“If only you’d remember before ever you sit down to write that you’ve been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart’s choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. I won’t even underline that. It’s too important to be underlined. Oh, dare to do it, Buddy!”

salaams, I liked your weird post
visited via maliha. Just thought I would ask if you would like your blog to be listed on nisaa? http://www.nisaa.ca Please email me at info@nisaa.ca if interested. shaz.
Aadab. I am a 60 Plus Hindu just for introduction. I just sampled your latest and first Posts and some in between and found them to be of good taste and promptly saved your Blog to my Blogs favourites. Just now learnt that Hajera was also the name of the wife of Ibrahim. The one other Hajera I knew who is no more, mother of three adorable girls who are all married now, was the wife of a gentleman named Mr. Javid Pasha, of the family for whom I served for over twenty years. I admire your writing style and your provess in poetry. God speed you.
I would just like to say that I ♥ Hajera.
