that I've got my outfit sorted for Independence Day and I'd love for you to join me in celebrating. On 14 August, Pakistan was born and it's a big deal here. We all get the day off, schools and offices have events, and the kids go all out to show their love for the country. After the celebrations, I'm planning to rent a farmhouse near my hometown with two bedrooms, changing rooms, and a pool in the middle. We'll have a BBQ by the pool too. Let me know if you're coming so I can sort out your stay. Can't wait to catch up!
