All our lives we search for that ONE person who could become your partner for life. The person you would want to have a family with. The person you would want to grow old with.

Not a lot of people actually hit the jackpot. But I am not talking about those people. I am talking about me… and my jackpot.

Being the eldest in the family and somehow being a natural introvert, I have always had the fear of interacting with people. Networking and speaking to people was never my best attribute. In fact one of my biggest fears was being in a crowd. I hated crowds or social gatherings.

Amazingly, I compare myself from that time and the new me standing today. Proud and head held high, booming with confidence. Very much of an extrovert and very open to speaking to new people and developing positively on public speaking skills. Where did it come from?

The most amazing change is that I no longer have that fear of crowds. That fear has taken a complete opposite direction and now I am actually afraid of being lonely. Talk about revolutionary changes.

That’s what a great partner can do. I am so dependent on her for everything. I am so happy that she is my wife. In her, I have found my everything. A friend, a listener, a confidence booster, an inspiration.

On this great date on which we got married, 4 years ago, I wanted to let the world know that I am crazy about my wife. Happy Anniversary Love. May we have many many more, filled with happiness, joy and pleasure. Aameen.

6th Feb 2009. 4 years and many many more to come… Inshallah:)
