I clicked this photo of a woman on a bench in Central Park, New York city when the fresh leaves of a fall wonderland could be spotted from a mile away. She wasn’t alone but I am grateful for the opportunity to capture her by herself because this image allows me to share the following:

Don't raise your girls to be porcelain roses protected behind a cabinet's glass sliding doors. Raise your girls to be wild roses growing on mountaintops, exposed to the sunlight and to bees. I give you this guarantee: that life requires the latter and the prior is a myth.

Throwback to being in Sedona, Arizona with my amazing @eisenhowerfellowships MESA group that became family.
•
General Colin Powell was the outgoing Chairman of the Board at Eisenhower Fellowships when we had program and I did have the privilege of meeting him along with other fellows of our group. The meeting provided an opportunity to ask one to one questions, and I think its safe to say that it was an extremely insightful conversation considering that our group consisted of people from all across the Middle East and South Asia.
•
The fact that General Colin Powell has moved on today, saddens me because with him we lost a generation of insight, a bank of knowledge, and volumes if history.

Rest in peace

“I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.”

On the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC at sunrise, wearing this interesting take on a man’s Chapkan from @generation_pk ‘s 2017 collection called “bring basant back” which has truly stood the test of time. I really wish @generation_pk would do more interesting creative collections such as these.

I am sure you have all heard about Hurricane Ida at this point. I have shared my account of what happened over on my blog.

The post is not a blog about my personal emotional experience or how I felt or how I prepared for the storm. The post is about how developed countries tackle natural disasters. The blog intends to elaborate how public/private organizations and infrastructure come together like clockwork in times of a crisis. The post is meant to inspire policy in developing countries like Pakistan.

The link to the blog is in my Insta bio. Care to read and share?

The pale stars were sliding into their places. The whispering of the leaves was almost hushed. All about them it was still and shadowy and sweet. It was that wonderful moment when, for lack of a visible horizon, the not yet darkened world seems infinitely greater—a moment when anything can happen, anything be believed in.

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We gro

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

I have 590 followers right now which is amazing considering that I don’t really target a specific group of people but i am grateful nonetheless. Thank you.

I wanted to make a post where I acknowledge your presence and elaborate a bit on what my account is about by telling you a little bit about me.

I am a “multipotentialite” and I believe I have more than one true calling. I am a working woman, a bureaucrat, and currently on a break, venturing back into academia. I am pursuing a doctorate in Economics in the US and I plan to change the world (too ambitious I am aware)

I love all things geeky and nerdy. I think I am also very creative and love to express myself and therefore I am interested in art and makeup and clothes and jewelry and interior decor and all things related. I find inspiration in all sorts of different stuff. I love watching TV and I love music. I find peace at home and around the people I love. I am deeply spiritual as well and often truly resonate with logical, intuitive forms meditation.

My account on Instagram is meant to be an inspiration for common folk. I will be sharing content that motivates me, with brief glimpses into my life and the things I do, whether its redecorating my capsule workspace the millionth time or a “studywithme” at dawn or playing with neon eyeshadows. I am documenting my life on this platform, in bits and pieces so I can’t promise that you will find the best skincare or the best makeup look or high end fashion nor the best studying tips here. But I promise you I will share how I make it work and I promise it wont be dull.

Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be.
