Blog's up, Finally!!!!

-

Hello there!
 Welcome to the blog. I would like to start by saying that I have decided on this blog after thinking long & hard ( no harm in that, I guess). I have been procrastinating for a long time. ( save the judgemental eyerolls).

 So a bit of intro.I'm a Pakistani, in my 20’s, a Muslim, Hijabi, developed my love for reading since that first R.L Stein novel in 5th grade , love coffee, dark chocolates, nature;  Ok so I kinda  started sounding like a cat lady for a while there ( no offence to the cat persons here)
I'm a total introvert & don’t like to chatter incessantly, but that means I have 15 diff thoughts in my mind and yes , now I have given it a thought about how it is a good idea to talk( hence the blog), and if you don’t, it has a chance to mess up your focus, saying that, there is no social awkwardness.

 So you can expect it be something like- psychobabbling-expressing my interests- and living life one moment at a time & on moments, poring over and doling out some deep thoughts. 
Moving on to much colourful topics , lets discuss interests and hobbies, dream, goals ,passions aspirations. And maybe a bit of glam up!
Would love to hear your feedback & InshaAllah try to post as much as I can. p's I'm totally listing out the whole lot of materialistic shiz im almost made up of ( that sounded better in my head!) 
Bookssss
Dark chocolate
Fresh flowers
Shopping for hijabs and co ordinating them with clothes- so much fun
Library cafe – ( I wish we had them in Pakistan, any potential investors there , I'm looking at u

Travel diaries III

Before I continue with part 3 of travel diaries, discussing Kashmir in all its magnificient beauty, I took some help from Wikipedia  so that you can understand the region better. While Kashmir is disputed, each region is described as part of the country which has  de facto  control.  Pakistan has Gilgit Baltistan & Azad Kashmir region.  Azad Kashmir has a population of four million. It is a self-governing territory controlled by Pakistan. It borders the Indian-controlled state of Jammu and Kashmir to the east (separated from it by the military control line between the Indian and Pakistani-controlled parts of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir "Line of Control"). A devastating earthquake hit Azad Kashmir in 2005 centered near the city of Muzaffarabad. It was the eighteenth deadliest earthquake of all time and aid teams from around the world came to the affected region to assist in relief. ( more on the earthquake later). There's no railway...

Muslimah 101

As Muslims in general ,and Muslim women in particular , we exist in a system that's a totally different ballgame. I recently came across this article " How will you find a husband as an ambitious ,Muslim woman" and I just went, THIS!! ( Yeah I know I love myself too for being so expressive!) These are some lines quoted from the said article. " There’s this idea that when a woman gets married, she must be willing to forgo her career and ambition and take a step down or a step back. This idea frankly outrages me and what upsets me and needs to change is the fact that women are so accepting of it, largely out of fear and just putting it down to cultural norms. I’m not saying every woman should want to I’m just saying it should be a genuine choice." Working women with high aspirations are seen as disruptors to the whole story book nuclear family in particular to within the minority ethnic groups. But his point was really on the lines of if you’re an ove...

When life gives you Lululemons- book review

Hey you guys! today I'm reviewing When life gives you Lululemons by Lauren WeisBerger, as I somewhat promised on Instagram two days ago. Kris Berger is the author of the infamous The Devil wears Prada. I tried to review it with as less amount of spoilers as possible, but still, spoiler alert ( no major ones though). This story revolves around Emily who you know from the Devil wears Prada, as the ex personal assistant to  Miranda Preistly, legendary fashion editor of The Runway magazine, now running her own image consultant business boasting a roster of some high profile Hollywood celebs. Emily has zero filter whatsoever and at times you will find her blurting out the most outrageous things that you were thinking about!  She has found herself in the suburbs- desperate, but why?  Karolina- a previously world famous model and former face of Loreal- now  wife of a US senator with aspirations for being the country's  president in the near future . Miriam ,wh...
