Sometimes birthday gifts come before time…or maybe they are belated gifts from the last birthday….I would like to believe that after having a very turbulent 30th year, Allah Mian blessed me with an earlier gift for the 31st birthday….letting me have faith that 31st year is going to be much much better and everything good from the last year! Ameen.

“A” turned 20 yesterday…unbelievable. I still remember her as the baby sister who came back from the hospital. For her, this wasnt a very happy birthday. She wanted to celebrate her 20th the wild way with friends from her universty abroad where she would be studying. All would have been granted had her visa not been rejected. God must have had different plans. So on this not a very happy birthday, these cupcakes made her day and helped her understand that life can be yummy even being back at home!
Ps: Obviously at 20, life only seems to be good if you are away from home!
pps: I love you and wish you loads of colourful birthdays!

Big dreams come in small packages!
My first birthday gift of the 31st year!
I am a big advocate of giving presents to myself on important celebrations of life. And in 10 days inshallah there is going to be another reason to get myself a gift…..Its my first birthday after stepping into mommyhood…..and I happily turn 31 inshallah. Now, obviously a lady stepping into 31 will have a lot of material wants, but I tried to shortlist the wants and see what I need. Needless to say, the needs are neverending too. But after a lot of thinking and shortlisting I now need to descide what I want to get for myself out of these two things:


The phone I have been eyeing for quite a while now, but no ones given me like a totally satisfactory feedback about it.
The portable photo printer I saw today at the Sony store and fell in love with it…So, in the next 9 days I need to descide what I want out of these two…and go and indulge in some retail therapy! Suggestions are most welcome!
