There is something very enchanting about unexplored forests. They are mysterious, exotic and fascinating.
We spent some precious moments in such a jungle recently. It was out in the wilderness called Sharan.  Today, I will be sharing the travel journal I made on this trip.
I made this journal on an expired ‘BioMatrix stent table calendar’ from my previous office. On this journal, I used a local newspaper (Daily Mahasib newspaper, Abbottabad), leaves, maps, cloth pieces, stickers, tickets, pictures, wrappers and stamps. I also doodled wherever I could. Thanks to my experience with travel journals, I completed this journal in one day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This map above of Northern areas of Pakistan was given to me by the receptionist at PTDC hotel, Balakot. It is honestly the best map I have ever seen.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed the photo tour of this journal. It’s link on Youtube is here.  You can take a look at all my travel journals on my blog and on YouTube. Thanks for your time. Let me know your thoughts.

May was a tiny glimpse of summer & a very busy business month for me - when my digital store had the most sales ever! 🥹and I’m grateful for every bit of it. ☕🌿
I’ve also been feeling a deep pull back into writing… the kind of writing that’s honest, vulnerable, and from the heart. So now, I’m opening paid subscriptions on my Substack. This is where I’ll be sharing:

• Deeper reflections
• Motherhood guides
• Intentional living notes
• Behind‑the‑scenes life updates
• Early access to new products
• A warm, cozy inner circle for those who want to support my work

If my writing has ever helped you, inspired you, or made you feel a little less alone — I’d love to have you there.

My first paid post (my full Potty Training Guide) is already live. I have more exciting articles in the pipeline…

Thank you for being here — always.
It means more than you know.
Chand raat ki ronak. Kitty‑bear mehendi. Sahelion k sath dance. 
11 saal puranay joray ko pehennay ki khushi (blue one)
Thandi baarish, garam ghar.
Pakistan se halwa poori.
Bas… aik seedhi simple si Eid.

Aapki Eid kahan aur kesi thi? Stories pe photo k sath share karein aur mujhe tag karein. Mein reshare karna chahoongi ❤️
