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…

Thursday Thrills | Party to Banti Hai
This week was crazy. This year was crazier. Maybe, someday, when I have the time and patience, I’ll write all about it (I have notes, y’know) but not today, not for a foreseeable future. The Invitation So, I was racing against time to finish things, last day and all (for the deliverable, nothing to do…
Thursday Thrills | Merry Xmas
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way. Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey! It is Christmas. The celebration for me is not Christmas but the fact that I got a day off, a day I can use to cross a few items off my never-ending list…
The Result Day
It’s today. On the last day of annual exams, we were told that the results would be announced on May 1st, and that we are to report to our respective classrooms at 7 o’clock. Yesterday, I couldn’t sleep.Was I excited?“Excitement” doesn’t even begin to express how I felt. Today is the result day. I…

This must be the only Eid that I haven’t slept a wink the whole night. Staying through the night to not miss Suhoor is a norm, for years (I’m paranoid)but not for the last day of Ramzan, not for the first day of Shawwal. I sleep for a couple of hours, wake up for…
Dear Diary | Eid Break 2025 | Day 3
I think, I think, that spending the Chand raat doing dusting and cleaning and whatnot is a must. عید کی تیاری یہ نہیں ہوتی کہ علی العشاء نماز پڑھ کر مہندی لگا کر سو گئے اور علی الفجر تیار ہو گئے۔ عید کی تیاری یہ ہوتی ہے کہ اماں کو خوشُ کیا جائے۔ اگر…
Dear Diary | Eid Break 2025 | Day 0
Day 0 Let’s begin with day 0 to be honest. It is not day 1 because being a computer engineer, I start my indexing from zero, not one. Day One would be tomorrow . Today is just the beginning of the Eid break. And it went like this. The Madness This day was a…
