Zulfaqar on Nostr: Highlights of the London trip this weekend. I wanted to do a road trip travel-vlog ...

Highlights of the London trip this weekend.

I wanted to do a road trip travel-vlog style documentary - but the lads were having nothing of it 😂

Managed to sneak in these tid bits here and there.

It was packed with so much more, naturally all the best parts were off camera.

Just an overnight stay, but felt much longer considering all we got through.

London might as well be another country compared to the Norff. But it’s got a vibe of its own.

They tell us it’s dangerous. We were walking around at 1am no issues. Even saw a hijabi lady walking out by herself that late!

Not to say there aren’t issues, but like I have been saying for a while - the UK is a great place and not as bad as being made out.

When you connect with the right people, you feel the difference.

Spending time with these gents was great, but so was meeting all the new people as well - so many positives and so many opportunities in the UK.

Make an effort to genuinely be positive, you’ll be surprised how positive things begin to surround you.

Credit to:

Nasar Hussain for the invitation, which doesn’t even happen without the amazing work that was done behind the scenes for the last decade culminating in the charitable project in Balochistan.

Sadaat Khan for providing exemplary company, and who has a phenomenal project of his own.

Wajid Arif and his company Luxe Executive Travel for an unforgettable experience of cruising around London city in a Rolls Royce Ghost.

Two young guns and future stars Aydin Hussain & Zain Yaqub who soldiered through with youthful energy.

And of course Islamic Relief UK for putting together an amazing event.

To end with some words of wisdom from Dr Hany, especially if you’re feeling despondent and dead:

“A man who loves life will live forever.
A woman who loves life will live forever.
Never lose hope and never stop loving.”

(can’t do justice because Dr Hany’s delivery was impeccable - but you get the gist)
