#Most Beautiful Pakistani Woman

[witchthewriter]

Probably a weird question, but which HP characters do you imagine as LGBTQIA or/and POC? (Because let’s make Joke Rollling/She Who Must Not Be Named… ANGRY!! 😏)

I would LOVE TO! J.K.Rowling is Rita Skeeter to me. Also you should look up 'The Worst Witch,' because it's basically Harry Potter.

𝑯𝑬𝑹𝑴𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑬

Most definitely black, or what if she came from an Indian family who wanted her to marry and the Wizarding World was her escape? She studies hard because this new world is a second chance for freedom!

I also wish Hermione was bisexual/pansexual. She and Ginny, or even she and Cho would make such a gorgeous couple!

𝑳𝑼𝑵𝑨

I think it would have been cool if she was an albino (I am so sorry if that's not the right way to say it. I don't want to offend anyone). Her long white hair, pale skin, translucent lashes and brows. With beautiful purple eyes (this is actually how I imagined the Targaryens to look, not just having white hair).

She is definitely demisexual; only feeling attraction after developing a friendship first. I can also see Luna as trans!

𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑹𝒀

I've seen some fancasts and fanart of Harry with his ethnicity being Indian, or Pakistani. Which I'm completely okay with. Maybe even James is half black, and that makes Harry a quarter, so it's still noticeable - and another thing that the Dursley's are horrible to him about.

I think Harry is Bi/Pan - I have this headcanon that he had a crush on Oliver Wood, and Katie Bell when he was in first year.

𝑹𝑶𝑵

I honestly just see Ron as a normal hetero male. Honestly, there's nothing queer about him at all. But he is very supportive of his friends and family as well as the LGBTQIA+ community. He would always be at Pride with whoever asked him, and have anyone's back who needed it.

And the Weasley's are known for their red hair, so I think I would keep their heritage/ethnicity the same!

𝑫𝑼𝑴𝑩𝑬𝑳𝑫𝑶𝑹𝑬

YES, THIS MAN IS A GAY MAN. But I feel as though he's very monogamous; he will love one person, even if they do not love him back, for the rest of his life. Like with Grindelwald, Dumbledore couldn't stop the feelings he had - even though the man was turning into a pretty evil one.

𝑺𝑵𝑨𝑷𝑬

His sexuality always confused him. Because he was in love with Lily, truly in love with her. But sometimes he found James attractive, and he hated himself for it.

Shows himself as straight, but I think he's bisexual or at least bi-curious.

I think for his ethnicity, it can be the same. Pasty white skin, black hair, hooked nose. Maybe his family distantly came from a Mediterranean island?

𝑫𝑹𝑨𝑪𝑶

Oh, I think keeping Draco white ... and maybe all the Death Eaters white would be saying a lot. They're basically Nazi's. So that wouldn't change.

Draco is most definitely bisexual. He was so in love with Harry, feigning it as hate. Knowing everything about him, staring at him from across the room. When he was younger, it was easier to see it as hate. But then when he turned 16, he felt a pang of desire for the Potter boy and the self-loathing began.

𝑮𝑬𝑶𝑹𝑮𝑬

Falls in love very easily, but usually with a woman. Not to say he's completely hetero, I think he would be bi-curious, but I think he wants a wife with a big family.

𝑭𝑹𝑬𝑫

I actually think Fred would be polyamorous. The kind where the girlfriend is allowed another boyfriend, not like Sisterwives. No, no. Fred would be totally cool with having a wife who has a boyfriend, and they all live together. Fred's a little fruity as well. I think he's one of those people that 'don't like to put a label on things.'

𝑺𝑰𝑹𝑰𝑼𝑺

Pansexual. Pansexual. Pansexual. Doesn't care if you're trans, he loves a person for who they are, what they believe in, rather than what their bits are. One of the reasons why he ran away from home. He hates tradition.

I think the Black family could be from Sicily, I know that's not necessarily POC, I think with their darker features, they would easily reign from there. And Sicilians are known for always distinguishing themselves from any other Mediterranean culture.

𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑼𝑺

He always thought of himself as straight. But that was until he met Sirius and he developed such a big crush on him. I think Remus would be Biromantic towards women but Bisexual towards men.

𝑪𝑯𝑶

WHY THE HELL DID ROWLING CALL AN ASIAN PERSON, "CHO CHANG," PUT THEM IN THE "SMARTEST HOUSE". It's racism. That's how I see it. She does this with many characters, and it's ridiculous.

Anyway, I have no problem with Asian representation. But what if Cho was Native American? (I know Rowling made that whole other school but it was really problematic so to me, it doesn't exist).

Or have Cho as Chinese (maybe give her a proper Chinese name), and we can have another main character...like Hermione, or Katie Bell as Native American. I just think it would be interesting to see an exchange student from another country as well.

