PAGE: Tell me something about yourself, please:

Mubashir Nawaz Chandio: I am 45-year-old accountant living in London. I am a responsible and organized individual who values stability and structure in life. I am analytical and detail-oriented, with a strong work ethic and a desire to achieve success in my career. I am also cautious and conservative in my decision-making, preferring to rely on logic and reason rather than taking risks or acting impulsively.

In terms of my personal life, I value close relationships with family and friends, and prioritize spending time with loved ones outside of work. I have also had a strong sense of community and involved in local organizations or activities, living in London. I have an appreciation for culture, history, and the arts, and enjoy exploring the city's many museums, galleries, and theatres.

PAGE: Could you tell me about the Pakistan Day celebrations in the UK?

Mubashir Nawaz Chandio: Pakistan Day, also known as Pakistan Resolution Day, is celebrated annually on March 23rd to commemorate the adoption of the Pakistan Resolution in 1940, which ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan as an independent nation.

In the UK, Pakistani communities celebrate Pakistan Day through various events, cultural programs, and flag-raising ceremonies. These celebrations are usually organized by Pakistani community organizations, embassies, and consulates. In London, the Pakistan High Commission organizes a flag-raising ceremony on Pakistan Day. This event is attended by various dignitaries, including the High Commissioner of Pakistan to the UK, members of the Pakistani community, and representatives of other countries.

Apart from the flag-raising ceremony, Pakistani community organizations in the UK organize cultural programs that include traditional Pakistani music, dance, and food. These events bring together members of the Pakistani community and also provide an opportunity for the wider community in the UK to learn more about Pakistani culture and traditions. Overall, Pakistan Day celebrations in the UK provide a platform for the Pakistani community to showcase their cultural heritage, while also celebrating the historical significance of the day that led to the creation of Pakistan.
