I started working in my 20s. Worked hard for 25 years, saved and invested, took voluntary retirement in my 40s. Every single penny is honest and hard earned.
Now I travel, watch movies, I gym, I learn piano, learn singing and I do voluntary work in an organisation.
I am not perfect but this is what worked:
1. Invested in SIPs as soon as I started working
2. Invested in a commercial property that gives me monthly rent
3. Invested in Sukanya Samruddhi, ICICI Pru Smart Kid, LIC Jeevan Tarun and HDFC Young Star to secure my daughter’s future
4. Invested in schemes that give guaranteed returns (ICICI Pru, HDFC and LIC)
5. Invested in good Mutual Funds
Non negotiable:
Medical insurance
I made mistakes:
Didn’t take care of myself in 20s and 30s (often eating junk food or tea-biscuits to save money instead of lunch), was over sensitive and emotional (which affected my health), tried to please everyone, sometimes worked too hard. I still make mistakes but I try to improve.
What I do regularly:
I pray
I donate (since 2015, every year I sponsor a student)
I take care of elders at home
I read books
I am blessed with a good partner who loves and supports me, but trust me, it is because we have worked towards a good relationship, it doesn’t come automatically.
Long post, but sharing it for the first time because maybe someone needs to hear this today ❤️

As rare & as critically endangered as Snow Leopard or GIB
This is the rarest & most precious forest type of Pakistan - Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest - limited to few foothills of Tret & Kahuta
Visit this millenia old Biodiversity & Evolutionary Wonder before it's gone forever

Finally, a former Pakistani Cricketer raises voice for Imran Khan. Thanks Javed Miandad!
Hoping more people with influence speak up for Imran Khan’s medical treatment.
It’s not politics, it’s human rights emergency.

This video on the Top 5 AI Tools was created by Rubina Ejaz, a jugnuu student, using the AI skills she learned in class.
She spent around eight hours developing the idea, creating the script and scenes, refining AI prompts, working on character consistency and lip sync, and putting the final video together.
This is what learning at jugnuu is designed to produce: students using new skills to create real projects of their own.
jugnuu classes are completely free.
Students from 12-18 years of age can join a four-month cohort at select jugnuu locations or enroll in our one-month online classes.
Learn more and enroll at jugnuu.org.

As a Turkish songwriter and composer, I wanted to celebrate the Happy Independence Day of #Pakistan with an English song I have written and composed today: One Pakistan!... I hope you will feel and like it. 🤲☺️

My friends David and his wife Marian, and Colette and Tracey had travelled to Karachi for my wedding. I took them to Frere Hall. There they had tea made the traditional Pakistani way and loved it.

A beautiful example of Gothic architecture in Pakistan.
