If you're going to do something, strive to do it better than anyone else

I have been damn busy with my work these days and for the same reason couldn't update my blog in a while. I have read all the latest posts of my lovely followers till yesterday and commented too, I hope on everyone's post. I will try to read rest during this weekend. I've been looking forward to this weekend more because I am a little tired. I will catch some needed sleep :)

Beside this story of tiredness I have a little good news to share with you guys. I completed 1 year at my work, yay yay. I was little nervous when I started working in my company. For me it was a new country, new language and new culture. But with every passing day I was gaining the confidence, was trying to put in my best at work. I am still learning new things every passing day but at the same time I am so happy for all I have accomplished during this year. I must say my colleagues helped me a lot and they are always supportive to me. Got beautiful flowers plant at work on completing 1 year and almost got tears in my eyes :)

I hope all of you have a nice and relaxing weekend. Must take the last bits of summer before its gone.

Smiles (:

Celebrating 65th Independence Day

If our country is worth dying for in time of war, let us resolve that it is worth living for in time of peace - Happy Independence Day

Yes, my country is celebrating it's 65th independence day. No matter which country I live in, my heart still pounds for my very own country. Long live Pakistan !

Much love,

All the way into Autumn

Hello lovelies around the world. Today while coming to work I felt this autumn chill in the breeze. Can't believe that summers are near to over. We hardly had few sunny days and looks like we are already stepping into autumn. I am really not ready for autumn which will be followed by cold sheer winters. On the other hand we have to accept change and have to accept it with smiling face. If we accept hard things with smile then they don't look much tough, do you agree? I will go on a long walk near the sea and will say thanks to the summer for blessing us with warm days :)

Are there anythings you want to do before summer is over? Share it with me as I love to listen your voices. Have a nice weekend ahead!

Until next,

I K R A

Smile and you might change a life

So I am touching my space after many days. Yes, I have been extremely busy with the work now days and when I am back to home I don't feel like writing. Today I read something and could not stop myself writing about this. Yes, it's NATIONAL SMILE WEEK. Oh yeah, as I read it is celebrated during the 2nd week of August. At first I thought why we are having days and weeks for certain things. Smile day, friendship day, mother's day, father's day and list goes on and on. Because we can make every day a smile day, mother's day, friendship day etc. We will discuss this issue later some day but today let's smile baby :)

Smile more often because we are having a short life, too short to worry about everything else and not smiling. It takes nothing of you to pass a smile to some stranger but who knows it might be the only sunshine of his day. Just imagine how you feel when someone smiles at you, aren't you happy in that moment no matter how worried you are for something else in your life? And for all the girls out there smile more often and you won't need much makeup ;) I would love to listen what makes you smile (:

"Let us make one point, that we meet each other with a smile, when it is difficult to smile. Smile at each other, make time for each other in your family"

A Haiku : August shine

Don't remind August beauty of July

For every month has attractions of its own

Look ahead and absorb the essence

Its been a long time since I wrote a haiku. You can check other haiku's on my blog. I think it's a nice way to express your words freely. Anyone of you having haiku series on your blog? If yes kindly link up in comments and I will check back. Friday is here and what else is best on earth other than Friday :) I am having no major plans and I am planning to spend a lazy weekend watching few movies. I wish you all a very nice and relaxing weekend. 

See you on the other side,

August sounds national

Hello all beautiful girls. I hope all of you are having a nice week so far except the fact that everyone like me is waiting for the weekend. Well, that is nothing new because I start waiting for weekend since the start of Monday :D On a side note we have stepped in August. August has always been a little special to me. We have our national Independence Day on 14th August. I quickly checked and figured out that approximately 30 countries celebrate their national independence day in August. Anyone of you is having national Independence Day falling in August?

Some people also call August as the national picnic month. It was definitely news for me. Picnics are fun anytime of the year but they are more fun in summers. It has a little charm of its own. Packing up picnic stuff is amazing and no matter how much time you have at your disposal, you always left in hurry. Checking last minute details and then finding out you forgot few things and quickly packing them. Ahh that sounds exciting. I haven't gone on a picnic in long time but now I am craving for one. It is a nice and relaxing activity. How often do you plan picnics with your friends or family members?

Have a nice day ahead

Much love xx
