A beautiful evening (25th of May, 2007)

I am not a writer, I am not a poet, I don’t possess the art of eloquence but I try nonetheless to jot down whatever is on my mind. Speaking your mind through writing is the coolest thing especially when there aren’t many people around to listen to your rants and mumbles.

This blog is my voice, it’s a window to my inner self!

PS: Finally I managed to upload a header and this time it is the one created by me. However, I took the photo of moleskine journal from flickr.

PSS: The photo above was taken by me! :D

  1. Welcome to wordpress! Hope you’ll embellish your blog with your brilliant writings.

    umeed laram che sta blog ba da ranha yao koshish wee, pa de gloomy wakhtoono ke

  2. Thank you Aadil, I’ll try my best :-)

  3. Ayesha
    Welcome to the world of Worldpress….Writing is not unfamiliar to us but its these layers of presentations, we have to learn….

    I hope you put some more short stories. I have already added you on my blogroll….

    Keep up the good work

  4. Sure Kashkin, I’ll keep trying.

  5. Pages looking real good – Very good posts as well. looking foeward to readin new stuff from you soon.

  6. Thanks Nadeen!

  7. the header’s beautiful! dark overwhelming clouds.

  8. Love the new header – Its WAY WAY COOL!

  9. Thank you guys :-)

    It’s my photography :-P

  10. “It’s my photography”

    Yeah right! Next you will tell us you lent Dali a hand in painting The persistance of memory. *raised eyebrow*

    you stand at the crossroads
    of highroads and lowroads
    and i’ve got a feeling
    it’s right
    :p

  11. Shobig, you don’t believe I took these photos? Hmm, means the pictures are nice. :-)

    The persistence of memroy (the painting) was made in 1931, I am not that old… :-P

  12. love the new header – Yellow is the best colour in pictures!

  13. Thanks Nadeen! :)

    Yes, it is indeed.

  14. Ayesha, I’ve listened so many times a song on ptv, sung by ‘malka-e-tarrannum’ ‘Kabhi kitabon main phool rakhna’.I think that should be a red rose but ‘aap ki kitab main yellow’ What does its logic?

  15. Convenience! :D
    I didn’t find any other flower excpet for yellow jasmine.

  16. should I say this header is an eye candy? yes probably … :-)

  17. Thanks aadil :P

    I got it from the internet.

  18. Nice page layout – You keep changing – Its good to have fresh outlook on our pages!

  19. Especially your pages!

  20. Thanks! :)

    But I am planning to keep it for a while. There ain’t much to choose from. And actually in every theme some thing is missing. I like this one too much but if you notice the category and tags don’t appear under, above or on the side of the post.

    I think I am finicky :P

  21. *I think…* Uff! these mistakes and this theme doesn’t have the edit thingy either.

  22. I love the header with the candles -Its beautiful – as usual, pages looking good :)

    You are a designer – I bet you decorate the house as well – you have great artistic sense.

  23. Thanks Nadeen! I basically changed the theme for you because you had problem seeing the comment box. As for the header yep it looks good :P

    I live in the junk yard :P I’ll decorate and unleash my artistic abilities only when I have my own home one day.

  24. Thanks for your comments [rather no comments:)] for Daman-e-Koh pics. We were there with Aadil as he had not viewed ISB from there yet. chalo qasam tou tooti!

  25. Thanks a lot – I love the candles in this theme –

    And Goonga – you read comments on my pages but you never read the topic – you were one good addition to my comment box :(

  26. I am there… Its just could not curb my nerves to respond her comments there, you know Api what I mean!

  27. Ayesha – I had a room in my moms house – I loved it – kept it nice and clean – my room – and had colur theme in it – it was practice – when I got house of my own – I was already trained – I had issues cooking proper pakistani food – that was the real challange.

  28. LOL – Rashid ji aap darr gaey – khoon sookh jaaey to insaan GGONGA ho hi jaata hai – Aapi ka danda – i like that – chalo parh to liya karo – khairiat ki khabar de diya kejiye please!

  29. GGG..GOONGA is more like it – Shahrukh style – LOL!

  30. …lol.
    “Aap bhi kamaal karti hain Api, abhi abhi to apne Rashid bola, aur ek hi pal mein Goonga kar diya…”

    But
    “It‘s alright Senorita, Bade Bade Deshon Mein, Aisi Choti Choti Baatein Hoti Rahti Hain.”

  31. Goonga…
    DDLJ… I love it :P

    And yes, your pictures are really very nice.

  32. Nadeen, my artistic sense works well in the virtual world :-P :-P

  33. DDLJ

    I had watched it more than 50 times in one year when it was released. I had memorized its dialogues as we friends had a game of playing any of role(called by friends) any time at random. And I never got failed whenever I was challenged. {Raj: You son of a gun!}

  34. I can’t tell how many times I have watched it. But what I know is that it is my all time favorite movie. And DDLJ made it to the Guniese Book of World Records as a longest running movie in the history of cinema.

