I arrived again in New Zealand to be greeted through my whanau with kisses, hugs and questions......

And with 3 ripped nails around the heart of the finger nails ... Sooo painful. Besides this, l have cracked heels and hardened soles of my toes from the entire going for walks at the assorted arduous, grimy, dusty roads and paths. I even got a scrubbing brush in India to aid scrub the airborne dirt and dust off my cushy soles and sandles.... However that did not paintings so properly.

I made a decision the only factor to do could be to pop into the mall in the present day for a medi-pedi as a handy guide a rough medicine beforehand l burst off to a marriage reception. I took alongside my very own 'halal' nail polish ? .

Closer to the tip of my consultation at the same time as expecting my polish to dry, the younger woman sitting subsequent to me stopped analyzing her mag and smiled at me. I smiled again, as an unstated invitation to speak.

She: l observed you stroll in earlier and also you appear spectacular.

Me: thanks. (Blushing).

She: you clothe very completely different (as she seemed me up and down preventing at my equipment)

Me: l clothe modestly every day. I am a Muslim. (Regularly seeking out that chance ? ).

And for a nano moment she seemed into my eyes and paused. So l endured....

Me: However there isn't a it's because we will not get pleasure from trend, shade and charm. ? yet as of late l additional a blingy choker on account that I will a marriage.

As l checked out the bangle round her wrist, my eyes then scanned over the healed scarred slashes at the similar wrist. I checked out her eyes and puzzled approximately her.

So, I then informed her a touch approximately my outing to India and we surpassed several greater mins away, mutually as two strangers sitting aspect with the aid of area thinking about one another's mini thoughts.

Because the younger woman jumped off her stool to go away she pronounced. "I am not having a fair day lately..... so it turned into so excellent to fulfill you".

Me, taken with her scarred wrist: l wish your day will get superior it was once lovable to chat with you.

I got here away reflecting on 3 contrasting lives and our private human struggles.

A terrible Indian girl, begging (l don't love by means of that observe yet will unless a discover extra just right one) and dwelling at the grimy dusty stinky streets of a closely populated vicinity in New Delhi.

She is probably going to all the time be negative and war to gain simple human necessities. She lives off her wits at the streets. Gaining knowledge of from folks residing inside the related circumstance or even running mutually to get what they need or desire.

The younger kiwi pakeha female inside the salon: with noticeable scars on her frame.... who understands what different scaring she has needed to sense and endure.

Then there is me. Soaking up the entirety l see by means of my wondering eyes. Hanging my very own perceptive on their lives and mine. Now not understanding the rest approximately their excellent fact and infrequently thinking mine.

But in a majority of these females, I see resilience and the need to maintain going ahead. The willingness to hold on with existence notwithstanding what struggles and cases.

Rizq comes from Allah. The only resource of sustenance. Resilience comes from the assessments he blesses us with in spite of the fact that we dispise such checks. Gratitude comes from accepting your rizq and believing for your resilience.

Like to all.
