About Me:

Hi.

I am Shaheen.

I have loads to say, and some say that I can be a great listener. So let’s chat in comments?

I woke up much later than usual on a Monday morning.
Even though I was awake, I couldn’t find the willingness to get out of bed. To resume life. To live it. I stared at the ceiling, blankly. A stray thought would cross my mind every now and then, but it was otherwise eerily silent in the spherical space over my shoulders.
If I had to describe my mind’s state in physical terms, I imagine it to be like a small room, with low ceiling and white walls. It was flooded with fluorescent light. It blinded whoever was inside. It isn’t a comfortable space. It feels suffocating. You want to escape but it’s too bright to open your eyes and find your way out. And when you do open your eyes, all you see is a question - what is the point? It’s bold and in caps. The kind your mother sent when you were a teenager and had stayed out past curfew. Terrifying. Eventually, after some persistence from my flatmate, I got up. He said, “I will heat up biryani for breakfast while you brush your teeth.” It wasn’t a question. A decision was made for me. It brightened my mood instantly. I could see clouds and the sky from my white mental room. And then it dawned on me, the reason I knew all along but did not want to accept. Acceptance in this case meant defeat. Last week, I had decided to restart low carb eating plan from today, i.e. Monday. I made biryani for dinner last evening (because Sunday!), and made a lot of it. Clearly keto wasn’t on my mind then. When I woke up this morning, excited about breakfast, I remembered: low carb. My excitement deflated like a balloon popped. If I can’t have leftover biryani for breakfast, what is the point? I sinked deeper and deeper into a biryani-deprived abyss. It was dark. But also blindingly bright. Everything became questionable. My life seemed purposeless. I stared at the ceiling, waiting for the day to end, and biryani to become a distant memory. It persisted. And then, an angel (called Mr. Zakir) appeared and brought me and biryani together, without any questions or assumptions. He did what seemed natural. Leftover biryani = late breakfast. A plate and two red chilies later, I feel human again. Alive. I smile and write. Oh biryani..

It snowed in Berlin today. I saw my first snow of 2020 today. And my first reaction was: the world is healing. It is slowly, very slowly, going back to how it used to be. How it is supposed to be. Maybe we, the humans, are the virus. We pollute, the air is heavy, oceans are dirty, forests are burning, animals are dying, glaciers are melting, floods are erasing towns, non-stop flights are pushing climate change impacts to the edge and fast fashion is new-age slavery. What have we become? But now that we are forced to slow down, the world is getting better, it is healing, and has never looked better (at least Karachi hasn't - swipe to see my beautiful city as it is now. Picture courtesy @colorshot.fp) Let's not forget the lessons that this lock down has taught us, and treat our world with more kindness. P.S how beautiful, clean and respectable does Karachi look folk(ses)?? Eat that, Islamabad 😁 Now we have beach, biryani AND clean streets! #berlinblogger #pakistanigirlingermany #staysafe #covid19 #coronavirustruth #karachi #latenightberlin #snowinberlin

Almost everyone around me has decided to stay at h

Almost everyone around me has decided to stay at home (I am so proud of you!). Most companies have embraced home office setups, and many people are exercising common courtesy and keeping social interactions to an absolute minimum. In times like these, when time seems to have slowed down, I realise that I pick up my phone a lot more than I should. Digital space has an increased lure in times of Corona and social distancing. However, it isn’t the healthiest choice – for both mind and body. Excessive exposure to information often leads to panic and stress. It also has an adverse impact on your eyesight, causes neck strain (also known as text neck), diminishes ability to focus and create, and so on. I will be the first to admit that I pick up the phone more than necessary. I acknowledge it, and also know that I am far from alone. The question is – how do I fix it? How do I take back the control? I found an app that can help you with it. It’s called YourHour, and it provides daily, weekly and monthly report for your app usage. It aims to counter phone addiction, and facilitate focus. I say, come home sister! Read more about it on www.cherrycross.com There is no judgement here - this is purely if you think YOU need an intervention, and not because Shaheen says 7 hours on Instagram is unhealthy or society says 4 hours of YouTube is excessive. We are in an unprecedented situation and you cope with it however you like ❤ #yourhourapp #stopscrolling #phoneaddict #digitalwellness #screentime #reducemobilephoneuse #intervention #YourHour #instagram #facebook #youtube #tiktok #breakingnews #covid19 #ehtiyatcorona #gharparrahona #coronakrise #pakistanigirlingermany #pakistaniingermany #pakistanibloggeringermany #plussizeblogger #shaheenrajan #berlinblogger #plussizefashion #plussize #l4l #cherrycross #blogger_de #prettylittleiiinspo

Hello folk(ses), kya haal? I am going to have a re

Hello folk(ses), kya haal?
I am going to have a real plant in my house soon 🌿🌿🌿 I love greens, and have a few faux plants around the house. But could never commit to the real deal - it just seem liked a BIG responsibility. And the thought of someone, including a plant, dying on my watch is just horrifying.
But now I am ready to graduate to the big league - a real Monstera (also called Swiss cheese plant). From what I have learnt so far, they make great indoor plants, are somewhat resilient, and look beautiful. It just feels like it’s time - to commit, to nurture, to accept, to grow.
Who would have thought that buying a plant would make me feel like such an adult 😀 Supremely excited. No idea when the delivery is, but hopefully soon. Disproportionate happiness over seemingly small purchase, but I am totes excited. I have never had a plant. NEVER. Have you ever cared for a plant all by yourself? P.S Totally forgot to mention. I am wearing nail sticker folk(ses)!! On my third nail. @lackistihrhobby gifted it to me. They are by @stickergigant - super easy to wear, will last at least a week (I am on day 4 and they haven't budget at all). #berlinblogger #plantmother #pakistaniingermany #adulting #lifeintimesofcorona #monstera

CHAI TALKIES: Maids, cooks, drivers and/or cleani

CHAI TALKIES: Maids, cooks, drivers and/or cleaning staff are a rather common fixture in most Pakistani households. These men and women come from underprivileged households, with little to no access to either healthcare or education. With Corona causing all kinds of anxieties, further fuelled by fake news and sensationalism, some people make deplorable mistakes that are guided by self-interest. In the light of recent events, I thought it is a good time to remind everyone who has the privilege of house help of their responsibilities towards people working in our homes. 💥 If they travel to your house, please let them have a month off but pay for it (like @awardrobeaffair did - so proud!) . Their commute is a health hazard to them and you.
💥 If your employee lives with you, keep an eye on their health and hygiene, even if for purely selfish reasons.
💥 In case one of them gets infected, DO NOT SEND THEM HOME (where ever it might be). You are educated, resourceful and hopefully responsible - please help them in their time of need. Get them treated and find a place within your home for them to self-isolate. When you ask/allow them to go home, not only are you risking health of ALL the passengers on their bus/train but also their families.
💥 If anyone who shares a roof with you tests positive for the virus, please get your entire family as well as other employees in the house tested. You have resources to hire them, I hope you can manage to pay for their tests as well.
💥 As everyone is maintaining social distance, make sure they have entertainment options to kill time as well - TV, WiFI password, board games, etc. I think it is irresponsible to make a Corona infected person decide the course of action, when they may or may not be fully aware of the consequences of their actions. Share all that you know, and urge them to make a responsible decision. Remember that it is a man who needs your job and money to feed his family, and will be motivated to throw caution to air if need be. It’s in times like these that we reveal our true selves. Please make sure that the way you behave now is a source of pride and not shame once all of this is over.
