Happy Birthday, Lubz!

Our mornings at office would start with a conversation, which we had as religiously as most people have tea or coffee. This conversation would later continue on a messenger (usually gtalk) till the end of the day. We’d, of course, meet for lunch too. For table tennis. For foosball. For ice-cream or chocolate. For a short shopping trip to the mall. Or some place else. For one crazy thing or another. Meet the best buddy one can ever ask for: Lubna of Naqsh-o-Nigaar and this is my tribute to her as she celebrates her birthday over 7000 miles away.

She’s a wonderful person. I can’t stress this enough. Beautiful, creative, compassionate, kind, intelligent, elegant and if she’s ever clumsy, then she is so in a very graceful manner.

She is still the most popular girl at the workplace. Unarguably. I must add. And why shouldn’t she be? It’s so easy for her to win hearts with her kind, generous smile and caring ways. Arranging birthday parties for her friends and bringing together everyone with luncheons. Making really beautiful cards and showing appreciation for smallest of things.
Plus, she has her own special way of untangling the most complex personalities and making them feel at ease. All her friends would agree that she’s always there for them!

I’ve had such good times with her that I still find myself smiling occasionally thinking about the moments we shared at university and workplace. We’ve shared many adventures, which I really can’t mention. I miss her a lot here because she’s such a rare gem of a person. I used be the type who kept everything inside but Lubna taught me to trust people. This is perhaps her greatest gift to me, and I’m forever grateful.

As I write this, I remember how I once made a very healthy meal, which smelled awful and tasted like cr*p. During lunch time, I just sat there staring at my food perhaps expecting it to transform into something else. Something better like butter chicken. But no. It did transform into a sandwich though. Lubna swapped her lunch with me and to this day, I don’t understand how she could stand it and her face didn’t show any trace of disgust as she devoured the yucky meal (of boiled vegetables). I just looked on in amazement. Needless to mention, that was the end of my resolve of cooking and eating healthy meals.

There’s so much to say but not all can be said. She’s an amazing person, which is the essence of everything that has to be said. I wish her a very happy birthday and I hope I will be celebrating the next one with her. And before I end the post, I’ll just make a small request to Lubna: Please, pick up the pen again. You’ve the most amazing ideas and it’s always a treat to read your writings, which we all miss doing so.

    Happpy Birthday to Lubna..
    Everything that was said above is true.. really..

    It’s because of her that girls here at our workplace have come closer, because of all the bday parties that she flawlessly organizes. No one can do that… and she does it all by herself, never asking for anyone’s assistance, you can offer to help her and die trying but she won’t need your help, as she is so good at it herself.. :)

    so Lubna here’s wishing you buckets full of happiness, loads of love.. because you deserve everything nice. :)

    May Allah bless you with happiness. Ameen. :)
    Happy Birthday once again. :)

    Happy Birthday Lubnaaa!!!

    I met a lot of people in my life but if someone asks me to define a 10 on 10………. I would recommend Lubna. She has that personality that could inspire a million, gorgeous looking, innocent :) , always helping person (and by helping i mean loadzzz of suggestions :P )

    Oh! :s am I forgetting to mention her skills to organize events like lunches, birthday parties. She can outclass any one. Its all because of her efforts that despite of our tight schedules we came up chat, play, eat and have fun.

    Thank you Lubna for being such a wonderful organized person and a really good friend :) . May Allah bless you with success, long and healthy life far away from worries, Ameen

There are many people who can care about others more than themselves but only a few who would actually do things to make them happy with such creative ideas and organized event management skills…always be the same or surprise us with getting even better :) .

    I am simply overwhelmed.

    Thank you so much for being so amazing. I truly do not deserve such high praises from you guys but your high regards makes me so thankful that I am blessed in so many awesome ways.

    Hina, these ladies and gents made sure that to make my day as special as possible. It was so full of surprises and partying. Once again, I am truly blessed (MashahAllah).
