The Word of mAn[S]o0r

Whirlwinds! Cyclones! Typhoons even!

That’s how life can be characterized in the past week. If five months ago, i thought life was hard, trying to balance family, fun and work, that was peanuts compared to what goes on now.

Between her, both sets of parents, the dawats, the get togethers, the breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and the welcoming and farewells, work seems to be a distant reality.

Dad flew in at 5 AM on Eid day from a business trip to Germany. Talk about cutting it close! The morning was pretty traditional till namaz and breakfast, which was with dada. But afterwards became an Eid which was never even possible a couple of years ago. Qurbani at nani’s, lunch at home, followed by dinner at my nani-sas!

If that was not enough, picture all of that while deep in the recesses of flue! It was a very different Eid no doubt.

Dad stayed on for five days, and i seriously have no idea where the days went. With the fiance, the in-laws, the parents and the nanial, it all became very surreal. Today, here i am, sitting at work, thinking what the hell just happened, and through the major headache, caused by excessive coughing, i still smile.

I see her smile, and her eyes, and i know what i knew the day i met her.

I’m smitten!

Belated Eid Mubarak to all!
Merry Christmas to all followers of the Christian faith!
And Peace and prosperity to all humanity!
