Mom story

By Aaisha “Although I want to lose weight, it isn’t effortless; I can’t do it. It’s challenging. Sadly, I can’t keep a regular workout or eating schedule.” Like me, most women who have put on a lot of weight experience this issue. I find it difficult to exercise and eat regularly. I love good food, and I have a sweet tooth in particular. However, desserts are my weakness, and I occasionally overeat as well. I try to control my portions, but when the weekend comes around, my stomach grunts for more food. As a result, all of my efforts have been in vain. Sometimes I feel full, but the munching makes me think that way. Because I have a strong sugar addiction, it requires a great deal of effort for me to restrict myself. When I exercise or follow a diet, I feel amazing. Still, when I do not notice a change on the scale, I lose interest and depressively eat more, and when I finally get motivated again, all of the weight I’ve lost reappears. I have stopped looking at the scale since at

By Aaisha نوری محفل پہ چادر تنی نور کی نور پھیلا ہوا آج کی رات ہے چاندنی میں ڈوبے ہوۓ دو جہاں کون جلوہ نما آج کی رات ہے Eid e Miladun Nabi is one of the major festivals that Muslims celebrate. We commemorate this occasion on the 12th of Rabi ul Awwal. The followers of Rasool (SAW) celebrate the glorious day of the Beloved Rasool's (SAW) birth with tremendous zeal and passion and show their devotion to the Beloved Rasool. My daughter's school also had a vast Eid e Milad U Nabi celebration a few days ago. Teachers, staff members, kids, and parents were all accordingly attired. The girls were sporting gorgeous bright-colored dupattas with their white shalwar kameez. The boys were dressed in stunning white kurta pajamas. I attended the function along with my mother. A lovely recitation of the Quran Majeed with translation began the ceremony. The junior class student then recited the Hamd. Then the chain of graceful Naat started. My daughter actively participated in the Naat group a

By Aaisha We can't live without our maids, and this is a sentiment shared by all women, especially in Pakistan. They are the most important people in our lives. So consequently, we become enraged when she  unexpectedly  cancels her shift, acting as though we had just purchased her and made her our concubine. The same thing occurred to me; my maid didn't show up, and I had to complete all the work alone. I also left some tasks for her to finish when she gets here tomorrow. I was furious with her, but as my rage subsided, I realized that she also had a family, children to care for, a spouse, can have urgency, and, most importantly, she is a human , but we women don't think about them. Instead, we yell at them for not showing up for work and not listening to their problems. I did the same thing, but once my kids fell ill, I realized that her kids had the same illness, and if I couldn't leave my kids in that condition, how could she? I came across a blog on how Pakistani wo

By Aaisha Assalamu Alaikum, My name is Aaisha,  and I'm a mother of four—two girls and two boys—and a housewife. There isn't anything special about me because I'm a standard housewife. However, I want to step outside my comfort zone and try something new.  My only goal is to have fun and spice up a little. I started looking for activities a housewife could do while sitting in her room because I felt a little depressed about my regular daily routine.   As my brain gradually began to function, I decided to start writing. I looked into the subject but discovered that everyone was talking about everything except us - the housewives. Since I live in Pakistan with a very conservative family, people assume housework is easy, and housewives lead comfortable lives. Still, they don't realize that it is just as exhausting to be a housewife as it is to be a working woman.  A working woman gets a day off, or a holiday, while a housewife works every holiday, every leave, and even eve
