Done your Master's, now what?

I have just completed my masters and it was not just an ordinary masters I have done it was from The UK's prestigious University called the University of Strathclyde which recently named as the Scottish University of the year 2020. Sounds amazing right! But here comes the bitter reality. JOB SEARCH.... I am an international student in the UK from Pakistan, came here to do my masters. In my head, I was positive that this degree from the UK will change my life, I will finally be able to get a good job, financially secure and all the nice things will start to happen in my life but NOoooo.  The real life is not some Karan Johar's film in which everything will be branded and shiny. It's more like Anurag Kashyap's movies where struggle and fighting is compulsory. Excuse me for my Bollywood references 😜.  I am not here to give you any life hacks, 5 tips to find your dream job or any other bull___, because there is nothing like it.

Top attractions of Glasgow City

Beautiful Clouds😍 The moment I landed in Glasgow, I was breath taken by its beauty of lush green hills, blue skies and peace full environment. All these things were new for me because I was coming from Lahore, Pakistan which is totally opposite of Glasgow.  Lahore is basically the second largest city of Pakistan, mainly famous for its mughal heritage, lively and hospitable people, extremely mouth watering cuisine and nightlife.  Glasgow is a less populated and a port city situated in Scotland's western lowland.  I am not here to draw a comparison between two equally amazing cities, because it would be a injustice to both, so please relax 😋.

Although, those are extremely must visit sites but I want to write something that is more importan...

Saltire Post-graduate Scholarship, Destiny, Luck or my Achievement?

Further studies was never my first or the most important goal after my bachelor's, I was applying for jobs , giving countless interviews and doing unpaid internships so that I can be worthy of some great occupation. After giving number of interviews, some of which I got successful but I don't know why I rejected those opportunities (I'm still unsure, or maybe that's what fate wants me to do). I started applying for Post-graduation courses in the UK, why UK it's another story which I will unreveal in another blog. Right know the topic is something else. So I was saying that, My family said that there is only one case in which I can go and study abroad, on the condition of getting at least half paid scholarship. I have never saw myself as a brilliant student and I have never been one. I have always been an average student all my life. Never failed but never scored 90% as well.  I knew that I can get A+ if I study hard, but I have never bothered or wished to be an...
