The week that was: #3

Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. I realized that I ain’t sharing anything about the weekend. That is primarily because my weekends are almost always the same. I do a lot of dusting, cleaning, laundry, and what not. I try to spend some time with my family and also on…

TV Series Review: Part 1 – Kara Para Ask – Season 2 (Turkish)

Background: My sister was watching this series Kara Para Ask on YouTube and recommended it to me. Turkish dramas are long, like really long. The first Turkish series I watched was Fatima Gul. I didn’t finish it, because it just wasn’t ending. The first season got me hooked (read the review here) and I couldn’t…

The week that was: #2

Hello everyone! This is time for a recap of my week. This week started with Monday blues, as always. I had a lot of emails to respond to. It took most of my morning. Most of the rest of the week was spent in fixing two defects. Those defects are random in nature and analyzing…

Book Review: “Yaaram” By Sumaira Hameed

Background: Sometime in 2016, I was addicted to reading all the digests that were published in Pakistan. For us non-Pakistanis, the paksociety website was and is, the treasure – a place where you get most of all Urdu Novels and Digests. The website displays most trending books on the top – and there were only…

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…
