Trip To Norway By Eldest Son And Gabi To Attend The Master’s Ceremony Of Sofie !

Hey Beautiful Souls!

Hope shining and rising with all your grace and beauty ♥️

I am fine by the grace of God ! 

We are having blessed times in Islamabad. Our apartment is very comfy and cozy and lots of windows which bring breeze to freshen up our day. Weather is perfect which keeps us on move. Though muggy and airless days are coming from mid July and outdoors activities can be difficult,yet we are enjoying the moment in our hand blissfully right now 🥹

Our eldest son and Gabi visited Norway last week for three days. He went to attend the award ceremony on the completion of  Sofie’s masters . After arriving in Norway they spent first day in Sofie’s home in the city. And next day they went to live in Sofie’s parents beach house. Photos are taken on various occasions meanwhile.i hope you will enjoy them as we did♥️

Sofie is very nice and active young lady, eldest son admires her strength and insight in her lifestyle, here both are having tea most probably as I can see two cups full of coffee or tea there , I believe this stunning sitting place is designed beautifully for this purpose only 🥰 this is Sofie’s home and when eldest son shared this picture it was 9:30pm . I think this is the season when sun doesn’t set for six months in Norway. It’s such a happening sight for people like me who can’t imagine sun shine in night time 🤗🤔🫢

It’s day when both couples left to attend the master’s ceremony.

On right is standing Sofie’s husband, very smart ,intellectual man . He has done PHD in some very important subject ( forgive me for forgetting his name and details as right now I am under the effect of new medication,details in next post )

      
I want to congratulate dear Sofie who by the grace of God has achieved so much in such a young age mashallah! She is in her mid twenties and she has completed her masters degree already. And she has such a lovely family of loving husband and cute child mashallah ! Our heartfelt prayers and best wishes for her future accomplishments 🤞🙏♥️

                          I loved her smile, I felt very touched when eldest was having online time with us ,she appeared and said hello and few lines which showed her sweet nature and beautiful heart 🥰

      I noticed wind was quite strong when they were walking around, I think they are trying to say that strong wind is blowing them away, I assumed that because it reminded me our walk to school in my childhood days and wind would push us back when we were on the peek of the hills,sometimes we would wide spread arms while laughing 

Eldest son appreciates how dear Gabi can’t sit idly and likes to participate whatever is going on in the house. I see she is helping to set the table for everyone to enjoy meal ☺️

     
It’s fun to play board and card games,specially to avoid the waiting time until food is ready or after the meal when you want to enjoy nice gathering of friends and family instead anything else. I truly miss such special family times before the internet was here to disperse everything 😏

   Can you see how serious both kids are, if such seriousness was shown in world matters like climate change or wars things would have been different I believe 

     Eldest son and Gabi are going to the sea side here , a clip next to it shows that eldest son swam in the water which I believe was very cold and I don’t know how he could go in such cold water.Gabi couldn’t dare though and sat on a side instead waiting for him 

      Eldest son told that Norway is very beautiful, and when snow is gone, earth is decorated with greenery and pretty flowers 

                         Red boat floating on the water looks like a hope rising in broken heart 🥹

       

             I wonder where this lovely couple is heading and what is this fenced slopy step case 

Both are sitting before the beach houses and I think Gabi is trying to show something on palm ,maybe a butterfly, it reminds me time who flies by smoothly ,it’s moments fly away like a butterfly one after another and all remains back is colour of them shining on our palm!

             Another gorgeous shot by dear Sofie, sky ,water and flowers all beautiful gestures of nature 🥰

     

This one is captured beautifully! A perfect moment of  the evening right sun goes down quietly after exhausting day and night spread her calming shawl on the face of sky full of glittering stars 🥹 though here a thin layer of clouds has covered the stars for a while. It’s a wonderful sight!

Two friends having conversation over the deck and the cute pet is enjoying the beauty and perfection of this moment.

This photo looks like a stunning piece of art to me ,timing is magical which captivates the whole scenario to perfection♥️ 

This lovely arrangement of flowers reminds of dancing people in the circle on various occasions and festivals, do you see such dance is obvious in so many aspects of the nature. For example arrangements of petals around the pistil , solar system or particles in the atom ,this is called dance of life and seems to have no end 

   Friendship is such a beautiful and unique relationship in which we choose our friends on the basis of  true love and respect we feel for each other. A gravity of common interests and shared feelings. Our sincere tendency to support each other in good and bad times!  This lovely photo touches my heart and I feel grateful for all the love and affection eldest son shares with precious people in his life ♥️🥹🙏

Heartfelt thanks for being with me till the end dear friends 🙏

Your kindness and support fills me with joy and new strength and make me keep sharing with you my life and my feelings 🥹

Sending love and prayers to you all and to all you love!!!

In Islamabad Now

 Hello Dear Friends 

Hope and pray that all of you are having blessed time despite all the madness going on in this world!

I want to apologise for being behind in my blogging. I truly miss reading your posts and knowing how are you doing. I have been trying to keep visiting blogs during the business still it’s not enough. We have come to Islamabad last week and thanks to kind God and then our very sweet eldest son we are living in a quiet luxury apartment in nice area!

Weather difference is incredible and very reliving for us thankfully. Can you imagine sitting without fan and still getting no sweats 🤗

To be honest we feel utterly lucky and blessed to have such a caring child who tries to make life easier for us by the grace of God🥹🙏♥️

May Allah reward him for what he does for his family 🙏♥️ and all children are included in my prayers!!! 

Actually I fell ill before one day we had to travel. Yes it was typhoid,my beloved disease who doesn’t like to leave me alone and keeps visiting my body once in a while ☹️

But medicine helped me to go through the 12 to 14 bus journey thankfully. I am feeling better and I don’t know it’s a good idea or bad I am taking four to five kilometres walk since three days. Islamabad is irresistible to not take walks and I know I get hardly two months here .

