I can't live without ...

What is it that Irfan Raja cannot live without? Irfan, a student from Pakistan, made a video about his life in Leeds focusing on the one thing he simply cannot live without.

I can't live without...   visiting the Parkinson Building at the University of Leeds.

Irfan studying for his dissertation

I study at the University. I'm an international student from Pakistan doing a Masters degree in International Journalism. 

I really like the grandeur of the building.  I imagine all the famous scholars who studied there.

My time is important

I like the clock tower. It reminds me that my time (at this university) is very important and I have to organise my time well.

The great hall of the Parkinson Building is not just the entrance to the university but it's also a centre for information and knowledge.

All of the students meet there to discuss assignments, etc.

Heart of the University

The information desk at the entrance of the building tells all the students what is going on. It's the heart of the university.

All the time something is happening (at the Parkinson Building). We have exhibitions, conferences, job fairs, etc. Students can benefit from all of these events.

I often sit on the steps outside the Parkinson Building and feed the pigeons.

I had pigeons back home in Pakistan so feeding them takes my back to my childhood memories of my pigeons. That's why I love doing it. 

Irfan Raja created this short film as part of a two day beginners video workshop run by the all_2gether_now adult education tutor.
