- This is a rather long diary of my trip to Pakistan, which I made as a personal keepsake. My apologies if it bores you, and wastes your time.
I am a Pakistani Canadian living in Switzerland, and have scarcely been back in the past 25 years. These are my recollections from a visit after an absence of 10 years.

Your charisma and storytelling skills have truly captivated me. While I've never been much of a commenter or fan, your content has left a lasting impression. If you ever swing by Sweden, I'd love to meet you in person. Keep us posted on any meet and greet opportunities!
Thank you Saad, I’m humbled 🙏🏼 Please keep sharing your thoughts. The beauty of TH-cam, unlike TV or movies, is that the viewer can interact directly with the content creator. Take advantage of that and contribute back to the family of viewers 😊 Makes the effort of making videos worthwhile, and enriches other viewers experience too. 👍🏼
All the best, and whenever I’m in Sweden, hopefully the viewers will know, and we’ll definitely meet.
"Appreciate your personalized reply! I realize it might get tough to respond to everyone once your channel explodes. Glad to be here early on, soaking up the personal touch!"😂😊
😀 Dont worry, it will never “explode” to that extent 😀 People love fluff, and theres not much on my channel except my old ragged face 😂
I have started following u since " only " last week & really enjoy ur vdo's. U have a very pleasant & positive personality , a trait which I wish I had or at least my kids develop , but I differed with u " only " on the concept of keeping Deen aside from science or other wordly affairs , which infact is not true as Deen ( the real one , not the one which Mullah teaches us ) , gives us a complete format of how to spend our lives & that includes everything , b it politics or science .
Amazing sir ... what a beautiful pakistan tour you narrated .... and thank you so much for including us in the video …. 😇
Thank you for being part of my trip, Shamim 🙏🏼
Zabardast lala.
The best thing about your videos is they look organic and natural. No music, no showmanship.. just keep it this way.
Allah de sehath munda satha.
Ameen. Deyra mehrabani 🙏🏼 Glad you like the videos 🙏🏼
Waseem bhai.... Your story telling is exceptional. Very decent vlogging style. Keep telling us your valuable life experiences.
Thank you Kashif, welcome to the channel. Theres plenty of adventures ahead so stay tuned 😊
بہت خوب خوش رہو اور اچھی صحت کے ساتھ رہو 👍
🙏🏼
Absolutely love listening to your travel stories and experiences.
Danial, you are very kind 🙏🏼 Thank you
you are such a nice person, love to see and hear you
🙏🏼😊

Thank you Suleman 😊
You made pakistan more beautifull ...GOD Bless You
اب سمجھ أگیا آپ اتنی خوبصورت اردو کیسے بولتے ہیں۔ بالکل اہل زبان جیسے لہجے میں۔ بہت اچھا لگا ۔
Amazing and interesting... Particularly the part of Kaka sahib... Where, as a school kids, our mom used to take us almost every year... After our school results... My younger brother , as a failed student in his class... She would order him to roll on the floors of Kaka sahib... Po dey zmakaa o lughra... Chey bya fail na shey..😂🤣... And the miracle really happened... Later, he did his engineering and earned more than all of us..🤭😆... But then spent , more than what he earned in his life... Or hoodwinked by his friends.. now whiling away his times in a village house... An interesting story... Once our whole family to Kaka sahib, in 1966 ... I was 11 years old... It turned evening in Kaka sahib... So my father hired a wagon.... Which , as a kids we called " Ghutoo".... I am sure these were off loaded by Americans, at Karachi , after the Korean war in early 50s... My father in a front seat and the entire family on the rear seats.. when it started from Kaka sahib... On the slope ... The driver started pumping the break .. we heard our father... Halaka ..laka break dey kaar prekho... Then the driver tried to control the vehicle... Taking it sometime to the one side of the road and sometimes to the other... Then he smashed it on the left side rock... It bounced back upside down... People rushed in droves from Kaka sahib to rescue us... By that time it turned dark ... We were pulled out ... And were taken to hospital in Nowshera for bruises and minor injuries...
Thank you... Shah sahib...
Wow, what a fascinating story. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Such a small world i saw my bro in law, with you in your pics 😊
Which one is your brother in law? 😀
Ahh, figured it out, he messaged me 😂 He’s Rambo to us 😂😂😂 Ask him the back story on that yourself 😂
@@WaseemSyed Sure, i will ask him 🙂
Waseem bhai, you sent me back to my KU days...
😊
Just watched the video. It was very nostalgic experience for me as I have not visited Pakistan since 2008. However, I vicariously enjoyed every moment of it and I could totally relate.
So glad you enjoyed 😊
New subscriber, next time when u r in Islamabad, InshaALLAH will meet
Wasim, I watched your pakistani latest episode and enjoyed it a lot but feel sorry not to meet you during your visit. I usually watch travelling v.logs but your one is special for me due to our relationship and secondly your very heart caching way of its presentation. Ŵish you safe and pleasant travelling.

