This one is simple and perfect to give me the much needed kick after every failure. Iss Tarh Tay Ki Hain Hum Ne Manzilein Gir PaRe, Gir Kar uThhey, uThh Kar Chaley اس طرح طے کی ہیں ہم نے منزلیں گر پڑے۔۔ گر کر اٹھے۔۔ اٹھ کر چلے۔۔ My humble attempt at translation: The way…

I am glad that I don’t drive
Today it took me one hour and forty-five minutes to get to office, thanks to the traffic. No, I wasn’t driving. The commute still left me tired. I felt bad for the office cab’s driver. He, and his fellow drivers have a tough job. I take this moment to thank them. True, they are just…
Tips to replenish your wardrobe at zero cost
I ain’t much into fashion. I wear what I’m comfortable with. I still replenish my wardrobe every six months. I don’t shop from malls anymore. I stopped about four years ago. Even branded clothes are easily affordable nowadays and people look like clones – wearing the similar outfit; sporting the similar hairstyles; showing off similar…
Crooning Techies: The Novel
Each day, I am taking baby steps towards achieving my passion for writing. My journey for indie author is taking baby steps as well. My first full length novel is 80 percent done, and there is another 80 percent remaining. Just like my journey, I am phasing out the publishing process too. I would prefer…
Review: Speak Your Heart with Sameena Peerzada
The show was earlier titled as Rewind with Sameena Peerzada. But there is nothing to review about that. Both titles work just fine. The show has so far brought a diverse range of guests.

Book Announcement: Tales of Software Engineers
What’s the opposite of ‘writers block’? I have been through the phase where I just can’t come up with anything. No ideas, no words, not even the passion to write. And then there is this phase where I’m swamped with ideas. Too many of them. And I don’t have enough time to work on those….

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…
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…
