Has anyone participated in P2P2019? I am hoping to, but I don’t have much time, despite sleeping lesser than usual. Weather is flutuating like anything and it adds to the irritation. Work was hectic, but TGIF. How was your week? Edited: WordPress just informed me that this is my 500th post. :O Shabana Mukhtar

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w36
This week was short, as Thursday was a holiday for us. It doesn’t mean that I got to rest all day. Staying home on a week day reminds me of all the pendings chores that need to be taken care of, and… well, let’s just say it was exhausting. I got to sleep two more…

It’s Friday, Yippie! What a crazy week it has been. Work, work and more work. I didn’t publish anything in August. September looks to be the same. I have not read anything, ANYTHING, except Haalim’s last episode, review to come soon. How was your week? Shabana Mukhtar

A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w34
This week was 0% productive in terms of writing because I dedicated 100% to office work; and some stuff at home that I have been procrastinating for months. My YouTube videos binge watching spree continues. And, I have stumbled upon a fabulous song – ‘Ae Watan’ from Raazi, for the first time. It has been…

This week was a 50% anxiety and 50% boredome. I am back to Pune, and back to office. Since Monday morning, the butterflies in my stomach started going crazy until I reached my Pune abode on Wednesday morning. The thought of travelling makes me anxious, even though it is from one home to another. Does…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w32
I was home for the entire week and it was awesome. I tried finishing the story that was slated to be published in August. I noticed some plotholes and decided to rework some bits. Then, I changed my mind. I don’t think I am publishing anything this month. I have read some Urdu stories, but…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w31
I am going home tomorrow, insha’allah. I was in bad mood mostly, as I shared yesterday about the stupid pressure of working from home on a weekend. I didn’t read anything. If i did, I don’t recall much. The temperature is dropping as monsoon continues. Instead of finishing the cardigan, I have shelved it completely….
Do you like giving your personal time for office work?
I am not being very picky when I say this, but I don’t like spending my personal time for office work. I cannot help if my train of thought diverts to ponder about a design related decision or a defect. I don’t mind staying late once or twice in a week, after office-hours. But that’s…
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…