    If I am not wrong it still runs in some theater in Mumbai (since it’s release – non stop), one show per day (matinee show) :D

  35. Testing…

  36. What are you testing?

    I checked the settings in my cell phone. They are fine and still the problem hasn’t been solved :(

  37. I bet Rashid here is testing his Shahrukh Khan accent – please dont go shahrukh on me – I have had a crush on him since he came out – and he is 42 – right age for me too ;)

    Hey Goonga, I wish you would use your name Rashid in here – Its such a nice name – use it!

    Chowk mein goonga hona behtar hota hai :P

  38. If he was testing SRK’s accent he should have written KKKKK-Kiran :P

  39. No Kiran in DDLJ – It was SIMRAN!:P

    Yaar – go watch it again!

  40. I know Raj and Simran :P

    But Darr is my second favorite… so I thought he might be testing KKKKK- Kiran

  41. I was just testing configurations for N-Series which I mentioned elsewhere.

    Yes its Simran (Simi) & Raj and Guljeeta and chutki & O potchi, O koka, O bobi, O lola etc.

    KKKK-Kiran has been real controversy involving SRK, Amir Khan and KKKK-Karan.

  42. Hmm, already figured that :P

    :Testing:

    :P

    KKKK- Karan? I thought SSSSS- Sunny :P

  43. Nice website. I also invite you to read interesting news, views and more at http://sheddy73.wordpress.com.

  44. This is one my favourite headers in here.
    Nice :)

  45. Thanks Nadeen! :)
    I got it from the website that has lots of headers…

  46. Nice blog. I hope to return. And I ve added it on my blog roll; you don’t mind that?

  47. Ayesha, u rock! :)

  48. Assalam o alaikum. How are you :)

  49. Ramadaan Kareem :)

  50. Thanks Faiqah :)
    Good to see you here!

    I keep changing it but this one is there for almost 2 months :)

  70. Tagging you today – I dug up old photos from christmas here last year and also wrote about them – you have to read the post as a sample (Christmas 2007), then dig up old pics at your end, post them and also give info about them.

    Lets see how you see things from your camera’s eye :P

  71. Well, I never took photos of any places (as such) :?

    Let’s see if I could post other photos (by me) and have some commentary :)

  72. Good – looking forward to it :P

  73. A nice theme:)
    The header looks great on it!

  74. Although I liked my previous theme but just for the sake of change, I changed it :P

  75. yaar – this theme is same as my original one? Never realised how convenient it is to go through posts in this one – maybe I will change mine now too – high time!

  76. Beautiful theme Ayehsa, and ur page is now full of coloures and various objects. Its awesome! Keep it on.

  77. Asma: Sure do change your theme. I am looking forward to it :P

    MZ: Thanks… wordpress is giving me some problems but hope that would be sorted out soon :)

  78. This is the first blog from Peshawar that I’ve come across in blogistan. And I guess I would’ve followed it anyways.

  79. Welcome! :)
    You are also from Peshawar?

  80. i can not read anything in the “About Me” section… :(
    every single line is merged with the second one..

  81. Really? But I can see it fine and no one else has complained either.

  82. Yups, I’m also from the city of the bored.

  83. Welcome! :)

  84. Not everybody is welcome, eh?

  85. Why not? Though can’t do anything about this stupid moderation thingy :)

  86. You’ve just been TAGGED by ME!

    http://youhavebeentagged.blogspot.com/

  93. nice poem. here is another one …

    I carry a torch in one hand
    And a bucket of water with the other
    With these things, I will set fire to Heaven
    And put out the flames of Hell
    So that no one worship God
    Out of fear of Hell
    Or greed of Heaven.

  94. Ayesha,

    I recently came across your blog and was moved by your words and your story. I am writing from World Pulse Magazine, a media organization dedicated to broadcasting global issues through the eyes of women.

    I would like to invite you to share your story on our social networking newswire, PulseWire, for possible syndication in our upcoming online and print editions. A newly created group on PulseWire called the “Pakistan Cafe” provides a platform for the unheard voices of women leaders and changemakers from Pakistan. This group offers a collaborative and safe discussion forum for you to share your thoughts, ideas, struggles, and emotions surrounding Pakistan. We invite you to speak about the issues and obstacles women are facing in your community, and to share the solutions that are already underway, or that we can develop together.

    Our next print magazine, to be published in June, will include a Country Focus piece on Pakistan. We are looking to offer perspectives on the country that go beyond the image portrayed by mainstream media. By joining the Pakistan Cafe on PulseWire and posting a blog entry, your story has the chance to be included in our upcoming print issue. We welcome you to utilize this space to share whatever you’d like—be it your own portrait of Pakistan, your stories of struggle and conflict or your hopes and visions for the future of your country and people — with a supportive community of other women from Pakistan and across the globe.

    I sincerely hope you will accept this invitation to join PulseWire and make a post in the Pakistan Cafe. We encourage you to post something new, or something you’ve written in the past. Poetry, stories, opinion pieces, or just a simple introduction are encouraged! The idea is to truly provide a space for women to join hands across borders, and all opinions and experiences are welcome.

