Some days are really heavy on heart when you are far away from your parents. You so want to hug them but you can’t. The time you spend with your parents is the most precious time. Value that time and don’t take it for granted. You’ll realise it once you are miles apart from them.

Lately I have been using Bukhoor instead of room air freshener. First of all it is made from oud wood, rose or any other naturally occurring fragrance substance. Secondly, it smells amazing and is long lasting.

Watching my toddler brush her hair, say little words and jump on her father’s back while he prays are the cutest things I witness throughout the day.

Pancakes & Pizza Today out of nowhere I had such a strong pancake craving that I couldn’t resist making them. So I took out a pancake recipe video from youtube and made them. Initially, one or two didn’t turn out the way I expected. But rest of them were really delicious. Then at night, I ordered pizza from pizza hut. It was quite non traditional kind of rectangular long pizza with different flavoured portions.

Lunar Eclipse 2025 I go for walk daily at night around 10 pm. The place where I walk is usually quite empty except for the people passing by. Today when I reached my spot, it was shockingly crowded. Everyone was holding phone and clicking something on the sky. When I got closer, I saw moon which was all red and shadowy today. It was a lunar eclipse in many parts of the world. Almost everyone from my building was out to see the BLOOD MOON today. Such happenings, reflect the greatness of Allah. No doubt He is the best Creator.

I don’t know what is this obsession with instagram. I pick my phone to do something productive and end up wasting an hour or two scrolling down my instagram feed.

I have noticed that people of this generation have zero or very low patience level. Not everyone but majority. The other day I accidentally bumped into a lady and the way she looked at me felt like she’s going to kill me. We don’t even give the margin of a tiny humanly mistake to others.

Enjoying late night movie with a bowl of salted nuts and my all time favourite galaxy smooth dark chocolate

Setting up my toddler’s place with teddy bears and some cute wall decor. I will show the results once done.

Journaling stuff & stationary Since childhood I am way too much into stationary. I love collecting stationary and journaling stuff. I have gathered a huge variety of this stuff. Although I use them occasionally, as I am not a student anymore and I might not use it in future as well. But I still like collecting this stuff. Or my children might inherit my stationary in future. I remember whenever my mother wanted me to listen to her she would promise me to buy me colour pencils, crayons etc. My family knows in which section to find me when we go to supermarkets.

Although I am scared of seas and rivers yet I have a strong desire of scuba diving. I want to explore sea life and want to have an encounter with sharks.

Does anyone has any idea that if two people having access to the same internet/ same IP address use read cash, will it have any effect on their tipping?

Cheese buns are my new favourite these days. But I need to stay low key with this obsession or else I will soon get over this obsession.

Sometimes you don’t get what you expect. Rather, things go in a direction which is extreme opposite of what you thought. But we realise it later on, that what happened was a blessing in disguise. Because God is the best planner. He knows everything and we know nothing. Sweet dreams everyone. Good night

It feels so good and comforting when I keep grains and water for thirsty and hungry pigeons on my balcony. I can literally feel that Allah has been pleased.

Counting my days till I go to Pakistan. I can’t wait to meet my family, enjoy the food of my favourite restaurants and have lots of chit chat with my mother.

It is so hard to survive the night with AC. One moment you feel that temperature is unbearably high so you turn on the AC and boom! you fall asleep. Until, you start feeling so cold that you have to get up again and turn it off.

One of the most difficult things about moving to another country is getting used to the products of that country. Sometimes you don't like the things in that new place.

Making tea for myself and lunch for my toddler. Today I am gonna head out to do some grocery. How is your day going?
@Ellen1
Today I went to Cheesecake Factory in Dubai Festival City Mall. I tried their cheese Nachos, chicken soup along with garlic bread and cheese cake. I must say their food is a treat to the taste buds.

I wait anxiously for the time after Asar prayer. As it is family tea time and I love this time the most. All family members gather and enjoy tea with gossips. By the way I drink tea 3 to 4 times a day but evening tea is my favourite.
@Ellen1
It was such a hectic day today. I had a lot of chores to do. Thank God I am finally free and about to watch my favourite drama. Good night everyone. I am sure many of you are already asleep.
@Ellen1
I want to watch a good series. But I have a bad habit. Once I start watching a show, I can’t seem to resist the urge to watch all the episodes in one day. I hate this addiction.

Lately, my heels and wrist have started hurting badly. I can’t put much pressure on my feet. My vitamin D levels were low few months back. I think I need to get my Vit D levels checked again. I have always been the type of person who would not sit in sunlight even for few minutes, which is a huge mistake. As sunlight is a great source of Vitamin D.

I am planing on enrolling myself in some freelance courses. I have come across Digiskills program. They offer free courses in many areas like Graphic designing, SEO optimisation, digital marketing etc. If any one of you is interested, do check them out. The good part is there is no fee, all the courses are free of cost and you don’t have to go anywhere, all courses are provided online.

Tips to avoid getting low quality materials through online shopping Lately many online shopping platforms have been established all over the internet like Daraz, Temu, Ali express, Shein etc. These platforms have really made our lives easy. One can order anything merely by a single click. But often we don’t get what we expect. As there are various vendors, each selling his own item. I’ve done online shopping so many times that now I have become a pro. Rarely it happens that I get products of low quality, otherwise I recognise which vendor is selling what kind of product. Before placing order online, there are three things that you should keep in mind to avoid getting low quality things. First of all, check the number of followers of the page you are ordering stuff from. Secondly, check reviews of customers. Last but not least, always ask the seller to send you self taken picture of the item you are interested in, so that you can have a better understanding of what you are buying.

Last Generation Yesterday I was scrolling down my instagram account when I came across a video that made me realise that we are the last generation to experience certain things. I remember there were no phones in our childhood. My father started using phone very late in his life. It was a small Nokia phone. We used to play with toy phones. We are the last generation who grew up without screen time. We spent our childhood playing hide and seek, pithu garam, king stop etc in our streets. Phone was never an option. But when I look at today’s children, I feel pity for them. They don’t have much physical activity because you will always find them stick to phones watching Baby shark or cocomelon. I am strictly against this trend. These habits not only affect their eyes but also their brain development and critical thinking capabilities.

It’s been half an hour since I am rocking my toddler to sleep. But it seems she is not in the mood to sleep. I am quite sleepy though.

It is so hard to decide everyday what to cook. Sometimes I am out of food items in my mind. I find it more difficult than cooking itself.
