Blah & Bleh!

I was here!

I’m Shibani

I had gone for a meeting today. There, some lady asked me, ‘Are you Kashmiri?’. It was probably my sense of humor in a stressful situation that I promptly replied, ‘No, I’m Shibani’.

More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travelers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands;
A voice so thrilling [...]

I had been to a nearby dairy to buy [...]
