Before we start our journey hope you have looked through the Day 1 Marakkech blog . If you are still reading then I assume that you are intrigued enough by the Day 1. Day 2 started with one more day of scrumptious breakfast at Marakkech. One thing that I completely missed mentioning and which I definitely should have had is the orange and the orange juice. I have never ever ever had such a yummy juice before. My very definition of bitter sweet orange juice changed to just sweet natural orange juice in Marakkech.

I started with Zindagi Gulzar Hai( Zaroon Junaid) , Humsafar (Asher Hussain) and then Dastaan( hassan ) . Believe me all of these were watched spending days in and nights out. Something in Dastaan hit me very hard when the story of India Pakistan partition was shown from a different perspective. I’m not sure and I wouldn’t like to comment on this forum if I agree or not to all of it but there I was awestruck by not only Fawad Khan but the Pakistani Drama industry. There is no stereotypical Saas-Bahu thing or
