Deer Vs Loin


Meat eater are normally considered strong in nature. Animals eating meat are stronger than those consuming vegetable or relaying on grass. Cheetah, Tigar, Wolf, Loin and even Wild Cat are mostly relaying on meat and they get this by killing other animals mostly Veg (Vegetarian) or those relying on grass such as Cow, Zebra, Goat and Buffalo.

I will not be wrong if I say that meat eaters are combatant. In order to feed themselves, they have to victim other animals so, they can survive. There is a continues fight for the survival. Small insects are eaten by larger one and larger by animals. Smaller animals by larger and larger by the those consuming more meat.

Veg animals care about their life and fear death i.e Deer. They are more gracious, expressing politeness and are always innocent. On the other hand, meat eaters are furious – trying to distress and cause anxiety i.e. Loin.



Looking to my life experience, human beings are divided into these two categories as well. Meat Eaters and Vegetarians. Meat eaters are fighter, no tolerance while they talk and are always trying to prove themselves. While vegetarians are kind, have enough tolerance and are most welcoming people. Those with combination of both are mixed-up with both characters.

Afghanistan, where meat is considered to be the common dish and it is part of all meals; If it’s Palow, Qurma, Qariyee, Manto or other forms of dish. In short, meat is considered an essential part of the dining table. This being the case, how can we expect politeness in our people though I would recommend a Veg as President of the country and a meat eater for the defense ministry.

Migration to the U.S.



There were several reasons leaving my motherland to migrate to the U.S. Lack of opportunities, corruption, instability, security issues and more important was the future generation of Afghanistan “My children”. I can live a life since I have been suffering this from decades but what about my kids. They were growing in a society where they had to learn looting, backbite, killing and even how to harm neighbors so, that they lie in your feet and you be the Boss; economically and physically.

The decision whether to move or stay in my country was hard. It really took me two years and the final decision was to leave for the U.S. Before making my final decision, I was in UK for sixteen months doing my masters, MBA and after completion I left back home in a hope to work in my country. However, staying there for six months watching the same channel, hearing the same stories- turned my mind and submitted my passport including my kids for the U.S. SIV visa.

I moved to the U.S. in November 2015 and it has been a year so far. Kids are going to school, I started working for the DOT as contractor and we are still fighting for a better life here. We do miss a lot about our country, even when I ask my kids including my wife – they would prefer to go back home. To be close to their grandfather, grandmother, uncles and other family members. Sometimes, kids do talk about their friends naming them one by one, their teachers and even the driver "Zargai" who used to pick and drop them from school.

Life in the U.S. is even tougher than Afghanistan. Raising children, given them enough time for school (pick and drop), making appointments (at school and for health check-ups), going to office - in short, raising five kids is not an easy job in the US. Even though, we are all physically here in peace but mentally we still are in our motherland.
Sometimes, while talking about Afghanistan I will have tears in my eyes -remembering the streets where I learned to walk, my father who taught me to be proficient in my life and I can hardly explain the situations to kids. I really want my kids to remember their childhood, the culture where we come from, get the educate for the prosperity and development of our country and we all have to bear this hardship.
