A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w30

This weekend I binged watched a lot of YouTube stand-up comedy acts. I read much less this week. Let me try to blame other factors. Workload is increasing. Commute time is increasing and I don’t feel like reading when it is raining cats and dogs outside; when there is bumper to bumber traffic on the…

Book Promotion: Uff Haniya

Title Uff Haniya (A Muslim Family Drama and Romantic Comedy) Summary We hear what we want to hear. We see what we want to see. We remember what we want to remember. Often, we hear from others’ ears. We see through others’ eyes. We remember what others want us to remember. But the truth can…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w29

This weekend I binged watched an old Disney show, review coming up soon. I try, every month, to clear my TBR on GoodReads. I keep on adding more to the list, tch. I read Amal Unbound, finally. It has been sitting on my TBR for a year, literally! I had added it on June 27,…

Rain, where have you disappeared?

It is extremely hot these days. I mean, it is worse than May, which is supposed to be the hottest. It rained daily for the first two weeks of July. But for past ten days, it is either dry or very little rain. The weather is humid and suffocating. It is extra difficult for me…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w28

This week, I slowed down. Seriously, I put in effort to slow down. I read only two books. I tried reading new authors – both were surprisingly nice.  I still crochet one round at a time. Yet again, I am overwhelmed with the number of ideas floating in my head, so much that I cannot…

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w27

The week was crazy. I read around thirty stories of varying length. Some, I have reviewed. Some are pending. Some did not leave any impression and therefore will not be reviewed. My birthday is nearing and I still haven’t worked on the final draft of the novel I wanted to publish on my birthday. I…

12th July 2019: A Day To Remember

So, finally, my blog hits 15000 mark – in terms of visits, of course. It is no big deal, I know. It cannot be called a successful blog. But it was something I was secretly waiting for. There was another thing I dreaded – a day when my KDP report falls flat. It did. In…

Drama Review: Ranjha Ranjha Kardi – Episode #31

Finale Episode, woo hoo! The last episode reiterates that nobody should be between Allah and banda when we ask from Him. And we should ask only from Allah. The conversation between Noori and Fehmeeda, well, more like a monologue was really nicely written and executed. Well done! We need that change in Muslim society. So, Noori refuses to…
