I still can't get back to the normal routine of my day after hearing/watching the winning moment and Asim not getting it.
Very sad and emotional about it that he was so near to that win and deserved every bit of it but didn't get hold of it but I also know that this is not the end, this is the beginning and a very grand beginning of our boy Asims journey whether it's his career, luck or future. This boy has done wonders and made each one of us believe in fate and good things eventually come to good people.
It must be an opinion of many along with me that we see ourselves in Asim and learn alot for him. The way he was tortured and bullied for constant four months reminds us of all the times whether big or small we ever were bullied or wronged by anyone. That way he stood upto those bullies and taunts and attained self containment might have reminded us of our struggle towards peace. That boy who was constantly being told he is wrong didnt give two hoots to that bashing because deep down he knew himself more than anyone else could know.
Asim makes me believe miracles do happen. Makes me believe that work hard in life for weeks, months and years and one day will come where you will get what you deserved. Struggle of hundreds of days summed up in 8 years resulted in 20 weeks that made us meet one of the biggest example of humanity, goodness and epitome of grace, dignity and strength, hence, the fruitful moment of being in the top 2 of so many big shot and big names. Way to go our boy!
It is not easy the people who tortured him for so many months, among them Mahira when she was leaving he came to her and said "you played well. Mum will be proud of you" it is the one of the hardest thing to acknowledge and be on positive terms with a bully who mentally tortured you but that's the thing in Asim. He's unique.
You inspire us Asim Riaz and you are a winner.
