Hey there

[Rukhsana]

Rukhsana come and move to the USA, the land of freedom and hub of education. 17 of the worlds top 20 universities are in the USA, what we American spend on research is equal to what Europe and Asia spends combined.

New York City is the capital of the world.

American over patriotism makes me vomit a little bit ...

Thanks i'll keep it in mind ...

moor or plaar ba yi, da pakhwaa Afghanistan ... da oos gha na ... Khali farsibaanan de or taliban ... sensible pashto speaking pashtuns are few and far between it seems to me ...

Feroza,
You got your B.S in EE? That is amazing! EE is not easy at all, it requires a lot of patience and study.

Good job khorey.

Thank you wror jana ... yes in EE... it wasn't easy at all... as you said A LOT of Patience.

but it pays off, and no i am not talking about money... its all about the type of hard working, disciplined person it made me, that is worth every effort i put in.

[Rukhsana]

That is not true. Pashto is the national language and spoken throughout the country. Dari is also an official language.

Listen to the national anthem of Afghanistan. Every Afghan sings it in Pashto which means nearly every Afghan understands the basics of Pashto since its a required subject in all Afghan schools and they sing it.

YouTube - Afghanistan National Anthem

well i will assume this is opinion, because i know many many afghans who cannot speak a word of pashto, yes they know a few words like i know french ... anyway you stick to your view I'll stick to mine. My father grandparents were born in paktia and my mothers grandparents were also from afghanistan but before that many generations before had come from Tajikistan ... i assume ... which means we can keep going further back if we wish ... but why complicate it ... I have never been to afghanistan and nor have may parents .... My roots are there, but i am not afghan ..... I AM PASHTUN, if you don't like it thats ok ... as the americans say 'couldn't give a rats ass!'

Welcome Rukhsana. Beautiful name

You will enjoy it here. Its cool you are from London, there are many members from various parts of the UK. I visited London 2 years ago, it was fun.

Its nice to meet you

[Feroza_Banu]

I think its pretty much the same as schools in cities in the US. Its a inner city all inclusive school (so not just the bright rich ones) ... some kids have a lot of issues going on at home, drugs, alcohol, violence, neglect, families on 'welfare' as you call it, but then some who are from normal working class families, naughty kids, nice kids, aggressive kids ... we basically have everything, diverse in status, culture, ethnicity, relgion .... i am rambling ... LOL

Its not as bad as the worst schools in somewhere like the Bronx .... but not far off i would say.

The title of your degree sounds amazing!!

i see. well its almost the same here as well... it must be hard to deal with teenagers.

Unfortunately an easy sign to see what a forum is like is to see how long it takes to get into an argument about whether you are pashtun or afghan, seems people cannot accept other opinions ...

Nice to meet you too though and sorry, but its left a bad impression on me.
