A not so proud Pakistani from Pakistan

Pakistan

Weird as it may sound but I am sure about one thing, every Pakistani, no matter how much they pretend to forget it, hide themselves and nationality, at the end of the day is a Pakistan and one way or the other, it shows. This happened with me today, he asked me not to name him but I thought I will share this with you all anyways. 

Me: Good Morning Sir.
Professor: Good Morning, sit down.
Me: Thank you.
Professor: So how are studies going?
Me: This semester has been really tough, finding it extremely hard.
Professor: Haha happens happens.
Me: Yes. haha.

Professor: So where are you from?
Me: Pakistan. 
Professor: Oh really? You don't really look like you are from Pakistan.
Me: Yes many people say that, pretty used to it. 
Professor: How are your assignments going?
Me: They are going alright, your lecture notes really help me.
Professor: I am glad.

Professor: So, where in Pakistan are you from?
Me: Lahore, mostly and then Islamabad.
Professor: Islamabad is a nice city.
Me: Yes it is the capital its really beautiful. Have you ever been to Pakistan?
Professor: *Smiles*

Professor: Is it still hot in Pakistan?
Me: Last time I was there It was hot, yes.

Me: I just texted them they'll be here in sometime.

Professor: There was this college, Aitchison college, is it still there?
Me: Yes yes it is still there how do you know? *excitement in voice*


Professor: I did my FSC from there, you know like A levels here?
Me: Yes I know. That's really nice to know, so you were from Lahore? I mean are you from Pakistan?
Professor: No I am not from Lahore, I just studied there for college. Is it a university now?
Me: Not really.
Professor: I used to live in a village, then got a scholarship. It was the best college, I have so many memories.
Me: Pakistan is the best.
Professor: Haha.
