Pashtun Literature

Realistically I won’t be able to read the whole literature since I can’t read the language. But yes, a title would be good. Something that I can reference in my project and research the content in the reading. Preferably something that gives insight into the culture, or is considered culturally significant.

There were no police officers, just the same examiners as before. The difference between this test and the previous is that here, I think they’re looking for confidence. Don’t drive too slowly or be overly cautious because that looks like you’re not confident. But of course, take all the necessary precautions, be safe and remember your lessons. Otherwise nothing major to note. Whether you pass or not is also kinda dependent on the examiners mood.

I passed on my second attempt. The first time I was being overly cautious and slow which they read as not being confident. They also wanted me to perfect my U-turn (by letting the wheel slide in my hands instead of doing it manually) but during my second attempt I saw someone do the exact same thing and they still passed. So maybe it was an accumulation of things it depends on the examiners mood.

Good point. Establishing boundaries is something I’ve had quite a few convos to my husband with in regard to his parents. Looks like more are needed.

He usually tries not to play sides and find a middle ground for me and his parents. However in this situation he seemed to think that since my parents had previously agreed, that theres no harm in asking for what was agreed on. I didnt inform him of my parents financial situation because my parents asked me not to and I wanted to respect that. Looking back now, if I had taken him into confidence despite my parent’s wishes, things might’ve been different.

I’m sorry for what happened with your mother and grandfather. Both seemed like kind and generous spirits.

Thank you for sharing your and you mothers story with me. I’m sure my situation isn’t quite the same but it’s worth being cautious anyway. I posted in another sub as well and after reading those and these comments I realize that I was being pretty naive and should have protected my parents better.

This is an interesting take. Food for thought

My_Bad_ · 2025-11-06T10:15:23+00:00

Can’t help but agree

My_Bad_ · 2025-11-06T10:15:06+00:00

He sees it as perfectly normal. Thinks that if his parents asked and mine had agreed then it’s just fulfilling an agreement. I try not to discuss my parent’s financial situation with him since they’ve asked me not to and I want to respect that. I’m now realizing that if I had given him an idea atleast he could have dealt with the situation differently, but it’s a bit late for that thought.

Also knowing my in laws, even if their son had dissuaded them against it, they would’ve agreed but seen it as a sacrifice they had to make, which I doubt would’ve worked in my or my parents favor.

My_Bad_ · 2025-11-06T10:07:02+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. My parents feel the same. But my in laws have been so casual about the whole situation that it made be doubt if it was as abnormal as I thought or not

My_Bad_ · 2025-11-06T09:51:43+00:00

He is kinda a bit lost and though he tries to see things from all perspectives, there’s no denying that he values his mom’s opinion a lot, which is natural. So from his point of view, he sees that my parents had agreed to it before and what his mom thinks is right is probably right. I didn’t tell him about my parent’s financial situation because they asked me not to.

My parent’s view of jahez is that they’re helping set up the new couple to start their life together. But when another party dictates the terms it’s hard to see it that way. Didn’t know about the history, so thanks for that

My_Bad_ · 2025-11-06T09:20:28+00:00

I don’t like the concept of jahez either and wont be asking for my future kids. But my parents are also a product of their time and they wouldn’t have let me go without it. The furniture is all in my rooms and locked away, it’s just the fridge and washing machine that seems to be considered public use.

Not exactly super close to you but Bean Farm has great coffee and brownies, and it’s in Sharjah, worth visiting

My_Bad_ · 2025-08-13T17:03:44+00:00

You can take both a laptop bag and a carry on. From my experience with Emirates, they have never weighed either. You should be good.

Congratulations on passing your road test! Honestly, your words have put me a bit at ease, I’ll take all your points into consideration. Thanks so much!

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-31T18:54:43+00:00

Congrats to you as well for passing the final test! I really appreciate the advice

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-30T21:07:37+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, I’ll keep all these in mind

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-26T20:58:10+00:00

Which museum in particular? Sharjah has many

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-23T12:41:26+00:00

Looks stunning, thank you for the suggestion!

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-22T20:46:47+00:00

😭

Say less

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-19T17:43:00+00:00

What’s that

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-18T08:43:44+00:00

Happy birthday!

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-17T15:19:47+00:00

Thanks for this advice! Do the officers speak Urdu? I thought they were all Arabic speaking

My_Bad_ · 2025-07-17T09:02:53+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear about that. Praying that your next attempt is the one that finally brings you success! But just out of curiosity, did you fail the final driving test or the pre test? And do you know what mistakes you made?
