And it begins....
Since this is a new Blog…allow me to introduce myself.
My friends call me Betty, my family has a variety of names for me, all of which I PREFER not to list!
I used to be a lot of things, all of which I gave up to become the Batool that I am today. Some might say it wasn’t a bad decision…time, I am sure will reveal all in good time.
Islamabad is my home, Lahore is where I was born. Now that I have lived here for over five months, I know September must have been hot!
I have traveled some, I hope to travel more.
These days I am residing in civil services academy, CSA as we call it. My life is dominated by my endless assignments and tasteless presentations. I share a room with one of my colleagues from DMG, a wonderful girl Sherin. We have common interests such a as sleep, movies and Jensen Ross Ackles ( man! he's cute!)
I must mention a very important man in my life, one that has dominated every waking minute of my existence, and occasionally creeps into my sleep as well. It can’t be anyone else, other than the worthy Director General of CSA, Lt. General Shami.
I've so far completed two of the requisite four terms and my Third term has started. These days we're studying Public Policy as a subject which happens to be quite interesting. It derives it roots from various disciplines including Philosophy and Sociology.
CSA has become a home to me though I do miss my life back in Islamabad. I miss my family and my friends. I miss my walks with sana and lunches with Saddy and Nubla. I miss the soulful conversations with Saniya. I miss ami! I even miss my cat Taro and most of all I miss Shan!
I was in Islamabad for a week and it rained there. God! I miss the rains.
But i have had the opportunity to travel the length and breadth of Pakistan, all the way to Indian border in kashmir and Afghan Border in NWFP. During my military attachment, (yes! i was a captain the army for three weeks. yeeeeeeehaaaaa!) i rode on a tank, learnt to fire a G3A3 and cruised the arabian sea on a Naval battle ship. (how cool is that!).
And I am playing Tennis and Squash now!!!
so for those of you who have known me for a while...you will agree how drastically my life has changed...
and maybe the change doesn't stop here...i find the permanence of change most evident in myself...now more than ever!
