Enjoying the changing patterns of life

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018February 29, 2016Leave a Comment on Enjoying the changing patterns of life

Going with the flow, and learning to enjoy it. As a kid, climbing trees and roofs was my passion. I absolutely loved it. The moment we came to a new house (my father, being in the army, we shifted to many places….) I’d size up the roof. The trees outside were checked out for ease …

Forgiving one’s own self

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018February 16, 2016Leave a Comment on Forgiving one’s own self

Do these following remarks seem familiar? “I’m always making a fool of myself!” “Mein to hoon hi aisi!”  (I am like this!) “Meray saath to hamesha aisa hi hota hai, kiyon keh mein itni bay waqoof hoon!” (This always happens with me, because I’m such a stupid fool!) “Idiot” “Total nut case!” These are a …

A Writer’s work!

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018February 7, 2016Leave a Comment on A Writer’s work!

  Its about my experiences as a published writer of features for newspapers and magazines …..               I always thought that what you read in an article is exactly how the writer planned it. It isn’t. In fact many a times when a writer sees his or her work in print – it comes as a …

        These days, I’m making another one of my dreams come true. Attending art classes by the world famous artists of Pakistan: Mansoor Rahi and Hajra Mansoor. Their art classes are like getting a ‘two in one’ deal! The moment I enter the class I feel quite happy to have made the …

Ideas on art and its value.

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018January 30, 2016Leave a Comment on Ideas on art and its value.

An article written in 1996 printed in Dawn’s Sunday Magazine, now I’m sharing it with you after updating it.  Only a few years ago, if someone had said I was going to be a writer, I’d say ‘Me, a writer? Never! I am only an artist. And an artist cannot write – she paints!’  But …

How to forgive?

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018January 28, 2016Leave a Comment on How to forgive?

  Now comes the hard part of life. Learning to forgive those who have harmed you or tried to! All my life, I’ve tried to be a forgiving person. But sometimes, some people really do some very unforgivable things to you, and that too, deliberately, with the desire to inflict pain and hurt. Due to …

Fight your way out of Depression

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on November 14, 2018January 25, 2016Leave a Comment on Fight your way out of Depression

(This article was published in Woman’s Own Magazine from Karachi, Pakistan, in June 2011.) I’ve just updated this article while posting it for you. Recently, I met a lovely young girl who mentioned that she was depressed for three years. This inspired me to re-write this article and put it on my blog, just for …

Put your loved ones in ‘To do’ list

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018January 22, 2016Leave a Comment on Put your loved ones in ‘To do’ list

“Take care!” we end most conversations meaning, take care of yourself. You won’t be happy if you don’t ‘take care’ of your loved ones too. But you can’t do that if you don’t put them in your ‘to do’ list. That is what this blog is all about. “Darling, I don’t have time, too much …

Relationships – a time to move on ….

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on May 19, 2018January 19, 2016Leave a Comment on Relationships – a time to move on ….

We are constantly growing… no matter what age we are. And in the same way every relationship we are in, is also growing. We are constantly in a state of movement. A state of motion or lagging behind in some way or the other. Look closely, your relationship with your father, mother, sisters, brothers, boss, …

  • After iftari family time. Some moments are so ordinarily extraordinary.  It is these moments that need to be cherished. Later in life one remembers these very moments which we used to take for granted. Being together at the end of the say. Exchanging views and the days' events in each one's life. Alhamdolillah.
