I need to get off my high horse, say my friends if I want to adjust to living in Canada (specifically Toronto). Let me explain the state of my ‘High horse’. I don’t find anything in common to discuss with others from my home country, hence I am snobbish; I don’t find pizzaz in anything touted to be upscale and glamorous AND guzzling down the pricey fare from LCBO is so not my thing – so, here it is not aboutbeing on my high horse -- it is about adjusting to a style so very different.
I am from a big city too. A city with high velocity living and which stay awake 24-hours -- have you ever experienced a traffic jam anywhere at 3:00 am in the morning?? In Karachi, I have.
But that is not to say that Toronto has no charm. It has a unique peace which when you get used to, Karachi's din and clamour seems alien when you go back for a visit.
So now, I am at that in-between, neither-here nor there, stage.
