Ramadan is nearly upon us and in continuing my eff Ramadan is nearly upon us and in continuing my efforts to contribute spiritually, I have designed a customizable Ramadan Planner, the purpose of which is to allow the user to not only pre-plan their Ramadan Ibadaat but to also induce a measure of discipline. Swipe to see some pages of the planner I have added to give you an idea of what it looks like. It is an 80 page document that I have designed from scratch, and I will be gifting 30 printed, colored, and bound copies of this planner to the first 30 people who request it. It will be delivered to them free of cost, as a gesture of religious and spiritual inspiration. This is valid for people in Pakistan only. You can download a PDF of the planner by clicking on the link in my bio. The link will take you to my blog post which also enlists ways to use the planner. . . . #plannercommunity #planner #planneraddict #plannerd #planning #plannerlove #planners #ramadan #ramadan2021 #ramadandecor #ramadangifts #nerd

Happy International Women’s Day!! I wrote a who Happy International Women’s Day!! I wrote a whole dedicated post to some miraculous women who are thriving and happy despite the grounding shackles of our society and I want to celebrate them. But not just them, every woman of every shape and size and color, everywhere in the world and not because of their marital status or the number of kids this time, but for everything else that they do. .

Sharing this beautiful photo as an excuse to share Sharing this beautiful photo as an excuse to share one of my favourite quotes: . . Admirable, however, as the Paris of the present day appears to you, build up and put together again in imagination the Paris of the fifteenth century; look at the light through that surprising host of steeples, towers, and belfries; pour forth amid the immense city, break against the points of its islands, compress within the arches of the bridges, the current of the Seine, with its large patches of green and yellow, more changeable than a serpent's skin; define clearly the Gothic profile of this old Paris upon an horizon of azure, make its contour float in a wintry fog which clings to its innumerable chimneys; drown it in deep night, and observe the extraordinary play of darkness and light in this sombre labyrinth of buildings; throw into it a ray of moonlight, which shall show its faint outline and cause the huge heads of the towers to stand forth from amid the mist; or revert to that dark picture, touch up with shade the thousand acute angles of the spires and gables, and make them stand out, more jagged than a shark's jaw, upon the copper-coloured sky of evening. Now compare the two. . .

*At-home work space coming together slowly* . . I *At-home work space coming together slowly* . . I believe your atmosphere and your surroundings create a mind state for you. . . People need immediate places to refresh, reinvent themselves. Our surroundings built and natural alike, have an immediate and a continuing effect on the way we feel and act, and on our health and intelligence. These places have an impact on our sense of self, our sense of safety, the kind of work we get done, the ways we interact with other people, even our ability to function as citizens in a democracy. In short, the places where we spend our time affect the people we are and can become. • • #phd #phdlife #phdstudent #phdstudentlife #phdjourney #phdstudentsofinstagram #phdlifestyle #economist #econstudent #economics #gradschool #gradstudent #gradschoollife #economicstudent #studygram #studymotivation #workspacedesign
