So, Bhaijan
and I were roaming around Belfast and were on the Shankill road looking at the political mmurals there. I asked a guy for directions towards the central library. He
told us the directions and then asked us where we were from. We said
Pakistan. He then pointed towards his shirt which said BNP. He asked if
we know what it meant. We said we do not know exactly. He said it stands
for the British Nationalist Party. So we said that means you support
the UK? (Because there is a conflict between
Britain & Ireland). He said no it means that I believe in white
skin. You immigrants will come otherwise. We told him that we are here
for just two days, don't worry. We thanked him and were going to leave
when he waves at the three guys across the road and tells us those guys
are from EDL (English Defence League)!!
The rest of our walk back to the hostel was
spent looking behind us every few seconds and seeing every other person
suspiciously because we were shit scared.What an experience! However, to their credit they warned us and did not beat us up :D

Goodbye, UK :)
And UK comes to an end. Life goes on. It was an absolutely amazing six months Alhamdulillah! I met so many people and learnt so much from them! I made friendships which I will cherish forever. I have left the UK with changed perceptions, broadened horizons and hopefully a better person inshaAllah!
Though, I do not want to risk forgetting names, a special shout out to my Italian and my Pakistani friends and others who made my time at Warwick so much good!
I cannot stop thanking Allah for my dearest brother. Alhamdulillah for him! We bonded so well and became even closer than we ever were. He truly is a brother unlike any other! Thank you so much Bhaijan for everything. I love you so much and will miss you a lot! ♥ May Allah give you all the happiness in the world ameen! :')
Jis shehr-e-muhabbat ne humein loot liya hai,
Uss shehr se ab kooch ka imkan hai Mohsin
