Moving to Pakistan after 18 years - Story of an Overseas Pakistani
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2020
- ANNOUNCEMENT: I am moving back to Pakistan after 18 years (once flights resume) to be closer to my family and to develop a more meaningful connection with my home country. I've been brought up in the GCC and have found it difficult to identify either places as my true "home". I'm not alone in feeling this way as there are millions of Overseas Pakistanis and South Asians in the Gulf who have been raised in a similar setting. Therefore being a documentary filmmaker, I thought it would be best if I documented my personal journey from the Gulf to Pakistan through daily video blogging. My hope is that through my journey I am able to bring value to those who are in a similar situation as mine. If you're interested in my journey, you can follow me on my social media accounts below.

Well done for returning to Pakistan. Pakistan needs support from us and we need to help our country.
This is great. I am moving back this year after living in the US for 27 years and for the same exact reasons you mentioned in this video. Congratulations and good luck!
Wish you best of luck .
Please share your experience we are also planning
inspirational ... "against the advice of many, many people" ..... may you prove all of those many many peoples wrong and set an example for them and everyone. and may Allah also give us himmat and right opportunity to happily move back to our homeland and contribute to what truly is ours.... teri identity crisis wali baat dill ko lagi yar....
آمین
All the best Owais! This is an important story and is important to millions of people

I cannot say how much I love this decision. You are doing it for your mothers. Allah will make things much easier for you. Aameen
rais agha most definitely! Thank you for your prayers and love❤️
idk what the reason was for you guys to move back but i hope it was due to positive circumstances, if not shit happens sometimes. im kinda in a similar situation, my dad lost his job cuz of covid and we will be moving back to Pakistan from Qatar. even tho i can stay in Qatar because we have a business here i want to move back to Pakistan cuz even tho i was born in Qatar i never felt at home. honestly im excited to move back to Pakistan.
Muhammad Raza we chose to move ourselves to be closer to our parents and try to connect with our home country in a more meaningful way.
Sorry to hear about your dad’s job, all I can say is keep a positive frame of mind and follow your heart! You can always reach out to us if you need help. 🙏🏼
@@syedowaisali thanks a lot, my dad losing his job was a blessing in disguise, its a fresh start to our stagnant life that is how me and my family see it. im looking forward to moving to back to Pakistan cuz thats where my roots are. and im looking forward to serving my country and making a positive change. best of luck with your channel, the content is great

Hey . Are you in Pakistan now? I am actually planning sth similar
Sir pls if you can make video for fridge. Especially why no forst do not work in summer in Lahore even its not load shedding
Owais!!! One of the reasons I left UAE was your documentary and my parents as well. Never knew I'll meet the person who made such a masterpiece while I'm looking for the Esmart 1838 AC review. :D Normally, I used to watch your solar panel videos like any other youtube channel but now it has been changed. I'm a big fan of your work and I wish to see more such documentary from you. Masha Allah you're very talented. May Allah bless you bhai..
I am really glad to whatch this inspiring video
Oh man, that start got me right in the feels, I was the same age as you when we migrated to NZ (04), Now living in Australia .
I feel you. Glad you liked the video.
Wish you good luck...it will be little tough as we need to earn the necessities of life as compare to life in Gulf. Rest all will be interesting, you'll get the real taste of life, feeling of living life. Family events, gathering, pleasure of being with them in good and bad times. Go ahead, we wish you peaceful transition. Don't worry, Allah Karim.
Muhammad Ilyas Ashraf thank you for the words of encouragement! Will need those along my journey. I have no doubt in my mind that this is going to be a rough transition but I’m looking forward to the stories and experiences I’ll be able to garner
Most welcome Owais bhai, I'm with you on this mission! BUT im moving abroad :) to earn more money for my family

Wow its amazing to hear your story
thank you
Alhamdulillah great men
Great video
you have made the best decision brother. I live in UK and inshALLAH i am trying my level best to inshALLAH move to Pakistan. ignore those who advice against moving to Pakistan.
living elsewhere is like living in someone's else house, we not refuges we ALHUMDULLILAH have our own country weather its good or not but its ours. Its a shame when people start calling themselves British, American etc Pakistanies anyways best of luck ALLAH apko kamiyab karey :)
I've never watched any of your videos, but this popped up on my screen and I had to hit the "Subscription" button for you because you're/have "moved back to Pakistan." Best wishes, and may Allah make things easier for you and your family. We all have ideas, but only a few have the courage to put them into action. As a result, congratulations!!
Thank you for the support! InshaAllah you’ll enjoy the videos too once you get to watch them… I’ve been working creating guides for overseas Pakistanis so they have a smoother transition here.

Hats off to you instead of the advise of so so many people you have decided to come back for the sake of your parents.
Dear Owais, I've just Subscribe to your Chanel and right now I'm in Saudi. Really glad to hear your views about going back to Pakistan.

Wallah I was pleasantly shocked to know that you direct that Documentary. will you believe that documentary is still on my laptop.it was a very emotional story. Please share anytime about Shareef whats he is doing now and what his situation. also whats you plan. Please if you come to Saudi Riyadh city then let me Know. I'll In Sha Allah host you.

My flight was cancelled by CAA but still it push me back for 2 weeks. Still enjoying my holidays in Estonia and will be in Pakistan on 4th INSHA ALLAH.

Same, moved in after being born and brought up in Kuwait. Even my parents. But we can still not adjust. We've gotten respiratory and gastric diseases due to the pollution and atmosphere here.
Only moved because of education. People use you here...
Ab Bhai sochta ho ga k Kash Mai udr golf he reh jata wapis na ata 😂😂😂🥺💔
Very nice sir 👌🏻
Love from Bahria Town Rawalpindi
I am from the Pakistani diaspora living in the Gulf. The point here is to 'do something before your regret not having done anything at all'.
I came here in 2005 now going to move in pakistan after 17 year's

Owais bhai I'm really glad that you decided to move to pakistan I really am but everyone's situation is just different you know don't get me wrong I wish to come back to my home country and proudly serve it but there are just too many ongoing problems there its way worse right now with the IMF loan situation and security tensions and all that which as an overseas pakistani isn't really worth moving back to but I know one thing for sure is that I'll always be proud of my own roots as a Pakistani where I came from you know and I'm also gonna become a Canadian citizen soon enough to be able to serve my country one day but I won't ever forget where I came from and that is pakistan the land of the pure! And I can come to pakistan for vacations anyways it's not like I'd never come back to my country you know and besides I have family and friends there aswell so yea woudnt ever forget my own roots man no matter where I am in the world!
Good decision bro
Please also Make a video for Students
