What do you believe?

I think about my beliefs and wonder who I would be if I didn’t live where I do and didn’t have the experiences I have had.  Would I believe in the same things as I do now? Would I love the things I do now and hate the same things?  These are all debates we have with ourselves, our surroundings, and our environment. It’s good to seek answers. The fact is, I have no idea who I’d be if my…

My Return, Every Time

“Liberty or Death” Whenever I return to the U.S., I’m told I’m returning to much change. There might be a lot going on internally—I don’t mean domestic politics but in people’s hearts. However, on the surface, everything seems as it always has.  I’ve been asked to talk and write about how this Republican and Trump Presidency will change our world. The problem is we, in Pakistan,  are too far…

I Voted

This is being sold on Etsy for $4. It’s supposed to be funny. It’s not. Completely accurate though. There was a time when I was proud of belonging to two of the greatest countries. Pakistan has always been a country of resilient people, we have come out on top no matter what the circumstances. The United States, well that was the country that accepted me even with all its racism, xenophobia,…

Definition of Beauty Standards

Classic American Beauty Classic Pakistani Beauty A set of values applied to the appearance of both men and women to be regarded as beautiful and handsome in order to rightly fit in the community. What community? What society? Has anyone ever wondered that? That’s why it’s so hard to answer this question that I asked in my video. There are so many beauty standards. Which we one do we, me,…

The Future is…

Not a big fan of hers but what she’s saying here makes a lot of sense. We have to stop this tug-of-war with our counter parts. This doesn’t mean we stop fighting for women’s rights. This doesn’t mean we stop standing up when men are pushing us down and away. This doesn’t mean we don’t fight for ourselves and for those who are hurting us and our sisters. This just means we recognize the good…

Eid Day

Me my children and husband This is me. This is my little family. We spent time with my extended family on Eid. My kids got to play with their cousins. We talked about nothing and everything for hours. We drank tea, and coffee when we probably should have been in bed. Me with my cuties Sounds like I’m describing a regular get-together. I’m not though. People matter. Everything can disappear in…

All Eyes On Rafah

How often do we have to say enough before we stop this? How many more horrible images do we have to endure before we believe when we say never again? We winder if the Zionists realize that they are strengthening the will to fight back by their barbarism. They know. That is the purpose. As long as there is resistance they have a reason to attack and keep comitting genocide. We stand beside…

Legacies Die with the Dead

Me with my siblings Since my dad’s passing, I’ve been hearing what a legend he was. He was—no room for doubt in that. Unfortunately, as is the case with most legends, his legacy has died with him. I respected him, of course, as my father and a man with ambition and conviction, sometimes to his own material loss. This part I never disagreed with. Please stand up and make people take seats when it…

Save Our Shopping

I know we talk about not having or not having big enough pockets in female clothing. Here is another issue I’ve come across recently.   Wallets. Have you tried to look for small wallets for women only for a few cards and small amount of cash? You might find some, but it is really really hard. I eventually bought something from the men’s section.  Men’s small wallet. I bought something similar…

Zionist Ally in South Asia

Ret. Major Gen. Gagan Deep Bakhshi of the Indian Military and Indian American author and intellectual Rajiv Malhotra discussing China and Pakistan relations. I didn’t hear anything about the said topic to phone home about; however, I have been noticing that the Indian government, analysts, and just about every noise coming out of our neighboring country is brazenly claiming that Pakistan as a…

People of Power

Was it really about blasphemy? Was it really about not knowing what those Arabic words meant? How many of those men knew how to read Urdu? Could we take a quick survey? That garment had a total of 2 to 3 words.You want us to believe these so-called keepers of the Quran and sunnah can’t read words such as حلوہ. Explain to me how they confused it with an Ayah of the Quran. Alright, okay, that…

Witness

Look at the bright side; the elections took place eventually. Jinnah’s nation came out in huge numbers and showed the powers what we wanted. Every time someone tries to keep us down or hold us back trying to tell us what we should or should not do we show them what we want and why we are not about to back down from a fight if need be.Keep showing up. Our Quaid has given us what we need. We all…

Stories in My Head

Forever writing stories in my head   There is beauty in those stories. There is calm where I am in my stories. Pain melts away with peace and warmth of touch. Sometimes, it feels as though it’s wrong of me to want that. But these are my stories. No one has to know what I’m doing. No one has to know I’m allowing myself to be happy. I will only be satisfied for a moment. Then, I will write a…

My Update

So I want to quickly tell you what’s going on in my head these days. An update on my life if you will, that you didn’t ask for, but I feel you want.My kid has been busy with a project of making book marks. They are supposed to sell them or has already sold them, I don’t know. All I know is he loved doing it. Why is that important to mention? Life is made up of small moments. The bookmark says:…

The Generation is not Taking Hostages

I don’t know if this is just a conspiracy theory or the truth. He is however right about Isreals intelligence service and its Army. Did you also know that every Israeli citizen has to go through mandatory combat training? So, practically every adult living there is a soldier. Please Google this information. They are surrounded by Muslim nations, if they didn’t take their security extremely…
