Yeah, well, end of 25 Years. Sounds Amazing!
All these years, we gather memories all the way. There are certain memories that always mesmerizes you no matter when they come alive. These are the memories of events, memories of people, memories of places, memories where you find yourself, memories of where you belong, memories of where you think you should belong, memories of friends, memories of life, memories of death, memories of laughter, memories of pain and so on.
This is an attempt to list a few memories which I always cherish. These memories are in various bits and pieces. I dont know if I can enlist all such memories because, by now I have a pool of memories trying to prioritize themselves in my head to be listed.
I'm not being unfair to those memories of my life which I would reveal when I hit my golden jubilee. I promise I will.
I would start from the very beginning. Yeah absolutely, the biggest memory of them all, i.e; I am born in Dubai. This memory helps me brag a bit about myself. But the memory is short lived as I was there only for a brief year and a half since birth (practically a nincompoop) when my dad returned with nothing but few pair of clothes and started altogether again in India.
So am I a citizen of the UAE, hell NO :( . Just born there and shipped back, that too on my mothers passport. And as a matter of fact its now deadly difficult for me to obtain an Indian Passport. Country regulations are at one side and I respect them. However, now its 25 long years and I am a bonafide citizen of India (no wonder the growth rate of UAE always amazes me and makes me feel like ...why Dad?)
But, destiny has its own ways as I believe and it chose the hard way on me.
So the last 25 days before I complete 25 let me share some more experiences and hope you find them good.
Love you.
Take care.
