Padash

I am Padash: once a sheltered, girl raised in Pakistan, who left for college in the States to break out of that protective bubble to experience life on her terms. By the way, I am not a writer. I am simply a girl who talks a lot and sometimes I talk on paper about crazy experiences I have had, interesting people I have met and thoughts I usually cant speak of out loud. I can be emailed directly on padashp@yahoo.com.

Ode to my Peoples!

Padash Oct 22, 2009 interacts: 41 Views: 3454

We will always have in common; a bourgeois Aunty, a ‘Vilayat’ palat, a hijabi conservative and a provocative nonconformist.

Two Tears in a Bucket

Padash Sep 15, 2009 interacts: 304 Views: 10986

Call it a need for closure or an innate obstinacy, but this column my dear friends, is going to be about Rosa as well.

Shake What Yo Amma Gave You

Padash Aug 20, 2009 interacts: 302 Views: 14103

And now without further a due, here are a few tips I like to share as the scholarly confessions of a former Paki stripper.

Afia from Karachi Company

Padash Jul 17, 2009 interacts: 219 Views: 12839

Afia was no ordinary girl from around the corner. She was a woman with much bigger dreams for herself than what her Karachi Company life offered.

Odd Jobs

Padash Jun 10, 2009 interacts: 44 Views: 4600

So what if you ever scrubbed a toilet in a rough time or worked at a gas station or shed every sheath of your pride at a job interview? Remember, days from now, it will merely be an interesting memory for you and only you to cherish.

Why Yes: Homeless Hoes!!!

Padash May 12, 2009 interacts: 256 Views: 16605

I had initially wanted to write a piece on my experiences as a stripper, I decided to take a few steps back and write about the equally sordid odd jobs I did before my debut as Rosa.

Aliya and the 3 Brothers

Padash Apr 11, 2009 interacts: 44 Views: 5771

Aliya (my then best friend) was the lucky biotch wooed and asked out by all three of these handsome brothers. Am I bitter? Why Yes!

Happy Effing VD to you too!

Padash Mar 10, 2009 interacts: 55 Views: 6954

So here I am. Out of town on a work conference with my boss. In yet another comfy bed. The large windows on my hotel room paint a pretty picture of downtown Seattle. Bright, enticing.

Pen-Pals

Padash Feb 19, 2009 interacts: 16 Views: 5270

I was a young, sheltered girl ready to see the world and live a crazy life of anonymity. I made my plans for college. Plans to shave my head and dye my hair electric blue.
