Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

Yeah, i mean its not easy. When i was little, when we left Peshawar to come to America my mother was freaking out on the plane....it was her first time.....i was like screaming and such. At least others were trying to calm him down instead of just ignoring him.Comment

that poor thing...
let me tell you guys... before coming to canada i had been in planes but since it was in childhood i don't really recall the experience.. coming to canada was interesting and all that but for some reason the more i traveled by planes the worst it got for me. the last time i was in a plane i was alone so i had no company.. i had my eyes shut and holding on to my seat as if it was about to smash on the ground and shatter in to pieces. the irani guy next to me was grinning at me like an idiot.
i am going to watch that video again.
I am no bird, and no nest ensnares me.
non commercial would cost less if he was in charge himself which he plans on doing. right now it's n herat but soon it will be in qanadahar.

^And you travel to Afghanistan a lot? how do you do that
I cannot stand the airplane....i cant stand the tightness, the sound of the engine, the food, the bathroom, nothing....i honestly feeling like jumping off. That is why i take motion sickness medicine that has drowsiness and sleep throughout the flight. Going to Afghanistan was a killer! thank goodness i had four connection flights.Comment

i am telling you. the first few times were okay. i don't know if that was because back then i traveled with family and now i do it alone or what but even when i was with my parents recently, i still had this fear..my father and my brothers joke with me sometimes so it's easy to distract myself while the plane takes off but the more time that passed away the worst it got for me.
i try not sleeping because that leaves me drowsy and it's tricky if you travel alone. i don't want to miss my flight because i fall asleep somewhere..
the worst part is the wait in dubai. i can't leave the airport.. there are perverts everywhere and if you sit in one spot too long it get so cold..

don't worry. i was scared too for the first time. just keep your eyes on your watch and follow the signs. if i did it, anyone could do it. i have been living in this city for 6 years and i still get lost in the local mall. zero sense of direction.

I have travelled a lot... but i still get nervous when the plane is landing or taking off. i hold on tight to the seat and stop breathing...
I was going to germany with my family but our seats were arranged in such a way that i was put nxt to this german guy who was going back to germany from america... when the flight started on runway, getting ready to take off, i held my breath and my seat with a tight grip... and i started reading surahs too... the guy next to me started giggling... i let him have his moment until the plane was well in the air and the terbulance had stopped... then i looked at him and said its not funny!... he said is it ur first time... i said no i have travelled by plane alot... but he just wouldn't beleive me... infact i told him that was my second time going to germany... he still wouldn't believe me... it took me more than an hour of teling stories about my travels, that finally got him convinced... he was really annoying haha..
but yeah i have this fear when the plane lands or takes off...
my fear is nothing.... Angaar and planes hahah.. i will just let him explain it himself hahaha.Comment

^ As the plane is taking off or landing.......i still get this quesy feeling as if someone punched my in my stomach and is twisting my intestines! it is so annoying....but felt bad for the guy. Like you Feroza jan, i read all the surahs that come to mind the first hour and the last hour of the flightComment

^lol...the surrah part is really cute and funny ...
I was in a plane to Kabul jan... it was in 2006... so the planes in ariana airlines were about 100 times worse than what is now... so the pilot said we are close to kabul and preparing to land... plane was full of Afghans and some foreign journalists... as the plan started landing... it covered around 1000feet of air distance in about 2 seconds... i mean to say the plane just dropped itself around 1000feet... it was horrible!.... everyyyyyyone started saying... La ilaha ilalahu... Allahuakbar.... ya Allah khair! outloud... people took out their little copies of Quran and tasbeh... it was really funny to see everyone so scared... it was a historic landing for me.
going to kabul is an adventure and it starts way before u even land there hahahaComment

poor guy...he sounds so helpless. My aunt said that once the airplane takes off then surrender yourself cuz there is not much you can do if something becomes wrong with the airplane.
I'm really scared of airplanes but i dont make a scene. I tried so hard to fall asleep but sleep will not come to my eyes. I have taken the medicine but it doesnt work on me when i'm in airplane.Originally posted by Laila View Post
