Thunder Lightening and the End of the world!


She was in the kitchen and her mother had just come to ask her to do something, her mom said something and went back to the bedroom. Just as her mom walked out of the kitchen, she heard thunder and turned her head to look out the window…

She saw an unbelievable sight, thunder clouds were as low as her second floor window and far into the horizon she could see the sun shining, but the clouds were talking over really fast and they were rumbling and screaming and there was lightening. The darkness was talking over

She turned around and called after her mother ‘Ma!’ she was frightened, she wanted to be with her mother, tell her there’s nothing to worry about and to hear the same! But as she walked towards the door she heard the biggest rumble and turned around to look back at the clouds and she saw it began to rain but when she looked closely it wasn’t water they were icicles. The angry, dark clouds were showering icicles and as she stood mesmerized by the enormity of the situation, everything began to cool down, and within seconds she could feel the temperature fall to an unbearable low. So low that everything around her froze and so did she.

She froze! She felt she was unable to move her arms and legs; all she could do was move her eyes and feel her heart beating and beating so loudly that it was the only thing that seemed to be living and in that moment she realized this is probably the end of the world the last of it. This is probably how the ice age would begin and thousands of years from today someone might discover her standing still buried in ice frozen and chilled!

In that last moment her thought went to her mother next room, she wanted to scream and tell her she loves her but couldn’t as she was frozen. And then lastly her heart new that the next time she opens her eyes she’ll be in front of her Lord accounting for whatever she’s done so she repeated the Qalma 3 times …

And then she woke up from her sleep!

Following the trend I am sharing my list of birthday gifts that I’d love to get this year. For my newer friends who are not fully aware of my brilliance a quick recap; I do this because I’d rather get gifts that I can use and that I need for the time being instead of being showered by lovely gifts that stay sitting and forgotten in the corner of my room somewhere. So to save you effort, time and money here’s my list: Board Games: 1.        Ludo 2.        Scrabble 3.        Bingo Stationary Items: (pictures attached for better understanding ;) ) 1.        Lead pencil/ clutch pencil  2.        Colored Felt pens Books: 1.        Rumi’s Daughter by Muriel Maufroy 2.        The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy 3.        Honor by Elif Shafaq 4.         Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafaq All the Rest:   1.         Bookshelf - (I’ve given this one to Papa  - I believe he’s working on it) 2.         Hand bag - (a woman can never have enou

Sister at Distance

It’s sad to lose your sister to distance; for a person who stays by you day and night, gets married and moves away and then all you are left with is a void. A void that no one else can fill, there are times when you want to share the tiniest of things with her and she’s not around. The only thing that keeps you connected is Whatsapp and Facebook and Instagram. When through social media you are able to keep tabs on her, you know what’s happening in her life, although you want to be part of everything that happens in her life you realize that that’s never going to happen and you just have to distance yourself from her, because her priorities in life have changed, she’s got another family to take care of and your own urgencies can wait. You will continue to be a part of her life that has taken a cyclone turn and although you’re glad you’re not part of the whirlpool, you’re a sidelined spectator watching her from a distance. Our connection now just remains limited to the mobile

Cafe Mist & Gelato Affairs

2012 is one of those years for me when I want to be very socially active.   Mind you I’m not usually this active every year. The year before Last i.e. 2010 I didn’t want to see a human face. I have the ability to hibernate on yearly basis from social life, for various reasons. So this year I decided to have a reunion of the old office where I worked. Now there I worked with more than 100 people over the course of 5 years, obviously I made some really good friends and some people I just outright hate, I’m sure they know who they are. So having said that I put aside my differences and invited everyone I knew to a reunion. Also when inviting I made sure I told everyone very clearly that the invitation is open to all just come bring your friends, family whoever, just come we’ll sit down together catch up on the latest, reminisce about the past, enjoy ourselves and go back home thinking the day wasn’t so bad, However, statistically speaking out of the 50+ invitations I sent out, I had
