First post

Hi!

I'm starting to write a blog for the first time in order to share some of my believes, ideas, style, likes & dislikes. I would also love to talk about being a full time mother and just life in general.  A lot of what we think and share on social sites can get misinterpreted but here it is much easier to communicate with an invisible audience. Whoever stumbles across my blog will be able to read my posts and know for a fact that these are just the things I believe and not directed towards anyone else.
My blog is named "Zainahzarlasht" which is a combination of my daughter's first name and my first name.  I use that for all my social network pages such as FB, IG, Snapchat.. though I'm not a very active snapchat user. A little bit about our names.  My name Zarlasht is a Pashtoon name and it means the golden branch.  this name was given to me by my paternal grandfather (even though my father's side is not Pashtoon) but he loved Pashtoons and so I was named that.  My mom named me Minah which means Love in Pashto. 
My daughter's name Zainah is an Arabic name which means a beautiful ornament.  It was in 2009 when I decided of this name for whenever and if I ever had a daughter.  I use to watch this Indian soap called "Aap ki Antara" which was a story of an autistic little girl Antara.  I was in love with that little girl playing the character of Antara and found out that her real name was "Zaynah".  So that's how I got that name and the other thing I love about the name is the fact that no Afghan has this name.  My husband changed the letter "Y" in Zainah to the letter "I" so that a few letters of his name Imran are part of her name too... such as the I and N.  So that's me and my little family.  Enjoy reading my blogs :)
