We as humans plan so meticulously for things to go a certain way but life always has a surprise for you in store. There was a time I wanted to be a civil engineer but I didn’t get admission in NED so I moved towards CS, which is something I am now thankful for. It’s funny how plans never work out but only because Allah has written something better for you. I’m also very much into architecture and interior design and so I’m always looking to see how I can make my house better. The one other thing I love to do is cook and even though I’m not very good at it yet, I’d love to start my own YouTube channel.
Friends and family are the most important thing in the world for me. They’re the ones who keep me going and the ones I would do anything for. You know when they say home is where the heart is, that has been a defining part of my relationship with the people around me. My family, my wife and kids, and my friends have always made me feel right at home, no matter what goes down. And every time I count my blessings, I always count these people in them. I don’t think I could have been where I am without the constant support of my parents, family, and my wife. All that I have been able to do, they have played a crucial role in it.
I’ve faced a lot of hardships in my life. My family went through a very tough time, back when I was in 8th grade. My dad had an accident and he had a very serious head injury that left him with memory loss and on bed rest. At that time he was the sole bread earner for the family and he used to run his own store. My family was very worried about how we would make ends meet and this is where I stepped up. I dropped out of school and started running my father’s store. This really taught me a lot. I didn’t really know when things would go back to normal or whether or not I’d even get to complete my education but it all really worked out. And my father got better, he was really proud of me.
Come hail or storm, I have learnt to appreciate the little things in life as well as be thankful for all that I have. I have learnt that hardships are an inherent part of our life, but life doesn’t just stop there.
