Shehlah Zahiruddin

I’m just a regular average beychari karachiite who has had surreal experiences in life. Those who say god created order out of chaos has not visited our lives!
Am a Marketing Manager by profession and a parhi likhi by education and a mother worshipper by religion and anti-military as a politician. Have acted in and directed stage plays, raced cars and bungee-jumped with Life till it dawned how much responsibilty and work for others has been straitjacketed in these tiny lives of ours and hell if Maulana Edhi can do it so can we armed with all our fancy degrees, english gibberish, cars and money!

Did my schooling from St. Joseph’s. Hold a masters in Business Admin from IBA and another from Khi Uni in International Relations. The only real education though is limited to the two years of A Levels studying English Literature, Comparitive Religion and Philosophy and a course in Development Economics much later. The rest was taught by life and people pretty adequately thank you!

Have my mother to thank for giving me the incredible courage to think, feel, observe, read, talk, write and most importantly, to just go out there and EXPERIENCE.

With a connecting flight to Mumbai in a few hours, I wondered how eventful could a stay in Delhi be?

Larka, Larki Aur Smartee

Shehlah Zahiruddin Nov 10, 2002 interacts: 42 Views: 12029

I failed to comprehend why a perfectly sane English description was being replaced by a ghastly Urdu word – one that evoked images of barbers’ shops, naked men and an equally rude Urdu idiom.

Tower of Babel

Shehlah Zahiruddin May 31, 2000 interacts: 12 Views: 3429

My language was peppered with baithtta hoon and khata hoon along with the elongation of almost all Urdu words with aan such as ainak-aan...
