All that glitters is not gold: the journey of my self-discovery

The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun. Life is full of opportunity and beauty, as long as you are willing to fight for it. It is about finding yourself and the peace within, but sometimes that journey to self-discovery starts with pushing back. There are always people who do not want to see you succeed.

The Jewel of Pattaya

While planning a family holiday with my dad and sister, we are very much particular in choosing the right hotel because there is nothing like a bad hotel suite room to put you off on your holiday!

The Chase Begins With A Farewell

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am saying goodbye not just to colleagues, but also to friends, my greatest source of inspiration. “It is hard to say goodbye to a project which has been less of a work and more of a life. I will miss you all and I am sad that the joyride of working with you all has to come to an end. I bid you all good-bye.” Said Usman Aman the off going director of the movie Taaqub – The Chase Begin, during a farewell organized by the movie’s new director Talha Ghouri at his famous photography school, the event was attended
