I sincerely wish TLK bhai spend sometime in Tableegh.

He just needs your approval (probably) to dedicate his time more in learning the noorani ways of the Prophet (saw) and the Suhabas.. May Allah (swt) make him a source of guidance for us in learning and practicing the ways of the Prophet (Saw) and the orders of Allah (swt).

He has my approval and he has gone a few times. He has this one real good buddy who’s tried to take him along a few times but I don’t think TLK’s ready for it yet. And when he is, he doesn’t have to check with me on this. I guess some folks are good at giving dawaah and some contribute to the cummunity in another way. TLK does a lot for our masjid and the Islamic school…maybe that’s his calling…dunno.

@PakWoman

What is the one thing you love about yourself? What is the one thing you would like to change about yourself? Which celebrity do you think you resemble the most? What’s your favorite book/novel? What’s your basic approach towards living life? What is the best thing about married life? What was the one lesson you had to learn the hard way?

I know when to back off from giving fuzool key mashwarey.
I need to learn to be better at saying NO.
I don’t think I resemble anyone in particular…njgal once commented in my blog that I look like Nazia Hassan in that picture…but trust me, I don’t
No favorite…I like many…
Be thankful for your blessings, be content but strive towards a better life.
You have a fulltime buddy you can trust 100%.
I was too available for some people, in terms of giving my time, and they took advantage of it…

Why is Shak such an awesome Mod? What do you love most about Shak? Would you adopt Shak? Name Shak’s top 3 qualities. Ok, Shak, I got your paypal payment. Is this ok?

First of all

Well he listens and works well with his team. He is very respectful.
I like that he is not afraid of being criticized and that he respects his peers.
No. He’s too old.
See above for 3 top qualities, and that he comes up with great ideas for the forums he manages.

How much did you get?

@BarbieCue

Kuveschun tiiiiimmmmeeeeee! 1: Do you ever lose your cool? I have seen you getting upset very rarely here on GS but even then you manage to keep your cool. How? 2: Back in the day, did I ever manage to piss you off? 3: How come you’ve never been to Lahore? Does TLK bhai not know jinnay lor nai takeya o jammeya he nai? 4: ohoh do you speak poonjabi? Like fluently? 5: How did you first know about GS? 6: Tell us one most embarrassing thing about TLK bhai. I asked you this question in your chat interview and it was never answered so I demand an answer now! 7: When you visited Pakistan for the first time, did you feel it was any different than India? Did you run around in a field with TLK bhai, singing jaisa des hai tera waisa des hai mera? That would be all!

1. Yes of course. I just go blog and vent there.
2. Yes you did…but I don’t remember the exact moments
3. I hope to go there some day! He doesn’t
4. I’m not too fluent
5. Through the husband
6. There is NOTHING embarassing about him
7. Not much different at all…except you don’t see too many Sikh uncles on the street No we couldnt sing that because Veer Zaara hadn’t been released then

@el_topo

Hee. Is TLK scared of flies? Does TLK talk to himself? Does TLK give himself the thumbs up everytime he passes a mirror? Does TLK secretly twirl about, dancing to bollywood songs? Does TLK have well groomed sideburns? (Niksik, you’re not actually expected to answer these )

No he isn’t!
Yes, I have often seen him doing that.
Oh yeah <…like that
No he doesn’t…at least I don’t know if he does
Yes, he’s very conscious of his hair and nails.

@mirage

Tell us about your city, your birth place, your muhallah and streets were you a stylo teen or a nerd? what had you planned for future when you were a teen? How was the experience of motherhood? when you first time felt a new life breathing inside you. Who suggested Bari’s name? How was the beginning of the practical motherhood; i mean once Bari came into this world and taking care of her teeny veeny body little arms and legs, did touching her give you a mixed feeling of coochy koo and fear And how about choti, was she more naughty in the stomach? How was it raising two little fairies together? did you have to sacrifice your sleep and hunger and health and all that, growing kids up. What are your most cherished dreams about your future and the future of your kids Where do you see your self 20 years from today, if you were keeping a diary of your daily accounts, 20 years after today, how would you describe a day of your life, any random day.

