5:30 am

 Since I'm shutting down one of the sites that I created a few years ago, I'm posting here the only post I ever made there. I think its too close to my heart to be given  away with the site. This was something I randomly came up with one winter morning in Pakistan. I named …

Summer isn’t just around the corner…

So today after a very long time, I got back to my yoga-loving self and practised some. Sydney is getting unbelievably hot and I had no idea this was what my husband had warned me about when I first got here (although it was cold here back then). So as I lay in this couch, …

Away from Home

So I moved away from my home country a few weeks ago..well, its been almost a month now- almost. As a Pakistani, I was really looking  forward to living in this new land. I was excited about the place, its culture and of course, its people. Before, I had only heard of this land's diverse …

3 July 2018

It has been days. I don't know how many but enough to make me feel too free to come back here. Having exposed my passion for writing, I kinda feel guilty for not giving myself the time to write. I know writing makes me feel ecstatic. I don't know how to further explain the feeling. …

Like the foodie I am!

  So I started my food blog a few months ago and I'm ecstatic to see the progress on it. Like I've said earlier here, I love food and all that it makes me feel. There was a time when I used to say, 'I'd rather eat my food than take a picture of it!' …

‘KING OF SHADOWS’

If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. Various verses by William Shakespeare have caught my attention. But none of them as strongly as these in Sonnet 116 do. It was back in 1609 when the Sonnet was first published. But I came across it while teaching …

The Food Aesthetics

Today, I feel so delighted to have finally done something I had been dreaming about for a long time and of course, it didn't start without the encouragement that was given to me by a good friend of mine. I don't know how long it has been that I'm running it on Instagram as The Food …

To write or not to write

It was back in August 2017 when I last wrote here. When I changed my blog name last year, I didn't know it would suit that well, since 2018 really seems very different from what I had thought it to be. My last post here was about how I liked my job and all that …

Indecision

This is probably an understatement but I’m a very indecisive person. I don’t know why but I’ve always felt the need to ask people what I should and should not do. By the end of the day, I’ve asked so many people that this puts me in yet another dilemma of having to decide between …

8:38 am

That morning, it was unusually cold. A ring from a distant relative woke me up. When I saw her name on the screen and the time in my phone, I couldn’t keep the annoyance off of my sleepy self. Nevertheless, I decided to answer it. What triggered that action was in fact a selfish thought …
