Salaam Chicago

Lost in Transit

“There is something poetic about being in transit.” A friend said that to me once. If that is true, I have been poetic all my life.

Today, I leave my American home for my other home, Pakistan, a country that we have been following for weeks now on our news stations. A country that has headlines like this, or this, and this.

I am more prepared than ever. I have filled my suitcases with Advil and Tylenol, hoping that pills and shots will prevent me from contracting diseases Americans haven’t heard about since the 1850’s. While I'm gone I will not even take a sip of unboiled water.

I am prepared to live for the next three weeks the way I live here, constantly justifying my other half.

I am prepared to be in transit, on two Turkish Airlines flights, for the next 24 hours. Don’t worry; I have a lot of books.
