  • My Senile Grandmother. And Her Cat Who Knits Me Sweaters.

    What makes a blog great? Or: Why I Spend All My Time On WordPress Let’s see… 1. CAPTIVATING TITLES! – If a post has a funny, quirky title, I’ll be sure to open it up. And if it has some words outlined in bold, well then, I decide to camp out on the blog with my cup →

  • How To…Bling Up Your Blog (With Pictures)

    I haven’t written a how-to in a while, and so here is one just for you, all the people I love. It’s only been a year since I started blogging, and it took me a while to learn the ropes. This article explains the simplest way to upload buttons to your blog. This is how →

  • Facebook Connect…Thumbs Up Please?

    Hi, I’ve been writing this blog for almost a year, and in speed time, its grown. I never thought I’d have a voice, or that over 200 people would want to hear what I had to say. I’ve found my vocation, which is pretty useful, since I had earlier dreams of being a princess, a →

  • Blogging For Squirrels…And OCD

    An ode to blogging. – To the fish in the river, and the fish in the sea “Why do you live in water?” “Ahh, you’d be pretty shocked if we walked, you see.” – To the kangaroo (addressing her pouch are we) “Why do you keep little joey chest to chest?” “Because then I can’t possibly →

  • Broccoli Yes, Ryan Gosling No

    The ‘I Am Sort of Weird’ List: Basically, I’m different from a lot of people my age, and here’s how. I love love LOVE broccoli. With cheese, without, steamed, boiled, mushy, anything. I don’t like Ryan Gosling. Repeat. Do not. Never have, never will. I think about things on various levels. For eg, I picture myself →

  • Dragon’s Loyalty Award!

    Oh my oh my! The Dragon’s Loyalty Award! I’m hoping this comes complete with a stone castle, emeralds as big as my palm and of course my perfect prince… On a serious note, WOW. This is one of the coolest awards I’ve received, and all thanks to Arman at Corporate Skirts. You’re a sweetheart! ❤ →

  • Do Not Drink Wine – Like A Savage!

    “Flangiprop” Hmm. I’ve been reading Game of Thrones lately so this word reminds me of fantastical things. ‘Flangi’ reminds me of flagons and the word mangy simultaneously, while ‘prop’ makes me think of propriety and etiquette. Overall the word makes me think of a master, or teacher. No Game of Thrones influence at all…yeah right. So basically, →

  • I Opened A Different Sort Of Window Entirely…

      Through the Window? Right outside my window, a clear blue streams gurgles past. It takes along with it odd, smooth, glassine pebbles, some leaves and the occasional lizard. I can hear the tiny tick tick noises the reptilians make when trying to cling onto the bank with miniature nails. Their holds don’t stick, and →

  • Hello, Liebster. We Meet At Last…!

    Could this day get any better? So much got done, I feel like a productive person today, which is sort of an alien feeling…I came to the blog and found an amazing surprise! Laekanzeakemp nominated me for the Liebster Award. YAY *jumps*. I couldn’t be any happier than I am right now. Two things I love are comments on →

  • I Have A New Baby!

    I’ve been busy for the past two days, setting up a new blog. The idea for my new baby, as I like to call it came from one of my greatest obsessions: urban myths and legends. I’ve always been fascinated with legends, rumours and scary stories and so I decided to make a whole new →

  • The Voices In My Bathroom Were Real…Oh God

    I’m a control freak. I thought ‘helpless‘ wasn’t in my dictionary. Until this morning. Today, around 7.30 AM I had the two worst nightmares I have ever had, even as a child. And what makes you feel more helpless than your subconscious? It shows you things you can’t control, or change. Unless you’re a lucid →

  • Writing Has Its Rewards…And Awards!

    Blogging days for me just could not get any better! Two days ago, I got nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award and today I came here to find another award. Yes, I’m talking about this as if these are Golden Oscars, but honestly, to me, they’re nothing else! I never ever thought →

  • Nice To Meet You! :)

    I just read Hey Sugar Sugar‘s post where she ‘parameterized‘ herself, and found it very interesting. Here’s my own version: I’m 5 feet, 2 1/2 inches. I weigh exactly 49 kg (I don’t like measuring in lbs). I was born on the 25th of June, in 1994. Summer baby who can’t stand winters. I’m female. Duh. Both my eyes →

  • Playing Hide And Seek With Death? Not My Style…

    If there were a real Fountain of Youth, would you drink the water? Fountain of youth immediately reminds me of Twilight, Anne Rice, and Ian Somerhalder. Basically, vampires. And the philosopher’s stone. But the answer is simple. No, I would not drink the water. I don’t want to stay young and party every day. I →

  • Some More Love, Please?

    I started blogging in November, this year and at first I was scared that what I had to say would not be entertaining enough for readers generally. However, I started gaining followers and was surprised and very, very touched. People were reading what I wrote! I would smile and be content with every like I →

  • Gather Round The Fire…And Listen, She Said, Of Tales Past

    I’m a puffed up, self important peahen.  I’d write, write and write some more. Writing this blog is literally how I vent, even though most of it is random rambling. I need to write out my experiences in the hopes that they’ll make some people laugh, some cry, and help some not make the same mistakes. I →

  • Sing The Songs I Sing

    Writing has been second nature to me ever since I was a child. I’ve written short stories, scripts and part of a novel too. But what outshone all of those was my poetry. I could best describe it as going home to a well worn and comfortable pair of slippers after a hard day. I →

  • …Meanwhile, In Lahore: Meet Your 60 Year Old Husband

    I have a housekeeper, who has become somewhat of a close friend. To respect her privacy, I’ll call her Fee here. Fee has a bright sunny personality, isn’t afraid of hard work, and comes from a tiny village just outside Lahore, whose name I can’t spell. Recently she told me how her younger 13 year →

  • An Un-Thanksgiving Thankful List

    Where I’m from, there’s no Thanksgiving Day. But since today, all day I’ve read more and more posts about what people have to be thankful for, I decided to write my own list. My Not-Quite-A-Thanksgiving List. So here goes. I’m thankful: That Autumn lasted a month longer than it was technically supposed to (favourite month). →

  • …Meanwhile, In Lahore

    It’s 11.51 AM exactly, and the weather outside is wonderful, as only weather in Lahore can be, towards the end of November. Its not too sunny, not too windy, and not too cold. I could go out and lie down, sleep or dream or read in the grass, all without the threat of getting a →
