Home is where the Heart is

Playful kids

This is what I call home. Away from work and away from a world that has its own expectations.

I do miss my childhood home, my parents place. But, it's really peaceful in here, Alhumdulillah.

Arfa and I have spent about 22 months now building a home together in this city of Hyderabad. And I truly love this place to the bottom of my heart.

My wife, Arfa has been a source of inspiration to me, she instills a belief in me that I am capable of doing great things, accomplishing big stuff and taking care of her and Fatima - my daughter.

I cannot describe how loved I feel when my daughter jumps up with joy seeing me back from office. And my loving wife waiting by the door to see me come. Kiss me and welcome me inside. It's a feeling I cannot describe.

I am pretty sure my parents too would have felt the same happiness looking at us grow. Would have shared the same love for me and my siblings and each other.

Arfa and myself have had our struggle managing things, adjusting to each other's habits, each others families, mostly she has had a tough time adjusting to my family. For me, it's been kind of bed of roses as far as in law's are concerned.

That brings me to something that I can't still understand completely, why does the family of the boy treat the girl the way they do? And why does the girl's family shower love for the boy the way they do?

But in the last 22 months in hyderabad we have really discovered each other in a very different way. We have learnt to depend on each other and also be available for each other.

We know each other way better than what we knew, we know that no matter what we have each other's back. We have come to terms with a lot of our issues and fixed a lot of things that were broken. And all this would never have been possible without our loving daughter - Fatima. She is Alhumdulillah the most loveable kid you might have ever heard of. She will make u fall in love with her cuteness and smile in a few seconds. She is the most adorable gift I could have imagined from Allah.

That is it for now.

Will write in more at some other time.
