26 January 2003 the day you had your first sob and made arrival to this world, now are on a expedition which had and will take you over many things, exclusively this voyage of life will teach you a fair amount of things. No hesitations that till now you must have bumped into such situations which must have made you cry. But all those things were just rehearse. Life is another name of hassle and trials, this life endorses only those who stand strong in front of every awkwardness and confront every obstacle with all the might. And I am witness to how you have dealt with difficult tasks. The determination in you to do new things and to prove yourself to world what you truly are is well evident and I can with full confidence acknowledge the day the real Neeshan comes out it’s going to shook everyone, including me. The way you will come out successful you will yourself be proud of what you have achieved and you will make many people wonder about your success, as many people might have and must be underestimating you due to some events and unfortunately have done or are doing mistake of predicting your future. None can predict your future; it’s you who’s in control of his future and even present. A well known saying “Future belongs to those who create it”, I see the desire in you of creating it. You must have heard many people saying to you that they don’t see any good of you in future and when you will come across my words, claiming you to be a successful person you beyond the shadow of a doubt must be wondering who to trust and what to take seriously. It should not be difficult for you to trust and surmise in yourself as you can and you will make your future a success and specimen for many. To all those who have undermined or are devitalising you, you must tell them Allah says in Quran “And I don’t change the circumstances of those who don’t want to change themselves”. The enthusiasm in you to make your future successful it an authentication that Allah will help you at every step of your life. Rather than hanging on to people taunting you, making comments on you, you must trust Allah. You aren’t the only one who faces or is facing such people who make predictions about others without giving it a second deliberation, to all those you should have a message. Allah says in Quran [3:54] “Allah is the best Planner”. This should be a message to those having a different belief and a relief to you. Your way of putting your trust in him is something what people should learn from you. Every time you come across any problem and the way you put your trust in Allah has helped men in making my belief even stronger. I have come across many people who have been in difficulties and problem but I have seen them giving them up but when I see you dealing with same circumstances you don’t only chase the difficulties and solve your problems but you learn from them and make yourself strong than before , at same time . Your ways of dealing with situations have seriously taught me man y things and at times have inspired and surprised me.
Well I have seen you listening to your own Criticism and taking that in a positive way, such quality is found in rear people and you definitely are among them. Your confidence in your self is your narcissism which will take you to heights and the process has already begun. Your quest to master, ascertain and incorporate things are the signs of your brilliant coming. Glimpsing all this I want to say” I am so proud of you. I just wanted to tell you in case no one has”. Well this is all about your faith in yourself , how people think of you, how you are working on your upcoming and etc but now it’s time to illustrate the noteworthy bound we share, the most pre-eminent and estimated thing to me. I always thank Allah for making us bump into each other. Our friendship which has turned into brotherhood is one of those things Allah has sent as a bounty to me. Because finding people like you in today’s time is not less than a miracle. Comic, irked, caring, loving, decent and what not. You are best the way you are and you never need to change yourself for anyone. The one, who demands or asks for change in you, is the who wants to ruin a best person in the world or the one I know. Well I still remember the first call which was a conference call though and that was the only and last time you spoke in a well dignified way. I remember you calling me sir and introducing yourself. When we had that first call I never thought that you will become so important to me that I will write an article for you’re in the middle of the night while my hands freezing. Being honest you deserve more than this. Even before having an eye to eye meeting we had become cherished that you had opened up to me about your problems and much more, which I won’t be disclosing. As he opened up to me because he saw confidence in me and that I won’t be breaking even if anything happens. With we having a face to face meeting Sir had taken many names and can’t be mentioned here. When we met for the first time I saw a customary human being whose eyes had plentiful to say. But it’s worth mentioning I saw a person like a teddy bear. A fat round being, wearing a cool black coloured half sleeves shirt and trousers. That simple meeting made way for strong bound which we share today. Well sometimes you meet someone and it’s so clear that the two of you in some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the stranger circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something. As the time went on, you trusted me with your problems and always believed and believe that I have a solution. Sometimes I do but sometimes I don’t. I can’t promise to fix all your problems but I can promise you won’t have to face them alone. We have fights, arguments and what not but that will never make your importance have any impact. If I could give you one thing in life. I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes only then would you realize. How special you are to me. Being really honest “I May never find words to describe all that you mean to me, but I will spend the rest of the life searching for them”. The most important day to me, your birthday My wish for you is that this life becomes All that you want it to. Your dreams stay big. And your worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to. I hope you know somebody loves you. “Though there is gold in the mountains, lovely pearls in the sea, those treasures do not mean as much as your friendship means to me”, ” To My Treasured Friend” By Alora M. Knight. A delighted and joyous birthday to Neeshan. Remember I am always by your side.
