Wow…never thought this blog would still be here. Was perhaps hoping it would have faded away, like so many other things. But my fingers itch to type and post once again.
So I’ll just update me about me. As of now, I have:
(a) Gotten out of touch with my old friends. Online as well as in real life. I meet my oldest friend in the world every day and we just say salam, hug, and she goes to her class and I go home. I miss Waj and Sahar, and words cannot express the guilt that I feel at having lost contact with them.
(b) Become a niqabi. My face, hair, arms and ankles are all covered to the opposite sex. That’s the way it has to be. Male friends, can’t even think about it. Maybe typing it here would somehow explain it.
(c) Graduated from LUMS. But it has a soft spot in my heart, and I’m still there, doing a TAship, and wishing I could live the past 4 years over again.
(d) Become extremely busy. All I do these days is attend class until the afternoon, then go to work, then come home and study for various tests and sleep.
(e) Learned to love life. In a business-like fashion. Giving talks, doing transcriptions and translations, leaving music, trying to be the best Muslim I can be.
(f) Seen a lot of people get married. Just had to write that, since most of my free time (or not so free) is spent in attending weddings. At least five of these events in the past month.
Guess that’s all. Should get back to work. Feel guilty and not a little tired…
