Simply Aasia

Whats the flavour of the month? What cause has everyone triled about. There are more people being oppressed than ever before. And not just based on religion or culture One of the blogs I follow a little miss Ragen Chastain  speaks about Anti-Obesity being the new homophobia. And it got me thinking How easy it is for people to actually make fun of fat people. Take away bigger issues of the world and focus for once on individuals. I dont mean become selfish - but you know what I feel oppressed most days I am fat, I am a pavement special, no pure bred here. I come from a disadvantaged background all thats missing is my homosexual orientation. I know Ricky Gervai s makes mention that comparing some ones weight issues to a sexual orientation is like a gay man being weaned onto c**k. But its not about that, its the attitude others have that its OK toColour Bash, Culture Bash, Gay Bash or Fat Bash or Jewish Bash for that matter. To think you can make fun of other people.  Wh...

Hi I am Aasia and I have a hero complex And I get burnt out And burnt /steps away from soapbox

Stubborn ovaries broken chances Poly-cystic dreams which don't take root. Rebel bodies don't belong in traditional homes.

Nafisa and I both did July lists and she beat me to the punch for August. 1.  After 6 months of renovation both inside and outside.  My favourite room in the house has to be the lounge/dining room purely for the colour choice Its Plascon cool spring  and the pictures by Jeanette 2.  Another wonderful addition to my "artwork collection" from the easel of   Shameema . I love the colours and she doesn't . (Terrible picture, I apologise it doesn't do the colours justice) 3. Finally a plus size section worth noting!!

Mr Price Online  not only did it make shopping for my Eid clothes stress free. The Easy user interface and speedy delivery will make me come back. These are 2 of the 5 items I bought online. And they fit PERFECTLY 4. Ramadaan Photo a day Although you can b...

We sat on the couch, her icy feet tucked under my shirt on my stomach to get them warm. She had pain and I gave comfort. She held my hand and said the nasty words "My cancer is back" I had pain and she gave comfort. Making plans together on the couch watching series. "this time is bad and we have to accept" We had pain and God comforted. Moaning noises wake me from a restless sleep Pain induced tears and frantic phone calls She needed help and I needed God. The flashing red of the ambulance lights, against early morning rain, not a sound could be heard. She left and I remained. أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ "I ask Allah who is the Lofty and the Lord of the Mighty Throne that He cures you"