𝑮𝑰𝑵𝑵𝒀

Lesbian. Poly lesbian. All those boys she went out with in Hogwarts were actually just beards. And she was having a secret relationship with another girl in her year. However, the polyamory doesn't come out until she's in her 20s.

𝑩𝑰𝑳𝑳

Polysexual; sexual or romantic attraction to people with varying genders. Polysexual orientations include bisexuality, pansexuality, omnisexuality, and queer, among many others. Basically, he can be attracted to anyone. But Fleur was the one who captured his heart fully and wholely.

𝑪𝑯𝑨𝑹𝑳𝑰𝑬

Asexual; I know he isn't in the movies (WHY?!) but he spends all his time with Dragons, and I think that will always be his main love and passion.

[triviareads]

do you have diverse modern romance recs?

Yep! I've (mostly) organized it by author:

Naima Simone: I'm obsessed with literally everything this woman writes, both Harlequin and not Harlequin. Naima writes a lot of fabulous Black heroines (and she writes great body diversity as well) and a decent amount of POC heroes as well. My favorites include . Black Tie Billionaire (Black heroine, Asian hero), Secrets Of A One Night Stand (Black heroine, Pacific Islander hero), and Trust Fund Fiancé (both the hero and heroine are Black). The best thing about Naima's books is just the uniformity in how she writes every body type as attractive and desirable and the sex is very hot. Would absolutely recommend.

Katrina Jackson: I haven't talked about Katrina enough, when she's out here doing the most for mafia romances and spy romances with diverse characters. I could happily read her novella Beautiful & Dirty over and over, but it's a prequel to the mafia series which ends with my favorite, The Don, which has a Black heroine. Katrina also wrote a spy series (The Spies Who Loved Me!) and the first in that series, Pink Slip, has a Black heroine who's lusting over her married bosses (the wife, Monica, is Latina I believe) and surprise, they're both into her too.

Angelina M. Lopez: Angelina writes excellent Latino rep. Her fictional town Freedom, Kansas, which is the setting in multiple stories, has an amazing Mexican-American community she builds on. I'd recommend After Hours on Milagro Street, which has a Mexican-American heroine, as well as her upcoming Full Moon Over Freedom, which is next in the series. The way she melds culture, magic, and romance is gorgeous. Also! Lush Money, which is set within this universe, has a Latina heroine and is very fun and worth reading.

Tara Pammi: If you want to read about Indians in India or Bollywood-centric romances, Tara is the author. I liked Claiming His Bollywood Cinderella and The Secret She Kept in Bollywood (that man is suuuch a DILF he's great).

Jadesola James: I've talked about her before (see here) but Jadesola has written a couple Harlequin Presents stories set in Africa. I'd recommend The Royal Baby He Must Claim and The Princess He Must Marry, which are about sisters who are Nigerian princesses.

Talia Hibbert: The Brown Sisters books are bangers, sexy and emotionally comforting at the same time. I'd recommend all of them: Get a Life, Chloe Brown, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, and Act Your Age, Eve Brown. I also love her novella Guarding Temptation, which has both a Black hero and heroine and Wanna Bet? which has a Black heroine and a British-Indian hero (thanks for reminding me @viscountessevie).

Wrong to Need You by Alisha Rai: The hero and heroine are in-laws (well, her husband, his brother, is dead) so the romance was very emotional and slow-burn, but the pay-off was absolutely worth it. The heroine Sadia is Pakistani-American, and the hero Jackson is of Japanese and Hawaiian ancestry. Alisha also delves pretty deep into South Asian family dynamics which hit a liiiittle too close to home, but I can't deny the accuracy.

Reel by Kennedy Ryan: This a romance between an actress and her director (both are Black) and I particularly appreciate the amount of research Kennedy Ryan put into the Harlem Renaissance, Black artists of that era (she created a fictional artist to base the movie off of), as well as their contributions to the Civil Rights movement which I think isn't discussed enough.

Sink or Swim by Tessa Bailey: See here.

From what I recall, Katee Robert did a pretty good job of body diversity without super explicitly mentioning race in her Fairytale Villains Who Fuck Wicked Villains series.

