Honesty, devotion, hard work, dedication, courage, self-control, honour, sacrifice, loyalty, integrity, persistence, perseverance, knowledge, compassion, bravery, modesty, humility, kindness, diligence, patience and, more… Finding all this virtues in one person is more than impossible in today’s world, but I have the fortune of knowing a brother, friend, son, father, husband with all these virtues and more. This person is not anyone else then my dear brother Shabs.
Writing few lines about Shabs is both very easy and the hardest thing to do. Easy because his character is crystal clear every word comes from the bottom of the heart, one can write for hours his deeds are very so nice that your hand will flow endlessly on the paper. It is hard because it is difficult to find the right word to describe all his actions. One might forget mentioning one of millions of his attributes.
Now I go back in memory when Shab was very little. Being the youngest of the four of us, he was the one who needed more attention from Mom Dad. But I don’t recall any special attention given by Mom Dad because of any trouble caused by him. On the contrary he was very loving and caring towards everyone when little. I remember Mom giving him a peace of French bread which he was chewing for hours without bothering anyone. Shabs was even bullied by Bhaijan and I, we used to tell him stuff to do, he always responded with grace to all our nonsenses. As he grew up he was more close to Ghaz. More than her brother, he was her confident and friend. They went together from nursery to University together, and Ghaz have nothing but praises about Shabs attitude towards her. If I am not wrong I would say this with the certainty of not being overshadowing anyone opinion that he is an exceptional son, a wonderful brother. Like Dad will say with tears on his eyes that Shabs is my innocent child who knows nothing about evil.
Shabs have achieved a lot in life. After he graduated from Universidad Central de Venezuela with the degree in Economy, he went to London to earn a post graduate certificate in Hospitality and Management. Due mundane circumstances he couldn’t continue his studies or else he will definitely have made it something big in his field.
I haven’t seen someone more honest and sincere to his employer then Andres. If I have a source of employing someone the first candidate in my mind would be someone like Andres. Dedicated to his work, giving his 100% are his qualities.
Shabs is blessed with the love of his wife Masooma. I see them complementing each other very well. They are like made for each other, like the song in “ek duje ke liye”. Khushi, Muskan, and Rehan are the fruits of this relationship. All three of them have something from Andres, he lives for them.
The only thing left to say is that, Andres! Never change. May Allah give you more then what you have. May Allah give health, I wish that no problem come in your way. May Allah concede every wish of yours. I wish you the longest life full of happiness and prosperity. Happy Birthday! Shabs! Love you… and more…
