Assalam-Alaikum,
Pa khair raghlay. Tell us more about yourself. I like meeting people from Kunarh.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!

Do you mind me asking how you landed in Mexico? Mexico is pretty dangerous.Originally posted by Da_Kunar_Ghro View PostI live and study in London but I grew up in Mexico and Islamabad.

My parents lived in England where I was born. When I was 3 my father took a job in Islamabad and we stayed there till I was about 6 then we decided to go to the US and we went to Cali. My family took a vacation in Mexico and somehow it reminded my mother of Afghanistan and it was considerably cheaper, so we decided to stay there. Mexico city is very dangerous because of gangs and stuff but where I lived it was really nice and I learned Spanish.Originally posted by Admin Khan View PostDo you mind me asking how you landed in Mexico?

Oh wow, that is really cool. What part of Mexico? I have been Mexico plenty of times. You said you went to Cali, were you in San Diego or LA? Sorry for asking so many questions, I am surprised an Afghan lived in Mexico lol.Originally posted by Da_Kunar_Ghro View PostMy parents lived in England where I was born.
