Frailty! Thy name is woman........... Like, really?

Hamlet seriously needs to visit 2017... Or Shakespeare for that matter. Things have changed in ways that are unimaginable for the Golden Age's maestro.  So, what really has changed? I really want to write about what has changed; how has it changed; what's the magnitude of this change; and is the change for better or for worse? But I am blank... Because When I am thinking about all this, I am not feeling any conviction behind it. We are still being judged; for how we dress, how we walk, how we talk, how we raise our children, how we behave in public, how we breathe, for crying out loud! There is no East or West here as far as women are concerned. They are birds of a feather; which feathers are going to be plucked to keep us out of the way of whatever men want to achieve by doing so! Women are considered stupid, incompetent and senseless by most men.  Like, if a woman is driving, being careful of not driving fast; sh e's a nincompoop! Statistically speaking, t...

AoA Dearlings....... Hows life?  So, the other day I was thinking about my culinary journey over the years. And it seems like I have quite a long list of disasters that happened during the adventure.  Like, this one time, I saw this recipie for Mango Souffle and it somehow went sour; Like, you could see curdled yellow part separated from watery part! EEWW! Had to through the whole thing out! And then, on one fateful day; I saw this recipie of Lachay-daar Chicken(that's desi sub-continental recipie of chicken curry) and the recipie demanded Tomato paste. Ok, so I was like, in seventh grade or something, I thought tomato paste and tomato ketchup is the same thing. And then, you might as well guess what would have happened! Everything was fine with the recipie, except it was sweet curry. SIGH! But folks, that didn't discourage me! NO! World wasn't going to get rid of my inner chef just because I managed to make sour souffle and sweet chicken curry! I once got insp...

Asalam-o-Alykum Fellow hijabistas and hijabistas-to-be! Ok so I consider all non Hijabi beauties as hijabistas-to-be, so welcome to my world. SO, I am a mother of four and 39 years old young lady (Age is just a number, you know!). But Anyhoo, I started my hijab in 2014, so yes, you can say I am a newbie as well. And as soon as I started wearing abaya and hijab, man did I get hooked or did I get hooked. Now, I want every style of abaya and every color and hue and pattern and fabric and style of hijab under the sun in my wardrobe. Phew! Thanks God, I got that off my chest!  I am a freelance writer and have an online job. Besides that, I am good at baking, or so people tell me! I have been baking cakes for my kids birthdays and I love making theme cakes, that sometimes ends up as disasters looks wise, but still edible, Thank God!  Let me give you a ride on my bragwagon!  Ok, so the last one looks like a dead fish, but ...
