Life Through My Eyes
Last night, my brothers and I went to the US Open. It was my first live tennis match and I loved it! See, I know not to call it a game! We saw Nadal play against Kohlschreiber, and left before the second night match [a mens’ double]. The stadium, Arthur Ashe stadium, I believe is supposed to …
Last night, I registered for Central Jersey 2013-2014 Heart Walk by the American Heart Association. I got involved last year and am so glad I did! I was able to raise $360 last year, so I am aiming a little higher and have set my goal for $400 this year. It’s unfortunate that I won’t …
In just under a month, I was able to raise $360 for the Central Jersey Heart Walk and I want to take a moment to thank everyone that generously donated towards this great cause. It’s been such a humbling experience. Everyone knows someone effected by heart disease, and it doesn’t have to be as directly effected as …
I just registered for the Central Jersey Heart Walk on Sunday, October 21, 2012 at Johnson Park in Piscataway, NJ, will you help fight the cause? Seven years ago, back on July 16, 2005, my dad had a heart attack. That day is forever engraved in my mind and was the scariest day of my …
Yesterday (Sunday) marked the first annual Halal Food Festival here locally in Central New Jersey. Did it run smoothly without any hitches? No. But you know what? An event at that scale almost never does. And for all those complaining (there seems to be quite a few of them), how about appreciating the event, and …
I went to see Rachel Maddow speak yesterday morning bright and early at Rutgers (my alum!). The event was a part of a series of events the Eagleton Institute of Politics is holding (I went to see Nicole Wallace speak several weeks ago as well and plan on going to see Valerie Jarrett next month also). Nicole …
So remember, when I wrote about my cousin’s photography business here? This past Sunday I got to assist her. She had the same client for the wedding and the valima (a reception), and since the valima was in New Jersey (and very close to where I live), she asked me to go as her assistant. It …
Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating! It’s very weird — it’s our first Eid ever without Faraz (who moved to Canada in July) and also our first Eid in our new house. We invited our local family (around 45-50 people) for breakfast/brunch, so that should be a lot of fun! Hope everyone has a great day …
I HATE when everyone leaves at the same time, and that is exactly what happened this past Sunday. We had family arriving last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for various family gatherings, but they all left Sunday. On Friday night, our aunt and uncle (Chotti Anna and Javed Chachoo) hosted a BBQ, and it turned out to …
It’s been a little over a week of summer vacation and i am LOVING the down time. It’s nice not having too constantly stress over deadlines… and these past few days have been a lot of fun especially. This past thursday was shazia’s and zehra’s graduation. because they graduated from different colleges within Rutgers and …
