Bismillah.
Ameer bhai has often said the driving a car is the gateway into Adult-land. I mean, once you start driving, you see things differently. The first time driving, you even forget how to get home. I found that flying is similar to that. No matter how many times we have done it with Ami and Abu, this felt totally alien. I guess both Ami and Abu did more than we gave credit for.
Alhamdullilah, the trip was mostly uneventful. I slept most of the way on there. Thanks to Rohinton Mistry for ruining my optimistic feelings. The way A Fine Balance is written, you'd think that Family Matters and Macbeth are slapstick comedies. Ameer read the alchemist, and kept on quoting sayings like, 'Follow your omens.' 'Something that happens once never happens again; something that happens twice must happen a third.'
Inshallah, I can't wait to get to Cairo, but I'm already missing you guys alot. I especially miss Abdullah (Ameer and I both looked away when we saw a Ferrari on display in Heathrow, although we think we saw a Smart Car on the way to the airport, which makes the score 1-1). I miss Sauleha (I wish we had her organizing all of our stuff) and I can't say I really miss Khadija's heavy hand. I love Ami and Abu with all my heart.
Wasalam.

I hope that you can keep us posted from Cairo soon. First have breakfast and then head to the nearest internet cafe!
Yes, Mustafa, I am sharpening my hand everyday.And waiting for you guys to come back. We played lego to 11:00 last night, so I unhappily woke up at 7:00!!! When we went to T.K.D everybody was asking about you. Hope you have a nice apartment (that doesn't have little pretty bugs) and that is nice and close to Al-Diwan!!!
