Here are some random pictures I took from my recent trip to Lahore. All pictures were taken from my new Nokia N80 phone. Amazing phone.
This was a donkey I saw in the local bazaar. My mom was inside shopping while I was waiting in the car. This donkey had the saddest eyes, and I could sense what a plight it was for him to be carrying such a huge burden on his shoulders. I asked the man to sell the donkey to me so I could set him free from captivity. The man thought I was crazy.
Here are six boys on one bike. It can only happen in Lahore. It was pretty darn amazing to see the cyclist balance all five boys around him to be able to drive around bends and main roads. Lol.
This is my sister Areej with the exquisite henna design on her hand which was made by one of our second cousin.
That's me and my sister. I always buy brown colored shalwar kameez, but this year, I opted for a dark purple striped khadee suit. It's amazing and it's my favorite piece of clothing now.
Me with a cat at a friend's house. They had two cats and the girls were treating them like they were some piece of furniture. When I asked one of the girl to give me one cat, she threw this cat across the room! Literally THREW the cat as if I were supposed to catch it.
My best friend from high school for the last 10 years, Maria. This was taken at Hot Fuzon (pronounced fusion), which is a pertty decent place to get desserts. We hung out here with some of my cousins and my sister till 1am, after which my mom and uncle were making frantic calls to get back home fast!
My favorite cousin in the whole world, Hina. She and I really hit it off this trip. We always do, but this trip was very meaningful. She takes pride in confiding in me and I treat her like a sister I never had (I have to say this before I get any marriage questions!)
Zaeem and Adeen by the pool.
My nephew Zaeem, or Zaymi as we call him affectionately. He loved being in control of the elevator of the hotel they all stayed in. He was just the cutest thing ever.

Mansur my friend, am glad you are now in full swing with your blog. Nice pics you got here. Interesting to see the henna patterns on your sister's palms. In our area the women usually do not put henna on the palms, they only do it on the back of their hands, mainly they complain that it doesnt stay long when they wash their hands. Am glad you enjoyed your holiday. Mine is coming up soon, really looking forward to it.
On the subject of marriage, lucky you, where you have to visit all these girls and get a wide range of selection. I wish I was that lucky.
Am curious as to why you and Maria do not plan to get married, am sure its personal, so I wont go there :).
As to your question, frankly if you think the girl is right for you, I dont see any problem with her being divorced and with a child.
Good luck on your pursuit.
mansur, in the pic with you and your cousin, whose hand is that aiming for your dessert?
Hey Nash,
thanks for ur input. Yeah, other people asked about me and Maria, but like I mentioned, she and I have talked about this issue and we have our own reasons.
Anonymous,
that's my mom hand taking a bite out of my new york cheesecake!

nice pictures, i can't believe they were all taken with a phone!
Yeah, they were taken by the Nokia N80, which has a 3 megapixel camera. Awesome stuff.
