^ I’ve been wondering myself what Reha’s name means. And I’m gonna take a guess at it. I think Reha means free in urdu. The Arabs believe that the definition of a name reflects in one’s personality. If Reha does mean free, it suits her, she seems like a free-spirit. And Reha, Shehzad means prince 
But I’m sure you knew that. He’s the prince charming you’ve been waiting for 
Of all the religious names, i like mine the best. Aisha means life or living/alive or lively or vivacious or joyful life. I just tell people it mean’s life. It’s simpler that way.
I love baby girls and I’ve put more thought into girls names than boys names. I’d want to name my daughter something simple but unique. I like names that phonetically begin with the Z sound…except I would spell it with an** X** because I think it looks sooo much cooler that way. Besides, there are not many Desi names beginning with an X, so I thought what the heck, why not?
And this may sound weird, but I think Friday is a cool name. Guess I was inspired by Nicole Kidman naming her daughter Sunday. So I thought Friday would be interesting. This is how I look at it. Friday is a holy day in Islam and EVERYONE looks forward to Friday. It’s kind of like saying everyone looks forward to someone with Friday as a name. It’s a unique concept and I thought it would be a cool explanation to give my kid if I decide to use that name. But only if it is born on Friday. And it might get **TEDIOIUS **to say Friday all the time…when it’s only Monday. (That can be depressing)…So, I’ll just use Friday as a middle name.
Mina, for some odd reason, I feel nostalgia for high school. I’ve no desire to repeat the classes and coursework and the waiting for it to be over. BUT i’d wanna be a teenager again, just for a while. You ever look at teenagers and think “they’re so young.” It’s a funny thought isn’t it? Especially when we’re not old ourselves. But do you ever look at teens and wish that you could go back if only for a while. And sometimes do you wish you could stop at the age you are now and just not grow older. Not necessarily stop time…cuz you want to experience life and its changes. But maybe stop the aging process, so it stays at one age…and doesn’t move further.
I’m thinking one of these days, I’m going to go and visit my high school. It’s only 10 minutes away from where I live. I don’t even have a desire to see my former teachers. It’s just that I want to remember and feel what it is like to walk down those familiar halls and stairs again. Crazy isn’t it. Since it’s in my system, I should get the feeling out of me…and go one of these days. I was thinking of going today (Friday) but I have to go to the grocery store and buy some ingredients. I’m planning to make cream of roasted red pepper soup today and ghirardelli choc chip cookies:) So, I’ll have to save the high school visit for another time. Maybe another Friday:wink: But it has to be done. I’m a big believer in getting things out of your system sooner or later.
