hectic college today and vacations ahead!

Greetings!
These days, I'm really into Taylor Swift's songs, all of them, Sometimes they hit the right place.
Today, college was really hectic. 3 classes and then straight to lab, Botony.... I dont like it :S I hate Section cuttinggg... u hear me Ma'm Saminaaa, I HATE SECTION CUTTING and all those ugly botanical plant names like vinca rosea, datura alba and all those yike terminologies like ploygamy, imbricate etc etc. I really dont like it!
I was so tired AND hungry by the end of lab today, I did'nt even want to walk but our canteen is so far I HAD to walk! Poor me! We ( me and my buddies) walked to the canteen and took our lunch ate it like hungry retarted people, made fun of each other, went back to our building, took practical journal from our teacher only to find out it's STILL unchecked, it's okay though, she's alot busy these days!!
vacations are just a week ahead now! I want to have a get-together of old school pals this summer, it'll be fun! Apart from this no plans yet...
I have got an assignment to do, herbarium. It's such a silly thing to do. For those who don't know: herbarium is a special copy in which you paste plants. Our assignment is to collect at least 30 wild plants of Karachi, paste them in the special copy, write their names, scientific names, family and blah blah blah. Then we've to make an index, get it checked by our lecturar and get it certified.  And i find it reallllyyy b-o-r-i-n-g-g-g!!! Yea So this task is up and I hope to complete it this week :p lol if my friends hear this they'll laugh :D cause that's not easy, It actually EATS alot of time and yea tommorow we've planned IT means Ijtima'ii Tulla means that me and friends are'nt going tommorow so I have plenty of time for the assignment.
And actually my 26 days old nephew is on my lap right now ( which is a big distraction as I can't concentrate on blog, cant take my eyes away from his angelic face! ) I love to see him sleep like this. When he's sleeping and I look at his face, the world seems so peaceful.
I love these tiny little people whose smiles are contagious and whose tears sadden every sight. Kids are so beautiful and they know how to smile unlike we adults, who smile ocassionaly even that is sometimes fake.

I know today's post is a bit lame because the assignment is seriously driving me crazzy. I've been collecting and Saving plants for 2 months now! and they'r still not complete.

hopefully next time I'd bring something more awsome
till the over and out

My Story Of Becoming A Hijabist And What I Have to Face.

Greetings!
Yes, I want to share what being hijabist is and how do people reflect to it...
I am ALHUMDULILLAH a hijabist which means I cover my whole body except my face, hands and my feet. This is a 'Farz' (duty)  by my religion. I'm proud of it.
It is the hijab that makes me feel secure, it is the hijab that makes me confident, Hijab makes me feel more special as a woman. I have'nt been a hijabi from a really long time, But when I started it, I have made a firm promise, to myself and to my GOD that I no matter what, will Never ever abandon it, I will not take it off EVER, INSHALLAH!
I've not seen many people who start hijab by themselves. There are few. Most people I know who practice hijab because their so-and-so asked them to. They do it as sincerely as anyone else but what my point is that their reasons were not their feelings from inside. It was'nt their own will.It was'nt their own motivation from their own hearts. Mine ALLHUMDULILAH is. Someone, whom I respect ALOT did give me knowledge about it and told me all about it, It was my teacher who knew that teacher is also responsible for their students' personality grooming ( It's something teachers have forgotten now). She used to teach us not only her subject but also how to live. There were times when we used to ask her that we don't want to study So If she could please please give us a lecture on other stuff or to start a class discussion! (we were spoilt by her love :D ) And She, with all her love used to give us a nice lecture. Sometimes it was about hijab, Sometimes it was about what are roles of woman in Islam and Sometimes it used to be about what steps you should take if someone is trying to harass you!
I was young that time when she used to tell us about hijab and all the thing. I didnot pay attention to it then. But everything got Saved in my mind. It was after 3 WHOLE YEARS that something from deep inside me, woke up. I started questioning my self. I started asking myself.
I questioned myself that Why dont I cover my head when I never wear short sleeves or capri's or any short or tight dresses? It is the only thing left to do! then Why don't I do it?!!
Then one fine day I was going to a cousin's marriage, I asked myself Should I start it now?! I was still so confused about it. ( even when I was'nt a Hijabi I used to cover my head during traveling or on shopping). I asked one of my cousins (who practices hijab herself) She looked at me and Said 'You're asking someone who's already a hijabi, why would I say no if you're trying to do something good! Start from today and don't you worry about anything'. THAT was a moment! That was the second I Started hijab and Promised my self never to leave it. THAT was the Moment ALLAH blessed me with his mercy and I'll be forever thankful to HIM!

    On one hand hijab does make me feel special and all but on the other hand, people look at me like I just got out of their houses after cleaning their loos. Seriously, people sometimes do give me the looks where they tell me 'Oh you'r a low level crap because you cover your head'
This usually happens at a place where there are upper class gatherings and girls with sleeveless dresses and iphones in their handsmove when they see someone wearing a hijab near them and guys with levi's and dolce and gabbana shirt and jeans turn their faces and either laugh or get sarcastic about my hijab. My question is: Why can't people respect hijab and hijabist? just because my head is covered does not mean I'm a low life freak and I know nothing! Donot under estimate anyone with even talking to them. Why are people so mean?! I wear Hijab and I'm not respected. I open my hair and flaunt them everywhere and I'm respected..!!! Excuse me people what level are you on? You Shold respect a person no matter what they're wearing and what they're doing. Why do you discriminate and judge on these stupid reasons?! Who are you to even judge?! It hurts. You know, It really hurts!

Over and out with a promise to bring something good to you next time!

first post: life and me

Greetings...!!
So, here this is my first blog.... well not really first blog, I tried blogging before but could'nt get followers, got disappointed AND DELETED my blog. I did not know, How to market my thing properly, then I started reading blogs, And I Started reading them crazzily. I then came to know the real blogging world. Hopefully INSHALLAH this time I will succeed!
I am not blogging here for some-real-problems-our-society-is facing, I'm blogging because I want to write, I want to communicate to people. I, when, Sometimes get fed up from life want to come here and tell people my story and I want you guys to read me, advise me, somewhere if i'm wrong, politely correct me.
Life is Sometimes so hard on us, we all want to run away from it, atleast sometimes I want to. Sometimes I want to vanish, go someplace else, be free from all the reponsibilites and ESCAPE.
My escape from now on will be blogging world!!
Sometimes It's a total opposite, we'r loving life So much. Everything seems picture perfect. We want to live life that way forever and ever. But somewhere deep in our hearts, is fear. Fear of losing this happiness. Fear of losing this bliss.
Why Do We get tired then..?! When do we start penting...?! When do we start thinking there's nothing left now...?! Why Do We Give up And tell ourselves never to start again BUT Then WE do start again...?!
This life leaves me with so many questios...!!
And I hope I can type more fastly... My Speed is'nt So good, magar keraty kertay aa hi jaiy ga!
I will write more Soon, pleaseeeeee keeep folowinggggg
Thankyou :)
