Changing with the times

Mohammad says that since he comes from an Islamic country,the culture there revolves around the religion. “My parents and I stay in the capital city of the state,Oumdran,” he says,adding,“We celebrate festivals such as Prophet Mohammad’s birth day,Eid-i-Milad and Eid-ul-Fitr. Here in India,I love celebrating Holi and Diwali.”

“Education here is more flexible. For instance,even if I am unable to attend collage at times,I can always make up for it as the professors teach us things that come in the exams. Also,they keep giving us valuable tips and bits of information that improves our general knowledge too,” he says. Speaking about the culture back home he says that Asida and Waika are two dishes that are famous through the country. He says,“While Asida is made of wheat,Waika is a gravy based dish that is comprised of vegetables and lady fingers.” On his hobbies,he mentions football to be a sport that has always fascinated him. He says,“However,interacting with people and also doing social work are things that I like. Interacting with foreign students,organising cultural events and even food festivals are things that I do.”

Mohammad says that he would love to pursue an MBA in India. “Perhaps a course in Banking or Finance would be good,” he says adding,“I have always thought of doing these courses and maybe I will soon. Back home,after the partition of Sudan,the wars have finally stopped and life is coming back to normal. After my studies,I would love to go back home and work there. The economy is changing and I want to be a part of it. Because there is no place better than home to work.”
