Dreams do come true!

Posted on August 18, 2001May 2, 2025 by Shazia Javed

Hey folks,

A few days back I received admission offer call from Dr. Aftab Maroof. It seems like I am going to do BS(CS) after all. For those who do not understand or are curious, I am a spoiled daddy’s princess who declared that she won’t study further unless the university is NUCES (aka FAST-NU).

Strangely enough, I saw a weird dream when I did istakhara for deciding for or against FAST-NU. I am not sure if I should interpret my dream as a response to istakhara. This dream business is very complicated, especially when it’s in the genes. The task of differentiating between hints, warnings, predictions, responses to istakhara, or random visions keeps one on the toes – all the time. I think I shouldn’t worry about it for now. Allah will understand, and we’ll figure it out how good my decision was with time.

I have to admit that I am very excited about this journey in my life but I am also having a hard time in adjusting with a few changes. For instance, I can still be picked and dropped by Daddy just as he used to do in high school. There can surely be different ways of making me independent and capable of surviving in our world, right? Anyway, I’ll take it as a new experience and try to enjoy it.

I am getting back to reading Christopher Pike’s The Last Vampire. Next time, I’ll tell you about the new people in my life.

Think beautiful, stay beautiful!
