before, looking for someone. I let her look around, then slowly I went behind her and whispered in her ear. Hello. The look and expressions on her face cannot be described. No matter how much I try to write.
The four boring, lonely, stressful months of not being together vanished in a moment. We were together again.
