What I've been upto...

Sorry... been on hiatus for a while... had MIDTERMS man.. but alhumdalillah they are all over now (as of yesterday)! Soooo... wooo hooo... Reading Week!! Nothing much planned at this moment.... tons of sleeeeeep... maybe fit in some reading here and there... wanna hook up with my Farhi.. and work here and there.

But sooooo much has happened in the last month, that i havent gotten around to telling y'all.

First, my cousin & his wife came down for Pakistan about a month ago!! Finally... but bad timing because me and Az have been crazyy busy with school and midterms. They had initially planned to make it for Bro's wedding... but it didn't work out unfortunately :( BUT they've seen like every pic and video related to the wedding.. so it's all good. Even the decorations from the Mehndi are still up.

So we've been taking them out and about... to you know the typical Canadian hotspots... Niagara Falls, shopping malls... Downtown TO... Gerrard Street ofcourse!.. and we really have NO IDEA where else to take them. They're around my parents' age... so stuff like skiing and skating and wintery activities don't really appeal to them... so that rules out a lot of stuff. Well, we went to Nathan Phillips Square for WinterCity 2 weeks ago... it was soooo cool! I'd never even heard about it until Rehan mentioned it last year... there was an ice sculpture exhibit.. and skating and a concert. But, it was damn cold that day :S so atleast they've been able to experience the "real" Canadian winter. Any ideas where we can take em?

Second, I am a Naani! My niece in Pakistan, Nazia had a baby boy a few weeks ago! Which makes me his Naani, which roughly translates into a Grandma :S ... pretty crazy huh? And my parents are Great-Grandparents... we've all jus aged a generation.. so the next time any of you complain about being 24 or whatever... think bout me.

Third, went to Deej's lil party.... was soooo much fun. Tons of wicked food (you have amazing skills in the kitchen!), good friends, more than enough indian movies, songs and dances... and moral of the story: Johnny still ain't all that!

Happy belated Bday Homo :) and the monkey was jus tooo funny... and the CAKE... Marr u really outdid urself with that one. Interesting night that is for sure!


Ohhh and tons of yummy food making been going on at home as of late... we made Chana Bhatura last week, Daal bharri roti last night... and other things i cant even remember.. ohh and we're gonna make halwa puri on the weekend... mmmmm my favourite!


Hina's dinner party, Feed the Streets & Reading Week coming up... should be a good week :)
