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…
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.
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
What is the worst part of your job?
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…
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…
