Intro Every month, I try to post a roundup of everything I wrote/read/watched that month. This year, I’m starting another series to post about planned reads and actual reads. Kinda like office, y’know, setup goals for the year and then year-end assessment of where I was. Just trying to be more disciplines, is all. (And…

Random Rambling | Amazon Categories
Here’s a random rambling for today, because… why not? I was innocently browsing through Amazon’s Short Stories category the other day — not for research, not for literary enlightenment, but for something far more noble. I was trying to bulk-up my Goodreads 2026 Reading Challenge. (P.S I’ve planned to read 30 books this year. I…
Friday Frenzies | First of 2026
TGIF! Frenzy is absolutely justified, right? It’s Friday, the last working day. I have the weekend, followed by two days PTO. I’m super stoked. This week was crazy. Even though many team members were on vacation, my life wasn’t easy as I was supposed to finish an epic. With age, I’m becoming more forgetful about…
Pakistani Dramas and I | The Breakup Phase

Thursday Thrills | Party to Banti Hai

وہ کہنا یہ تھا کہ۔۔۔ اگر آپ نے آٹھ دس ہزار کی فلائٹ کی ٹکٹ بک کر لی ہے تو سفر کے لیے ۱۰۰-۲۰۰ کے ہیڈ فونز بھی خرید لیے ہوتے۔ آپ کو فارورڈ آئے ہوئے واہیات ویڈیوز کو فل والیوم میں سننے کا باقی مسافروں کو کوئی شوق نہیں ہے۔ ویسے بھی عموماً ڈومیسٹک…
The Year That Was 2025
Yearly recap of 2025, because why not? Wrote Almost Nothing One novel and two short stories under my name, nothing under any other pen names. That’s all wrote this year. Reasons not to be disclosed. So Out of My League After the Bell Rain Because I wrote very little, I earned very little as royalty….
