THE QUEEN OF MY DREAMS (2023)

directed by Fawzia Mirza

[uma1ra]

Raise the bar of your worship in these final days. No one is promised the next Ramadan. So give this your all & be consistent during this period. Don’t lose it by picking only a few nights to worship.

I was raised to believe in tradition. I grew up hearing that a woman's true home is with her husband, that marriage is half of her faith, the ultimate purpose of her existence. I was taught that as a woman, I have to cover myself, that I must remain unseen until the day I am given to a man. And then to let him take from me, in ways I have spent my whole life avoiding.

And when that moment comes, I cannot hesitate. I cannot shy away. I must be willing. I must be ready.

And for the longest time I did not question it.

There is no pain like the pain of a dream you have held so close to yourself coming undone. Realizing that marriage, the very thing you were conditioned to look forward to, is not about love at all. That it was never about love. Marriage is just a facade. A tool for patriarchal control.

Waking up to your own reality, is such an intimate type of violence. Realizing that this is something you experience. That it's not an abstract concept, something to debate about in sociology and talk about amongst peers. Realizing that when the conversation ends, I go home to it.

It is not a theory. It is not history. It is my reality.

Aasmaan Par Nazar Hai Logon Ki,

Chand Inka Wahin Pe Rehta Hai.

Main Magar Aasmaan Pe Kya Dhoondu,

Chand Mera Zameen Pe Rehta Hai.

(*Damian isn’t ethnically South Asian - he’s Arab - but he did grow up in Pakistan which is good enough for me!!)

On this day in history -- August 15th, 1947 India became independent from Great Britain. 🇮🇳

Pakistan's Independence Day was yesterday! (August 14th, 1947). 🇵🇰

After 200 years of English violence and colonial interference (starting around the late 18th century) and 50+ years of outright English colonialism on the Indian Subcontinent, India (and Pakistan) were free from England.

Indian Independence Movement.

Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

Rani of Jhansi.

Meera bai.

I've heard so many Pakistanis gush about Indian ethnic wear and our handwork. And if y'all were wondering if it also works the other way round, 2 women told the kapdawala here "Pakistani serialwala kapda hi chahiye bhaiyya" and I'm not gonna lie, all the fabrics looked gorgeous.

Pakistani Mormons

Managed to reach out and get in contact with probably the only mormons in Pakistan! Going to contact them at their number and request a copy of the Book of Mormon, D&C and the Pearl of Great Price. Hopefully the number is active and things go amicably. Wild.
