Not leaving Pakistan (III)

Letter March 15, 2011
Shame on all the Pakistanis who doubt this country and want to leave.

KARACHI: Caitlin Malik is a remarkable woman. Shame on all the Pakistanis who doubt this country and want to leave. The writer is an Australian, and she is happily (albeit not always, just like the rest of us) living in Pakistan. We all need to take heed and learn a lesson from her, especially since she always has the option to leave. I studied in England for six years, had a job offer from one of the biggest shipbrokers in the world but declined it all and chose to come back to my roots, family, culture and country. There are higher motives to come and live in Pakistan.
