Congratulations! I’d say welcome to Berlin, but I’m moving out of the city next week. I’m sure you’ll find something to love here.

Be sure to waste no time in organizing some conferences over there, so we can come and show ‘em how it’s done!

Congrats Manan!

Wonderful news. Do stop by San Francisco on your trips back here, which I hope will be frequent.

Cheers

Welcome to Europe! Avoid the Currywurst, it’s not as interesting as it sounds… or rather it is interesting, but in the wrong way. But definitely attempt to look serious and hypermasculine while sipping on a bright pink Berliner Weisse!

We really must start working on your Turkish, so I’ll echo szerelem: tebrikler! I reiterate my call for a currywurst tag.

Congratulations!

As a long-time reader of your excellent blog, I am looking forward to see what the more Eurabian (lol) focus will bring.

Also, as someone who has just moved to Germany as well after a PhD in the UK, I hope your transition goes smoothly indeed. Me and my wife live relatively close to Berlin, and it would be a pleasure to meet you, if you are ever up for it – she has done a fair ammount of work on (and in) Pakistan, and it would be lovely to chat with you.

My email is danielfrp@gmail.com.

Once again, congratulations! FU made an excellent decision, and I’m sure you’ll have plenty of opportunities ahead of you in Berlin, where serious Pakiatn expertise is somewhat lacking.

Cheers, and the best of luck,

Daniel

mubarakbad, Sepoy.

come back to the windy city now and again when you need your hair or feathers ruffled up. I know it will miss you.

(we, insyallah and the creek don’t rise, won’t, I hope. )

may Berlin keep you in the best of health and spirits. Bon Voyage.