[partialbirthabortion]

Hey! Where did you visit in Pakistan? I'm going to live in Turkey for a few months next year and I have family friends visiting Karachi at the same time.. they invited me to fly there to meet up with them (they're originally from Karachi so familiar and can show me around) so I was thinking about doing that + being solo there for a bit. But I'm not very familiar culturally, I'm in my mid 20s and female, and my family friends were happy to invite me but sort of perplexed by my wanting to and essentially said it would be really challenging for any US tourist. I've been India before and that point will have also lived in Morocco for a few months.. but they have me feeling hesitant about it.. just wondering what your experience was like

Hey! This trip I was in Karachi, Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa near the Afghan border, but I've also done Lahore, Mohenja-daro, Balochistan and also to Wagah for the border ceremony! Gilgit and Hunza Valley are on my list. I lived in Karachi for several years and graduated high school there, and my parents still live and work there, so I'm very culturally competent and my listening comprehension for Urdu is, like, passable enough especially once I've been back in the country for a few days; all this to say, my experience there is definitely different than yours will be! If you have spent significant time in Muslim-majority countries like Turkey and Morocco, and also have been to India, I think you are more likely to have a comfortable time than most. You'll frankly probably land and think, yeah this feels like South Asia but Muslim, and you'll have a good grasp pretty much right away.

Many people will stare at you. Many people will talk about you openly. Many people will ask for pictures with you or take pictures of you WITHOUT asking (for the record, I say yes to women and children and no to men without women or children around, because men will touch you in ways I KNOW are culturally taboo while taking a photo). There's no queuing culture and can be a lot of shoving. Traffic will feel tremendously hazardous. There are not very many women out and about in most places, especially outside of cities. Pakistan is very poor and petty theft is very common. You have probably experienced all of these things before and will be totally fine! People are very genuinely excited to meet you and are hugely hospitable. It can be a lot of fun and a really wonderful experience depending on your own risk tolerance.

I will say, having lived there, there just isn't a ton to do in Karachi besides eat. It's a desert on the ocean. It's incredibly hot, it's dirty, it's infrastructure is old and during monsoon sewage washes back onto the street. It's not a tourist city at all. If your family friends live in Defense, it will feel wealthier and more westernized, and if they live in KDA or Clifton, it will feel a little less so.

In Karachi I would suggest: The Mohatta Palace Museum, Empress Market (for the bazaar experience), one of those good barbecue places on the beach, Jinnah's tomb, renting a beach hut on one of the semi-private beaches for a day (and riding a camel or convincing a performer to let you hold a mongoose), Javed Nihari and if you do absolutely no other street food (which will often make you sick tbf), you HAVE to go to Yusuf Kebab and get a bun kebab special.

In Karachi I would AVOID: going to the public beach. Do NOT do this, if your family friends are Pakistani they might not guess how bad it gets, but do NOT go to the public beach as a foreign woman. I have been three times and was sexually assaulted all three times, and have never had it happen to me anywhere else in Pakistan. You draw an immediate big crowd and it gets really dodgy.

As for solo traveling, I have solo traveled in Lahore and it was great! It's feels like a grand Mughal city, a beautiful blend of architecture, historical sites, good food, and juuust enough tourist infrastructure to be accessible. I stayed in a hostel and had an amazing time, never felt unsafe, and liked some of my roommates so much we went out together several times. Islamabad is beautiful and very safe (crawling with foreigners) but it doesn't feel like the rest of Pakistan at all, and it can be really expensive. It's the only place I would suggest going into the mountains as a solo traveler (The Monal is an amazing mountain top restaurant) although I hear Hunza Valley can be okay during tourist season. Mohenja-daro would be totally fine but I don't know if they're open since the flooding earlier this year. You could do Wagah as a day trip from Lahore but it's a big time suck and there's nothing to do besides the very short border ceremony. I would definitely NOT go to KPK or Balochistan as a solo female.

[soncasong]

It'a been four years since this post and I'm late for pride but I've been watching movies and I'm back with more reccs. Apologies for the MLM slant, I'm slowly expanding my repetoire for other stories but am not enough of an expert to throw out recs

And just to clear the air yes, I'm aware God's Own Country is in Yorkshire, not Scotland - now that Challengers is out though you should watch God's Own Country again because Josh O'Connor is amazing every time.

My Brother the Devil (2012): Kind of the reason I wanted to update this list. An Egyptian teenager grapples with the fact that his older brother is gay and wants to leave the criminal life that he desperately wants to step into. Criminally underrated movie, also near impossible to find online.

My Beautiful Laundrette (1985): A Pakistani man takes over a laundrette (laundromat for us 'Muricans) from his uncle and enlists his former childhood friend to help him out. Delves into some racial and power dynamics in Thatcher England. There's a really good stageplay of this one too.

Beautiful Thing (1996): A boy navigates his rocky but loving relationship with his mother, while taking in his best friend/next door neighbor (who he has feelings for). Rewatched this one the other day and it almost made me cry in a very queer joy sort of way.

Quick aside: the last three gave me the exact same flavor of catharsis that Maurice and God's Own Country did - one of these days I'm gonna marathon all five of these movies and collapse into a heap on the floor.

Big Eden (2000): Middle-aged man moves back to his home town to take care of his sick father - the most rom-com setup ever. But there's a bait-and-switch I adore and the movie is just so laid-back and easygoing, very similar to a cup of hot chocolate.

