About me
It's about me
Even though English language is not my mother's tongue & I'm no master in English, but I wrote all my articles in a easy way but in a different style but choices of words are mine; so you don't clog your mind with unknown words & look up in dictionary every now & then. In this way I believe, I could capture the heart of my readers. There's is a proverb saying 'idle mind is devil's workshop’; instead doing something not so worthy I started to write & continued that task until now when I found some spare time in USA. I found FB a better platform where I could be connected with family & friends. In this venture I added pictures & videos, they are shot & edited by me, but I'm an armature photographer, I take pics for my personal interest. I am thankful to my brother Shakeel & also to my relatives for their cooperation for letting me have some of their pics in Roots album & some rare old photos. Success isn’t about how much money you make but it’s about the difference you make in your life.
There are no fabrications or lies on any part of my story-telling , they are genuine & true; some info' I've changed a little only for security reasons. I've also added some French in my writings, just to add a little kick in the spice. Until now, I 'm still confessing & I don't know, how many years it'll take to be fully confident. Some of the materials: videos, facts ( in italic letters) & photos (by famous photographer) which I've collected from internet & used them in my writings. For errors , controversies, confusion and to make my articles more interesting to my readers, I update 'em time to time. I've started writing when I was in my school years, only few of them were published in the daily news papers, helped by my dad but that was enough. The writing style which I've adopted always reflects my personality & the way I looked at life, which is a little different from others I believe. Writing is an art work with which you could play with, make it into any shape, at the same time a dangerous weapon when used wrongly. And now, in USA it has become my favorite pastime. A wise girl knows her limit but a smart girl knows she has none.
Someone might ask , where do I find the topics, how do I find the words, what I want to accomplish … well, I picked the words from my day to day life what ever life has to offer me & from my previous education; my goal is to make awareness of the today's world. There are many people who are better than me, who may be master in their field, I have no intention to compete them. Then again, I know some people enjoyed reading my notes & appreciate, that kept me going. Some of the post I re-wrote them for FB. Some of the photos which I've collected from internet by photo editing tool - just for fun. Usually I put more emphasis on what I thought which I compose in my mind & then I write it down on free will; as it's all about friends who will view my profile & ignore my mistakes. Make yourself a priority once in a while . It's not selfish , it's necessary. When I sit to write, it's always me & my computer. The flow of writing comes to me automatically, even when I was a kid. I could write pages after pages without interruption & my mind was loaded with ideas of course in good sense . Now I am amazed to see by my son's spontaneity when he writes something on his own ( but don't be too cruel to him, he's only a kid). Life wasn't easy for me when I was young , still fighting against the odds. Don't make me your role model, find someone who is more successful in life to follow. When you truly don't care what anyone thinks of you, when you've reached a dangerously awesome level of freedom.
Allowing people inside your life is a beautiful thing. Letting go of people who drain your spirit is another beautiful thing you can do for your life. The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose, what to accept & what to let go. After reading my articles, many jealous people tried to adopt my way of writing or steal , erase my words or lines even the entire note from my profile. Did I open an English learning course on FB? I don't think so. Some unknown people bugged me for many days to stop writing any further but it's no denial if something nice is produced out of nowhere, definitely people will like it. When you live for a strong purpose then hard work isn’t an option it’s a necessity.
Create your own, rather follow someone's style. It could be your literary skill, your dress up, your picture taking, cooking tech, driving a car or may be your overall lifestyle. Don't chase people for better quality writing, find it within you. Soon you will see possibilities are endless. I'm infect, a very private person & I hate people trying to access to my privacy. Maybe that's one of the reason, I'm misunderstood & end up with few friends. It's better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.
I know, lot of people can see my articles, I wonder if they can get the humor, laughter or pain inside the stories as I do. I wish my voice could be echoed down to all corners of the world i.e. woman with power. So , they could laugh with me, cry on my miseries or sigh together. My thoughts are my kingdom , I wouldn't allow anyone to invade it. Some of my memories which I've never forgotten . It stays fresh & vivid in my mind, as if it has happened yesterday. Come, see my world from my eyes. Lit your fierce with in you & your vision has no boundary ( in abstract sense of course ) . Embrace life to the fullest & face its challenges . Be my friend - enjoy my creativity. If there's a reason to believe that someone's words or line has been copied in my profile- that's surely unintentional from my part , I 'll try to correct my mistake ...... than again give & take something of equal value, there'll be no- questions- asked. It’s our choices that shows what we truly are, far more than our abilities .
The narrator-
Sometimes we are threatened, whipped, slapped, wounded & tortured by harshness of life but still holding on to what life has to offer. Once life has ended, even an unsatisfied soul will be roaming in this materialistic world for it's unfinished task it left behind.
Last but not the least I am a mom, my part time job is writing for people who loves my skills. I cook for myself & for my son. Some other skills are journaling, photography & home sewing . I am self financed. I love to drive & I am driving since 1998.
