๐ฒ Me the "Bali ka Bakra" this time๐
Let me take a Buddha pose... Take it easy... Just chill.. calm down.. take a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath... haaaaaaaahhhh!!๐๐
Ok... Ready!!๐
First of all... Thanks Aparna di for making me one year younger๐ณ๐... Wow.. im currently feeling like my guru - Peter Pan๐
What brought you to I-F: I asked Google Uncle for the articles of a serial at Sahara one- Kohinoor.. which was loosely based on "The da vinci code"... and i saw some posts at IF... i at that time didn't join.. but then i did when the serial ended abruptly ๐ becoz i was sooo angry at the serial makers๐ก.. i needed an outlet to burst out!!๐
Your favourite artist(music): Not one in particular but Many many many... Celine dion.. John Elton (The Lion King's Music especially๐ณ it is currently my fav.).. Strings.. Hadiqa Kiyani.. Junoon..Junaid Jamshed.. Sunidhi Chauhan..Kunal Gnajawala.. and a lot of Chinese pop music artists whose names are unknown to me becoz of my inability to read chinese language๐
Your favourite debator on I-F: Looong lisht!!๐ Instead of debator..i make it "Debators".... Tanaz, Aparna di, Sowmyaa di, Javs, Rajju di (Dazlingflower), jetmania these are all my good friends too๐ณ .. Then there is Minnie, mkzara, vishesh, pradarshak,bubble gum, Buffie(despite the fact that i MUST have a dictionary at hand to understand her arguments๐).. and many more... they make topics very interesting๐
Your experience at the DC-III: Great!!! ๐It was an extensive research work.. i googled out westernization, globalization, modernization and found PDF files books too... It was a surprise for me that mostly people are arguing the fact that does modernization requires westernization? and i found immese material for it.. There were many other forums discussing this topic too.. but sometimes the debate went somewhere else๐ I can say that if somebody wishes to find a good source of material on the topic ON A FORUM, it is here at DM.. Not becoz i participated it but i literally filtered the internet and complied it with Tanaz's and Eisha's help..
Then i went for anthropology research.. i was completely dump at the subject and knew nothing! becoz i never took history as a subject ... i searched Encyclopedia Brittanica, Encarta and Wikipedia for different anthropologists, theories, industrialization, cultural anthropology, etc. I learned a LOT in this process..
The thing i most enjoyed was my team work with Tanaz and Eisha.. we first of all categorized the material.. Tanaz went for religious History, i went for the Theoretical matter and Eisha went for Current fashion and lifestyle changes.. then when our research was complete, we tried to prepare ourselves for the opposite arguments..i used to bring up the arguments and Tanaz and Eisha used to rebut them.. it was an exercise which was fantastic and prepared us well..
when we were tired we used to pick our Himmy miyaan (himmesh reshamiyaa) and used to laugh at his tunes and it was a riot๐ .. especially Eisha n Tanaz.. they used to go mad at him๐.... e.g his songs.. and sometimes we used to make parody of his songs...and BOY!! it was fun... i enjoyed it a lot!!๐ ๐
Your Hobbies: Hmm.. Internet, TV, chatting, sometimes going through Britannica, picking my mom๐..and acting like a 5 year old in front of her and being a brat!!๐.. debating with my papa.. PMing my friends at DM.. being at DM!!..chatting with my sisters, nieces and nephew. writing (im being busy now.. but i will re-join it soon)..listening songs.. the list is endless๐
What are you currently reading: Ur questions๐๐
Your ambition: WOW!! ๐Being a TOP class Accountant at one of the Big 4 companies.. joining UN someday..Travelling the whole world...being a successful entrepreneur one day..to be a journalist.. writer.. painter.. highly sporty person... and yeah.. i forgot the martial arts...๐ flying Aeroplane...there is much much more.. i will edit when i will remember๐๐
If there was one thing you could do which would be certain that you will succeed in it, what would that be: After a grueling experience in life.. i have come to one conclusion: "hardwork, Will power, ability to dream and accomplish" .. i can do anything!๐
So , every one plz put forward your questions to Maryam and welcome her on the hot seat this week !๐
Maryam pleasure to have you !!๐ค FUN having ur questions๐๐ณ๐ค
First of all thanks you Sowmyaa di๐ณ ๐ค here are the answers๐:
2. what language do you speak at home? Urdu, Punjabi (my parents) and English (sometimes .. when im talking to papa in a discussion)
3. what is ur fav. subject at school? At school in 10th grade, it was Maths and Physics, Biology too (becoz of my teacher). Add up urdu becoz i used to top in that (though i didn't like the poetry of meer-taqi-meer and to do that explanations๐)

6. you story ana- are you one of the character in the story? Ahh well.. Anny.. that naive girl..๐ (im remembering one of my friends telling me that she also relates to Anny ๐).. U can find traces of Maryam in Anny.. but not too much.. actually she represents the "set of girls" i have seen. due to pressure for the past 20 days i couldn't work on the story.. but there are more shades to Anny than just being wht she is at the moment!๐ (I am not letting that out ..
