REUNION

Lost in the memories, I was thinking of the most golden pastime I had spent with my precious and favorite people.

I always wondered if it is nearly impossible for one to forget those days, sometimes I thought even if Alzheimer's patients, could they really forget those? My husband is a great psychologist and he dealt with several Alzheimer's patients, and of course, I am an inquisitive person always wanting to know the things that I find of interest or that prompt me the most, but yeah it is another debate that I feel too indolent to indulge in. In these years I came to realize that I have become more of a social person than I was in the past, in my university days. My husband also discerned this progression in me. About this I had a vast discussion with my husband.

Now, I have a lot of friends in my workplace Azher, Paul, Aima, Jeh, Samantha, etc., etc. but I still reminisce about my old but gold friends, living in Pakistan. Now, I am currently living in the United States, New York for the past ten years, having a hybrid identity American-Paki, therefore having diversity in friends who come from different countries and some even Native Americans. Last night, I opened my email to check whether I got some important mail regarding my work and I found the most thrilling and exciting email, guess from what______ from the Alumni club of my university. I read it all at once and it was more of a relief than excitement to know at that moment that I am about to go to Pakistan after ten years. They held this get-together of my batch called “reunion” and I am about to meet my old fellows and friends. I am going to discuss it with my husband today and asked him to arrange a visa and ticket for me.
