Weekend with friends.. All writers work with the four ‘W’s: “What, When, Where, Why” But when I thought of last week and the weekend, I realized this too had four Ws in it! ….. You see, towards end of any week, one wants to complete everything in order to have a free weekend. Then one …
TDCP Hilltop Resort at Khajut, near Murree.
One of my favorite spots near Islamabad. I’ve been here so often that by now my girls almost hate it. Yet, they will never refuse to go, as it’s a lovely outing for someone living in Islamabad. I love the drive on the Expressway, from Islamabad to 17 km short of Murree. It takes about …

Previously, it was located in houses in F-7. 1n 1981 when my first solo paintings exhibition was held …
Mentors of Art, Wisdom, Spirituality and more!
Why does everything happen together? I mean, there could have been some space in-between – ideally speaking. But that’s life. So, I decided to enjoy it! To start with, my spiritual mentor Mahjabeen had had an operation and was seriously ill. I couldn’t think straight. Just felt like praying for her, that’s all. So, I …
Happy birthday Bilal! :)
Today, a strange thing happened: Nataliya had asked me to make a video for you, for your birthday. Believe me, I made three videos. Each time it would get too long. I was literally flooded with memories…. I was already considering writing a blog post on you. This did it. I realized a two-minute video …
