Karim lives in London and hears that his father, back home in Pakistan has been taken ill. He decides to go visit.

He goes to Euston railway station to buy a ticket but the queues are too long, so he runs to King's Cross station.

Karim: Excusing me, but I am needing ticket to Islamabad.
Ticket seller: Sorry sir. All international trains leave from Waterloo or Victoria station.
Karim: Thanking you. Allah bless the seed of your loins.

Karim hops in a cab to Waterloo.

Karim: Excusing me, but I am needing ticket to Islamabad.
Ticket seller: Sorry sir. I've no idea how you'd get there, but I can sell you a ticket to Paris. There may be a connection to Islamabad.
Karim: Thanking you. Allah bless the seed of your loins.

In Paris, Karim arrives at the station and finds the ticket office.

Karim: Excusing me, but I am needing ticket to Islamabad.
Ticket seller: Je suis desolé Monsieur. I 'ave no idea how to get zere, but I can sell you a ticket to Berlin. Zere may be a connection to Islamabad.
Karim: Thanking you. Allah bless the seed of your loins.

In Berlin, Karim arrives at the station and finds the ticket office.

Karim: Excusing me, but I am needing ticket to Islamabad.
Ticket seller: Entshuldigung mein Herr. I have no idea how to get zere, but I can sell you a ticket to Istanbul. Zere may be a connection to Islamabad.
Karim: Thanking you. Allah bless the seed of your loins.

In Istanbul, Karim arrives at the station and finds the ticket office.

Karim: Excusing me, but I am needing ticket to Islamabad.
Ticket seller: Of course effendi. Here you are. Change trains at Delhi
Karim: Thanking you. Allah bless the seed of your loins.

Delighted, Karim skips onto the train. He arrives in Islamabad and spends a week with his family. After a month, his father is recovered, so he goes to the railway station.


Karim: Excusing me, but I am needing ticket to London.
Ticket seller: Certainly sir. Euston, Victoria, King's Cross or Waterloo?
