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…

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,…

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…

Achhuuuu… I got flu last Friday and still haven’t recovered. Coming to office with dripping nose and watery eyes is not fun, trust me. Work was okay. I had a demo this week and it went well. I have read a lot this week, especially yesterday. I started an English novel The Captive by M V…

The monsoon begins and so does the phase of lethargy. I mean, I just don’t want to step out of my bed, let alone stepping out and coming to office. Argh! I don’t have that luxury, though. I envy those who work from home. I wish I had some other profession that required staying in…

This is the second week post vacation and life has returned to the old track – boring, tiring and irritating routine track. I am on on-call support this week, that means leaving the house at 8:30 AM sharp, and returning by or after 8:30 PM. Being on-call constantly keeps me on my toes. I don’t…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w23
Being back at work sucks, literally! I had hoped, much like I do every time I take a vacation, that the break will rejuvenate me and make me like my job more. It DIDN’T. Let me rephrase that. I don’t hate my job. I am just perpetually tired, and the to-and-fro work feels more exhausting…
A Retrospective: The week that was – 19w22
This week was a much awaited vacation at home for Eid celebrations. The three days of Ramadan were a blur. All I remember is now terribly hot it was (46 degrees Celsius, folks). True to my expectations, the moon was sighted on 29th of Ramadan. I stayed awake all night, not much by choice because…
Eid Ul Fitr 2019: Let the celebrations begin
Eid Mubarak one and all! May Allah bless us all with many more Ramadans and Eids. It started on Tuesday evening with a a debate between me and my siblings. I was sure that the moon will be sighted and Eid will be celebrated on 5th. Everybody opposed it. Two hours later, I was laughing…
