Looks like there’s some business left unattended. As the second and bigger snow of the season is about to fall in northern region of Pakistan, there are still some villages where food and blankets might have arrived but no medical treatment. We did return but not the doctors team. They were not willing to come back to Karachi and somehow they did manage to arrange a chopper for a heli-lift to any remote area of LoC. Hence, I am leaving now to join them as well. After all I have learnt bandage dressing and giving vaccination already. And otherwise as they say (in Black Hawk Down) that “Leave No Man Behind“. And surprisingly the team has agreed to allow two lady doctors from Karachi and one female volunteer to be part of the team. I have no doubt that these women of faith have been no less brillliant than any of the their male counterparts. I am not sure if I would be spending Eid at LoC or not but do pray for our success and safety.
Here are my last words quoted from my fav. movie, Black Hawk Down:
Struecker: No one gets left behind, you know that.

“Hoot” (Eric Bana): When I get home people ‘ll ask me, “Hey Hoot, why do ya do it man? Why? Just some war junkie?” Ya know what I’ll say? I won’t say a goddamn word. Why? They won’t understand. They won’t understand why we do it. They won’t understand that it’s about the men next to you, and that’s it. That’s all it is.

Attn my friends: my new no. is 0301-2987009. Harris and Iftikhar uncle should esp. remember it and use it until further notice.
