  • Emasculation and Derogation…Why Respect Can Never Be Overrated

    I’ve seen so many couples. Teenagers in for a ‘fling’, couples struggling through their 10th anniversary, even couples who relished their 70th year together, and still found themselves wishing for more time. And now I want to root out the rules for a successful relationship. I won’t pretend that I can even begin to understand →

  • I’ll Love You…On February 14th

    “Hi, so I know we’ve only been dating for 5 months, but…would you be my Valentine?” “Of course! I didn’t know you felt that strongly about me!” “I do, I love you.” “You just said the ”L” word…Oh I couldn’t be happier!” *hugging and kissing ensues* Ahh, Valentine’s Day. Roses, chocolate, singing, serenading, presents, poetry →

  • Sorry Yeats, I Died…

    Ahh, my eulogy… Here lies an unusual eighteen year old. She loved life, but she didn’t fear death, because Albus Dumbledore taught her that “to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.” In death, she wanted to leave something behind for future generations, so they could learn and not make the →

  • How Does Adultery Make You Feel?

    There’s something I cannot get off my mind at the moment. It’s not deep, brooded over or intellectual. But it’s been preying in my thoughts, inexorably. Adultery. Infidelity. Cheating. Two-timing. What do they all mean? If you ‘cheat’, will you be labeled an adulterer? Even if you have your reasons and are being treated badly? →

  • You’re Anything But Ordinary…

    Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary. – Oscar Wilde Fall in love with someone who is/can be: Your best friend. Your ultimate confidant.  A really soft punching bag. A hugger. A pet (actions include snuggling, cuddling and puppy eyes) A cry-into-pillow. Superman. A realistic dreamer (paradoxically…) Your moral conscience, at parties and →

  • I’m A Child Of The Rain, At Home In The Soil

    Rain… This reminds me of the first time I actually ‘experienced’ a thunderstorm as a child. I was a little over 7 years old, and had been playing in the back garden quietly, with dolls and imaginary friends alike. Augusts in Lahore are monsoon months, with heavy rain coming down at unexpected moments. Before I →

  • My Teacher, Who Pets Some And Tries All…

    My teacher can’t be seen, or heard even. My teacher has never received much recognition, except on job resumes, or in hiring adverts. My teacher is intangible, and comes in infinite different shapes and sizes. And so, my teacher cannot be seen or heard. Unless you really start to listen. Because my teacher is experience. Experience started →

  • A Fizzy, Caramelly Journey…

    Coca Cola. And my story with it. This story starts even before I was born, and as a matter of fact, it started when my mother was pregnant with me. In her words, ‘normal everyday food’  bored her, and so, in the last month before I was due, she began a new diet, that consisted →

  • Never Try To Outstubborn A Cat…

    Hi, Favourite Person Remember last Saturday when I went to that sleep over? You looked pretty much nonchalant as I was leaving. You watched me while I stuffed my favourite neon pink pajamas inside my handbag with your glassy stare, and I knew you were judging me. I tried to pat you on the head but you →

  • 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 →

  • Ahh Love, What A Silly Game We Play

    Setting: My favourite park. Scene: A freezing foggy night, time was around 12.08 AM. I was on the swings, obviously. Back and forth, back and forth, with my hair forming a mist around my head, which was bent with eyes closed. And then I felt the stirring of butterflies in my stomach, the whoop and →

  • Brown Paper Packages Tied Up With String

    Someone knocked at my gate. I expected the usual; salesperson, beggar, cleaning woman, or kids playing a prank. Instead, I found a complete and utter stranger: the post man. How had he ventured onto this territory, this alien land he never ever visited? I figured he probably had the wrong address and had stopped to →

  • I’m Sorry, Korea!

    Daily Prompt: Mix Tape This is my dream prompt. I’ve been gathering this list for ever. 1. Broken – Amy Lee ft Seether.  2. Girl On Fire – Alicia Keys ft Nicki Minaj.  3. Heaven – Theory Of A Deadman 4. Hurricane – Theory Of A Deadman 5. Skyfall – Adele 6. The Only Exception →

  • I’ve Known Superman For 18 Years…

    Daily Prompt: My Hero Hi, Dad. You’re my hero A real life Superman I believed in you when I was four I still believed when I turned ten And I kept believing From there on out. You’re the one who said “Read the newspaper, baby.” When I didn’t care what happened in the world, – →

  • Prince Charming Doesn’t Come With A Checklist, Just A ‘To-Do’

    A friend of mine was recently talking about ‘Mr. Perfect’, the ‘Ideal Guy’, etc etc. And she gave me a list of everything he should be, from a girl’s perspective. Lets just say I had an entirely different view of the matter. Trait Number One: He must always find you beautiful, even if you’re wearing →

  • Problems With Mom? Go To Court..

    The Karachi Customs and Taxation Courts are located in an unassuming, non pretentious leafy, yellow bricked older than time building. My mom and I went there to sort out the last of the pesky court case that had been brought up against her wrongly, by a confused old man who was convinced she was the →

  • You Can Kid The World. But Not Your Sister.

    “Naturally” said Madam Rosmerta, with a small laugh. “Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here — ooh, they used to make me laugh. Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!”  – Madam Rosmerta” 11 years, you know. Of being a double act. Yes →

  • How To…Move On

    The hardest thing to do, isn’t it? But that doesn’t mean it can’t be accomplished with a bit of mind over matter, humour and good spirits. Whatever your personal rut: stuck in a relationship with a human, warlock or aggressive German Shepherd. When they leave (or start to), you should have back up, and not →

  • Dear Future Babies With Stars In Your Eyes

    This is the (very condensed) story of how a hopeless helpless horribly forsaken Coca Cola addict overcame her addiction, and refused a real life offer (that previously, was un-re-fu-sa-ble) This addict just could not refuse a glass of the fizzy chocolate brown sweeter-than-anything drink, and drank about three glasses per day. She writes about it now only →

  • I Am Cat, Hear Me Meow

    Hey, I’m Coco, and i’m a cat..which you’ve probably already guessed from the title. I would like to tell you my story, if you’ll lend a willing ear (if not, I’ll claw at it until it lends itself anyway). I live with some strange people. I mean, don’t get me wrong, when cats decide to take in →
