Brothers beyond the India-Pakistan borders share their special bonding in Dubai

Transcript

00:00I've been living in Dubai for 13 years, moved here in 2008, next door, but one.

00:10We met Jaginder who moved in at the same time, with our daughters playing outside on the

00:13main road.

00:14So that's when we actually met each other, the daughters started playing with each other.

00:17They were five, four, and three, so they were quite young.

00:20And since that time we've got to know each other.

00:22We had a very good time with our neighbor.

00:25They belong from the Pakistan Lahore model town.

00:28So we like, you know, spend here time like a family.

00:33We all, you know, are very much happy and we have a very good memory, a nice journey

00:39between both families.

00:41It helps having the same culture, the same language, and the same food, and we kind of

00:45hit it off from there.

00:46Over the years we spend all our time together.

00:48We go camping, barbecues, picnics, the daughters do sleepovers, so all of that has grown.

00:54Obviously with the Eid and Diwali's we celebrate the festivals and we're like brother and sisters.

00:59So we're there for each other, we've been supporting each other.

01:02In Dubai, people come and go very, very quickly.

01:06And for us it's been that constant that we've had each other for the last 13 years.

01:09I mean, hence, you know, Jaginder's purchased this property, we rent, but we decided not

01:14to move because of Jaginder, his family, his daughters as well.

01:18So our daughters are very, very close.

01:20They've grown up since they were three and five.

01:22Now they're all teenagers.

01:23So you know, they spend all of that time together, so it was comfortable for us, and it's resulted

01:27in a very, very strong relationship.

01:29We are, like I said, family to each other.

01:35We always pray for the peace between the both countries because this is very important for

01:41all of us to live with the neighbour country peacefully.

01:45I think the ones that do hatred, I think people need to grow up and you need to learn to live

01:50in harmony and peace with each other.

01:51We want to give a positive message to the world.

01:56We are one, we are together, and we want to live together.
