Moving to Islamabad, one of the things that motivated me or fueled my excitement was the Margulahis and the local attractions in the area. When I moved to Islamabad, my first thought was when I was going to visit these places. but meeting with reality I couldn’t find the time or the encouragement to go there because I was not that familiar with the local train and area. It was about two months ago me and my friends planned to travel to Margola Hills. It is hilly range in Islamabad. It is covered with luscious green trees all around and they are quite beautiful with seven unique trails each having its own path and unique element. This was one of our first plans in weeks so we were quite excited but due to some international interference the roads had to be closed because an Iranian delegation had to arrive for some talks with Pakistan and America. So it had to be delayed and we were quite devastated and were sad all throughout. I had already picked up my friend from that house so we were more than ready. We were just there. There we had already bought some food and snacks with this for the travel. So overall it was a sad experience and bad experience for me but I came to realize that not everything goes to as people have planned. Some things might occur and some unforeseen circumstances can take place.

Moving to Islamabad, one of the things that motivated me or fueled my excitement was the Margalla Hills and the local attractions in the area. When I moved to Islamabad, my first thought was when I was going to visit these places. But meeting with reality, I couldn't find the time or the encouragement to go there because I was not that familiar with the local transport and area. About two months ago, my friends and I planned to travel to Margalla Hills. It is a hilly range in Islamabad, covered with luscious green trees all around, and it is quite beautiful with seven unique trails, each having its own path and unique element. This was one of our first plans in weeks, so we were quite excited. However, due to some international interference, the roads had to be closed because an Iranian delegation was arriving for talks with Pakistan and America. So, it had to be delayed, and we were quite devastated and sad throughout. I had already picked up my friend from his house, so we were more than ready. We had already bought some food and snacks for the trip. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for me, but I came to realize that not everything goes as people have planned. Some things might occur, and unforeseen circumstances can take place.