Waseem sb, I have watched Season 2 and enjoyed it a lot. I felt if I was also travelling with you. So you can imagine how good your travelogue is. I started Season 3. But unfortunately, I could not find any episode after E6. How could I watch remaining episodes of Season 3.
Very nice vlog and great to see you back with this Pakistan story.
Thanks Tariq 🙏🏼
Even with my low attention span I was focused for the entire 40 mins lol. Great content sir, hopefully more to come!

السلام علیکم وسیم بھائی ۔۔۔ بہت اچھی ویڈیو لگی آپکی ۔۔۔میں خود بھی ایک کورس کی وجہ سے ڈھائی تین مہینے سے آپ کی ویڈیوز نہیں دیکھ سکا تھا ۔۔ابھی دیکھوں گا پچھلی ویڈیوز ۔۔۔آخری ویڈیو شاید میں نے وہ دیکھی تھی جس میں آپ نے کاؤ بواۓ میوزیم دکھایا تھا۔۔ ماشاءاللہ بہت امپروو کیا ہے اور بھی آپ نے۔۔۔ ویل ڈن۔۔۔ اللہ آپ کو صحت عطا فرمائے اور خوش رکھے آمین

I really missed the opportunity to see you in Lhr (which I wasn't aware of your plan). Optimistically saying, I'll see you some other time somewhere 😊
Its a small world Usama. We’ll meet somewhere sometime 👍🏼
fun fact, that Juice Station's logo at 32:39 is designed by me :D
Oh wow, thats so weird and exciting, at the same time 😀
Nice to see you again and hope for the best
Thank you 🙏🏼

