Happy birthday, dad! Yep, it is my father’s 72nd birthday. Alright, so it is 1st of July; half the year has gone by, and I have no clue where it went. I feel that each passing year goes by faster than the previous one. Is it me or do you all feel the same? June…

I am a fairly opinionated person, but people request me to not be honest. I still need a place to voice my opinions, don’t I? These posts are primarily for venting out the frustration. Occasionally, I may share joyous and pleasant news, too.

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w24
This is the second week post vacation and life has returned to the old track – boring, tiring and irritating routine track. I am on on-call support this week, that means leaving the house at 8:30 AM sharp, and returning by or after 8:30 PM. Being on-call constantly keeps me on my toes. I don’t…
Movie Review: Load Wedding
Review I watched this movie in April, only to kill time and had no intentions of writing a post about it. But then, I had a nagging feeling that I am forgetting something. The movie was released on Eid-ul-Adha 2018. It is a romantic social comedy, something the director-writer duo Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza have…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w23
Being back at work sucks, literally! I had hoped, much like I do every time I take a vacation, that the break will rejuvenate me and make me like my job more. It DIDN’T. Let me rephrase that. I don’t hate my job. I am just perpetually tired, and the to-and-fro work feels more exhausting…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w22
This week was a much awaited vacation at home for Eid celebrations. The three days of Ramadan were a blur. All I remember is now terribly hot it was (46 degrees Celsius, folks). True to my expectations, the moon was sighted on 29th of Ramadan. I stayed awake all night, not much by choice because…
Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2
Review I have heard people say that sequel ruins the original. It really did in this case. The sequel in my opinion was made just for the heck of it, just to cash the success of immensely popular season 1. The storyline did not have substantial scope to continue. The season begins exactly from where…
Eid Ul Fitr 2019: Let the celebrations begin
Eid Mubarak one and all! May Allah bless us all with many more Ramadans and Eids. It started on Tuesday evening with a a debate between me and my siblings. I was sure that the moon will be sighted and Eid will be celebrated on 5th. Everybody opposed it. Two hours later, I was laughing…
Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 29
Review The episode opens with a hospital scene. Later, Maina asks Meetho to forget her and she cannot go against Daarji’s will. Arsal and Jia have a heart to heart conversation without getting loud, which was a surprise. Best moment was when Agha Ji brought up a valid point – if Dariya Khan and Jalal…
Drama Review: Suno Chanda Season 2 – Episode 28
Review Today’s episode was fun, after a long time. Daarji and Moray, Maina’s grandfather and mother respectively, visit Karachi. Daarji is quite an item. He flirts openly with Bi Jaan, making Agha Ji uncomfortable and jealous. At one point, Bi Jaan announces that Agha Ji is her kids’ elder uncle. The subtle rivalry between Agha Ji…
