Today is the last episode and I urge anyone who is reading this to watch. I hardly self promoted of the programs I do but because working on Warna Ramadan gives me a different kind of fulfillment. Hence, please do watch! If you do no know Warna Ramadan will be showed on Suria at 5.30pm and it's second re-run of the episode will be at 11pm at night, just in case you miss the earlier telecast

One particular segment worth mentioning is Jalinan Kasih, every week we meet people from different walks of life who wrote in to plead their cases to be picked and to help them look for their missing family members. 5 episodes and we had featured 4 stories, so far 3 out of them were solved successfully.

I look forward each week to call these people personally and find out more about their missing family members who they had not met for a long time or some even who they had never laid their eyes ever since they were separated from birth . It stirred my heart most of the time when I talk to these strangers on the phone who felt genuinely delighted when I introduced myself and where I am from. The instant trust and hope which they gave to a nobody like me moved me to the point of tears. How they appealed their stories and believed this segment could assist in reaching out to the very person they are looking for or anybody who has information with regards to that person to come forward.

Usually after I hang up the phone, I couldn't wait to meet these strangers myself and arranged the filming day. I remembered one particular filming, the speech given by the lady was powerful in every sense of the word 'mother' all I wanted to do was to run back to my mama and let myself get lost in her embrace telling her how much she means to me. Never have I ever felt this grateful to be reminded that I have people at home who means the world to me. Looking at how much time I spent outside the house this month breaks my heart inside that I might have neglected the people at home.

The gratitude I received and how thankful they were leaves me humble but most of all words cannot describe the contentment of having to be a part of family reunions and how emotional it can be. I get too emotional and attached sometimes that I broke my professional barrier when I got choked up in tears.

So do watch if you have the time today, it is not so much about garnering ratings but more about the humilty content the program brings especially on this holy month. Ramadan is a month of purity and miracles. And I am lucky to witness this. Prayers were answered and how special can this be to reunite with your flesh and blood during this holy month.

On another note, 'Jalinan Kasih' is something very personal to me. It stares back at me daring myself to feel emotions I did not dare let myself to. Not wanting to care before was my bruised ego but the stark truth that I cannot change my past made me wonder that maybe in time will I should I be brave enough to seek that missing person who didn't even want a part of all this.
