'I love a sunburnt country...'

I am who I am- the best of two cultures held high by the universal religion, Islam!

I finally managed to get that assignment done... yay! Submitted it online last night.Nothing major today, spent the day indoors again. Didn't study at all, my brains suffering from information overload at the moment thanks to my essay. Have to hit the books again tomorrow.



It's 12.30am and TV is on (Tolo channel, of course). All else is asleep like the rest of Afghanistan. Ahmad Zahir just came on 'bakhuda tang ast dilam, tang ast dilam, tang ast dilam' (one of my favourite songs).



Sayaf's house was raided today by Coalition forces in search of weapons and ammunition. It's funny considering he's an MP and a representative of the Karzai gov't. (I won't delve into politics! Too sleepy...)


Got nothing else to say.



I had a dream last night, all my friends were graduating university... but me! *sigh*



Oh yeah, A.A asked me today 'what about Australia?' Mate, I still call Australia home. If it weren't for Australia, I wouldn't be here today. I appreciate everything Australia has given me and it will always be my home for as long as it welcomes me. The bond that my parents have with Afghanistan, I guess I have the same bond with Australia. I grew up there, I have lived all my life there. Australia has given me the education and the expertise to help Afghanistan. It would be selfish of me if I didn't acknowledge that. Right now, I get a sick feeling in my stomach just thinking about Australia because I miss it. But Afghanistan is in desparate need of me. Australia will always be my 'sunburnt country'!

Ba omideh deedaar, khuda negahdaar.
