And one more…

Posted by anas on Oct 21, 2009 in Uncategorized | 12 comments This should be final post of the day. I have been wanting to post these pictures for weeks now – or maybe a month (when did I return from Pak?). Anyway, so here is Musfirah – the bhanji (niece). Since I've named her I can't help but wonder if she'll grow up and say, why on earth did you choose this name? Or maybe she'll love it. Don't know. See and download...

Kids & Mosques

Posted by anas on Oct 21, 2009 in Uncategorized | 9 comments It is easy to find children crying at the top of their voice while their mums are praying in mosque. Are they really praying?

Posted by anas on Oct 7, 2009 in Uncategorized | 25 comments Almost 23 years of existence, and I am yet to discover (rather uncover) myself. I don't know much about my own self.
