I am a son, a brother, a husband, a father to beautiful children, a loyal friend, and someone always aspiring to be a good human being. I might seem a bit reserved at first, but I’m an open book at heart—I don't keep things hidden for long. When it comes to what I want out of life, I am reminded of a beautiful Arabic proverb: تجري الرياح بما لا تشتهي السفن. It translates to, "The winds do not blow as the vessels wish." It’s a humbling reminder that life rarely goes exactly according to our plans, and we don't always get what we wish for. I hope you know what I mean. As for my passions, I’m a technology enthusiast and a road-trip-loving traveler. I’m also a photographer (though I admit it’s a nearly lost hobby these days), and I love picking up new interests from time to time just to feel truly alive. I’m so glad you’re here. Feel free to drop me a message, feedback, or recommendation at blog@anwarulalvi.com.
