This blog is about the everyday lives of Pakistani Women - not the sensational ones of suppressed, battered women, but normal lives, with regular urban issues and concerns - surprizingly similar to lives of many many women all across the world.

Talk No More
Please dont ask me my favorite colour,
Actor, book, song, place
Dont chat to me about the weather
Or the movie you saw
I like you
But please,
Must you want to talk to me
Must you try to read more behind my smile
than what you see
Must you poke your nose
in my mind, in my heart
(London, Jan 2011)
Conversations, my Sweet
Are highly over-rated
And very tiring
But if you want to hold my hand
It is yours
If you want to kiss me
My lips are yours
If you let me take a moment of quiet peace
In the comfortable nook of your neck
I am yours
But ask not to look into my soul in return
It is not a theme-park you can visit
to marvel at the
The Grotesque and the Magnificent there
No
It is not for you to see
When you can have all else,
why do you still want to talk to me?
