Jise zindagi dhoondh rahi hai
Kya ye woh makaam mera hai
Yahaan chain se bas ruk jaaun
Kyun dil ye mujhe kehta hai
Jazbaat naye se mile hain
Jaane kya asar ye huaa hai
Ik aas mili phir mujhko
Jo qubool kisi ne kiya hai
Life is taking me to my next detination..NYC. I can't thank life enough for opportunities that knocked my door. Those that I waited for patiently. With a new place coming to me soon, I can't help but give myself a pat on my back...for my 3rd move and 4th city in 8 years.This has been a great decade. It has taken me to all those highs and lows one would want to appreciate in life.
Jaise koi kinaara
Deta ho sahaara
Mujhe wo mila kisi mod par
Koi raat ka taara
Karta ho ujaala
Waise hi roshan kare woh shehar
Thinking about all my moves I also realized this - In my first move to Canada, I remember him going "give it a few more months and you will like it", at a time when life seem to be breaking and move to Toronto seemed so terrible. In my second move to Philly, I remember him telling I was going to miss my friends, but he would still make every day happy (and he did). As my third move to the city starts, he goes "I am so proud of you...go chase your dreams...its your time. "
At every stage in the last 8 years, he has been my constant. Quietly pushing me, showing to me that he is there for me. More importantly helping me believe in myself while protecting me against the heat and cold.
Muskaata yeh chehra
Deta hai jo pehraa
Jaane chhupata kya dil ka samandar
Auron ko toh hardam saaya deta hai
Woh dhoop mein hai khada khud magar
Main parinda besabar
Tha uda jo darbadar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjarey ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar
Yaa sard mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai
Jaise banjarey ko ghar
Many times in Toronto, I asked myself...where would I ever feel home? When would it feel again like coming home like it did in Doha? When would I stop working at 7 because someone was waiting to surprise me with dinner at my dining table?
Thank you (though long overdue) for helping me find my first home in years...right here. In your arms.
