Here’s mine. What an amazing way to pay tribute to Alan Kurdi, and to the many refugee children who are caught in the trap of homelessness. It’s unimaginable what they are going through and the efforts required to rebuild their lives for a better future. “Sea Prayer” made me play a small part in redefining…

Last weekend, after lunch I stopped by the Belgian Waffle to buy waffles for my niece and nephew. Going through the menu and deciding what to buy is always a pain with the fancy names. So I decided to go by the pictures and whatever looked best. Since it was a takeaway, I had to…

An off from work on a weekday is truly a bliss. I slept like a log the entire day. It’s when I woke up in the evening, I realized how much I was deprived of sleep. I made myself some coffee and as usual sat down to relax in my small balcony garden. It was…

If you believe in angels, they are around you in the form of your close friends and family and so is the belief in evil. A human has the potential to bring out both either the best or the worst in you. That’s why it becomes so important to surround ourselves with people who can…

This one came up in my Facebook memory. I had shared a post by someone. Thought it’s a good way to begin our day. 🙂 🌸

Can’t believe it’s the last day of the month. I’ve always felt this slow pace in the first six months of the year. The second half just flies with so many festivals, public holidays and many occasions to celebrate. 🎉 And now, I’m already waiting for Christmas 🤶 🎄 This month, I plan to read…

I always love getting into conversations with my 4 year old niece because of her cute and unfiltered responses. Last time we met, I got to learn from her that brain is in the stomach. I couldn’t stop myself from 😂 😂. But seriously thinking about it now, makes me feel, life would have been…

Last month I got an opportunity to participate in several events organized as part of our company’s Community Impact Month. One of which was a session for the budding women entrepreneurs from rural background. The objective was to provide them an overview on the ways they could promote their products through e-commerce. There was an…

I crossed 300+ followers today. I don’t like using the word “followers” because everyone here is definitely a trendsetter with their unique stories and content. I am really thankful to all my readers and a special mention to the ones who have taken time to not just read but also encouraging me with their kind…

The third and the final one. I’m inspired by everything that has an Arab touch to it so naturally music 🎶 comes first. One beautiful Arabic song that I came across a few months ago is “Be yourself – Kun aanta” by Humood. Do watch the video until the end. You would love it. 😍…

From my childhood, I’ve always been a dreamer and there has been no control over things that I accomplish in those dreams. Maybe that’s why the first time I heard the song, “I have a dream”, it made my belief and reasons to dream even stronger. So here it goes: “I have a dream, a…

How many times in our lives do we end up in a situation, where we are compelled to think, “Wait, do I deserve this? What wrong have I done to anyone? I’ve always been kind to people and their needs, why can’t they think like me?” How many times? I think the answer is, each…

Me: Why do I always have to face difficulties? There are people who have no struggles in life and they are free to choose a life of their choice. Her: I don’t care what others do. If your life is a struggle, I’ll be proud of you because that is what will make you stronger,…

This was indeed enough for me to feel good about my decision to let them stay. Building a home within a home!

For me this was an experience of a lifetime. Out of nowhere there was this person whom I was recently talking to, in front of me.

Is a place and time like this.. Nothing to feel stressed about, no reason to rush.. Just stay still and enjoy the moment..

It’s about time for the weekend to end and I can’t really wait for the next one. Sometimes I feel as if I’m only living to enjoy weekends 😀 This month had been an active one for me as I got some time to write and post them here. If you haven’t got a chance…

Ramadan is my favorite time of the year just like Christmas, Easter or Diwali. No. No. I’m not disclosing my faith here. I’m just about to share my story with one of them. My love for Azaan began when I was in school. Next to our school, was a big mosque. It stood tall and…

Just a few hours ago, I posted my blog on the Liebster Award. Now, I am so pleased to write a post on “The Blogger Recognition Award”. The only difference is that I’m self-nominating myself 😛 because I was nominated for something else by a very creative and dear writer PoeticBells but I accidentally wrote…

Now that I have started writing, I still can’t believe in those two words “I write”. A year back, it never seeped into my mind to start writing. And now, with every new post of my mine I can see myself improving gradually. I’m not competing with the world. I’m competing with myself. There is…

Yes, that’s right. Alladin’s magic lamp from Arabian nights. The lamp that comes with a bonus of a genie that can fulfill your wish. The lamp that I bought as a souvenir from my trip to Dubai. Now, peacefully resting on my desk, Shining all the time. Everyone who stops by my desk, Can’t control…

It’s the end of the day. I am on my way home, after work. Holding my phone, wondering what should I write? Somedays when I am not prepared I’ve noticed that so much of thoughts and ideas run through my mind on my next blog post. But often I regret for not having a book…

No, not yet. I’ve being waiting but haven’t been nominated for “Quote of the day challenge”. 🙂 Although, I do wanted to share this quote from a book that I’ve being reading, “Wonder” by R. J. Palacio. It’s kind of interesting why I chose to pick this book for my to-be-read list. I was in…

A short story by O’Henry. This was also a part of our English curriculum. My memories as a student have always been vague as I was never interested in studies. Surprisingly, there are a couple of stories from the English textbooks that I can recall. I would rather say, I don’t just recall but also…

At 8.00 a.m. in the morning, we had to be ready for the assembly that started with prayers followed by announcements, news and prayer requests. I remember being dropped by our school bus half an hour early to the school time that allowed us to take copies from our friends to finish our homework before…

For those who have already viewed my post “A conversation“, I have tried to come up with the French version of the same. Being a beginner in French, I am trying to put this more into practice so I don’t forget what I learnt. But I’ll be honest, I had to take help from Google…

Mom: Net isn’t working? Whom do you think you are trying to fool. I can see you post daily on Facebook.. Commenting on the pages of political parties.. But, why are you following these pages.. Why don’t you keep yourself away from all this? I want you to focus on your studies.

Thus, it’s important that we keep ourselves in the “listen only mode” in order to observe the beauty of people who are a part of our lives and not overlook any cues that are unintentionally given to us expressing their love and care.

Few major developments in both my personal and professional life has been keeping me away from the little bit of writing that I used to do. Apart from this, I recently joined an NGO. To be a part of an NGO was always a dream which has now started becoming a reality. My schedules including…

I am back after a short break and I was pleasantly surprised to be nominated by my fellow blogger, Bhavana. I have come across many blog posts where people get nominated for awards but never did I think of myself getting nominated for one. I am really grateful to Bhavana for this nomination and encouragement.…
