But if there is anything i can help you with then feel free to ask.

Salam,
I am very new in this forum, so I am kind of excited to know about drs from Pakistan (my homeland)
Its been 10 years since I graduated, so I am really nervous to start now, but I just finished first chapter of anatomy, and the surprising thing for me is that I really enjoyed it  .
All the vocabulary, everything is so new for me, so I will definately bug you, please dont mind!!
Take care,
Saima

You will need to get your hands on RR from here. This is the most important requirement like nothing else is more important than this. And if you have someone who can get you books from Pakistan then it would be better but RR is the only book you have to get it from here.
While there are other things available i will have to check out their links to see if they are working.

You might to have the Following books from Pakistan cos they will be cheaper. All the new editions of the Following.
1. Lippincott Biochemistry.
2. Katzung Board REview for Pharm or Lippincott for Pharma.
3. Ganong for Physio or BRS for Physio.
4. High Yield for Anatomy( all sections included ie. Gross,Histo,NA and Embryo).
REst of them are mostly covered by Kaplan. The above are recommended only if you are an old graduate (like more that 5yrs).
Start off with any subject you can comfortably start with and then make your own pace and continue from there onwards.

Two questions
Is Kaplan's anatomy and Neuro anatomy enough? If not then what books?
How to study with UW?

well if you combine those 2 resources then its only more than enuf but wont hopefully be able to miss out on a question
With UW i suggest to take it up on ur 2nd read so that when UW throws a curve ball you atleast have a general idea where it is heading as opposed to being clueless. Incorporate UW in 2 read and use it mostly as a learning tool.

Thank you NNL ,
But with only Kaplan I feel verrry unsaturated, I want a nice text book for anatomy, not only for the step 1, but for myself, I want someting like grey's anatomy, but with readable amount of pages.
I was so curious abt UW, that I just signed up for a month, and wasted my $90.00 
but, glad to that I peek in to it  u r right, I should take advantage of UW latter.
thx for the prompt responce.

Basically English is the main Language and home country languages are sort of avoided and prohibited. So if you do wish to speak it then you have to do it through private messages.
I think you should give HY a try cos it will be the final review book for you atleast for NA.
