I like this page and how you discribed yourself. A muslim woman. It is all what we have to say. It has all meanings in it.
I love your blog so much. I used to follow your previous blog in blogger too. But commenting on blogger is very difficult. And so i just used to read yr beautiful words silently.
I am happy you are part of wordpress family too. Isnt it better that blogger?

October 14, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Hi. I wonder how did the in-laws take the news of your engagement? Were they OK with a Gori daughter-in-law? Did it take a long time to convince anyone? I am anxious to hear your reply on this matter, please write. Thank you for your sharing.
October 17, 2008 at 6:11 pm
My in-laws didn’t have any problem with the marriage. Neither did my own parents.

asslaamlaikum
interesting blog… I was raised in Dubai and what a different city it is now since I left (about 15 years ago)! I am always considering moving back but then discouraged by the lack of any real Islamic motivations for “hijrah” do Dubai!
w/s
P.S. Didn’t see http://www.MuslimMatters.org on your blogroll… do stop by if you haven’t visited before.
December 17, 2008 at 10:46 am
p.s. I think you need to edit your “about me”..a lil addition..;)
December 19, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Salam Fatima, long time, hasn’t it? Alf Mabruk on the new addition to your family. I’m glad to see you back this year.
December 21, 2008 at 9:16 pm
assalaamu alaykum
so happy i found your blog today (from the brass crescent awards page – congrats on your win for best new blog!) … i enjoy your posts and i especially enjoy your occasional “southern speak” being a southern girl myself =) (tennessee born & raised although currently lost in yankee land).
January 20, 2009 at 12:12 am
Asalamu Walaikum Sis,
I know an American Sister who recently moved to Pakistan and could really use some support/a call, whatever. I don’t see any contact infos here (I second the about page spiffing up), could you please email me and I’ll forward her contact info, if that’s cool.
Love and Peace
January 20, 2009 at 6:42 pm
wassalaam, yep okay, inshallah i will be happy to be in touch with this woman.
February 21, 2009 at 1:41 am
your blog is awsome! it made me laugh so many times. i have to ask you this.. i m sorry. are you a white american? because after reading your blog, i found it hard to believe that this wasn’t being written by a pakistani woman. you’ve picked up the culture pretty quicly. lol
August 11, 2009 at 3:13 am
Salam!
This might sound really strange but where in the world is the “follow blog” option?
I haven’t been able to explore much on your blog right now, but i will be back soon!
August 16, 2009 at 3:06 pm

Hello, I randomly came across your blog, it’s very interesting. So you are married to a Pakistani man, right? I’m just wondering if you have ever lived in pakistan or visited pakistan (the punjab area). I’m asking because I’m really hoping to go to Pakistan (faisalabad area) in January for my friend who is getting married there. I would go with her family who is from Pakistan. But the problem is my parents and everyone else thinks I am crazy and that it is too dangerous there and that I will die! I am trying to convince them that it is most likely a lot safer in the punjab area because the violence is closer to afghanistan…and I think that the people there would be really kind and welcoming. Besides i will be staying with my friends and therefore not venturing off alone or at night. So what are your thoughts? Do you think it is really that dangerous, my friend’s sister just went back with her 2 year old daughter 2 weeks ago, if it was that bad why would she have gone? Do you think I’m crazy to want to go? is there any way I can convince people that it is not that bad, that it will be a lovely place to visit? My friends have assured me of this, but my parents won’t believe it, they think it will be safer for them because they are pakistani, but not for me since i’m canadian. Anyways, thank you, haha maybe I’m crazy I don’t know…also i do realize that traveling is never 100% safe. of course bombs and stuff like that could happen anywhere, and no one has any control over that, but if it’s my time to go than it won’t matter where i am…that’s just what i’m thinking…Thank you for anyone’s thoughts on this. my email is amya88@sasktel.net

Hello Fatima,
I just went through your blog today and I wish there was more to read. I must say almost every single one of your posts was a lot of fun to read.
Keep up the good work and keep posting:)
Sobia
November 6, 2009 at 1:28 pm
That’s very nice of you to say, Sobia. I hope you do stop by again.
Thanks!

Hi Fatima,
I’m so glad I found your blog – absolutely love your style of writing! I’m curious to know how and where you met your husband and how you decided to take the leap and convert. Would love to hear your story. Keep up the creativity!
January 7, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Salaam, Fatima Jaan!
Nice blog you got here, girl! Keep it goin’.

welcome!

Hello,
I’ve been reading your blog in bits and pieces for awhile now and find it very interesting. I’m curious as to where in Texas you are, as you mentioned Wimberley in one of your posts. (I’m in Austin.) I understand that you probably don’t want to give that information out, though. Sometimes I worry that I might say too much myself.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your insight with all of us. I hope that everything works out for you and your family.

I love your blog.
Just to let you explain why I have deleted you from my blog roll as I am setting up a new blog and I will put it on there! (if that’s ok!)
The old blog is specifically about learning Bengali and the new one is a ‘gori blog’ or rather ‘mixed race blog’.
June 30, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Thanks for the heads up! I can’t wait to read what you have to write
March 1, 2012 at 2:22 pm

We wanted to share a film trailer with you, from the documentary film THE HIGHEST PASS which is opening in theatres April 27 released by Cinema Libre Studio.
The film depicts the beauty and spiritual mysteries of India as seven riders and their guru traverse 2,000 km in 21 days going from Rishikesh to Ladakh on motorcycles under extremely challenging conditions. Facing India’s chaotic traffic; overloaded trucks on winding roads; low oxygen and altitude sickness; floods, snow and icy cliffs, the riders climb 18,000 feet without dampening their spirits or, ultimately, their deeper selves.
“This is not just a bike adventure; this is the highest pass, the highest self.” – Anand
We hope you will consider sharing this with your readers.