Precious friends heartfelt thanks for your incredible support and generosity throughout and I will say that your support is my strength 🥹♥️🙏

I will be sharing more soon though windstorms and heavy rains are predicted in next week and outings can be postponed for a while.

Will be visiting you asap 🤞

Health, peace and happiness to you and to all you love 🙏♥️

Life Is An Interesting Struggle

 

Hey beautiful Souls! 

Hope blooming in the spring of  your existence beautifully and sharing your light with everyone around you ♥️

I know I am being repetitive but weather element is highly magnified these days and I have to say it again that our weather is really hot these days . Temperature has risen to the 50 centigrade and above 🥵

We celebrated Eid of sacrifice three days ago but honestly I couldn’t  feel anything but the laboured breathing,excessive sweating and fatigue 😥

Every summer in southern Pakistan reminds me that how powerfully weather affects our lives and behaviour! The only joy I felt meanwhile was having our younger son with us! He has some more days with us thankfully and is going to join us for our summer trip to Islamabad 🥹

Being a mother I am happy to hear that!  Actually he has got some issue with one of his assignments which he completed in the university class room but couldn’t submit in hurry as he was not feeling well. His teacher said she will submit his assignment and he can leave . But later at the end of the semester he learned that he lost one credit! He was really upset and protested in the office. His teacher testified that it was her fault and that she had forgotten to submit his assignment! That matter stretched to the end of the year sadly and now he has to spend four months from August to December in the university just for one credit!! He is still upset and stressed. Our eldest son and we are trying to convince him that he needs to let go as four months aren’t big deal. 

I hope things will improve in better place and weather 🤞

She is the adopted daughter of  my youngest brother in law . She is turning two years old next month. When she entered our house on the Eid morning with her father,we all chuckled and laughed instantly because how she had worn the cultural hat of her father and walked with confidence like big man lol 

Isn’t she so cute 🥰

Hubby and both sons on Eid morning after Eid prayer and breakfast,no matter how many years passed (ten almost) we ,I miss eldest son on Eid day terribly 😔 he called on the Eid evening and we 

Despite his tension younger son made this hinna design on my hand ,he was tired because of he had travelled in bus whole night. Best part he had in mind and he offered me to apply hinna on my hands .heat was so intense and I refused to do my other hand ☹️

    This and three pictures below are taken in our BnB stay in Karachi in  January 2026 before the arrival of sweet Gabi !, apartment was on 7th floor but due to be in the centre of the city it was quite noisy and crowded area. Although it didn’t affected us because of the high rise place. I liked the wall decoration all over the apartment, I thought i will capture the whole decoration but forgot sadly,these were from living room where we spent most of the our time , I would stare at this tree and feel it was very philosophically done ,what do you think??

   Design of this mirror would make me think of revolving galaxies immediately, do you too find it impressive and mysterious??

    I  found theses two photos very intriguing , it seems that some young intuitive mind was Involved in all the details, I wonder if.  other visitors would have noticed the depth of decoration too because I feel it’s amazing and reflects the modern aesthetic of human thinking 

     During our two weeks stay,I would get up first ,mostly around 7:30 or 8am and would sit on the chair you can see on right, sun would stay low and close and environment would feel soothing, sometimes bird chirping would come from the balcony and see little fellows coming and going. Sky would feel so calm and beautiful, those were lovely moments which will stay with me forever ! 

           We stayed in two different apartments in Karachi and both had paintings of the whirling dervish ! I was very happy to see such paintings from close because I had found them immensely profound and beautiful 🥹 everything in the universe is orbiting itself and around something else too ,it definitely makes sense to me because it shows how love works within the the veins of universe and within our lives 🥰  can you imagine life without love?? Love of anything ??

Below few flowers I have captured during our evening walk in Islamabad in previous trip to Islamabad 2025

      At the end I am sharing this favourite photo from beach tour in Karachi with eldest son! Here eldest son is showing collection of his sea shells he has picked up by walking on the shore. I find it fascinating because it appears like we all pick up things by making various choices and our life showcase it gradually!

Does anything come to your mind about this?? 

Dear friends heartfelt thanks for your support and encouragement which strengthens my heart and makes me keep sharing ♥️🙏

God Bless you all ♥️🙏

Light Is Whole. A poem By Me

 Getting here , opened eye 

I started it with my cry

Without knowing for whom and why 

Looked for him in everything passing by 

Following wishes, chasing dreams 

Health and comfort,loads of things 

Couldn’t quiet  inner screams 

Deep inside rustled unfolded means

My heart sang nurtured with love 

Soul soaring triumphant dove 

But Pulling strings from above 

Someone kept testing my nerve 

Holding me back from worldly games 

Detaching from all my claims 

Pushing into thoughts insane 

Reconsidering  “loss and gain “

Asking for , look more deep 

Hidden Truths if I can seek 

Turning world to place so bleak 

What have I done to deserve this cheat 

Why created this puzzling place 

Giving everything a crazy pace 

This emptiness,what is this space

Can I fill it by running an endless race ?

Overwhelmed  by too much query 

Ego crumbled with fear and fury

I kept walking through places and seasons 

With obvious existence and unknown reason 

Ages went by ,I was old and weak 

My body torn  and soul to bleed 

Fell of ground with breath just last 

Saw drop of light spreading so vast 

Diminishing the universes  whole 

Making everything bright and bold 

Liberating from the cage of anxiety 

Dissolving me  ,into its entirety !

Hello dear friends,thanks for reading my poem till end. It’s about genuine feelings I have been experiencing about the Divine and how I feel He keeps me close by holding my attention all the time.

God Bless You All 🙏♥️
