When I found out that we have to leave for Canada for good, I planned it so that I spent 3 weeks in Islamabad from 20th of March to 4th of April 2018 after resigning from my job. These three weeks were just phenomenal when I had the time of my life thanks to my family and friends.
Since we all knew that this is my last visit to Islamabad in a really long time, we really made the most of it.
