The person I’m going to talk about today is someone that I met quite recently but is still very special to me. When I moved to Islamabad and joined a university, everything was quite new for me. No friends, nothing. I didn’t know anything about the environment, how things work around here and all that. So, it was a quite new environment and I was quite nervous. But joining university, I met this guy and F1 fact his name is the same as me, Ruzafa and we bond quite a lot. But at first I didn’t like him to be honest because I thought he was quite arrogant and had a lot of ego but over time I got to see his other side and got closer to him. And we started to exchange conversations, words, you know talk about different stuff, what’s going around the world, maybe religion and all type of nonsense. Well he usually likes to talk about religion or the world matters, the world politics. But he sometimes does tell me about his fiancee and how things are going on in their relationship. So and ask for advice sometime and that is quite ironic because I have never been to relationship and I am giving advice to him who is in a relationship. So all in all I feel that he is quite a genuine guy and that I required a friend like that in Islamabad as well. I do have friends back home but there was no one here that was as close to me. So overall he is a very nice person and has a pretty good attitude towards life.

The person I'm going to talk about today is someone I met quite recently but is still very special to me. When I moved to Islamabad and joined a university, everything was quite new for me. I had no friends and didn't know anything about the environment or how things worked around here. It was a new environment, and I was quite nervous. But after joining the university, I met this guy, and in fact, his name is the same as mine, Ruzafa, and we bonded quite a lot. At first, I didn't like him, to be honest, because I thought he was quite arrogant and had a lot of ego. However, over time, I got to see his other side and grew closer to him. We started to exchange conversations about different topics, discussing what's going on in the world, maybe religion, and all types of nonsense. He usually likes to talk about religion, world matters, and world politics. He sometimes tells me about his fiancée and how things are going in their relationship. He even asks for advice sometimes, which is quite ironic because I have never been in a relationship, yet I'm giving advice to him, who is in one. Overall, I feel that he is quite a genuine guy, and I needed a friend like that in Islamabad. I do have friends back home, but there was no one here who was as close to me. So, overall, he is a very nice person and has a pretty good attitude towards life.
