Hi, Everyone! Probably, the most painful thing about any life changing event is the void that is created. A void is a real part of our lives. It keeps happening from time to time. It can happen even without a life changing event, but usually with a sad or happy change in one’s life. The …
Feeling sad
Hi, Everyone! Hope you all are well, alive and kicking. Well, I’m that too, but as you know, my black cocker spaniel Pepper is lost, and I’m very sad. Honestly, he would keep me so much company and give me so much love. Such a sweet personality. My only hope is that he is alive …
Build fresh memories
Salaams Everyone, Isn’t it great that after going through this horrid Covid19 (and we are still in it,) a semblance of ‘normal’ life has returned? It feels good to see more cars on the roads.

Take a break consciously
Salams, Eid greetings and Hi! In a way, celebrating Eid with family and friends is also a way of taking a break.

Enjoying the fruits of labor!
Hi, Salaams, Good morning and Namaste to all! It is so funny, people saying that I’ll feel lonely and sad due to departure of my youngest daughter after her marriage. It was my greatest wish to see her settled happily in her own home in my lifetime. So, when Allah grants my wish, I’m so …
Remember the journey…
Assalam o Alaikum, to all! ? Today, this post has taken on a special meaning for myself too. I’ve realized how important it is to be kind to yourself in this world where everyone has harsh expectations from you. So much so, that you too start bashing yourself up for all that you didn’t achieve; …
