A Pakistani through and through, I’m a firm believer in not forgetting the first step that helped you reach the top of the world. I don’t demand what i do not deserve…and before i make demands of my country, I want to do something to justify my demands. A disobedient child of the soil does not deserve to demand.
A financier by profession but an aspiring Gourmet Chef, i hope one day I’ll be able to go to Cordon Bleu and learn how to make pastry properly.
The Berkley MFE program is where I’m going to end up studying one day.
But then again i also hope to go to the moon, but whatever. I’m a believer in ‘the impossible just takes a bit longer.’
This blog is all about what shapes me. As a woman. And as a Pakistani.
A person on the cross roads of life… trying to see the way ahead through the mists of time.
I know where I want to be, I’m blundering around trying to get the directions.

More than that? *suspicious look* Did my mum send you as a rishta prospect? Buzz off!

I go to the moon every nite and come back while sun rises..
For who have sun, no longer search for the moon, and who have moon no longer search for stars..

Hi Miss Specs,
I’m a Pakistani girl too (and an aspiring gourmet pastry chef!) Thanks for keeping me amused and entertained 🙂
Hello Misspecs. I am pakistani too. I LOVE YOUR BLOG BECAUSE you write so nicely. I too want to write as beautiful as you. From your frend.
Very nice blog 🙂
Hey found ur blog through Naseem – and gotta say i really like what I see – totally understand the whole ‘rishta’ business and trying to break the confines of being a ‘good desi girl’. So then you can probably guess – I’m not a very good desi girl lol.
Hope things are going well and will be dropping by more often 🙂
(PS – used to wear glasses aka total Jassi style but have moved onto contacts. And yes the occasional coloured ones too :P)
Thanks Silvara 🙂
All not-good-Desi-girls are welcome here! hehehe 😀
Another fan of your blog! 😀 not sure if I’ve left a comment here before (got here through falak’s blog), so am leaving my mark!
Thanks Zeenu! That’s terrifically sweet!
And why are all your previous entries deleted?.. its before the SET ones….
They’ve just been made private till I get around to sorting them out. Patience, dear reader, patience!
Hi, I just realized from a comment on Mahwash’s blog that you are Islamabad based – and ofcourse, I promptly came over.
Loved the post on your homepage & have a feeling I’m in for a couple of hours of happy reading. 🙂
Since you want to be a pastry chef, i’m sure you’d enjoy this piece about White houses’s Pastry Chef.
