What will Asma Siddiqui like for her Birthday 2020

About time this came out don't you think? It's strange no one reminded me about this 😀 but am i going to forget about this? Absolutely not! i have a lot of things that i want and and here goes the list:


  • Uno Cards (coz maybe on day i will play with them)
  • Scarves: (coz i am a hoarder)
  • Books: (coz there is no maximum limit to them EVER)
    • Life of Pi - Yann Martel
    • Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
    • In the City By The Sea - Kamila Shamsie
    • Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguro
    • The Architect's Apprentice - Elif Shafak
    • The Gaze - Elif Shafak
    • Songs of Blood and Sword - Fatima Bhutto
    • Daughter of Destiny - Benazir Bhutto
    • In the Line of Fire - Parvez Musharraf
    • Becoming - Michelle Obama
    • A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khalid Hosseini
    • And the Mountains Echoed - Khalid Hosseini
  • Perfumes: 
  • Bags: (coz one can never have enough of those)
    • Brown Bag
    • Off White Bag
    • Blue Bag
      • P.S. there's a sale going on at RTW, so now is the time to buy these bags for me!
Now for the things that I don't want and this list is just as important as the one above. i hate to NOT USE the gifts that my friends give me and they just occupy space and waste away with time. 

  • Watches - one at a time and for the time being i have one 
  • Wallets - i have more wallets then money, so if you intend on giving me a wallet give me the money instead, what's the use of having an empty wallet?
  • Flowers - of course they make me happy! but then throwing them away after a week makes me really sad also
  • Decoration stuff - practical gifts only please if i can't use them except for staring at, they're not worth it. 
  • Chocolates - I AM A DIABETIC!!! so unless you don't want me to be around for my next birthday please skip the chocolates.
So that's that! For the benefit of those people who've got to know me recently, this list is something i do every year so i get only the gifts i want and will use and saves people from thinking of what i would like and want. some of the above items are hyperlinked so all you got to do is click on them and they'll take you right to the page where you can order them online - see i make things so easy!

How this works? just comment below what you want to gift me and i'll strike it off the list so no one else will buy it (no duplication),  the trick is to get hold of things as soon as possible coz the gifts get auctioned really quick 😜.

Now for the most important part of this post....

I've been celebrating my birthday regularly with a crowd for a long time. This year however, i am NOT, coz i don't want to. This year its going to be with a special few people only. This year i want to explore things on my own, alone! Go to more movies alone, to to more food places alone, travel to places alone.

Learning to live alone in 2020

Happy birthday to me!

What would Asma Siddiqui like for her birthday this year (2018)?

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
