Life Through My Eyes
On May 30th my cousin, Sabih, graduated from college and yesterday we celebrated! He loves basketball – and when I came across a similar idea a very long time ago, I had immediately thought at that time that I have to make this for Sabih! Fortunately, I remembered last week and decided to try it …
Happy Birthday Faraz! We sure are getting to the age where I don’t even want to say the age anymore! For Faraz’s [my brother] birthday today, I narrowed down the dessert to something either to do with chocolate chip cookies or Oreos relatively quickly because those are his favorite [cookies]. Ultimately, Oreos won over simply …
Tonight, we had an early birthday celebration for my brother Ayaz. I made Biryani: and then I made a M&M and Kit-Kat [with multiple layers inside of yummy-ness] birthday cake: and Cupcakes: French Vanilla and Milk Chocolate cupcakes, with vanilla frosting and sprinkles. Recipes to follow soon! Like my recipes? Click the below link to …

After months and months of planning, our trip to Texas is finally here! Ironically, my uncle lived in Dallas for years, and always called all of our extended family to visit… and my brother, one of my cousins, and I were the only ones to go visit him now. My uncle just moved from there …
Family Gatherings are probably one of my favorite things. Fortunately, I have such a large family and it’s not just on holidays that we all gather. In my opinion, the best kind of weekends are those that are family-filled. Fortunately, I have a lot of family that live nearby and some in other states and Canada …
The candle below was the only “light” we had on in our whole house during Earth Hour earlier today. And you know what? It was great. Not only because it felt nice to do our small share for our planet… but because all four of us sat around in the family room (in the dark) …
This is part two of the post from here on the following questions: You know what I’ll never understand? Why patients with heart related symptoms are made to wait an hour (plus) in the waiting room in the emergency room. Why patients on a “cardiac diet” are fed cheese sandwiches, lasagna, and other such things …
