Life as we

Nasreen Tahir Wafai.
It’s hard to
survive as a woman in a society we live in but it’s even harder to survive as a
widow. People do not accept you, it is hard dealing with the people around a
widow. Their advice, insensitive comments and pointless conversations. Being a
widow is like a woman has lost a right to laugh, dress up and look beautiful.
But here is a woman who fought all the evils in the society she protected her 3
children and survived. She is now a language teacher and Scouts and Girl Guides
mistress at St.bonaventures High School Qasimabad, also a writer of six books
in Sindhi language, social activist and an amazing artist who makes handmade
stuff. She calls sewing machine her best friend. She was the only female who
managed to come to Hyderabad from her small village Jindo Dero district
Shikarpur for further studies. She completed her B.Ed from Sindh University Old
Campus Hyderabad.
She is the woman with the most beautiful and
smiling eyes. Her eyes will tell you everything about her life. Her soft hands
will tell you how generous and kind she has been all her life. Her calm and
steady personality will tell you about her act of humanity. Her simplicity and
captivating grace will never let you take your eyes off her. She believes in
giving to those who are needy. Being rich in not what you have in your bank
account but what’s in your heart she says. She never celebrates any occasion
alone. She distributes Eidi , cloths , toys and many other stuff made by her
own hands to poor kids of different schools and orphanage houses. She has a
non-paid, volunteer organization named after her late husband “Tahir Wafai
welfare organization” which helps the poor and the needy. This organization has
recently distributed used stuff to ILM JO SOJHORO primary school and eidi gifts
to SOS Village Jamshoro including toys. Bags, shoes, cushions. She also
arranges exhibitions. She has an official website nasreenwafai.wordpress.com,
here you can find all the information about her exhibitions and photos along
with description about her work including handmade bags, cushions, bedsheets,
pillows, Sindhi embroided Gajj, baby quilts, pouches and also descriptions of
delicious recipes. She suggests reading Shah jo Risalo and Khuwab Nagar,
columns by Mahmood Mughal. She also wrote a book of poems for primary level
children “Nandhra Suhnra Baar Pyara”. She says “Managing time makes your life
much easier. Wasting time is like wasting your life”. One should stop
complaining and starts appreciating to what he/she has, Never be the reason
behind someone’s cry that’s the secret ingredient of a peaceful life she says.
She is an
inspiration to me and many other women who are having a hard time in their
lives. Well if she can do it we all can. All we need is a little courage,
patience and a lot of hard work and soon the world will start recognizing and
appreciating you.
