I had planned to write a post celebrating my journey. Today, ‘Uff Yeh Ladki’ completes six months of its digital publish. Instead, here I am. Irony? So what brings me here with a continuation of my old post? Self doubt, of course. I know I shouldn’t; but I do obsess over the ratings and reviews….

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….
Social Media Presence
I had this guy leave me a voice mail at work so I called him at home and then he e-mailed me to my Blackberry and so I texted to his cell and then he e-mailed me to my home account and the whole thing just got out of control. And I miss the days…
Turning a year older
How do I feel? Ecstatic, for a change. For past few birthdays (seven to be precise), I don’t really feel anything. Well, maybe a little bit of sadness that I have not achieved as much as I had dreamt of. This year I feel different. I have finally started writing. I have finally gathered the…

Overcoming Self Doubt
After publishing the post, I kept pondering. After a couple of hours of sulking, I realized that maybe I am not as good as I had hoped. However, I will not get better unless I keep on trying, would I? If I quit, my dreams will forever be buried in my heart. I reopened the…
Self Doubt Week
I just realized that writing fiction in English is more difficult than writing it in Urdu. And writing fiction in English, is not quite the same as writing cynic posts about my opinions and feelings. As I continue with my reading challenge on goodreads, I become more and more apprehended that my content is not…
Book Review: Mohabbat Dil Pe Dastak
I am on a reading spree for past two weeks, and hence not so much of blogging. Last week was a little draining. It was physically exhausting, and left me emotionally vulnerable. I therefore opted for the good old therapy – reading. I don’t recall correctly and I have not kept track. Roughly, I’ve read…