Touch of Pink (2004): Oh my god, this one, this one is so silly. A man has to shove himself back into the closet to accomodate his overbearing mother moving in with him. He also has Cary Grant as an imaginary friend and there's also a wedding that gets crashed. Extremely silly.

The Wedding Banquet (1993): Speaking of weddings, do you like the fake marriage trope? Well this is the movie for you! To appease his traditional parents, a Taiwanese man agrees to marry a woman looking for a green card. Hilarity ensues. Surprisingly heartfelt as well.

Uncle Frank (2020): A gay man, his partner, and his niece go on a roadtrip to his home town after the death of his father. Another one that's heartfelt and inspires bubbly, warm feelings. I adore Beth (the niece) and her relationshio with her uncle, too.

Fair Haven (2016): A young man returns from conversion camp and struggles to chose between his family and the man he loves. Quiet and understated, but the whole thing is punctuated by this undercurrent of hope that's super nice to watch.

That's it - didn't even make it to ten, huh? Granted I've been watching quite a few that end sad (hi Front Cover), trying to expand my horizons (hi The Handmaiden, Summerland, and Close-Knit), or just consuming things that aren't movies (hi A New Brain, The House on the Cerulean Sea, and Skam). See you in four years, maybe? I might actually be running out of things to watch.

It's Pride and I'm a gay guy who watches a lot of movies, so here's a bunch of gay movies with happy endings not named Love, Simon, because we have moved past the need for Brokeback Mountain.

Trick (1999): A cute little romcom about a one night stand going horribly, horribly right. It's a shame this movie isn't more popular because it's so charming and has so much fanfic potential.

Shelter (2007): I mean, this is a classic. Surfers, found family, pining, what not to like?

The Thing About Harry (2020): Ridiculously cheesy, ridiculously cute. It's essentially a modern Trick with an enemies to friends to lovers slant. Good for some mindless fun.

Goodbye Mother (2019): As a gay Vietnamese man I will never not shut up about how well this movie portrays that intersection. A story about a gay expat visiting his hometown with his boyfriend, the nuance, the drama, the tensions are all so very real to how gay men in Vietnam have to navigate around the question of family.

We are Gamily (2017): In the same vein as Goodbye Mother but with a more comedic slant. A gay couple has to pretend to be straight when a parent comes to visit, it's funny and heartwrenching at all the right moments, and heartwarming to boot.

Just Friends (2018): Dutch Shelter. Explores the tension between gay men and their mothers, particularly between a refugee family.

God's Own Country (2017): Happy Brokeback Mountain, an aimless Scottish farmer with an ailing father finds his purpose with help from a migrant worker. It's poignant, beautifully shot, and quietly understated. A must watch.

Maurice (1984): Edwardian gays. Ahead of its time and an affirmation that it's okay to move on from your first love, as well as the ultimate smashing of class divides.

The Way He Looks (2014): A blind boy falls in love with a new classmate, it's both a coming of age and a study on disability. It's so sweet and the ending is the ultimate catharsis.

Handsome Devil (2016): An Irish schoolboy befriends the new transfer athlete and discovers they have more in common than he thought. A really excellent portrayal of friendship and solidarity.

TW: These next movies all have references or show self harm, but they all ultimately end happy. No more images from here out because I've reached the limit.

Hidden Kisses (2016): Two teenagers experience their coming out process while romantically involved. I love that it shows both characters and demonstrates how the experience is different for everyone.

Latter Days (2003): Gay Mormon meets party boy and the rest is history. It's a little cheesy but the guys are hot and the love story is ultimately so uplifting you can't help but smile.

Fire Song (2015): An Anishnabe teenager struggles with the decision to leave his reservation and attend college. Probably the darkest movie on the list, but it also tells such an important story about aboriginal communities and the struggles of people who have been extremely marginalized.

Save Me (2007): A struggling drug addict checks into an ex-gay ministry. The most nuanced portrayal of these ministries I have seen yet and also a wonderful story of self discovery of not just the main character, but the cast that surrounds him as well.

Honorable mentions to Giant Little Ones Getting Go: The Go Doc Project, and Boy Erased because while in my opinion, they have excellent and happy endings, the main charcters do not get (substantially) hitched at the end and some people don't like that.

In no way is this a comprehensive list, and I'm always looking to expand my repetoire with more lesbian and trans stories (send me reccs!). This is just a reminder that there's space for stories with gay characters to end happy and that Brokeback Mountain is the exception, not the norm.

Friday Night - Chapter 21 - Part 2

*Warning Adult Content*

The impromptu afternoon meeting was totally unlike Hunter Dannings.

He had a predictable schedule that all of the department heads knew.

Meetings and rounds in the morning, emails and personal work in the afternoon.

So why were all of the most important people at this company gathered in meeting room A?

