The only day in your life ....your mother smiled when you cried , what a birthday is...'

'Certain areas it will get ready and certain areas it will not and mine havnt ready yet and its okey '. Hope many of us heard these sentences from a small boy named Fayis . Along ago his video was getting famous due to this dialogue that he said to himself that 'its okey even if its not ready for him' . We humans have a tendency that our greediness for somethings will never get to end .We wish for more and believe that, if we have to be happy we need them with us. The truth is that we find happiness in things and not feel the joy within us. These words of him got the attention because its something we all lacked even after being a grownup but this small boy said it. At certain moment we might have wished if someone had said them that its okay for making mistakes , its okey if u failed  ,its okey if u havnt reached where u wanted to be and wished if someone could help to heal our wounds. No one is perfect, everyone has there own faults and those faults makes a difference in each of us and accepting a person with them is divine.

     When I was going through my old pictures which was taken with my parents back in Saudi , my fingers got hold them and started to zoom each face and a smile started to pop along with them , tears started to role over my cheeks. I was sitting on a chair in my cousins house and everyone was busy with their works as Lock down has made everyone stay back together in their homes . We are four girls, two from a different parent perhaps we wish to call us as friends even though we belong to the same family and can be identified as cousins. Seeing my tears ,they  asked in curiosity 'whats wrong to cry?' ,well when a tear comes off from our eye its the common question that will be raised ,'Why are you crying?'. Well as an expert in crying that's what everyone who knows me says ,well let me explain to you all ,there are various forms of crying that is , tears that comes from a happiest moment which happened so surprisingly, tears comes when anger catches  that you are not in a position to speak maybe cause thinking its better to be silent than to create a conflict , tears coming from memories either with happiness of thinking how blessed my life was and thanking god for it or for the things that will never happen again and misses them ,tears that comes with pure pain from heart which is like a broken feeling and also tears simply comes for girls at a particular age  for no reason as per the changes that takes place in their body. So well all these are tears that comes out for a reason. When they asked me I had a smile on my face showing the picture to them. It was a picture of my fourth birthday ,standing in front on the cake along with my small sister beside me and to my right stood dad, to my left sister and to her left mom. I still remember I wore a white frock and my sister in a orange shade frock . While showing them the picture with memories filled mind I started to explain my memories that took place at that moment.

     I was born in Saudi Arabia at King Fahad Hospital Al-Khobar and I had spend my life there for about fifteen years  and in middle of my tenth class we shifted to Dammam .So all my memories of happiness lies in that city perhaps my childhood. According to muslim community we dont celebrate birthday as such as inviting people and giving a party such an act is not vibrantly done . But my dad was like till 10 year it is okay to cut a cake and take a photograph just to keep a memory ,and we did them every year till the age of 10. It will be just four of us , me ,dad,mom and sis in our tiny home keeping camera on a stand and clicking our own pictures . Surprise gifts were not always there but use to get something new most of the time it will be dress and we wore them for cake cutting . The cake wouldn't be so huge with write ups but a small cake either vanilla or any other flavour and had candles kept according to the age ,for eg. if it is 4 year birthday then 5 candles . We majority of us get confusion in counting the age like whether its the age completed or started . Let me clear that first , If you were born in 2000 and its 2004 which means you have completed 4 years on your birthday and started the 5th year. Thats how the working goes and due to that we put an extra candle to show the new start.
