I am a 19-year old girl with aspirations and dreams too huge that it couldn't fit my heart, brought up in a culture too mean to allow those dreams to breathe. My life all along has been an amazing journey, Alhamdulillah. I have lived both in poverty and luxury, cried most of the time and laughed as well, feared the human beings and learnt the meaning of love, felt insecure and evolved to take the leap of faith. I have seen the life lessons of others that made me cringe as I thought of my fate. I befriended people who had to think twice before buying lunch. I had friends who spent extravagantly for petty stuffs. My parents didn't have the faintest idea of education yet they allowed me to go abroad to study medicine. I was told by my peers I couldn't even speak up for myself yet I had faith that helped me to defend others today. From child abuse to gender injustice, I've learnt to see the world with a mind and heart too old for my age.
I am a yet-to-be dental surgeon (inshaAllah), trying to be a faithful student of the Quran atleast through Bayyinah TV, studying part time Diploma in Arabic Language under Sheikh Akram Nadwi, loves to read a lot although my schedule rarely has mercy upon me to have that luxury, travel frequently just to get the adrenaline pumping, loves to take a stroll at night and have a huge passion for integrated Islamic education and character building.

This is what makes my life peculiar and amazing at the same time. It showed me an array of experiences like no other. It moulded me into who I am today. It provoked *dangerous* passions in me which I never knew was possible. This blog serves to be a collection of my thoughts, reflections, experiences and life lessons I went through. It aims to help others that might be in the same boat, those who need a pint of inspiration, those who are looking for a meaning in this life. I hope it becomes a platform where I am able to share what I learnt in hope of others benefiting from it.
I don't say I am a godmother with a magic wand to make the answers appear out of the blue or to lighten up your day instantly. But, I do say let's undertake this journey together. Through words, let's unravel this world and peel all it's illusions away, seek what lies at it's core, be amazed at it, cry and smile at the same time, love without limits, fall hard just for the joy of getting up again and ultimately have hope that the Life ahead is inexplicably beautiful.