Waseem your story telling skills are amazing. Love your conversations. You still have that style as at International School. Hope we can get together some day. Fawad
😀 Thank you, and it was great to connect. Stick around, and keep sharing your thoughts 👍🏼
I am getting really sad that I missed the chance to meet you and it makes me more sad that I won't be able to meet you again cause you gonna be so famous soon. Hope we meet someday and become friends. I have also planned to shift to Switzerland as a doctor after watching your videos. May allah bless you sir.❤
Dont worry, I wont become that famous 😀 And even if I do, I will meet you 👍🏼😊
Syed bahi your great
Lovely hearing you again, kash me bhi me lahore ke meetup me hota, next time inshaallah
For sure 👍🏼
I think the reason for low turnout at meet ups was Ramadan routine. I am sure you will see larger gatherings when you visit in other months. Cheers
Maybe, but the size of the gathering was never a goal. In fact smaller meetings were better. We got to talk 😊
Looks like you have qisa khawani bazar soul😢
You are such a captivating story teller. Loved every second of the video. :)
P.S. I was so looking forward to seeing you in Lahore but couldn't; so may be another time, inshaAllah.
Thank you Zubair 🙏🏼 And we will meet when I visit again in my RV inshallah 👍🏼
My name is Naureen. Please let us know if you have a Toronto meetup. I live in East York. Listening to your videos is a delight. It's like having gup shup session with you!
Naureen, you literally are the first female viewer I have 😀 Welcome 🙏🏼 I dont have a meetup planned for now, but if I do, I’ll definitely announce it before hand 👍🏼
@WaseemSyed I am truly honoured to have that feather in my cap! My husband introduced me to your vlogs and to be honest, I like your candid discussions and gup shup more than anything. I had a tiny adventure on a campervan last year when I went to Tasmania with my 15 year old son and went around the island in a campervan for 7 days. We did free camping as well on the seaside and other places but also stayed in lodges. Can relate to the exhaustion you feel after driving a whole lot. I am planning a road trip across the US (East coast to West Coast and back) and totally feeling inspired to capture it on vlogs after watching your videos.
Awesome. Go for it, and when you do, let me know so I can follow your journey
Amazing story teller
Thank you Zeeshan 🙏🏼😊
Salam o alekum sir kabhi switzerland mai bhi meetup rakhe mai zarur awunga it will be pleasure to see you jazakallah
Sure, I will let you know when I am there 👍🏼
@@WaseemSyed so kind of you sir
Hello Waseem bhai!
I am an old subscriber of your channel and watching your amazing videos since several months. I was living in Germany and recently moved to Toronto. I would love to see you here in Toronto. I live in Milton.
Hi Hassam, thanks for watching. And of-coarse we can meet. I am on the East end of GTA so if ever you are visiting this side or I come over west, we can meet.
@@WaseemSyed Thanks for replying. I will definitely drop you a message when I am there next time.
Love you from Balochistan brother,
Thank you Aman. Havnt been to Balochistan, but have a feeling I’ll blend right in. Love the place 👍🏼
Sir .....phir b dil hai Pakistani....log pakistan say bahir jatay hain ...lakin pakistan unkay andar say bahir na jata
Eysi baat bhi naheen 😀 Saal mein eik aadh baar Pakistan aa kar shouq poora ho jaata hey 😀
Excellent video !
🙏🏼
Pakistan bhi a gae wah sir
Ghar to aakhir apna ghar hey 😊 Once a Pakistani, always a Pakistani
Browser wali bat pe mujhe apki power Dynamics wali baat agyi
Browser? Dont remember what I said 🤔😀
Sorry that was mistype I was talking about “border” you went there in a protocol with reference
Oh, yeah, but I think we didnt get any preferential treatment that I can recall 🤔
Sir, aap nai youtube mai karachi anay ki update nahi de, warna mai b meetup k liye aata, Would love to meet you.
Next time Inshallah, when I visit in my RV 👍🏼
I hope to meet you in GTA! 😊
👍🏼
Reminisce!
Indeed 😊
@waseem syed. love you sir. kash aap skardu b aa jatay hmry pass.
Hadi, inshallah apni RV mein aoon ga aap key paas agley saal 👍🏼
@@WaseemSyed inshallah sir zaror. i m waiting you.
Waseem sahib. Saw your Shajarah. But you look like an Uzbek/Hazara (Turkic).
I dont know. Maybe my parents found me in a “mela” somewhere and adopted me. Who knows 😂
Nice 👍
🙏🏼
Shahji ....canada aur pakistan ki zindagi main kya fark hai? Do u wish to live in canada or pak
Canada

You are welcome. It was every bit worth mentioning 😊

Good to hear from you Sami 😊 Stay in touch 👍🏼
Thori disappointment?????

One year b4 buzdar was cm punjab he distroyed lahore .he was part of pti party .😅😅
Now you come to lahore you will enjoy more .pmln government doing a great job there.
Your story telling is amazing but you repeat "You know" like more than a 1000 times... It's irritating
😀 You know, 61 saal ki umar mein koi adat naheen badalti 😂
@@WaseemSyed Jahan chah Wahan Raah.... Khafa nashaie tasu... what i felt i wrote
Zamong peer baba de swat k
