I Am Coming Home...



It's always a nostalgic feeling when you have to have leave a place that you have stayed in for so long. Within our tenure in that place we have built so many memories and relationships which becomes a part of us and our existence. My time had come to leave Malaysia, and with that i was leaving all that i had built up in my 4 years of stay there. I had a built a family consisting of friends from all around the world, month by month year by year , i collected friends who became family. We would cry together , laugh together and share happiness together. I never realized when this family became a part of me, and now as i have left Malaysia i feel like a part of me is gone and now i am left with emptiness.

When i come to think of it , i realize that each stage in our life is a transition period and our final destination is death. When i say death i do not mean that we have come in this life to die , all i mean is that our permanent life is the hereafter and not today. This stage of life is just a transition that we go through collecting our family , friends , deeds (good & bad).

Coming back to my theme.. coming home… it was a blessing to come home and do Ramadhan after a full 4 years in Malaysia. The spirit of Ramadhan in Dar-es- Salaam is just different and comes with a lot of positive vibrancy that uplifts your soul bringing in the true spirit of Ramadhan.
