Life, As I Never Knew It.

I don't know where to start from. The story I had just become of my life. The story, I so wanted to be the part of is finally having me in it's arena. One story mingled in another. And I mingling in them with the flow so strong. That in short, there are so many stories I have become a vital part of in this extremely minute period of what they call, pitiless 'Time'. 
So dreaming of being a part of this world and praying to God every day and night for it, I finally got where I always wanted to be. University of Arkansas, United States of America. 

  
This is the Oldest Building of what I call my home now.


And this is my college where I study, for now.

The night I boarded on my flight, I was full of dreams. My heart was satisfied and my mind was eager to experience life I desperately wanted to be a part of. But somewhere deep, i left a part of mine back at home. Back in my country. To some people I love and I can't imagine living without. I didn't realize it then but realized it now that there's no adventure as happy as it is to experience with someone you call your family. I miss my brothers. I miss parents. I miss everyone and I miss you. I miss being here sometimes cause the life has taken such a fast pace now that I find myself panting most of the times when I reach a speed-breaker. 
The night I reached here, after boarding my flight from Washington D.C (for an orientation, I was there) via Della, Texas to finally Fayetteville, Arkansas, I was in despair. Deep despair. Cause I was so used to be dependent on people, dependent on everyone around and all of a sudden, I was seeing myself carrying my 48kgs of suticase, along with 30kgs of carry on, My bag pack weighing 15kgs and my coat of at least 1kgs. I was a mess and on the naked verge of tears. I was alone and I was lost. I didn't know where to get taxi from and where to go to finally reach my home, my bed and go to sleep after staying awake for 45hours outta 48.
But the moment I looked around, the moment I went out, I think, i saw one of the most beautiful sights. Its was night though but i could easily make out the trees coming in the way, the ascend and descend of roads, the cold and everything around seemed nature that I was helpless to find way back home. That was one of the first things that brought me hope, that made me believe that I can survive here in this place alone till May on my own.  The place Fayetteville may seem small as country yard, but in real it's beauty is uncomprehending. I love the peace here, the lack of honks of horns all the time and the serenity of people with which they welcome you. I am here since 7th of January and experiencing so many new things. Like I said I have so many stories I have and I want to write but i don't get enough time. For now, it's 12 in the night here and yes we are 11hours back from Pakistan, which is my home country. 
I have to leave and do my homework that is to read this novel called 'Thier Eyes Were Watching God' by some Zora blah blah. I promise I will write more here. About my every damn experience. About everything. Trust me, I will. Just come back soon.

P.s: Tell me a good movie. Please. And watch the trailer of 'The Vow' and 'Avengers'. I am in love with them.

  14. Lucky fellow. Its my dream to study in US. I missed. I got admission too but I cudnt take that step ahead. Its not money but something else.
    And I remember my first business visit to America. I was sitting in a lavish apartment all alone and burst out in tears.
    It was a 5month trip. On my last day, I wanted to have an extension :)
    US is a just a great place. You will enjoy every moment of it.
    Good Luck!!! And by the way, write more! I will surely watch this blog coz I wish to read the experiences of Indian/Pakistani students in America...
