"aj jab mei masjid se chal kr arhe thi........"

So i get off my car ..usually with alot of stuff..and walk towards my school. I get dropped off at the "masjid" which is about two houses away from the school..thanks to the security conditions in Lahore they dont let your car go near the school gate from this side after 8 a.m. As i continue walking i walk across a small police car standing at the exact same position EVERYDAY(hmm..now that's fishy)...with half a dozen weird police ke banday either sitting inside it or bulging outside the car.all doing the same thing..the talent in which our nation has mastered in.. "staring"!....i meet the same gazes everyday..tho by now i should be pretty much used to it but no! Its like torture everyday....esp the silence adds to the killing...
and then when i finally manage to get away from the "thannay ke log"..."safe and sound"..i see a chinese woman and her husband walk by on the jogging track of the park right otuside our school..i see them everday too..the whole lane seems very pretty and quite....with only a bunch of peons standing outside the school gate. As i begin to approach the gate ..i search "unhopefully" for the cars of my teachers in the parking lot when i pass by it...an absence of their car means...NO CLASS!!....a time of joy,happiness and celebration!!!......whereas this glance usually ends up in disappointment!=(...khaiirrr...then i walk to the gate..get my bag checked (just in case im a terrorist in disguise...and have ammunition and bomb thingies in my bag..planning and preparing to destroy my school..in all places "MY OWN SCHOOL"..while Noor Muhammad assures me "beta ye hmari mjboori hai..ab shaak to kisi pr bhe hoskta haina"...a comment which i recieve everyday and i always roll my eyes to...
i walk inside the gate and enter school...turning after the hedge i spot Shaina chattering away with either Amal or Maham...when i reach their bench my first words are usually ..."heyyy....oi pata hai....aj jab mei masjid se chal rk arhe thi naa......!".......n it continues with a new story everday.
