Light Within: From Russia With Love

From Russia With Love
Thursday, 1 July 2010

Asma Naveed came to call on me today. She was my class fellow in Russian Language Department at National University of Modern languages, Islamabad - one of the best seats of learning in the country - sometime back and she is now teaching there. She reminded me of the days spent there, the crowd, 'men at their best ,' students from diplomatic corps and more.

Dr. Muhammad Khan, Shagufta Bano, Hameda, Sakina Mirkhajevna, Alica (I have lost contact with my Russian teachers and now want to find them), Amna (best dressed girl in the class, no in the University) and Tanveer also came alive in my memories. Meeting old class fellows is like traveling back in memory lane. No?

Asma says, "Every thing is still the same there." She says this because she is same good old self. I say, "It is not the same because I am not there ."

But a few years ago somehow the school found out where I live and mailed me a reunion brochure. It flooded my mind with old memories and I wish I could have attended to see what everyone looked like now and what kind of occupations they are in now.
I have no contact with any of them unfortunately. Sigh

I wonder how it will be like and how many memories we go down when our class does take a trip down memory lane. We all still have some sort of network.
Well, I really hope that my high school reunion will have the same pleasant memories as yours. =) Thanks for sharing this. Take care!

The quests are OK and have a good storyline so far, and you will gain a good amount of experience by grinding and rose zulie too. Something I liked in this game was the nice design of the clothes can have from rose online zuly. There also armor also can gain from rose online zulie sets that can be wore by any class. Another nice thing that I would like to talk about, is that you can have nice Arua ROSE zuly in ROSE Online.
