The 'Trauma'

Friday afternoon, 9th March.
Me and Saad planned to meet up at 'Classiqyat'. Our usual sheesha hangout spot.
I try calling Saad numerous times at 1.00 p.m. He doesn't answer. He calls back at 2.00 p.m. Something tragic has happened. PANIC. My body stopped functioning for a bit. But that wasn't helping anybody.

I rush to Dubai. One of the fastest drives to Dubai ever, yet it seemed so long. Because i wanted to be there with him then.

The trauma was yet to begin.

Initial info stated it would just take a couple of hours. It went on to the next day. And another day. And so on. Weeks and then about a month the trauma ended.

I wouldn't mention what happened. Its pointless.

But all of us learnt a lot of lessons from this. The hope article posted below relates a lot to me too. We realised our family was one (as we were always taught). Everyone played a vital role. Every uncle, aunt, cousin was a part of this. And that is what got everyone thru this. Hope, Prayers and belief in the almighty.

People compromised their differences - Differences for the past 20 years.

It just showed the principles laid down by our ancestors. The idea of belonging. The idea of togetherness. The idea of being one. The idea of being with each other in times of need.

---------------------------

I was with Saad throughout all this. And it wasn't just one event. Everything seemed to go wrong. I admire Saad for keeping his cool. He has great temprament i must say. Throughout this one month; I have just seen him once out of his senses. He had stronger faith. I tried to play down everything on the face of it. At least pretended to be very cool with everything going on. I'm not sure as to how I did. But it was just to support everyone. One person breaks down. Shows how weak he is; Everyone weakens.

I learnt a lot from this event. Most major lesson being - the greatest happiness in life is to be a part of someones sorrow and take them thru to the end.

I hope our family always remains like this. I hope nothing ever hits our family. I hope everyone gets over this trauma asap. (Ameen)

Saads Blog ... Hope 101

I thought this just HAD to go here.

----------------------------------

In the light of recent events that have happened around me, I have realised some pivotal lessons of life. Never before has HOPE had more meaning to me, or I have seen it mean more to anyone than in the past days.

Alot of what we think is made of our own personality. The way we like to see things, may it be pesimistic or optimistic. It boils down to how we perceive things. In the same way, people we judge are all our own perception of the situation they are in. Alot of which is also relative to how ignorant or well informed we were about the situation. We think we know it all, but our conclusion is merely based on only what we know, even if that's not the complete truth or may be not even the complete lie.

And along these lines of positive perception, lies hope. An optimists love and a ray of light for the weakened. Hope is a strong player in times of distress and uncertainity. But how? It's factual evidence that has evolved some hope has'nt it. But that is because you perceive those facts to lead to something positive. Moreover, it exists because you require a better end result. In other words, because you want it.

I remember my teacher always said, 'IF' is the most useless word in the english dictionary. Coz everything that is about to happen rests on that 'IF'. To hope is kind of like 'IF'-ing, only you're not saying it, but your hoping it. It is just as hopeless. Heh, the irony of calling hope, being hopeless.

It's only natural to hope though, and almost all the times, its the only thing that shall make people go. Allah has asked us to hope for the best from HIM. Our hopes belong to HIM. But most of all, in times of any adversity, Allah reminds us that He will only push us to what we can handle. Also, whatever happens, happens by His decree and He does it for the better. That above all is the greatest Hope one can hold on to. The surest hope. And even when things dont turn right, you know that if you havent gone crazy yet, you can still take in more. What doesnt kill you, makes you stronger right?

Quote of the Day : Man is so weak, so brittle, so feeble. But that's all in his head. Its all psychological. Its all virtual.
