Story of my life
2022
Uploading this picture in the title because this picture holds an exceptional place in my heart. I was thinking of writing this blog for so long, but I was busy with so many different things that I didn't get time for myself. I will keep updating this blog till the end of 2022.
{I know it's kinda weird that I am sharing my story like this, but I just wanted to do this. Maybe some people will get some learning or inspiration. It's also for my own self to read later how many changes I have been through in2022}
Bismillah!
Starting with the very 1st of January.
We shifted our house once again to our old area where I was born, this place is my literal love because every inch of this area holds my memories of childhood and teenager. Almost in the next 2 days, I got admitted to Karachi University although the department was not of my choice, I just moved on because I had no other choice. Our orientation was one of the most anticipated orientations of the University of Karachi in the previous 30 years because all the departments never came together like this in past years. So the day went well and on the 17th of January, the University classes started. As we were just getting used to the environment I made many new friends.
Obviously, study and assignments were 1000 times harder and more stressful than intermediate, but I did it all Alhumdulillah with smiles and stars. On the 2nd of February, I participated in the 1st seminar on Plants and environments at the University. It was a long day, covid was at its peak as well. I am BTS army so I was uploading statuses about Jhope's birthday and my mamma Baba saw them one after another. I randomly took a screenshot of their names in the list seen on WhatsApp. It was the evening of 9th February. On the 10th of February, I was still working and seeing social media, my Baba was in Dubai at that time so I talked to him for a while, and while my mamma was praying Asar someone called and said your husband's condition doesn't look good. We all in-home were damn scared, my grandparents phuppo {Baba's sister} me and mamma. My elder sister was not at home at that time she was to return home at 7:30. We didn't inform her what was going on, we just called her and asked her that come home soon if she could. In half an hour we got another call, it was from his colleague with condolences. I did break down for an hour or two, but later I and my sister stood up and took care of everything and everyone for almost a week. I went to the university just after the weekend to submit my application week's absence. I lost the most important person in my life. My life was a question mark, what am I doing, why am I doing it, but the presence of my strong mother sister grandparents and so many relatives held me tight. It was complex and still unbelievable that it happened. I started going to university again and started having fun with friends, but no one was waiting for my pic every day. Who would call me every night to ask (or kiya haal hain Meri guriya k, kiya horaha hai) he never forgets to make us laugh even when he was in pain, we were told by his roommates that he was used to taking 20 medicines in his last 2 months due to pain in the heart? hufffffffff. This is hard to write in a single sitting.
In the next months, everything was the same, studies were going on flow, activities, presentations, trips, labs, assignments, and final exams of the first semester. You must have heard that Allah gives you to test and takes from you to test you as well. He took from me the precious soul, but afterward, Allah kept showering his blessings on me like I was living in a dream. How can everything happen so smoothly, My Baba made sure that even after him we will have no lack of anything, and he made sure that we will not starve, so we live a very healthy life even till the date Alhumdulillah. We had so many crises when he was alive, but after all the hardships just faded away miraculously.
When my first semester ended I started looking for some activities to spend my 1-month vacation, and somehow I got into the course of Gemology at my university. It was a four-week course but actually lasted for 6 weeks, in the end, there was an exam and a field trip with the student of geology to discover the different rocky parts and cuts of land. I cleared the exam and the Eid holidays arrived. My Taya causing of called me and just randomly asked what is your major subject I said it's Botany. and he was like... Was it your own choice? I said no, it's just that the university puts you in any field according to your percentage, and as he lives in America it was a shock for him. He called me again and asked if I wanted to change my domain or if I like to switch my subject and it was an opportunity for me to think from a different perspective. He was right that if I want to spend my four years of life in some university it should be the best to make me feel good about it. What if I look back on these 4 years I will have no regrets about what have I gained in this era. So it took me three weeks and unlimited consultations to decide if I should or not. But at the end of July, I finally signed up for a Computer science degree at Mohammad Ali Jinnah University. Bow the most common question people ask me is why Muhammad Ali Jinnah University so it's easy the answer is because it accepted me with my percentage and medical background in the field I wanted to get in. The day of the test in MAJU arrived, to be honest, the paper was easy for the pre-engineering student but clearing that test for me was a success. Everything makes me feel like something good is happening. So, I got a cancellation of my admission from Karachi University which is one of the most prestigious institutes in Karachi to move forward for a new life.
To be continued................!!!!!
5th August 2022
I visited the University of Karachi for the last time to meet my friends and treat them to our favorite pasta of Chemistry canteen. On 7th September 2022, I had my pre-orientation at MAJU. and later on 10th of the September had the Main event of ORientation, visited the university, and learned more about the field I was going to study.
Starting my journey at MAJU as a student of Computer Science letting go of my dreams and attachment to the field of medicine.
Oh my God, I am continuing this after a long break today at 11:42 am 28th of February 2024.
Currently in the 4th semester of Computer Science.
If I will continue about my journey at MAJU, let me be honest it was not a piece of cake at all. Many times I felt like maybe this was something I couldn't do but later on, I had no time to think anymore cause I was trying hard to catch up WITH EVERYONE. Well, I did better than I expected and this year ended with many stories smiles, and tears. I will write about story at MAJU in another blog and how I found my best friend in my very first semester here.
Till then stay tuned
