Munira is a hobbit. She lives in a bubble and shares it with her husband (Huz a.k.a Hozi) her daughter (Amu) and a black Persian cat (Fuzzy). These make periodic appearances in her blog.
Munira likes to read, play Scrabble, do gardening, take pictures, sketch, paint, cook, clean, stitch, and has also been seen spending quite a lot of time just sitting around brooding about stuff. Lately she has taken to writing about stuff that she broods about.
Hopefully, through this here blog, she’ll be able to share glimpses of life in her corner of the sprawling city that is Karachi, and at times perhaps some other corners of her country that is Pakistan.
Very interesting posts Munira. And I loved your tagline “have fingers, will type”.
thanks Mariam! (the tagline just popped into my head and stuck) 🙂
Dear Munira,
Glad to have found your blog! I’m looking forward to reading more!
I’m glad you found it too!
Just dropping in to say hi. Good to find people from my hometown… aaah when will I see you again? 🙂
All hail, fellow Karachiite! Very good of you to drop by indeed. You should definitely visit more often 🙂
Hey Munira!

Cheers, Harsha.
Well, hello fellow hobbit! Good to see you here 🙂 Thank you for loving, and subscribing! I is honoured.
Hi Munira – thanks for the sweet things you said on my Class Factotum archive blog. I also have my double-secret probation Gold-digger blog where I tell almost all about my evil in-laws. Next time you comment, leave a link back to your fab blog so my readers can find you!
Consider it done! 😀

i found yr link on al’s blog post, and as a karachi-ite, i can so relate to everything here, the maid stories, the wierd neighbours, tk u for the hours of entertainment.
So many Karachi-ites! So glad you found me, and that you can relate and that you were entertained. 🙂
Good to meet you, Munira.
Ditto LeRoy. Thank you for the poem….I posted it on my Days of Yore blog in the ‘About’ page 🙂 Loved it.
Hello–
You might not recognize my “face” because I’m wearing a new one and here to tell you about a new blog site because I know you can keep a secret. Here’s a place to post things that don’t fit on your personal blog. Please come visit, tell your friends, twitter, or submit a post if you want to but remember, it’s totally ANONYMOUS, so leave all real names out of it! (Go ahead and erase this post if you want– it’s for your eyes only.)

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, Munira! I’ve never been to Pakistan–New Delhi is the closest I’ve gotten. Your blog is fascinating, and the photos on your photo blog are stunning!
Kathy
I thank ye too, Kathryn! Flattered is the word!
wow! your blog looks so cool! Interesting stuff and very well presented. will keep visiting.
Thank you Tasneem! Look forward to seeing you around 🙂
hey hi munira
Eid-al-fitr mubarak(belated)…
You too Rashmi! 😀
Munira, Hi! So glad to have found your blog! It is so AWESOME! Will keep coming back! 😀
Yours looks like it’s going to be loads of fun too!
Thanks so much for dropping by. Look forward to your comments in the future 🙂
I like the new look of your blog!
Oh no! I think it’s the same as yours Sibella! I’m such a copy cat! 😮
Same, but different! 🙂
😀
Quite an artistic hobbit, she is 😛 It’s rather…unusual to find so much peace in the life of a blogger from Karachi. Or perhaps you look at life through a lens of innate goodness and hence the blog 🙂
Seek peace and ye shall find, is what I always say 😛 Plus you can’t go wrong by living in a bubble 😉
Hi.Just came across ur blog..would b following it
Ooh, thank you! I love being ‘followed’ 🙂 Hope you like my stories.
Munira the hobbit-what kind are you? A Took, Baggins or Brandybuck? Since I’m a hopeless LOTR fan and everything middle-earth: I had to stop & say hi! I am reminded of a Tolkeinism: ‘not all who wander are lost’. Great work! Thanks,
Asad
Asad!!!!! You visited!!!!
Most tickled am I….. *grins ear to ear*…..and as far as hobbits are concerned, I think I’m a pretty good combination of all three clans….they were all related anyway 🙂
‘Not all who wander are lost’, eh? This should be my tagline!!
The things you love make for a happy life. You seem to be concentrating on the positive things, I love your photos. They’re beautiful!
Maybe you can blog one day about SCRABBLE. Is there anything you’d like to tell your readers about this game?
Awww, thanks Aunty Uta! Funny you should say that, because I think I’m a negative person mostly
And what can I say about Scrabble….it’s such an addictive game, and so much fun, especially when you come across interesting people as opponents. I have made so many virtual ‘friends’ through it, apart from the fact that I staved off so many hours of boredom!
Love the blog Munira! Thank you for reminding me to read so that I could find it! You are so great that way!
Congratulations! You must be so proud! You know what I mean, I just can’t answer the normal way so here I am! 🙂 The pictures are amazing, and I love the new one!
Thank you Bill! 😀
Munira, I saw your comment on my blog about subscribing and I’m afraid I have no idea how to set that up! But I do try to post once a week, usually on Thursday, if that helps.
Ta,
The GD
That helps! I just need reminders, otherwise I forget, and that is the biggest problem here. By the time I remember to visit you, there is so much to catch up on!
Wish you were on WordPress 😦

Hello. Thanks for liking the crap I wrote 😀
It helped me find your really fun blog.
Your twitter handle is cute (you were in my ‘who to follow’ list on the side) so I clicked on you and found your blog 🙂 Your subject interests me, and I found your ramblings thought-provoking, so I ‘liked’ what you wrote….not crap at all! Thanks for the follow 🙂 I’ll be keeping an eye on you too.
Munira, thank you for the kind comment on my photo 🙂 ~ Kat

Its good to see sensible people blogging about Karachi… a city I love deeply. There is more to it than violence and bloodshed… must come back and read more ! Thanks Munira ..already in love with your blog site 🙂
Good to be described as sensible for a change! 😀 Do you live in Karachi too? Because most who live here have a love-hate relationship with it, as do I. Thank you for your lovely comment….made my day it did!
