No. Those are laugh lines.

So, I have decided that next year, I will be turning 26. I will be 27 in four years time.
I’ve always had one of those ‘mature’ faces, and after seven years, I’m finally grown into it.
Oh all you wonderful people; you are the seatwarmers of my winter days.
I came across this old gtalk chat while looking for something in my mail:
04/05/2006
Mak: so Saaleha.. what are your plans forthe next 5 years ?
me: hmmm
lets see now
five years
well
within that time
i hope to be married to my soulmate
have completed my masters in creative writing
and have done a vast amount of travel
Well, here’s me tooting my own tooter; I’m actually pretty much on track with that timeline. Almighty Willing and Saaleha Doing, I will be shaking hands with the deadline.

Google’s doodle yesterday was a tribute to Russian composer Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky. It will probably take me a lifetime and beyond to nudge him off of the June 17 spot. Ambition is the salt of life.

    I was just about to blog about this myself. Was contemplating over the transitions we undergo in life! I remember having a conversation with Shak a few years back where he asked me where i saw myself by the time i was 25. I said to him, “Married with atleast 2 kids.” Well, i still have a few weeks till im 25 and it seems life had big plans in store for me cos not even i saw moving across the world coming!

    kudos for all that powerful visualization! :)
    i think if i had to ask myself five years ago i would have had one goal (which is a little personal to share) and I’ve accomplished it too Alhumdulillah.

  6. That is AWESOME!

    Glad to see that you’re on track! :) ))
