A round up of 2024 here, as most of the time I wasn’t here. Losing my Mother during that time has been the most heart wrenching part of it. Otherwise, God blessed me in every way, as you see.
Ending with sharing of my aspirations for this year 2025. May God bless each of you and myself, along with our families. May our dreams come true. May sanity prevail in the world. It gets pretty scary sometimes. As my mother always said, ‘Life is as you make it!’
Happy new year!
Honestly, seeing the current political scenario in Pakistan, one does feel disheartened. Its sad, but that is how it feels. When all that you have believed in, and all that you’ve lived by is turned upside down. When suddenly black is white and white is black, you wonder where you stand in all this. If …
Writing a blog post in an everchanging scenario is challenging. Yet, I’ve started it, and want to complete it now. It is 11.00 am, Friday 9th of February.

Today, I’m living in a world where my eyes see, but still it is hard to believe. I don’t want to spoil your mood immediately, so I’ll share a ‘good’ unbelievable story first. A few months ago, I saw my female cocker spaniel Duchess actually feeding kittens of a stray tabby. The mother had suddenly …
Honestly, it is our choices and decisions that make us what we are today. So, we must choose wisely. Develop the instinct to make right harmonizing choices. Not choices that take us in all directions. But choices that combine to make a wholesome life for ourselves.
Sharing my thoughts on the current scenario in Pakistan. As they say, ‘this too shall pass.’ We can hope for better times, right now we need to do our best in every way that we can. Here I’ve shown the resilience of Pakistanis in the past, and I’m sure it can help us pass through these times also. It is important to stay strong and be resilient.
