Lately, I have been thinking a lot .. As to why I was born here. What is it I am supposed to give you or get from you..Well .. Being “Mulood Qatar”, I had seen Qatar & its people from the time when there was only a Pyramid shaped Sheraton hotel & beautifully architected Qatar Post Office building visible from most lovely place of Qatar, Corniche. Freedom you say is the birthright of everyone here .. I grew up in here enjoying every moment of it. I grew up at a time when life was simple, Full of joys & Laughter ..Contentment & No greed..No Jealousy.. I never knew what Discrimination & Intolerance was, Gender or community or religion or caste or color or money..Infact I never felt I wasn’t a Qatari .. The environment I lived in had people from different countries , religions,caste .. but I never felt different .. The indian school I used to go had friends.. Friends who are from different countries .. Different religions ..but whenever there was break .. used to eat together from one tiffin … The Emir of the country had never made the expatriates feel different .. Specially the only Biggest & one and only Government hospital, HAMAD MEDICAL CORPORATION .. The Medicines .. The treatment .. where equal to Free of cost ..Home rents and food were cheap ..
As I grew up .. I saw the the city moving towards the development … Now .. from corniche I see is huge progress of infrastructural development of Sky lines .. Advanced technology … After almost three decades of living here .. I found this country different .. I was in fear that maybe , there would be Taxes .. or maybe there would be situation where expatriates would face discrimination ..or maybe the life of expatriates will be made hell like the neighbouring countries did .. But to the surprise, although there were tough times like recessions .. there was never been partiality with expatriates. Of course , Qatarization came in but I believe it’s the right of the country and for its citizens.And also as the time changes, it was sure for expenses of rents and food to go high..But there had never been partiality or discrimination like the neighboring countries did with Expatriates . In fact , There was one of the National Day dedicated to all the expatriates living in Qatar with the theme “ONE LOVE” ..
Dear Qatar .. What you have given to everyone is one of the most beautiful concepts, To cherish & Nourish ..You are the Most beautiful & Lovable country of the world among others .. Qatar .. You are the land of goodness & Prosperity , Unity & Equality..You are the King of Middle-East & Gulf .. Qatar .. You are the rarest Diamond that shines forever. You are the easts Golden sands, You are the Jasmine in its freshness & Greenness .. Qatar .. You are the Purest pearl ever seen & Your People are most Generous, Humble & fine example of Humanity. Qatar .. You are a Father who never forgets its People and always been there in front whenever there had been worst situations ..You are the Joyous Dream that turned you into a Paradise..In your Heart ..Everyone dwells ,In your eyes everyone are Seen.. You are a perfect smiling image of the Nature which makes you the world’s Precious Treasure .. In my heart .. and for sure in everyone living over here .. WE LOVE YOU ..WE SUPPORT YOU ..
Thank you Qatar & its Citizens for accepting us .. For never treating us as Expatriates but as your own brothers.. Thank You for Loving us and showing us to live life with Humanity ..Thank you for making us settled in Life by making our careers , dreams & imaginations come True .. Thank you for showing us to Live united ..by Nations ..By Religions …By Color ..
