A little late on Ramadan!

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned… sometimes?  No, most of the time would be a better use here. There are a lot of things to be said and discussed but, once you get a platform to voice them, suddenly they stop coming. Frustrating! Same thing happens here, now beyond that is a blog all the voices that made it so amazing sounds feeble to me. Maybe, it’s Ramadan and that’s why! I am more concentrated towards other duties that I have to perform. Anyway, let’s talk about the Holy Month of RAMADAN. It all about not eating and drinking from Suhoor (sehri) to Iftaar (iftari). It also abstaining from all haram things and some halal things as well. It is us preparing for the coming months to be better Muslims. It is about being concerned towards those who are in this hunger state for all year. Now, to make most of your time, plan accordingly! Heavy work should be done after iftari. And light work and all pray and recite Quran should be during your roza. Drink a lot of water d

SUNDAY 'BACHAT' BAZAARS

Once upon a time, when the actual bazaars were starting to charge higher prices, in Phase 8, the Sunday bazaar took place which provided all kinds of actual and 2 nd hand materials in affordable price. The price was so affordable that soon all the housewives and children would badger their husbands and fathers to give up there Sundays in order to soak in sun and drench in sweat to either get a branded bag more than half the price of actual or buy sneakers in ‘almost’ free pricing strategy! Soon, the popularity were such that not only you could get branded and foreign stuff, you could get the ‘Pakistani’ stuff easily too. The sales man put stalls of carpet to cutlery and anything to everything could be found there. Such was the vibe that it was made into a proper market. When at first you get all dirty and sweaty, they made lanes and benches and food court for people to enjoy. When you first don’t even bathe when coming to Sunday bazaars because you would anyway get dirty, people

It's all about Books.

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies." George Martin. He says it right. For me, it's a door way to that world I am reading. It is so amazing to be anyone and be anything you wish for. It is like you live with them. And a picture starts playing in your mind as the story unfolds. True Believer by Nicholas Sparks  Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.  My two favorite books to read. Sometimes, when I feel like nothing is interesting enough to do. I read these. They never bore me. What Is so Interesting about them? Well, its the fact that i find history of Illuminati quite interesting and true believer just makes me realize that there are so many places people can find. just simply find magic in simple places. What's Left Us by Aislinn Hunter. When Breathe Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi These are the two books, I am currently reading. What's left us is a collection of short stories and a nov

Caught Up In A Whirlpool...

Sometimes, you are so caught up in up your own mind that even small things either upset you or make you want to quit. Not life! Just quit as in you know how we shut down the computer/laptop so they could cool down and relax. That kind of quitting! I always wonder about the fact that why are we answerable to other people. We do have our own life, don’t we? OK, be answerable to your mother, father, and siblings or spouse because they tend to care. But, why all other? People are so naïve that they don't look beyond past them. And neither have they looked into themselves nor what they are doing. But, they need to criticize. On you, on your looks, on your ways and all. they cannot move without it. No! Who gave them the right to judge people? May be I do that too. May be I judge people too and make comments about them. I do. But, there is a fine line between shaming and commenting. Like complimenting or sarcastic complimenting. We are all like this but then why we all should
