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 🙏♥️

Hot Weather, Reading A Book Again And Again, And A Curiosity About….

 

Hello  Lovely People!

Hope and pray that you are having blessed days and favourable weather 🤞

It’s been more than two weeks our weather has turned extremely hot 🥵 45 centigrade today.

Cooking is risky task when 10 by 10 kitchen with two exhaust fans seems like an oven because of the sweating and heat 🔥 

Heat becomes more unbearable after sunset when walls of the house release heat they have absorbed throughout the day ☹️😞😭

We are having guests every once in awhile despite such hot weather which is unusual. Yet life is blessing worth being grateful for. Our summers are really tough and tough times feel longer and difficult . With age I just pray for strength to go through this phase smoothly 🙏

Our temperatures are spinning around 45 to 48-9 which makes it hard to sit down and read because you got a long day. I feel sad because of this! Still I am reading Prisoners Of Geography by Tim Marshal in breaks . Its first chapter is about Russia and I have read it three times until now to understand it better🤔. Now Reading second chapter China which seems easier than compared to previous one.I am rereading it again.Book is very interesting and full of knowledge worth knowing in order to understand how geopolitics works in the world and why the countries behave the way they do . I believe book will take time to get finished because it’s details are bit complicated for me and I have to read them few times to sustain what I want to learn. 

And yes a question which was springing in my mind since long but slipped away every time I would write post .

As you know that I am an emotional person . When I watch some movie or show,I feel that my empathy is sided with heroic characters. Sometimes central characters are not heroes but bad guys disguised in good character. My curiosity is if everyone feels the same way??

Or is it possible to stay neutral from start to end??

Did you realise how you feel while watching movies or shows,do you too get  involved morally with characters trying to do right thing ??

I was watching Chestnut Man last night , it’s about good detectives chasing serial killers. It’s second season. The leading lady detective is killed by the criminal suddenly. I felt sad and disappointed because I thought she is the permanent character of the series. It took sometime to get out of this feeling,I had to remind myself that nothing is permanent here whether on screen or off screen.

Please try to respond my question dear friends so I can figure out if I am normal or way too emotional? 

Thanks for your love and support on previous post 🙏

I feel honoured and blessed believe me 🥹♥️

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