scrolling through my contacts like theyre just a list of ghosts, one name stings more than the rest, that text i meant to send to ask if she even remembers me fades into the distance while i pack my bags of takeout, feeling more like a stranger in a new place than i ever did back home.
yaar, matlab samjho na, parents took a loan for my MS in America and now i have two months left on this H1B visa like it's some countdown to a bad reality show—घर वाले समझते नहीं, job nahi hai aur EMI 40 thousand ki hai, toh phir kya karun?
that time i told my friend about that weird thing that happened and they asked what i was wearing, which was like this old oversized t-shirt and my pajamas, and now i think about it a lot like a lot because i can still feel the awkwardness like it was yesterday.

یار، مطلب سمجھو نا، جب اپنے دفتری باس کو بتایا کہ میری شراکت داری کیریئر کے لیے بیکار تھی تو جو جواب ملا اس کی توقع نہیں تھی، واقعی اُس نے میرے فیصلے کی تعریف کی اور یہ سوچ کر کتنی خوشی ہوئی کہ بس اسی لمحے نے سب کچھ بدل دیا، میری ساری دُکھ بھری سوچیں دور ہوگئیں جیسے کوئی سمجھتا نہیں ہے لیکن وہ نے جان لیا کہ میں کچھ کر سکتا ہوں اور یہ احساس... بس کبھی کبھی حیرت ہوتی ہے کہ کچھ اتنا اچھا کیسے ہو سکتا...
