I will share mine. Others can comment. On a particular day, even if I need to take off for being unwell, I can’t. Because the deadlines are so freakin’ stringent that I have to be in office, even if that means that i am sneezing and coughing into others’ space, and my nose is dripping…
Category: Just Saying
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.
Social Media Presence
I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work so I called him at home and then he e-mailed me to my Blackberry and so I texted to his cell and then he e-mailed me to my home account and the whole thing just got out of control. And I miss the days…
I miss my books
Have you ever regretted something you’ve done? Of course, who hasn’t. Last year, I gave away two bags full of books to the neighbourhood library. I had a good collection of Sydney Sheldon and Jeffrey Archer books. And some desi authors. Well almost all of them were Archer. I now regret it. I don’t regret…
To code or not to code?
I never thought I would touch upon this aspect of my life on the blog. Simply because the blog is ‘the other me’. A blog follower contacted me to ask ‘how’ I enjoy coding. The said person is studying programming and can’t seem to enjoy it after three years. Does it sound familiar to all…
Impatience is a virtue
This week a friend of mine asked if he could borrow my treadmill. Wait. That was a horrible start. I have a 4-in-1 manual treadmill. No, I am not linking to any website, as I don’t do affiliate marketing (yet). I used it regularly for first two months. Then scarcely for next couple of months….
Six months into year 2018
This year has been rewarding so far. I started pursuing the life long dream of writing. I am writing a lot this year. And I am reading a lot, a lot more than I write. Well, I have been reading since I was six. And books is all I have, after I’m done with the…
A dissection of “Contemporary Romance Fiction”
I have been reading too many contemporary romance novels these days. I read the reviews by friends on Goodreads. then I read the book. The idea is to understand what people like and dislike in a book. If I have to become an author in this genre, I must have that background. I have read…
Overcoming Self Doubt
After publishing the post, I kept pondering. After a couple of hours of sulking, I realized that maybe I am not as good as I had hoped. However, I will not get better unless I keep on trying, would I? If I quit, my dreams will forever be buried in my heart. I reopened the…
Self Doubt Week
I just realized that writing fiction in English is more difficult than writing it in Urdu. And writing fiction in English, is not quite the same as writing cynic posts about my opinions and feelings. As I continue with my reading challenge on goodreads, I become more and more apprehended that my content is not…
Writers’ Overdose
Continuing on my May reading spree, I finished a few books that I had marked “to read” on Goodreads. Incidentally, most of the ones I completed, were by Umera Ahmad. The stories I finished were: Man o Salwa Band Kiwaro Ke Aage Hum KahaN Kke Sachhe Thhey Koi Baat Hai Teri Baat Mein Kis Jahan…
