27th Feb 2019: What a beautiful day it was.
I remember sitting in the first lecture of the day at around 9.30-9.45, prof's taking attendance, a guy from behind shouts; 'sir Pakistan ne India k 2 jahaz shoot kr dye hen'.
Everyone's like; he is definitely being sarcastic. (Cont)
Then another guy from behind shouts the same.
I immediately hop onto twitter and I start seeing tweets from news channels that it actually happened. We downed their jets. The blood just raced through my veins like never before.
Moments later, we r outside in the lawn of the university just in front of our dept buildng. It comes directly in the take off zone of Nur Khan, CAPs start flying. As plane flies above our heads, I rmembr each and every head rolling up the skies, everyone has read the news by now
