A student and self-proclaimed ‘writer’, from Lahore, Pakistan, currently studying English Literature in London, England. I used to think ‘blogger’ was a vulgar and obscene term used by self-indulgent pretentious numskulls, eager to spread their life and work out on the internet but now I have happily accepted myself as one of them. I wish to write as much as I can, and whatever I want. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you for reading “Watching TV by Candlelight” . I really appreciate it. Looking forward to reading exploring your site and reading your work!

Hello Momina,
You have a nice blog up here. Keep penning and shining. Your readers will find your blog inspiring, I am sure!
Have a lovely day, my friend!

Glad you decided to join in the world of self-pretense. We need more good writers around here.
That’s funny, I had the exact same reluctance and wariness about “blogging” – but I’m glad we both changed our minds! Been reading through some of your thoughts here, and I really enjoy your voice – very direct, unfiltered, stirring. Keep it up. May fortune and the Muse smile on ya.
What happened to Eyeliner Tragedy? I wanted to click “like” but it’s not there!
It will be back up in a few hours
Good! Prepare to be liked.
ok its up. i re-vamped it a bit
Hey there,
I just discovered you from a like on a poem by Alexandra Corinth. Your writing is quite magical, full of heady emotion and exquisite detail. I love that you managed to turn peeing in a public restroom into poetry.
Thank you for finding it magical! That is quite the compliment. I love turning ordinary day to day things into extraordinary philosophical ventures.
Nominated you for some well deserved awards..you’re writing really is amazing http://thoughtsfromtheoutdoors.wordpress.com/2012/04/14/the-award-post/
sigh…I mean your…I make way to many typos…
aww shuks, thanks David! I’ve never been nominated for anything before haha! how is the winner chosen? Or is there one? sorry I’m new to this
It’s blogger to blogger…Nominated means that you have the award…in this case there are 4! Basically it is a show of respect and appreciation for anothers work…follow my link, and You can see what I had to do to accept. I also linked your site on my home page…your writing is so unique, I really hope more people see…
the most important part of that statement was “whatever i want.” that’s the beauty here, besides you. that it’s your place, your page, your “book” to write whatever you want. take great advantage of that.
I like to think of this blog as a laboratory hidden away in a basement where I can produce things that are both disturbing and exciting.
ooooh. i like that image.

Struggled similarly with the blog decision and am glad to find myself on the same side as you. Sending some well deserved love to the Hemmingway quote, too. Well chosen!
Yes I realized later on that a lot of other people had the same reservations about having a blog as I did, but I grew to like it. Thanks for stopping by:)
I just love the way you write. The words that you use really brings everything to life. I include you in my blogroll because I always look forward to your next piece.