Hunter was thankful to have worn a full suit this morning.

Adjusting and tightening his tie while he walked up to the meeting room helped calm his nerves.

"Hunter, relax," Joshua Stevenson whispered from behind the taller man, speaking over his black rimmed glasses.

"You made this company a well-oiled machine. It can handle this."

Hunter nodded... even if he didn't believe him... and stepped into the room.

Kellie Swan stood up first, breaking off her conversation with Mr. Abbasi to stand and greet Hunter.

Her tight coils were natural today, arranged in a simple short afro.

Hunter imagined his PA drooling from behind him at how beautiful his fiance looked.

The 2D animation head, Mr. Abbasi began to rise from his seat on the right side of the room but Hunter softly shook his head.

With that simple gesture, the man relaxed.

Hunter knew the Pakistani man had suffered a fall the previous month.

There was no need to move when he didn't have to.

"Good afternoon, Hunter," Cheryl Eastward, the finance manager, smiled.

She walked up to the taller man for a hug and Hunter returned it earnestly.

The black woman was a couple decades older than him and considerably shorter but her hug felt like being cocooned.

"Why the sudden meeting?"

"I was wondering the same thing," Esther Stong interjected, halting her rapid typing to stand and shake Hunter's hand.

"You usually hole up in your office the second it hits twelve."

The PR manager was still shaking his hand when her joke landed and Hunter heard an imaginary 'buh dum, tss' as she laughed.

Hunter was expecting the joke but still laughed in surprise when it came.

"I'll explain in just a second," he replied.

Scanning the room, Hunter noticed one person missing.

"Once Tim Harvey gets here, we can start."

Joshua sat down next to Esther Navarro who had him laughing within two seconds of him choosing the chair.

The two loudly shared jokes back and forth, bringing a smile to Kellie's face who eavesdropped on the exchange.

Hunter found himself sandwiched between Joshua and Cheryl who sent him another comforting smile before pulling out her own computer.

A few minutes and several jokes later, Tim Harvey ran into the room, computer bag slung over his shoulder.

Tim was a lanky white fellow who's years of working over computers gave him an irreparable slouch.

Hunter always thought it added to his geeky look.

It also gave him more authority over the other tech nerds in the IT department.

"Sorry, Mr. Dannings," he sighed, unloading his stuff beside a startled Mr. Abbasi.

Tim's noisy way of doing things never meshed well with the older gentleman.

Tim prepared to explain all the reasons why he was late but Hunter was anxious to get to the purpose of the meeting.

Tim's panicked excuses could wait.

"I called you all here to talk about some task adjustments."

Hunter could feel the people around him perk up and he clenched his hands together in anticipation.

A particular stare seemed to burn into his head and Hunter looked to catch Mr. Abbasi's eyes.

The older gentleman had met his father during university when his dad was a business major and Mr. Abbasi was studying architecture.

Several years later, Dannings Sr. decided to start an animation studio and Mr. Abbasi was one of the first people he contacted.

One work Visa and several years of immigration efforts later, Mr. Abbasi was a Canadian citizen and close friend of the family and now a man the same age of his father was waiting for his instructions.

Hunter swallowed a lump.

"Long story short, I won't be able to put in as much overtime as I have been for the past few years," he explained gruffly.

He meant to sound confident but the words died a little on his throat.

"Like two weeks ago?" Kellie clarified, scrolling on her tablet to what Hunter assumed was the exact day.

"Yes but multiply that by two and keep it that way for the foreseeable future."

The change was big but Hunter had just about as much choice as River did.

The bar owner's big favor was bigger than he'd expected.

**********

On the phone less than an hour earlier, River explained that his second manager quit... something about moving to be with his parents.

That left River with no one to oversee four out of seven evening shifts.

"Her babysitter agreed to watch Melodie on Tuesdays and Callie's handling Saturdays but that's still two days where Melodie would be alone."

The request crystallized in Hunter's mind without the words leaving River's mouth.

"So you want me to watch her on Sundays and Thursdays?"

"Just until I get a new manager trained," River rushed out.

Hunter could imagine him raking his fingers through already tousled hair.

The thought made his heart clench.

"I just... I don't want to throw a new babysitter on Melodie without us getting to know them first, you know? That would be a lot for her."

"And for you."

Hunter knew plenty of parents that wouldn't be so picky.

They could switch babysitters every week if needed but River didn't need to make that choice.

As long as Hunter agreed.

Hunter put River on hold and went through his own mental battle.

Was he willing to do this?

Change so much of his life to accommodate a six-year-old child?

Seeing her occasionally with River in the room was totally different from becoming a full-fledged babysitter.

That was a lot of time... and investment... and chances for things to go wrong... and what about his company?

Would the department leads be okay shouldering the responsibilities Hunter had kept to himself for the past two years?