I gew up in Punjab India..then we moved to Africa…then I went to college in Shimla, then Chandigarh, then came to the US. So I had a very interesting growing up! I was a very trendy nerd :D. For my future, I always envisioned a cozy home with daughters…and that’s exactly what I got! We had our first child after 6 years of being married. And when I found out, I was overjoyed and ecstatic! I felt blessed. MIL suggested the name and we loved it! I feel motherhood comes naturally…it’s a gift of the almighty! No, both bachis were well behaved in the tummy :D! It’s a blessing to raise daughters…they bring “ronak” and everyday, it’s a new thing ! Yes, all mothrs have to sacrifice their comforts…it’s a privilege. I think my husband and I are on the same page of parenting and we are working on providing them with a good foundation for their fiture…for a lot of it depends on what environment we provide, and then the circumstances. I see myself as a healthy and active grandma! I see myself doing pretty much what I do today except that my kids would be replaced by my grandkids

Re: Niks answers

@partyslims

If you really wanted to dance, would TLK join you, or go or sharmeela sharmala? Where would you raise your family ideally if you could? (basically talking about being closer to your parents) Does the constant rain over there get you down? Or are you like a propa desi and go out , twirl around in your shalwar kameez as a soundtrack plays in your head?? (like i do sans shalwar kameez ofcourse, err i mean in patloon and shirt pervs )

He’d be the sharmeela types Right where I’m at. MashaAllah I think this is a good place to be. Yes I do miss my parents and I wish they could be closer but under the circumstances, we’re better off visitng them frequently. No the rain doesn’t bother us. It’s better than 12 inches of snow and extreme weather conditions! It’s a beautiful place and you enjoy natural beauty and city life together! I hate getting wet in the rain though…and no I can NEVER ever dance and sing in the rain .

Have you ever asked for serious advice on Life1?? If yes, was it useful? if no, why not?

Yes. I have a marketplace approach with the forums…take what you like, leave what you don’t.

Re: Niks answers

@$ehar

I get paranoid by the concept of “marriage”, it scares the hell outta me and I feel like being single is the bestest. I have not been exposed to faithful men in my family & out of my family on the basis of quantity (85% are unfaithful to their spouses, not my brothers), would you please tell me how to get over this? How are you happily married? Expecting less is the way to go?

There are other men like your brothers. You have to understand that.

You don’t have to “settle” for what you get but be thankful and always work on improving. Relationships are built on effort and willingness. No one gets a fully cooked meal on a platter. Always remember that your husband could be thinking the same way about you.

If you were an animal, what would you be? Ideal vacation?

I never thought about that . Although I think I’d be a dolphin…all tough and shiny on the outside but a friendly soul.

Ideal vacation…go to Egypt, stay in a lavish hotel and visit all the sites in style!

@madinahme

What is your view on the ban France put on for woman wearing Nikab? What is your all time fav. food?

I’m not sure why they are imposing the ban…perhaps it’s a matter of national security…you know a lovely lady may actually be a bomb waiting to explode behind the veil . I don’t think a democratic government should limit freedom of religion. Those are tax-paying citizens and they deserve their rights.

All time favorite food is dal chawal and aloo ki sabzi with pyaz, achar and paapar and hari mirchi on the side. And a bowl of dahi.

Re: Niks answers

@Marmalade

I think I’ll ask some questions.. What are favourite TV shows? What are your favourite books? All-time favourite song?

I’m not a TV person.
I like reading all kinds of stuff. No favorite as such.
I love IMAGINE by John Lennon. And most British bands from the 80s.

Re: Niks answers

@BlueBells

Everything has been asked already! 1. A question that you’d want to be asked and haven’t been already; answer the question as well. 2. When was the first time TLK said “I love you” to you.Where were you, what were you doing and how did you respond? 3. I’m not entirely sure but you have 2 kids mashallah right? Bachey do hee achey or no? 4. Is GS ever a topic of discussion over dinner table or you guys take a complete break once you’re out of here?

1. I think pretty much all areas have been covered!
2. I was at the library. I knew he loved me but I pretend like I was surprised. I think I sent him a note back. I still have his note in my wallet.
3. 2 Daughters mashaAllah. I think I’m done. I’m very satisfied and don’t feel the need to have more.
4. We do talk about GS, not too much though.

Re: Niks answers

@njgal

Do you want to have more kids? Where do you want to live when you retire? What is the hardest part about teaching? Do you use Shan Masalas? Which ones?

Look at answer number 3 above.
Close to my daughters.
Trying to control yourself when you’re angry
I use the Biryani masalas, Nihari, Haleem and Tikka.
