Visited university after a while; there was hardly any familiar face around. felt like a foreigner, someone who doesn't belong.
when zakir khan said "maze kisi jagah
se thodi aate hai, maze toh bc logo se
aate hai" I really felt that today.
5:02am, empty street, no one in sight,walking towards the masjid for fajr, i knew I'd miss atleast 1 rak'at, in my mind just prayed "Ya Allah namaz miss ho jani koi zarya ban jaye"
10 seconds later an uncle came on bike, masjid ja rahy ho beta? jee. Aa jao.i was like Allah mian🥹
one of the amazing things i learned from physicians in the US was to actually accept that you can't have a knowledge of everything & it is completely ok to look it up in a journal/book and then get back to the other person.
unfortunately, it is not encouraged here.

Nothing prepares you for your first night away from the comfort of your home.
you are thousands of miles away with no one around to talk to or go out and meet with. you are a total stranger in an unknown place with dozens of fears in your mind.
This is IMG life!

This could be you, this could be your siblings, this could be your parents if they are "serving" as a medical professional in this country. Do you need another reason to pursue USMLE/PLAB?
This is your future if you stay in this country to “serve”,this is how you get served,as i said yesterday to new doctors. A doctor gets beaten by some goons in Children Hospital Lahore. No security nothing. Pathetic working conditions. Video is too horrible to watch.

1-i wouldn't even wish for my enemies to end up there
2-mayo hospital (with all its flaws) is far better than jinnah hospital in terms of quality of care and infrastructure.
someone shares even a small win in their professional or personal life that they worked hard for and are proud of and random people on twitter be like: "you shouldn't share it", "not everyone can do this", "you are just showing off", "it's not a big deal"

a common mistake that some people make while preparing for STEPS- forcing a resource on themselves when it's not working for them.
it's completely ok to not try and use every resource out there.

persistence is quite underrated and less talked about. a senior once advised me that "if you want to ask Allah for one quality, ask for persistence".
it has definitely changed my perspective ever since and I can't thank Him enough for that
Doesn't matter how far you think you've gone or how much you've disobeyed HIM, just remember this:
"We created a human being and We know what (dark) suggestions his mind makes to him. We are nearer to him than even (his) jugular vein."

there was a clear mingling of genders at KEBF... why didn't it boil jamiat's blood this time?? why didn't they call out this "evil". wasn't it against the teachings of islam?? or is allowed by islam on events organized by jamiat?
@DrSohaibAsghar
you knew something wrong was going to happen (quackery). did you go ahead and try stopping it? or did you even call it out?
why the double standards? why do you display a power show when your batchmates or juniors organize events?

why don't you let other society organizers give the same benefit of doubt?? why don't you let them compromise on a few principles to organize their events?? Is it ok for you to turn a blind eye towards something "evil" just so you can have your event?
Hypocrisy!
@itni_life_khrab
The thing is my remorse wouldn't make any difference here, and if I have to organize an event, I have to think from an organizational POV
have watched FRIENDS at least a dozen times yet it makes me LOL. some of the moments are just too good to not burst out laughing even at 4:30am knowing that everyone is asleep in your home.
So, take care of your mental and physical health. Don't be afraid to call out anyone who tries to be over smart (bcz people do). Don't take shit from anyone and take a stand for yourself.
Go an extra mile for your patients because the system won't.
Best of luck!