The conflict seemed to pull Hunter in two separate directions.

Then, while pacing a hole through his office floor, Hunter saw that silly list.

Seventy three itemized facts about women and girls for a child he barely knew.

She was important to River and quickly becoming important to Hunter as well.

The CEO's mind was made up.

Now, he just had to convince the people seated at this table that it could work.

**********

Cheryl placed a small hand on Hunter's shoulder, bringing his attention to her unwavering smile.

Cheryl had been at this company much longer than Hunter, someone who'd worked closely with his dad in the early days of the company.

She'd been to so many family dinner parties and graduations, it was hard to remove her from the 'family' category of his mind at work.

Now, it helped to see her so immediately okay with the news.

"The IT department's good with that," Tim announced with a crooked smile.

"Our timeline shouldn't change much for the next two quarters."

"The 3D animation department's fine since we got those new hires to help with the Illumination project," Kellie said with a definitive nod.

"All good in Finance," was Cheryl's clear reply, exactly what Hunter hoped to hear.

The young CEO looked to Mr. Abbasi, his body tense.

Unlike Cheryl, Yusuf Abbasi had to be convinced to get onboard with Hunter taking over.

Hunter was young and starry eyed.

Too naive to lead a company, according to Mr. Abbasi.

He'd come around after some office political drama but even now Hunter worried that the older Pakistani man was reporting all of his mistakes to his father and he'd made himself an easy target... "Dannings, your son's slacking off again. How dare a CEO give so much work to his subordinates?"

"Sounds good to me," Yusuf agreed.

He gave Hunter a single nod before rising to his feet.

"About time you loosened the reins."

'Huh?'

"As the PR manager, I second that," Esther announced, closing her laptop with a definitive slam.

"It will be a lesson to the other people here that overtime pay should not be abused."

Esther laughed and followed Mr. Abbasi out of the meeting room.

Hunter heard some words about emails and confirming schedules but they were background noise to the rushing in his ears.

Hunter was... to put it simply... shocked.

Instead of staying by the side of his paralyzed boss, Joshua left with Kellie.

Hunter had no doubt those two would mess around some more in a closet to 'celebrate their engagement'.

Within seconds, everyone had left.

Well, almost everyone.

Cheryl rocked back in her chair, watching Hunter with a thoughtful expression.

Hunter remembered the last time they sat like this.

It was probably when he'd first gotten the company, overwhelmed and stressed out of his mind and Cheryl saw, past his endless confidence and puffed out chest, the constant look of fear.

Hunter wondered what she saw now.

"You know," she began, her words ringing loudly after the beat of silence.

"Your dad would be proud."

"That I'm giving my work to other people?" Hunter chuckled.

Cheryl stood up, once again placing a warm hand on his shoulder.

"That you know when to ask for help."

Old World, New World

I don’t know how to describe what the air smells like. It’s strange, how every country has its own smells on this small earth where globalization has impacted every facet of life. You would think a thing like smell would have ist own worldwide homogeneity. Landing in Panama, the smell was the first thing that hit me. It was so foreign, so rank with body odor and other strains I could not recognize, that I immediately wanted to get out of there. I couldn’t wait for the connecting flight to Costa Rica. (Costa Rica smelled like Panama Lite™)

Even in my home country of Germany, you know the smell when you get on a crowded bus, even in the dead of winter and you think it’s a shame deodorant is so underutilized. Maybe I’m just sensitive. Maybe I’m too judgmental.

I should have hated the way Pakistan smelled. God knows I didn’t like Qatar. Or Dubai. Or a million other places. The air quality in Lahore, Pakistan is a 172 – whatever that means -- and it’s encircled by a vibrant red, accompanied by a warning to stay indoors and keep an eye out for certain symptoms that could be caused by the smog and pollution.

I set foot on Pakistani soil and the first thing I did was to breathe in deeply. I think you stop being Pakistani when you stop doing that. When you scowl bitterly, like the woman at the airport who swore she had never seen a more poorly managed baggage claim. A more chaotic airport. I think that’s when you stop being Pakistani, when you have to ask yourself – what am I doing here? When you forget how to dance with the chaos, when you miss your cue to join in on skipping the rope. When you’ve lost the rhythm.

They scanned our bags and double-checked our tags to ensure we were taking only our own bags – a safety measure I was seeing for the first time despite my extensive travels. But maybe looking down on Pakistan is something they bring in from outside, a uniform like the foreign dust on their clothes.  Maybe it’s stamped into their shiny new passports, any color but green. Maybe I could only be impressed because I still knew how to dance. Because I still knew that the red of my passport was not the same as the red of my blood. That all my songs were green.