    To join this group, please visit http://worldpulse.com/pulsewire/groups/5053 and click “Join this group.”

    You will need to register an account on PulseWire to be able to participate. If you need help doing this, please let me know!

    And of course, I also encourage you to pass this invitation on to other friends, family, or colleague to spread the dialogue!

    I am available to answer any questions you may have and to support you in any way possible.

    In partnership,

    Amelia Hays

  112. Good work Ayesha..A word of advice from my side….. “KEEP IT COMING AND KEEP IT ORIGINAL”

    • Thank you so much for stopping by! I’ll try my best to keep this blog active :)

  113. The new theme’s beautiful!
    Whats the concept?

    • I was simply bored of those nature based headers. I tried uploading a painting but it didn’t work so I instead uploaded this beautiful illustration by Jeremy.

      This is basically a desktop wallpaper. The concept, honestly, is not known to me. Let’s use our imagination and figure out. :) By looking at the picture I feel the boy and the girl are about to start a new life but separately.

  114. Hi Ayesha, you have an impressive blog. Good job, keep it up!

  115. visit my blog, http://www.pakistanviews.wordpress.com

  116. Hi Ayesha.You have a nice blog.Would you like to blog at my blog http://www.FunDelight.com/blog

  117. Hey Ayesha,

    hope you are doing well. for past some months i am trying to start Peshawar Metblog and put Peshawar on the metblogs group. but, facing lack of regular contributors from the city.
    as your r a Peshawari and have been quite active blogger, so i wanna ask u to join this group @
    http://metblogs.ning.com/group/peshawar
    and could also invite ur bloggers friends from the city to join the group and start posting abt city, so that we could put Peshawar on the metblogs network.

    regards
    Manzoor

  118. Hi Ayesha

    I was just roaming around on net and fortunatly checked ur blog, i m ust say its admireable. very simple and makes its presence written by the one among us not from out of this world… :)
    keep it up…
    i am amazed Peshawar is renowned by its bloggers… :)

    • Thank you for stopping by. There are quite a few bloggers from Peshawar. I think being a regular, female blogger from this city gives me a little edge :)

  119. Your testing post via email came in my google reader but I can’t find it here on your blog

  120. Same here… it came in my links on dashboard but said file not found.

  121. Yea…your blog is on steps quite well and grabbed my attention to focus on the blog from the one of my city… :)

    • It’s good to see more and more people (read the women) from my city :D

  122. HA, I come across another blog that has “iwrite” in its title. Well done.

    http://www.iwwwrite.blogspot.com ( a blog that used to have iwrite in its title..anymore).HA

    • iWrite dreams! What do you write?

  123. Hey, this header header is an amazing one; did you design it yourself?

    • Thanks!

      Yes, I did it in MS paint…

  124. hey ayesha…nice header…u r a designer as well…great :)

    • Thank you!

      It isn’t a rocket science. Did it in MS paint and the sketch in a program called Picasso or something :)

  125. But i am feeling like to study Rocket science to understand the picture in it….

    • Don’t ponder too much! I changed the header :P

  126. Nice blog Ayesha!

    • it’s one of the nicest and allround blog in town, but it’s been quite a while since author was seen on wordpress…

    • Natasha: Thank you! :)

      Yasser: I am honored! :)

  127. //it’s one of the nicest and allround blog in town,//

    I agree.

  128. acchi blogsite hai aapki !!
    it was nice reading ….

  129. Hi, Oct 28, 2009
    Car Blast in Peshawar, 15 killed (see full story at this website) http://www.youwantweserve.com/

  130. send me your email and i’ll send you a wave invite. send me an email thru the one i just provided in this reply (hopefully private)

  131. Ayesha! It’s really a very interesting blog.. U have got a great taste and habits.. Here I should really mention my heartiest feelings about Peshawar, the city where though I lived only two years of my life at the start of my career when I was posted there after graduating from Punjab University Lahore. I really loved my old memories of those two years I spent at that Lovely city of Roses, Great Peshawar. I really enjoyed my time and I used to go Peshawar University, Islamia College and The British Council and French Cultural Centre at University Town. I am very sad about recent bombing going out in this great city. I really feel sorry for the city and the peace living citizens of Peshawar and let me tell U that we the people of Punjab and other provinces are with U in this time of sorrow and grief. May your great city finds its old peace and calm. Let us pray for that….

    Adnan

    • Thank you for the kind words. Things have been changed quite a lot though all the places you mentioned still exist but common people aren’t allowed to visit.

      Amen to your prayers for peace.

  132. Hey Ayesha, are you Ayesha Banerjee from Wake Up Sid? I gotta talk to you then!

    • I hope you aren’t being sarcastic here! :D

      Oh well, if you want to contact the beautiful actor who played Ayesha Benerjee in WUS then try your luck here: @konkonas
