biography Born to two hard working parents, in District of Colombia, Nasim would face the world as it was presented to him through blurred lenses. He was the oldest boy but the second to last, slipping by majority of the time. The middle kid syndrome skipped one child as he inherited the effects of the phenomenon. Going by unnoticed was not complete in his development as he was looked upon by his father to be the one to follow in those footprints, only better. His older sisters watched out for him as much as they could and he repaid them whenever they were approached with mistreatment.

There were some common pains endured for being different in a society that praises the desecration of beliefs not of Christian origin, but living inside a world where values displaced between four kids, would be a stepping stone into direction for where his parents wanted him to go. Nasim met expectations in school, gaining high marks. He tried to balance being a kid, with the importance of following rules by the head of the house, Allah, and that of himself.

When influences outside of the trinity of his focus were seductive to his sensibilities, he found himself in compromising positions as a teenager. The domino effect post 9/11 contributed to seeking refuge outside of opposition from peers and anyone else walking through the gas of national fear. Petty trouble nearly broke him and any trust his parents had in him, when they suspected it was going to be more challenging to live their lives honestly as anyone else.

Saved by an older brother figure in the neighborhood, Nasim shied away by the skin of his teeth from making more stupid mistakes that sent a lot of his friends in trouble with the law or with responsibilities they had no way of handling. He gave his parents his word. His path was reset by doubling down on his studies, following a small inkling of a passion he held under wraps. Being taught how to work on vehicles came as a surprise as he was interested in learning the way it worked and the science in place to make a vehicle and other advanced engine and propulsion systems to operate.

While his father made a living in a similar field on a scale that needed the additional brains for a company that did not appreciate the elder’s talents, Nasim believed he wouldn’t encounter the same. Taking his talents on a collegiate level. Encountering similar hardships as any other student faced, he was dedicated majority of the time to his studies. Working under the pressure that cranked on another level. Semesters came and went. The inclusion in the party scene, girls, and not living at home swayed. Not as much as catching a whiff of the love bug.

Young people were idiotic and he was just the same as he was more smitten by the allure of a college sweetheart he didn’t plan on seeing anything longer than a hookup with. Her set beliefs in wanting to fly by the seat and course through life as it were an adventure, stung him deeply that he too wanted to follow. He wanted to feel the same and not have the constraints of familial obligations holding him back when he had his life ahead of him to fall back on. This narrowed thinking encouraged him to play to her dreams rather than buckle in with his own.

Weakened by mind expansion of broadens views through his few years in school, he escaped Maryland, told his family he wanted to find what awaited for him in Boston, only to find his naivety work against him. The romance lasted no longer than a year after departing home as he tried to scramble to make ends meet. He couch surfed a lot, also working odd jobs until finding a niche. Nasim slowly was unraveling, unable to pick up the pieces of his heart and romantic life.

He turned to sketchy friends of his ex, that needed muscle to help in gaining wheels for cash, also the parts. This led him into a world he didn't enjoy but did what he could to feed his face and have a steady home. The distance between family grew wider than ever when reaching out for help. Denied, he decided from that moment on to rely on himself. In an act of rebellion and submitting to the lulls of the rough years his early twenties provided, he denounced what he was brought up on, including the devout following of his Islamic faith.

If his family, namely his father asserted himself to not give into a young man who thought he had it figured out, Nasim would play by that role. He tried with the apparent struggle and slowly worked his way out of a hell he caused himself. There was the immediate growing up to do and a little dispelling of being told he would not feel as welcomed among the ranks of his other siblings, including his older sisters who were near settling down. As his younger brother was aging and going to face similar difficulties he did. He slowly started to change his ways and cutting ties with the young adults that weren’t helpful by any means.

His years in Boston weren’t mundane and he applied the same amount of efforts of rebuilding his image in the eyes of himself rather than his parents. There were moments that he questioned what he was doing. Distancing the interests he once had, and exchanging them for something else. His directionless nature took a life of its own while he was swept up in a peculiar time. At the later part of 2015, Nasim departed Boston for reasons that ranged from a family tragedy to a peace of mind.

His move back to DC was to ensure his older sister wouldn’t be left to grieve alone while he helped with his nieces and nephew. After losing her husband, and a man Nasim respected, he had found a way of stepping up as a man. In his presence, Nasim made the decision to make amends with his parents from the stunts he pulled in his early twenties that caused them grief. To earn a place in any of their graces left, he submitted by applying for school and taking courses aggressively that would guarantee completion of what he started as a late teen.

He continued to make himself useful as a son, brother, and left little time for the antics that living in Boston created. It gotten rough through the latter part of 2016 because of the political climate and flagrant embroiled hatred kicked up towards the marginalized, including immigrants and ‘othered' Americans. Most of which had a bigger time juggling the acceptance of his faith and trying to live in that world he once denounced.

Being free of an entity he encountered in Boston was gifted and a curse for those very reasons after going from fighting wickedness poured upon boston to a regular Joe trying to support his family. The idea of the city began nagging and he, with blessings plus aide by his parents and siblings, decided to continue his education there at Boston University to concentrate on the engineering focus he abandoned in his early 20s by the grace of acceptance.

He got in contact with an old mentor for a favor while making a transition back to Boston. Has been living back in the city since January of 2017, working, schooling, keeping his head on straight, and silently praying to Allah that he what he continues to work on won’t have any interruptions.
