I was working in a leading hotel chain in Pakistan and was transferred to one of our hotel in Islamabad. I am married and since my two young kids were studying in hometown Lahore so my wife and I decided to let them stay there with her parents.

I moved to Islamabad alone and rented an apartment (one bedroom, drawing room and kitchen with one washroom) in a nice and tidy building in the F-11 sector. Since I was living alone and it felt better to spend more time in the hotel than in my apartment, I worked lots of extra hours which gave me a good reputation in the company.
