Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to one of the brightest minds and softest heart, I have encountered in the Galaxy!

Some people look up at the stars and see a blob, some see burning balls of gas. Very few see stories, patterns, and infinite possibilities. You Zavair are one of those rare minds that doesn’t just see the universe but understands it, questions it, and maybe even argues with it a little to reconfirm the infinite beauty of Allah's design.

Like a true star, your brilliance isn’t just in how your incredible mind shines but in how you illuminate the lives of people you stumble across. And much like the cosmos, the more I get to know you, the more I realise how vast and extraordinary you truly are.

So here’s to another year of stardust, wisdom, and cosmic adventures. The universe is lucky to have you in it!

Wishing you the happiest of Birthdays, Bazoorkh Aadmein 💫

Now here's the extra surprise 🫢 I had recalled you mentioned you turn 36 in March. Part of why I had asked for your ID was to quietly confirm your birthday. Success!

Upon receiving your passport confirmation and verifying you are the Zavair Saleem, my mind started to scramble to think what can I do to make his day special? Because the only two occasions I adore are; Birthdays and Eids (anniversary pending - if I ever reach that feat lol)

My immediate thought was a forever gift regardless of what the future holds, as you are someone who has touched my soul.

So I did just that. Sadaqa Jaariya, in your name by planting an Olive tree in Palestine 🫒🇵🇸

It will be a gift that keeps giving. One which will feed your soul, here and accumulate reward for you in the hereafter, whilst nourishing the needy too.

“They planted so we may eat, we plant so they may eat.” ~Palestinian proverb

This is my favourite gift for you. I say favourite because I have also sent you a mini gesture elsewhere.

However it's now occured to me, you will be leaving for Reading at the crack of dawn, and despite my efforts to get your Science Park address from you, I failed miserably.

But that does not mean the mission was aborted. I have chanced it and sent it here:

Zavair Saleem Mountbatten House, 1 Grosvenor Square, Southampton SO15 2JU

👀😬

I do not know if you even have a permanent office there or simply hire for meetings 🤦🏻‍♀️

I know you do not need added stress given the patch thing is on your mind. I am sorry, I did not think it through adequately. I just get so excited and run away with the wind.

Is there any chance, you can get someone to collect it for you? And call reception at 9 and inform them to hold it for you? I noticed the office operates on a 24/7 basis maybe you can collect on way home from Reading? Ahh, I'm sorry I wanted it to be a small surprise but realise now I should have thought things through.

I just wanted to make you feel special as I can from afar, on your birthday 🎈

🎂 Happy Birthday 🎂
