There are moments in the life, which are of worth to remember. The last session of Amal fellowship also created the space in such moments. This session was quite different from the other sessions because there were smiles and laughter in the air.

I appreciate the friendly environment of the fellowship. This environment is lagging in the formal educational institutions of Pakistan. Such students friendly environment helps the young minds to speak their brains and hearts. Throughout the fellowship, we all have spoken our brains in response to the activities and questions. But in last session, every buddy have spoken his/her heart. This thing made this session quite worthy to remember.

The activity in which there were two groups and each have to solve 25 puzzles by pictorial representation. I learned the spirit of friendliness and creativity in this activity. All of the guys acted in a way to solve the riddles in no time. This was also the beautiful illustration of teamwork.

Then, there madam Rabia asked us to speak about the Amal journey. The fellows spoken about their feelings. Some of them got the emotions that they will miss this fellowship in the coming days and years of their life. I remembered the 3 months of the fellowship by rewinding my memory. I got to know that I am a better person with some more skills after 3 months. I learned how to make smart notes, how to answer, how to manage time, and how to write blogs. I discovered that I can be a good columnist, if I give some of my energy and time to this thing.

There are occasions, when a person is smiling and stopping his/her tears at a single time. This sessions was the apt illustration of such occasion. We were delighted about the fact that we have completed the fellowship. At the same time, we were also trying to stop our tears, because we were aware of the bonding created in these 3 months.

We also tried to give credit to the instructors by singing for them in our (un)soulful voices. These melodies are evident of the fact that our instructors, madam Rabia and madam Hajra played their role very well. There is dire need of such friendly environment in the universities, between the students and tutors.

This session ended with memories and best wishes. I hope we will have a meet up in the coming days. This union will also leave the laughter and memories.