It was at that same airport that my daughter heard, for the first time in her life, the phrase, “You have such beautiful names.” We’ve been here a week and a half now. She’s still not over it. I know what it’s like, too, when teachers say, “I’m not even going to attempt that name,” and then try to lighten the blow with, “I would only butcher it”; so they leave you among your peers, nameless. Unpronounceable. I know it’s one thing to be told the honor of your name, its meaning, its history, how it reveals your ties to homeland and lineage and spans back generations, in whispered bedtime conversations, and another thing entirely to hear it said aloud by a stranger in a busy airport. To hear her own name read back to her correctly, to hear it admired.

  There is a softness, here, in the way people don’t meet your eye. As if to look too hard would be to wound you. A certain grace, an ingrained respect in the way men lower their gaze. It’s a thing I can’t explain back home – where feminists only know western gender roles and western enforcement of these notions. I couldn’t possibly explain to them why the Sabzi Wala refused to let me load our own cart, saying  - not to me, but to my host – that we do not allow our guests to serve us. How could I explain to anyone why a market vendor would consider me, a stranger he likely will not see again, a guest worthy of such regard? That they withhold neither courtesy nor generosity, because they overflow with these things. With decency and reverence and a natural warmth—they have so much of it to give. It rolls off of them naturally, a byproduct of who they are. But that’s a concept that cannot be understood until it is seen, until it is experienced. Until then, even the most fervent description echoes with disbelief, like little more than an idealistic fantasy. A nostalgic recollection that has been washed in so many romanticizations that any retelling is met with skepticism – until the listener has experienced it for themselves.

There’s a meme going around online, a „What do you mean I might have to go to hell in the afterlife even after having lived my whole life in Pakistan?“ A lot of tongue-in-cheek comments.

I don’t know how to tell them what it is to always be a foreigner. That kindness does not well up from the soil in strange lands as it does here. That hospitality is a word listed in dictionaries for middle-schoolers hearing it for the first time. It sounds cruel. It sounds unkind of me to say that, doesn’t it? Ungrateful, perhaps, when my heart beats in Germany as well, tandem to the heart that beats here. When it is a country that will always have my love and loyalty, even as I spend my life breathing on frosted glass, hoping for a small window of clarity, even as my heartbeat slows beneath several feet of snow, forgotten under the heels of those that would crush me. I don’t know how to explain to them what it is like to starve for warmth, to crave and bend for it like a bone under steady, incrementally increasing pressure, like a rib curving around a heart, needing, needing, needing… What it is like to crave a moment’s touch, an instant of connection, a fleeting warmth with such an intensity you feel you could swallow hell itself whole. I remember when my uncle came to visit and I barely managed to invite his family for dinner, seriously debating just skipping out entirely. I had no time. There was always too much to do. I know how our cold, northern land works. I know the value of a penny. A dime. An hour of time you’ll never, ever get back. I don’t know if they know about it, though, when my brother-in-law’s family opens their doors to all ten of us, finding bedding and food and medicine and whatever else we might need with such a warm welcome you could never feel like a burden. When they kneel in prayer in the evenings, thanking God for our visit. How can I describe such people? How can I describe such a heart?

Then is it any wonder that time itself seems to flow differently for them? More tenderly, more forgiving? Time is kinder to them, embracing them like a loving father – not like one who is ever displeased with you like mine. Not one for whom you can never measure up. Rather, like they are all manner of sea creatures and time itself is the ocean. It almost makes me want to cry, after a lifetime of begging at time’s door.

I try not to say too much. I don’t want to cry and ruin it. I don’t know if I’ll ever experience such kindness again. I don’t know how to repay them. And what could be more German of me than this gnawing need to repay a kindness and free myself of an imagined debt? If I were to express how much pain each waking is, how much agony each day, what sweet relief their kindness has been – they’d likely think me mad. I half-think it myself.

But this is Pakistan.

There’s no place on earth like this. Safe, somehow, from the mad hamster race that consumes the rest of the civilized world. When a woman decides she wants to go shopping, someone is at her side in minutes. I’ve never heard a complaint. Menfolk scramble over each other to make it happen. As if everything they’re living for, all the work they do, is given purpose when a woman expresses a wish.

And yes, I’ve heard the disdainful, „What do you mean a woman cannot leave the house alone?“ What I mean is, why would a woman want to leave the house alone? Why would a man send her alone? Where is the love? Let me come with you, let me drive you, let me hold your things. Perhaps there is no urdu equivalent for “I love you” because there is no absence of love in which such a statement would be needed. Because each action is love. Each cup of tea, each grocery run, the three times they circle the market to park closer to the vegetable market because she asked. The way she promises to get just a few plates and leaves the store with plates, glasses, and lovely little teacups of which one she is sending home with me so I don’t forget her. The way she holds her hand out for money and he doesn’t ask her what for. I’ve heard a few arguments in punjabi, always skirting the line between teasing and actually disagreeing with one another. But I’ve yet to hear a „no“. I don’t know how to describe this to a western world where we still argue over who pays for dinner, or coffee, or the parking meter, on a first date.

