A letter to members of techshek

We are close to each other. Supporting, helping and available. We want to make sure we keep ourselves really down, humble and at the floor. We do not want to brag about our successes and we do not want to tell others how much money, kind of car or a model of laptop we carry on our back.

We want to make sure, we do not forget we are humans, flesh and bones underneath. Some money, a passport and a bigger brand does not elevate us over a fellow brother. We are so careful about talking to each other, that we do not want our talk makes any one feel lower than us.

Too much bragging, a lineage of successes and a series of hitting the golden buzzer, if not intended to lift the morale of fellow brothers, will dull down the colors of this group.

We belong to dust. We will stay a dust. Our ranks, skills, wisdom and achievements does not elevate us. We stay stuck to the ground in all circumstances.

I do not see this group like a typical whatsapp group. I see this group like a source of something big coming ahead of us. If we 45 people hold each others’ hands. If we encourage each other during weird encounters. If we clap even when we do not feel inspired. I am sure, we will become 45 outstanding brands.

A brand does not have to sit in Dubai Mall, or Manhattan square, or Silicon valley to prove it is a successful brand [we will do this too soon in our life]. It is a brand when you have a name given to you by your parents, you hold your sister’s bag and drop her to school, you stop your car to give water to a dog, or you sit at your home and they feel the warmth of love oozing out of you.

I love the flesh, the bones and the dust. It is the most precious ingredient in a human body. Things become bad, when we forget we are still dust, some flesh and few bones.

Please brothers, sisters of techshek, do not forget we are humans first. And we are all things after this.

Huzaim and Sadaf are calling fellow members of our community to send an invite for our upcoming meetup of 5th July 2020. I assure you they are not better than you. They wanted me to ask them something fun to do, and this is how I asked them to help me out.

with Love and sincerity
