There are moments in your life, when you feel, it's high time to walk out of the door and let go, and make a new beginning. scratch those old wounds, burn them, erase and learn from them. Its high time, I closed the door and said bye bye to people who have possibly done everything, to hurt and ignore me. It's time to look forward to a brand new beginning.

This photograph was taken at Alton Towers, a theme park in Staffordshire, UK. I fell in love with this castle, but it wasn't quite the ideal castle. It was haunted, hehe not really, they have simply given it that kind of look.

This was the cafe, where we sipped our last hot chocolat and cappuccinos and coffees before we made our way back to Geneve Airport, going back to UK. One of my favorite cafes in Chamonix, a mountainous resort in France. Unforgettable experience, I can't stop going La La and then Ga Ga...

My shadow is a part of me, it's playing around games with me, scares me, makes me smile, then cry and then finally laugh. Im glad I have you as a friend so close to me, who I am sure shall never leave me. P.S- The shadow image is mine and was taken at Alton Towers theme park, UK

The campaign is mainly run by : Rabi'ah, Amina and Halema from London, we are still looking for members in London, who will help co-ordinate material, which we shall receive from the MET Police in London. We shall also need people to forward petitions to their friends, relatives, whosoever is interested in our campaign. These are the first few baby steps our campaign is taking, for people who do not comply with our guidelines and don't believe in this campaign, kindly please don't participate, our battle is for a safer society, and not to ruin anyones reputation, we are not name calling any specific Muslim country, and just because these few bad things happen, don't make them bad or ugly states. We need to extract the root of the problem, we are fully aware, its a journey of a thousand miles before we get anywhere, but atleast we are trying to form a realistic picture to this. This is more than just lip service, getting into action and we would encourage all those indi...

Over the past few years, especially recently, there have been a lot of honor killings in the UK, most of them are linked to forced marriages, and not surprisingly, these honor killings have been committed by Muslim people. Recently, a Pakistani girl was brutally murdered by her father, brother and cousin brother, meanwhile her mother and small neices were watching the murder. the neices as small as 2 and 4 yrs old were compelled to stand and watch, so if they tried to do something in future, this would be their end. There have been numerous cases, call it illiteracy or plain 'Jahiliya' ignorance, which results in killing their flesh and blood. Me and my friends have decided to set up a campaign against honor killing and forced marriages, and convince the British government that there is a need to impose a strict law which condemns such barbaric activities. and there shall be severe punishment. In previous editions it was mentioned, the government wouldnt impose a law, becoz it ...

I love the Saudi styled traditional outfits for women. these are just a few of my favorite styles and colors. Interestingly, these outfits are from the different regions of Saudi Arabia, such as Najd and others.

I have noticed recently a number of people from different racial backgrounds speaking so nastily about others and more over stereotyping you if your not from a certain ethnic background. Someone called me an Indian when I am not, and the other day I heard someone thinking highly of himself coz hes a Saudi guy and thinks other are trash. Then I see differences and some high or low competition going on between people from Asia, Middle East or Africa. Let me make it clear people, the moment you start streotyping others coz their skin is dark, doesnt mean they are frm a certain place. I dont know what makes these so called PROUD and arrogant people so full of themselves, maybe your not all that and you think its okay to DISS SOMEONE ELSE. well heres a piece of advice for you, Islam teaches us equality and end of the day when we all die, Allah aint gona ask your ethnic background or wat family root u got. but wat ur deeds were and how you dealt with other humans regardless of wat their reli...

Is it justified to kill a man or a woman because we think they are tainting our family's name? Is it ok for a father or a brother to kill his sister and daughter. Ok for them to beat her, ok for them to beat the man who truely loves a woman. The list is endless and yet the reasons are never justified, call it ignorance or plain 'Jahiliya', people have killed innocent souls within their own families to save their so called ' family name' and save it from getting ruined. There have been numerous cases in the UK, this has become so common now, a couple were sentenced to prison, after they were found guilty of killing their daughter. Her body was found in the forest and she was possibly poisoned. Killing an innocent soul is 'Haram', forbidden, taboo. I never read in any Islamic book saying it's ok to kill someone who's pure innocent. A father killed his daughter, when he saw her talk to a boy, and then he automatically assumes, he is her boyfriend, espec...

Ya Ommi, I have felt so secure in your arms and slept forever as I recall. You have been my best friend and my teacher who shared my pain. Without you, my life would be so empty and meaningless, I would be misguided without you.. Watchout, for a new poem titled 'Ya Ommi' by me.
