It was almost two o'clock when we went to bed, which was quite a long time and we had not slept for two nights before. Now our effort was to go to sleep early so that we could wake up again early in the morning and get to work early. We stayed here for about three to four hours and got enough sleep. And then we woke up in the morning and had breakfast first thing. What was available here for breakfast was tea with Bakarkhani which is salty and is my favourite.

The friend with whom we stayed the night knows this whole Lahore very well. He knows every street and path because he has been working here for many years. He picked me up and said, "Let's go for breakfast, I also wanted to see this Lahore." This was the first time I had seen this Bakar Khani being made in the oven. Earlier we used to buy it from shops which came ready-made from bakeries but for the first time, I saw it look like roti in this oven which is very delicious.

We took milk from there and took bakar khani with us and made tea at home and ate this bakar khani with us and after eating we booked a cab from here which will take us to HEC office.

There are a lot of services running here in Lahore which benefit the citizens of this Lahore city a lot. They easily call it where they stand and go where they want to go. And what they have done online is fixed, so this is a very good service. We also got a cab in the same way and from here we directly reached the HEC office.

The HEC office opens at eight o'clock. We reached there at five minutes past eight. When we got our token from there, it was the thirtieth token which was quite a lot. Because people come and sit here only at six and seven o'clock, because there is a lot of rush throughout the day, due to which we have to come here early to get our number quickly. We got our token there and waited on the waiting chairs in front of the counters there.

After some time we started calling token number one at the counters here. In this way, the numbers start running on all four counters, which takes only a minute or two for an employee to finish. Thus, when our number came, we also submitted all our documents to them, then they told us that would come and take it from here after two hours. We came back to them again after two hours, our degree was verified, and we collected the verified degree and all our documents and left.

Finally now after three days, we had to go to our home so we had to reach the bus stop to go to our home. Before that, we stopped at a shop where we bought drinks to keep with us and walked to the bus stop.

Here also we followed the same method we called Bikeya service here. We the auto rickshaw we called so that two of us could sit in it and reach Niaz Beg Ada, which is a main bus stand where all the buses come and stop.

It took about five minutes for him to come, so we stood on the road for a long time and began to see the surrounding environment. Because we have to go to Lahore sometimes, very tall buildings are being built here. Plazas are being built which are shopping malls, I think they are about 20 20 25 25 25-story buildings which are quite high.

After about 15 minutes we reached our bus stop from there we bought two tickets oforRajput Travels and about five minutes after buying the tickets the bus was moving and we left for our home.

After covering half of the journey, the bus stopped at a stop where passengers leave if they need to go to the washroom. He had a canteen nearby and we also got down and went there and bought some food. And along with that, we bought chicken pulao with shami tikki from there. We took those things on the bus and when the bus left, we sat down and enjoyed them.

Thus we completed our journey with the grace and grace of Allah and we moved from Sahiwal to Islamabad from where we obtained our bachelor's degree from our university. After obtaining the degree, we came to Lahore, and from there we got it verified by HEC. After getting verified from there, we finally reached our home. Thank you so much guys for staying here. Goodbye
