My beloved mother-in-law, Kasom Jai bt Sab Jahi Khan passed away a week after she underwent valves replacement operation in IJN.

We know because we've tried

Neither will a thousand tears 

We know because we've cried

Exploring Pakistan....

"Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself..."

(Flying off again...)

Last month, when I announced that hubby and I are going for a tour of Pakistan many friends and family asked this question: Is Pakistan a safe place to visit?

Given near-daily reports of sectarian bombings, targeted killings and Taliban insurgency in Pakistan, it was a legitimate question. The perception of Pakistan as a violent place hopefully, is an over-dramatized portrayal, nothing more.

We will be exploring the southern Ancient Silk Route. I will update my travel blog and share my two weeks experience exploring Pakistan, insya-Allah...

Date: 9 - 21 September 2015

Route: Lahore - Islamabad - Besham - Gilgit - Karimabad - Sost - Khunjerab Pass - Karimabad - Lahore - Karachi

Our 36th Anniversary...

"We don't stop dreaming and exploring because we grow old. We grow old because we stop dreaming and exploring..."

(Watching the sunset at Pak Bara)

 Just You and Me 

In the memories we’ve created

There’s a magic in the past

I wouldn’t take a second glance

To the stories we left behind… 

The hard times made us stronger

The sweeter times made us lovers

We will still climb mountains

or swim any sea, just you and me…