Me.

I will always pay. On a first meeting. On the 20th. Paying for me is a privilege that has to be earned. It implies that I trust you enough to stop mentally keeping count of who owes who. It could imply a pre-existing debt that I can never hope to repay regardless. Or a love so deep that I am eternally indebted even before any financial obligations were introduced.

I haven’t paid for a thing since I got here.

And I’m not saying it’s perfect. Or that there’s nothing to be wary of. Or that it’s heaven on earth (although, in my heart of hearts, I can’t help but feel that in some ways, it is). I’m saying there’s a reason people from all over the world come here and find themselves changed when they leave. The heart of the Pakistani people is this nation’s greatest wealth.

It’s the tailor who says, „This is what I do. This is who i am.“ The maid who smiles and jokes while she and her employer call each other „older sister“. It’s the butcher with the well-sculpted mustache whose movements are practiced and rhythmic, like the steps of an ancient, traditional dance, focused. How he pauses before each strike of the knife, when slaughtering a chicken – how that moment in time hangs suspended for him as he recites the short prayer, how you can tell that there’s nothing but him, his Lord, and the animal who gives its life, its meat, to sustain us, in that one fragmented moment – and then it passes and he turns back to his customers. Easy conversation, ever-moving, practiced hands. Until he does it again – and again, time stands still for that one brief moment. It’s mesmerizing. I can’t look away.

If I were an animal, I think, as I do so often, I wouldn’t mind going this way.

There’s a trick to the heat, you know. You have to accept its inevitability. Have to lean into it. Into the sweat beading on your brow, streaming down your face. Drink the good, cold things when you can. Water, Lassi, Rooh Afzah… but mostly, stop fighting the heat. It’s a part of life, like you are. You can coexist. It always works for me.

You’d probably be surprised how green it is, and if you’re from Pakistan, you’ve probably been waiting for me to mention it. And it is green. Everywhere. Veiled by a thick smog that smells like home, but green. And the houses. It doesn’t matter if you live in a dilapidated shack, you’ll make it beautiful – because that’s what it means to be Pakistani. To persevere, to thrive, in the most challenging of circumstances.

You see it in their creative brickwork, in the colorfully painted buildings, where flaking metal ruins the canvas, in the world-famous trucks that glitter almost like brides. Pakistanis will always find the beauty in all things, and they will always try and show it to you.

It must be something in our blood. Some tie to the land that defies description. The way we walk this soil differently. The way we stand under this sky. Like it’s a birthright no one can take from us. I’ve never known a nation to so love their country. They love Pakistan almost as much as they love to complain about it. Innumerable national songs blare from radios, new ones released each year. And I think it’s this – the people – that keep Pakistan alive even as the political scene plays out like a horror movie franchise with new installments every couple of years.

Because you cannot keep these people down. You can not break their spirits. They’ve faced all manner of tribulations, they’re not afraid of you. I understand why Imran Khan fights so hard for this country, this nation – because he believes in them. In their potential, their strength, their indomitable hearts. And I believe in them, too.

Maybe that makes me an idealistic fool. But I’d rather be that, than a cynical analyst. I believe in people like the people I’ve met. I believe in the love that binds us all together no matter where on earth we are. I believe in the passion the very mention of this country stokes to life in our souls. There must be something. Something deeper than the flesh, something tied to the soul, that made me turn to my children the moment the airplane landed, and say, „Welcome Home.“

A letter to my body...

Dear body,

I have always been unkind to you. Always looked down on you as if you need to be better. I sincerely wanted to say I am sorry for the harm that I have caused you.

I have always wished I had hotter and sharper face like most Pakistanis, but I don't. I wasn't born with the complexion most males like, ie, white. I wasn't born with the perfect slim hourglass figure, which most males die for. I didn't have the most beautiful eyes growing up, because I have been wearing glasses. I always complain about why I am a woman when I'm on my periods. I am upset I have diabetes despite my eating disorder history and other complications...

But it is fine. This is how GOD made me. I will try to lower my gaze and stay happy within my limited blessings.

However, starting today, I promise:

I will always be grateful for my health, no matter what happens

I will always try to take care of you

I will always treat you with kindness and love

I won’t compare you to other bodies out there either on social media or in-person

I am not responsible for the pornographic and ungrateful gazes of my potentials or society in general. I won't push you to be someone you aren't

I will try my best to live a life with no regrets

I will not overburden you with things I didn't want to do or made me tired

I will try to listen to you.

I have never been grateful for you. But thank you to my mitochondria, cells, systems, and health today- Alhamdulillah. Given the short life I have, I want to be grateful for my every breath and make it worthwhile.
