"Im going to put together a playlist of all the words you ever said to me/ & when I play them, itll be like a semantic-phony." - some leakage from my brain I like [photographing] sunsets.
A near-two month hiatus from blogging has my cerebral cortex begging me to allow itself to purge the cognitive diarrhea that I have, for nearly two years now, enjoyed sharing with you all. It is...

"Women are not created weaker but more generous than men. They are created more beautiful and less fierce, as beauty hates to hurt and harm others. That is why they seem weak to people, but in re...
The word undergraduate seems rightfully accurate--these undergraduate years are so underrated! The cognizance of this fact hath made me commit acts of the socially deviant kind: I decided to ornament...
In between constructing coffins for the most enjoyable (pretend) funeral/murder mystery I have had the pleasure of organizing and attending; and receiving mail in an actual mailbox that is not an ema...
Because I constantly receive large mounts of gratification from being verbose, and because I enjoy steadily increasing my superfluously-hyphenated-self- identity I have added something else to the way...

Yknow, if it wasnt for my passive consumption of media-induced gender & beauty norms, the frustratingly su perficial expectation of and infatuation with becoming trophy wives as per...
Despite the 3 Ps, (corrupt) politics, (frustratingly deep-seated) patriarchy and (dismal) poverty, I am forever enamored by Pakistani art: food, music and clothes. Happy Birthday to *my* birthplace a...
This summer has been the perfect blend of work, play, and all-around general lounging. This dress embodies that to a tee. When Im hard at work passively flopping my hands into the hands of manicurist...
My plunges into the world of literature as of late have been met with such positive reverberations, it is read-iculous. It all started with Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith. I devoured that thrilling fictit...
One of my many, many, many talents (besides being humble) includes remembering dates of milestones not typically considered milestones. Examples: The day I started wearing a hijab: July 1st, 2005 (al...
In between trying to refrain from becoming too angry whilst reading about rape apologism and/or the comment section on any non-alternative media about Muslims and getting lost trying to find new rest...
Blogging will commence soon. Fret little, sweet peas. p.s. new layout, does it tickle your fancy?
Boom diggity! Sadly, another Hijabi Fashion Week has terminated. But as my seventh grade teacher would say, "Dont cry cause its over; smile cause it happened." And what better way to end, the...
Ah! Todays theme rubs a bit of salt on the wounds. One of my biggest (generic) desires is to travel the world--eighteen years have passed by and Ive really only been to two continents. Still, relativ...
Day 5 of Hijabi Fashion Week is dedicated to outfits wed wear to/on Jummah! For those not aware, Jummah means Friday. Todays theme, then, entails our best Rebecca Black outfit-impersonation. I kid! I...
"I need to break my fast--can I have a date?" and other such islamic pick-up lines that didnt originate from my brain, are being added to my repertoire for full utilization in the future iA. ...
You are forewarned. Proceed forward with caution. Extreme caution. Why? Cause I am breathtaking in work out wear. No traces of dorkiness in sight. Just full on beauty, I am. Work out wear really emph...
Welcome to Day Two of HFW May 2011! Todays program is filled to the brim with ( ! <--- that is indeed an exclamation mark; this font be so ghetto). dorky poses! desi masala! chamkeela pan! chamak ...

Here is a little spoken word I performed at an event recently that served as a fundraiser where proceeds went to the Canadian Boat to Gaza. p.s. I dont actually know how to *do* slam poetry. I just p...
Few things are making me holler "Pakistan Zindabad" and have me marketing my ethnicity at every available opportunity. And no, the Cricket world cup shindig has nothing to do with it. (Youre ...
YUP, ladies and gentlemen, it is that time of the year again. You know the drill. Dont know? Dont worry. Catch up: 1) MY SENIOR YEAR THROUGH MY FACEBOOK STATUS UPDATES 2) MY SUMMER O...
(who wants to ignore my month-long hiatus from blogging? you all do? Fantastic. *discards terrible excuses*) Lets ease into this naturally and slowly. Blog layout has been tampered with. Reflects my ...
