My best friend is not a perfect person, and honestly, he has many flaws, but I still love him deeply. He is bad in many ways — he is lazy, he forgets things easily, and most of the time he is broke. Sometimes he makes poor choices, and sometimes he doesn’t take life seriously the way he should. We drink beer together, and he once made me try naswar, which sadly turned into an addiction for me. These are not good habits, and I know that. But despite all this, he is still my friend, and that matters to me more than anything else. On the brighter side, he is a genuinely good person with a heart of gold. He cares about me, supports me, and accepts me exactly the way I am, without trying to change me. That kind of love and acceptance is rare. I really appreciate him for that. He is also very intelligent when it comes to technology, which is one of his best qualities. His way of thinking is unique, deep, and different. He has strong opinions about life, and his point of view is liberal, open-minded, fun-loving, and non-judgmental — something I hardly see in many people around me. I have known him since I was 13 years old, which means he has been part of my life for a very long time. We have grown together, made mistakes together, and learned together. Even after everything, he is still my friend because he is loyal, and loyalty like that is priceless
Still Standing: The Story of a Fighter
He was born in 1996 in Charsadda, into a respected and loving family known for its values and dignity. Life started simply, but like many middle children, he often felt unnoticed and quietly neglected. In 2019, his family moved to Peshawar, and while the city changed, his inner struggles remained the same. Like any normal teenager, he went through mental pressure, confusion, and emotional crises. But the special thing about him was this: every time life knocked him down, he stood back up stronger than before.
For many years, he worked in Wali Bagh without taking a salary. Not because he was weak, but because he was a true Khudai Khidmatgar — someone who serves with honesty and loyalty. Still, reality hit hard. A person may have a big heart, but without money, survival becomes difficult. So he made a bold decision and traveled to Russia, hoping for a better future. He lived there for one year, but the language barrier became an unbreakable wall. Unable to settle, he returned home — not defeated, just wiser.
Back again, he restarted work in Wali Bagh and slowly began earning online using his tech skills. Technology was his battlefield, and he was a warrior there. Web development, content writing, SEO, digital marketing, app development — he could do it all. Just when things seemed to improve, life punched him in the face again. This time, he went to Mansehra with his brother in search of granite. They invested money, dreams, and hope — but found nothing. The investment was lost, and they returned empty-handed.
But giving up was never part of his story. With the same stubborn hope and unbreakable spirit, Haseeb packed his courage and began a new journey — this time toward Karachi. Because that’s who he is: someone who falls, bleeds, learns, and still keeps moving forward. A survivor. A struggler. A diamond still being polished by life.
Meetings and Dates
We started talking in 2018, but we never met in person back then. After years of conversations, we finally met for the first time in 2024. Since then, we meet twice every year. And somehow, on every single date, something unexpected always happens. Once, we were traveling on a bike and I fell off it. As if that wasn’t enough, I later fell again on the stairs the same day. On almost every date, he forgets to refill his petrol tank and ends up stuck in the middle of the road. No meeting with him is ever simple or normal.
Every date turns into a full adventure and somehow creates a memory worth remembering. I don’t know why this keeps happening — maybe it’s because I’m a drama queen and I attract chaos wherever I go, or maybe Haseeb is just too sleezy and carefree. Whatever the reason, these misadventures have become part of our story, making every meeting unpredictable, messy, and strangely beautiful.
