Life Through My Eyes
This morning, a co-worker gave me such beautiful flowers for Mother’s Day [that is this weekend]. I love flowers! The best part about these particular flowers? They are to be planted… and I can’t wait to see them bloom. Happy (early) Mother’s Day to all the Mama’s! I hope we Mama’s use this day to reflect …
Growing up, one of the things I loved was going to work with my Abu for “Take Your Child to Work Today”. The tables turned today when I got to take Arham to work with me. While I never imagined working away from home when he was so young, life happens and for my Arham …
Published! I’m happy to say that my [first] book of a series of recipes is published and can be found by clicking here. It is also available directly from Amazon (click here for Amazon link). The above links I mentioned all are physical copies of the book (paperback), but if you prefer digital books, it is also …
Is that really something people need to be told or reminded? Earlier today, my brother Ayaz and I were running a few errands when in the middle of the road, some guy decides to REVERSE his car in the middle of a busy intersection right by our house. On a jug handle. This guy was …
Let’s start off this post first and foremost with a “Ramadan Mubarak” to all the fellow Muslims. May Allah (SWT) guide us all in the right path, and accept all our prayers, fasts, & good deeds during this blessed month. Ameen.

This past Saturday, we celebrated my aunt and uncle’s silver jubilee [about a month early]. Their anniversary falls in the middle of Ramadan this year, so their kids decided to throw them an early surprise party. My aunt and uncle in Canada will, inshAllah, mark their 25th milestone next month. My parents just celebrated their 30th wedding …
One of the most irritating things of a person’s character I find to be is this: creating false statements about others. Worse? Passing it on. It could be something frivolous or on a grander scale. Either way, it’s baseless. But it’s something I have never been able to tolerate. I pray to Allah SWT that it’s something that never …
Oh dear Rutgers. Former school of mine. Pretty much housed in my backyard. As a student, I was always proud to be affiliated with Rutgers. I mean, come on, how many schools do you know that have turned down the IVY league status? You represent the state of New Jersey. But, for one reason or another, you just …
A couple of weeks ago, I found Ami trying to find my baby pictures, and it was so nice to go through some of our old pictures from our childhood. It had been a while since I had gone through them. Many of my newborn photos, including the first photo taken of me mere moments after …
Way back in my freshmen year of college, I had to write a ten page paper against the death penalty. If I had to do it now, ten pages would have seemed nowhere near enough. I could go on and on. Fittingly, I chose to title it: “The Most Premeditated of Murders”. Evidence aside, in …
