It's just that I am quite unhappy today. May be it is because sister-in-law is back from Pakistan. Extra and unnecessary interference!

Everybody acts as if their worlds revolve around her. What she eats, what she does becomes a headline. Her words of wisdom should be taken seriously and acted upon. Her kids are the only kids in the world that need love and attention. I am not jealous or something and I really love the kids because they are cute but at times I get this painful realization that I am childless even after 3 years of marriage.

Even when my husband or in-laws, don't say directly, they imply thru their actions that I can't have life of my own unless I bear an off-spring. Specially my husband's indifference to me gives my heart sharp pangs.

The perfect way to spend Sunday

With coffee mug and your favorite book and loads of sunshine :)

So, mother-in-law is back to her old grudgingly fighting habits now after 15 days of her arrival from Pakistan. As usual the root cause is my sister-in-law L. It all started because L's husband didn't wear dark colored shirt for travelling. Mother in law has been nagging her husband for this since yesterday. She blames him for not telling that forty-year-old (who still needs to be told), what to wear. My father-in-law claims that he had but that their son-in-law had told him that he was comfortable with what he was wearing.

Today it started with L's call from Pakistan about her husband's dressing. I mean seriously, when will my sister-in-law learn to solve these trivial marital matters on her own? When would she stop disturbing our family environment? If her kids get sick, MIL raises hell. Our house has become a constant battleground just because of her. Alhamdulillah she hasa house, a doting husband and lovely healthy kids. Also, she lives nearby and visits her mom every other day. No troubling in-laws around. Just one sister-in-law whom both  husband and wife hardly pay a visit. Still, she is not happy and her endless


It's been 3 years for me living here like that, will these things ever change?

On this Valentine's Day, read this amazingly sad love-story of Mr. and Mrs. Jinnah.

Too Lively a Wife She Was For Jinnah!

"In his baggage, was a love letter by Ruttie: 

“Try and remember me, beloved, as the flower you plucked and not the flower you tread upon.” 

It’s in a photo-frame at Jinnah’s Mausoleum."

Yesterday, me n zee went to watch this movie Ek Main aur Ek Tu, a light-heart comedy cheered both of us especially after Saturday volcanic eruption at home.

The ugly words still hang in the air, echoes of which disturb my mind. But, I go on pretending not to care. As I am leaving for Karachi in a week, so I have something to look forward to. Couple of weeks away from this madness would be a bliss.

I see that I am blogging after quite a long time, because its difficult to gather my head and heart at one place. They both keep wandering in different directions.

Things to do:

1. Finish remaining shopping
2. Pack gifts
3. Start packing mine and zee's stuff. 

Anyway, it's Valentine's Day today.... let's sing songs of Cupid and Psyche.
