I joined NaNoWriMo

That’s right folks. Trying hard to recover from self doubt attack and shrug off the negativity, I was on my regular intake of ‘social media scroll through’ spree when I saw NaNoWriMo. This rang a bell somewhere in my head but I couldn’t recall. After following a series of links, I joined in. In fact,…

Book Review: Alif – Episode #4 (By Umera Ahmed)

The fourth episode is out already and I am two days late. I am living in a parallel universe these days. *** The fourth episode starts with a letter from Abdul Alaa to Husn-e-Jehan. There is a mystery and both Abdul Alaa and Husn-e-Jehan are apologetic to each other. The mystery is just as annoying…

The week that was: #4

Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. There was no new episode of Coke Studio. I wasn’t very excited to review, either. My weekend was horrible cuz I got a one star rating for one of my novellas and a trashy review. *sobbing* The rest of the weekend was doing regular…

Drama Review: Dil Mom Ka Diya (Episode 19)

Dil Mom Ka Diya, drama is directed by Shahid Shafat, airing on ARY Digital. The drama has been written by our very own Saira Raza. I have not read much written by her. But whatever I have, I have been immensely entertained. Read the review of previous episodes. 1-12 Episode  13-14 episode  15-16 episode  17th…

Drama Review: Lashkara

Lashkara, drama by Zafar Mairaj, on ARY Digital. It is a clichéd triangular love story, yet set in a non clichéd background. Rafeeque likes Bubly, and sunny likes bubbly. Bubbly likes sunny, but not very seriously. And they are surrounded by family members and characters, and each one is having their own selfish motive. What…

Kids and Parents

Kids are small bundles of joy (and trouble). I am not a parent, but I have been with enough kids to know how a parent ‘may’ feel. I have been blessed… correction. My sisters have been blessed with three sons, and a son and a daughter respectively. For me, I have four beautiful (and crazy)…

Self Doubt 2.0

I had planned to write a post celebrating my journey. Today, ‘Uff Yeh Ladki’ completes six months of  its digital publish. Instead, here I am. Irony? So what brings me here with a continuation of my old post? Self doubt, of course. I know I shouldn’t; but I do obsess over the ratings and reviews….
