The week that was: #3

Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. I realized that I ain’t sharing anything about the weekend. That is primarily because my weekends are almost always the same. I do a lot of dusting, cleaning, laundry, and what not. I try to spend some time with my family and also on…

My fashion statement

The fashion scene has changed dramatically. The e-tailer websites run one promotion or the other throughout the year. Local manufacturers produce lookalike or knock-off designer wear with cheap material and at low cost I bought a sweater top in 2014 winters. I had an awkward moment in cafeteria when I saw another woman wearing the…

The week that was: #2

Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. This week started with Monday blues, as always. I had a lot of emails to respond to. It took most of my morning. Most of the rest of the week was spent in fixing two defects. Those defects are random in nature and analyzing…

I am glad that I don’t drive

Today it took me one hour and forty-five minutes to get to office, thanks to the traffic. No, I wasn’t driving. The commute still left me tired. I felt bad for the office cab’s driver. He, and his fellow drivers have a tough job. I take this moment to thank them. True, they are just…

The week that was: #1

Good morning all! This is time for a recap of my week. This week was pretty dull. The offsite trip was exhausting and even on Monday morning, I felt tired. But coming to office was must – we have senior director visiting us from the US of A. The next day, I couldn’t drag myself…

Dear Google: Happy 20th

Good morning all! The first thing I do after login to my work computer is open a new tab in Google Chrome. Okay, that is not what I do. I check my emails, to find if anything needs immediate attention and then I open a new tab in Google Chrome. I have plenty of things…

Should authors review other authors’ books?

I am not an author in the strict sense, as I have no paperbacks published yet. All my work is digitally published. But I am a reader. I haven’t read thousands of books, but I read. Of late, after discovering the world of Goodreads, I am reading happily because I can read and write a…

What’s wrong with this photo?

  We have an invite from HR for some family time. The invite contained this artwork, and it ticked me off. I see something terribly wrong in this photo. Can you see that too? Shabana Mukhtar Email || Blog || Goodreads || Facebook || Amazon
