A story of ‘Nobody but Somebody’ – a space where real reflections unfold.

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I’m a South Asian woman from the UK, now living in the Middle East, where I work as a teacher at an international school. For years, I’ve reflected on the complexities of my life, deeply rooted in my South Asian heritage. Growing up as a British Pakistani, caught between two cultures, I often felt lost without guidance. I struggled to understand my identity, always sensing that I was different—a free spirit. Today, after all the challenges I’ve faced, I’m content, happy with who I am, and grateful for the journey that’s brought me to this point in my life.

As a British Pakistani, torn between two cultures, I spent much of my youth searching for my identity. I always knew I was different—a free spirit. But after everything I’ve faced, I’ve found peace, happiness, and contentment with myself and my life. This is my story of growth, hope, gratitude, perseverance, resilience and the strength to stay true to who I am.
