do good, be kind and stay gold
Hello! I know this so overdue and I absolutely have no excuses or reason for this. But better late than never right? Seeing that I have always done this every single year without fail, thought I’d continue with the tradition (though slightly late this year!) To be honest, this post has been sitting in my draft for the past few months and I am so annoyed I haven’t gotten the chance to post it yet. But today, I will!

Hello, again! Not too sure where time went – but it sure went by fast. It’s now September and I am still trying to adapt being back home. Every time I think about Sheffield, I get so, so sad.
I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to the place nor to my friends and it just feels like an unclosed chapter. To be honest, do you know what it feels like? A cliff hanger to a very good film, but then again, even with cliff hangers, there is always a part two to the film and I, too am sure that one day, when the world heals, I will be able to reunite with my friends in my favourite city.

Hi! I hope you are well and keeping safe in this unprecedented times. I know the world is slightly weird and everything is so uncertain. But I do hope that you and your family are in good health and keeping safe. This pandemic has been an eye opener, one that I did not expect to be in. We are in a middle of a world crisis – people are dying from this virus and yet there are still no vaccines found. It is indeed scary, not knowing what is going to happen in the next few months. Heck, in the next few days even. I, for one am worried of the uncertainty this pandemic has brought, in terms of life after uni and my work prospects. I am worried and terrified. But I’m trying not to let fear take over me. Like I have said before, I hope you are safe and healthy and I hope you are enjoying quality time with your family. It may seem that the fight is far from over, but we will get there, eventually. Be kind to one another.

Hey? Hello? Or hi? I don’t know where or how to begin! I haven’t been on WordPress in so long and I am shocked to see that so much has changed. It’s past midnight here and I figured I should start this blog again and tonight, I feel like I can finally do it.
don’t be too hard on me! I may have lost my touch!
A lot has happened in the last few months and amidst the hustle-bustle of life, I fell in …
News about Muslims in the press is hardly positive with the press often using words such as “extremist” to describe the Muslim community. Often, when attackers are identified to be of a Muslim background, the whole community tend to face the punishment and eventually, the term ‘Islamophobia’ emerged.

I’m 23 today. Twenty three. It’s insane to think that I have come so far in life (well I like to think I’ve done some pretty cool stuff). 10 years ago I was only starting my secondary school life and now I am now closer to 25 than I am to 20.
I’m sure all of you have heard about”Punish A Muslim Day” that took place on the 3rd of April 2018. I first found out about it from Twitter and I remembered feeling terrified. For the first time since I came to the UK, I was honestly terrified for my safety. At that point of time, all I could think about was how I will get hurt if I ever leave the house on that day. I became anxious for weeks and whenever I left the house, I get weary of my surrounding which was so tiring. It felt like I could never walk alone in peace.
Wow, hello again. It has been 2 months since I last posted an update on this blog. I’m quite disappointed with myself for allowing this to happen to be honest. 2 full months of not updating and 2 full months of not even attempting to write at all. It gets hard when you constantly have to think about what you want to write or where the direction of this blog is going.
