heave ho! Trekking near Donga gali in North Pakistan's mountainous regions
Getting drenched in the first rain of the season or my own sweat, fanning vigorously during long power failures, experimenting in the pseudo laboratory known as a kitchen, teaching by day – typing by night, cuddling friends’ toddlers, gorging on fried fatty food in front of people who are clinging to diets, making up crazy lyrics to random songs, cracking corny jokes, bathing in philosophy and rinsing off with critique, religously devouring anything readable, helping people sort out tangled webs or just feeling one with nature … Thats life for me and you’re welcome in it.
Location: 1st cloud from Planet Earth. Hovering usually above Pakistan where I spend my day time. Periodic visits to the rest of the world.
This blog showcases my writings – published and unpublished stories, articles, features and poetry as well as work in progress.

sorting out tangled webs…totally like it!!
Nice blog, and specially that Donga guli track is awesome… when were you there?
Thanks for the appreciation. I was in Donga Gali last year. Amazing place!
Ya and best part is that it is still clean and natural, otherwise most of the tourist spots here; are contaminated these days
Both the picture and poetry are good, but try to write your own

Dear Farman Ali, Thanks for the appreciation. Everything on this blog is completely my own original work and nothing has been copied from anywhere. Just a few illustrations have been taken to help the text along and the sources have been cited. I have been writing poetry since my childhood and have had several poems published to date. All poetry, articles, abstracts, and short stories – that i plan to put in later are and will be my own work.
nice blog! i love that picture!!!
im awestruck Kiran….simply w0w!!!
Thanks Iffat
. Im glad you like it. Do have a look around and let me have your feedback for some of the pieces.
Love your intro Miss … =)
Explore the nature you will find yourself
You wouldn’t happen to post these while sitting at Espresso cafe?
No I wouldn’t
. Hardly anything coffee-esque about the posts even though I enjoy coffee. What made you ask?
Because as I read one of the posts I see someone sitting on the other end (obviously at espresso) who resembles you, typing away on her apple.
No, that’ wasn’t me. A long lost twin perhaps
Happy reading.
Didnt understand. what does it mean?
I’m sorry, I didn’t quite understand your comment. What does what mean? Are you referring to any particular post here? Send me the link and I will endeavour to explain.
Read about you on Facebook page, guess it was your father’s page. Following your art!
Thanks! And welcome!
Nice job.
Keep it up.
Thank you!
