Experiences, and a lot of them. University is actually the best thing that ever happened to me. I am so glad I chose to come here. Not because it's fun and all, but it gives me the experiences I need and want. It makes you see, observe, discover the hidden beauties and beastly behaviors of people. Undoubtedly, it's a hard life. But the best part about it is, you get to meet the 'type' of people you never thought even existed.
Today, I had the honor of meeting such people. SRC, the Students Resource Center, is students' clubs for recreational and extra curricular activities. I met the people of Music Society. Genuinely nice human beings. The impression I had in my head about the 'rockstars' of the university immediately vanished when I met them all in person.
Today, the auditions of Music Society were being held and one of my class fellows had to take part. Me and some other friends went with him to basically 'back him up' in case he messes up!
The atmosphere, which was created there, made me feel like singing as well, and I sang! Yes, I am NOT a singer, not even close, but this was fun. Singing infront of some seriously professional and good singers, this was embarrassing, but fun at the same time. They told me i was "good". All right! They had to, you know, appreciate my efforts to sing.. Which they did rather nicely.
Then came the part where Naseer Afridi became all personal with us, the freshmen of the university. And man, he is a gentleman! May ALLAH bless this person. His behavior with us was so nice, even I was impressed (Being a person who is hardly ever impressed by anyone, this was rather pleasing).
Then he sang for us. Made my day, or say, made my week. Listening to him, and bro Anis, Live was a pleasure and honor in itself.
Now I realize, I had such small exposure to life back in home. No matter what, home is home. But still, I had no idea what life outside the laptop really looks like. And now, I feel like making everyday count. Yes, I am speaking titanic :P
It's a beautiful life, Alhamdulillah! Sometimes, it gets tiring, depressing and even frustrating. But at the end of the day, it's making me come 'this' close to my goal! And I hope, InshaALLAH, I am able to achieve what I truly want.
