A LITTLE PARTY NEVER HURT NOBODY

QUESTION.....WHERE AM I GOING WITH ALL THIS...

I'm sure my friends..acquaintances...family and people who've just happened to come across me are wondering what gibberish is Hannah talking....does she even have a point or is just talking off her head...hmmmmm.

Well I admit I do know what I think..how I think and feel about many thoughts swimming in my head but what I should say or not say...express them the way they arise or edit cut and paste and then put it across in a correct FASHION not offending anyones puritanical sensibilities...shall I speak or not speak??

So I think I should go ahead with the web of thoughts in my head and and try dissecting them as they pour in...

How many of you have watched the quirky fun short drama series..Sex and the City??
I absolutely love watching how Carrie Bradshaw...

I love her easy going carefree life as a writer.sitting by her window dazing out through her white muslin curtains swaying in the NewYork breeze..or at a coffee shop witnessing a make up or a break up of a relationship or the day dreamer behind the cash counter or the not so handsome poor guy running in to grab his morning cup of coffee before dashing to office...thinking whether last nights roses meant anything to his date.....Carrie's mind speaking nineteen to a dozen..losing me somewhere along the way...but she successfully pens down...vices and virtues in a relationship...analogizing fashion and relationships...fashion and the opposite sex...what should be done   and not be done in a relationship..(just as Charlotte warned her not to go ALL the way with Mr.Big..the 1st date....she did exactly that and wondered throughout the dramas 6 seasons if she had not the 1st night would her relationship have been any different than it was for the entire 6 seasons).Searching the perfect man she would look for like she would for 'THE' perfect pair of Jimmy Choos or Monola Blaniks..

I came across a RM 485 grey sleeveless closed collar slim belted knee dress at a high street  brand store last week on one of my days off...(my OTHER HALF took our 3 boisterous kiddies off my hands..)The dress oozed sexiness not for anything else but for its demure subtle style...a little bit of this and a little bit of that...
so  shall i or shall i not..still deliberating!!

FASHION IS NOT A STATE THAT EXISTS ONLY IN CLOTHES BUT IS APPARENT EVERYWHERE...IN IDEAS..IN THE WAY WE  LIVE AND THINK AND IN WHATS HAPPENING AROUND US!!

RIDING THE WAVES AS THEY ARRIVE....

It has been a rollicking 6 years of bliss...laced with lots of bittersweet chocolate....3 successful NATURAL deliveries...pre-&post baby blues...diapers..(still changing...)milking no..but buying milk cartons by the truckloads...a tad bit of travel..(pregnancy bumps and i could'nt reach an amiable decision on the travelling bit)...lots of yummy weddings which I could not attend....why??well because my other half could not bear to be parted from me for a second....and his WORK could not bear to be parted from him for a second either...so WE all stayed together as one big happppy family...!!

(short but sweet)

SHOPPING IN ISTANBUL


HOW 2007 CHANGED MY LIFE AROUND......

hahaa...i bet you all are thinking...'oh dear..i wonder what happened to this poor lil'rich girl....'nothing much  but something what happens to all..MARRIAGE....!!
Mine was a kick ass one....a  whirlwind romance..being literally....met in june,,,engaged in july..married on paper in august and left my parents house 2 months in november... 2 days later flying off for our honeymoon to magical Istanbul...
Magical....it surely was...where every mosque you went to was a reawakening to your soul and kindled your mind to what all those walls may have seen...heard and felt and lived on to never tell the truth expect what we've read or heard in history books.


I could go on and on for pages about Istanbul...but think not!!
 Food was the best ever...from their street food at Istikilal street to the Lil'cafes tucked away in the streets along side the Sultan Ahmet mosque..


I just realized that hussain and I did not feel the need to go any clubs or any thing indoors...
we loved being out...walking the cobble stone streets around the Grand Bazaar.Grand Bazaar..I thought would be something of a flea market...but i entered that place just to be greeted by stores such as Chopard and Cartier...I WASNT PREPARED for that....here i wanted to take a sneak peak and there was hussain pulling me by hand in the opposite direction..
I did manage to visit Chopard..they had they most prettiest pair of dainty chandelier styled daimond emerald earrings..identical to a pair you would read about in some classic english novelist's description of some debutant making her debut appearance in English society....this certain pair cost $5000...sighhh....!!We carried on walking..
...i DID buy an extremely sexy pair of D&G gold shoes from a store on a boulevard near Sultan Bayazid's tomb......$300 and a very over the top sexy leather jacket with a fur collar which i never wore much in the winters of my dear city Islamabad..for $500....yeah!!


Such were amongst the many delights of our honeymoon in Istanbul...
