I focus on the positive aspects of living. I really enjoy the funny side of life, yet love deep, spiritual and thought-provoking aspects too. Mostly, in my posts, I emphasize and appreciate many things we take for granted. Most of my writings are about the day-to-day observations and inspirations. Presently, I am residing in Islamabad.

My life has been shaped by creativity, challenges and moments of growth. I’ve experienced the deep loss of my husband, faced a battle with breast cancer, navigated the journey of recovering from a knee replacement & empty nest. These experiences have taught me resilience and shaped who I am today. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to live in different cities, each adding to my understanding of the world. Despite the hardships, I find immense fulfillment in my philanthropic efforts, channeling my energy into charity work to make a difference in the lives of others. It’s been a journey of learning, adapting, humor and unwavering dedication to the causes I care about most.

Artist

I’ve been painting all my life, with eleven solo exhibitions under my belt and many group shows.

As an artist, I love to share with you paintings, and artistic moments. So naturally, I also like to share any books or literary events that I come across. Main thing is to enjoy this life in spite of all the hazards and hardships that we face. It always pays to focus on the thrills of living, while finding peace within.

I’ve won a second prize in all Pakistan Allama Iqbal competition from Allama Iqbal Academy, Lahore, in 2003. As an artist, my tenth solo exhibition in Rawalpindi Arts Council, Pakistan, was held on November 9th, 2006 it was based on Iqbal’s poetry. I’ve participated in many national exhibitions and one international in Shipkala, Bangladesh, 1980. I’ve illustrated two Islamiat books for schools in 1999.
