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.

The Land of Rasputins
I come from the of Rasputins
With crazed fervour
And glazed minds
they rape and plunder
My beautiful Land
of humming brooks and sun-kissing mountains and brown-sugar sands
The Rasputins
set alight the universities of
Reason
lest the learned become mighty
They cast shadows on
Intellect
So it remains chained to their beards
Alas my friend
I come from a land of Rasputins
Who multiply like 'Agent Smith'
till whereever one looks
One finds that all faces,
all minds,
Have become that of
Rasputin
(London, Jan 2011. On the assasination of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer)
