AngloAsian Girl's life on my Bradford Page... Hello VT'ers!!
I think, and please correct me if I am wrong, I am one of the original VT members. It began unwittingly creating this account but with no regrets. I have met some fantastic folk - virtually and none-virtually! Enjoyed the original chat feature.
I have suddenly got the VTBug and can't stop!!! Although I owe it to my
VT friend NC_Ziggy, who wrote and complimented my writing style. I was
embarrassed to build pages before as my travels are not as exotic as
other VT members, but Steve put me right! Thanks amigo! Check out
Steve's site or daily dose of inspiration - he is great at that ;-)

|  | Life should be a journey of Character building I always ask myself
"What have I done today that make me a better person tomorrow"
People worry far more about themselves than others these days, and are quick to make a judgement if the person is different to them...
Rather than count what we DON'T have. Me, on the other hand, I have learnt that would I rather would go home, read my prayers, yoga, meditate and count the GOOD things in my life and be GRATEFUL.
Look at this picture of Bradford right now as I write...these kind of things we take for granted...
Do me a favour........ask yourself these questions today before you sleep:
What are you glad for today? What are you happy about? What are you grateful for? What made you smile today? |
A glimpse into my My 'Pakhtun' Heritage........ "The post modern world has to start to get used to double standards. Among ourselves, we operate on the basis of laws and open co-operative security. But, when dealing with old-fashioned states outside the postmodern continent of Europe we need to revert to the rougher methods of an earlier era - force, pre-emptive attack, deception, whatever is necessary..?, so wrote Robert Cooper, in a pamphlet, just before the U.S. started bombing Afghanistan. | | | My neice poses in Grandads Afghan hat |

| | What do you think of the World? "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon'. Need I say more?" (Ref: Unknown, from an email circulated) |
Amara/Lara Croft! During my spare time I practice various forms of martial arts. I also help out communities through local community centres. I have helped build confidence of women from abusive marriages and design activities to help them.
I belong to World Jujitsu Federation club. .....This picture is me demonstrating a Jujitsu throw on a very tall girl in my class. She is great. I have her arm in a lock with one hand but she still smiled for the photo - bless her!
I belong to the
Taekwondo School of Great Britain under the coaching of Englands Coach and 5 times world and European champion Kenny Walton. I think he is one of the most amazing people I have met as he is down to earth and respectful and instill great confidence in his pupils. | | |

| | Onwards and Upwards... Its funny how life changes. When I enrolled on the VT site I was venturing for the first time in the unknown abyss of the Internet during a diploma in Hummanities and Social Sciences. Now I am a postgraduate in Networks and Information Engineering. As you can see from my picture!!
I live in Bradford which to some of you may had been an unknown city in North East England till we started putting ourselves on the map through notorious headlines!.......
The Manningham Riots
Birth of the Labour Party
Home of Pop Idol Gareth Gates .
Birthplace of the Bronte Authors.
Birthplace of David Hockney.
Named Curry Capital
For those who want to know more about Bradford, the famous Bradfordians, curries, culture and riots! then please look at my Bradford page and TRAVELOGUES. |
MY GRADUATION Uni life for me was one of the best experiences of my life. I was member of all sorts of societies and clubs. Most of all I met people from far and wide - the whole world at university doorstep!
The mysterious woman with me in my profile picture is my best friend at uni. She is one of the people who inspired me, I was a broken woman venturing out into the adventure of emancipation and self-betterment. Tobi consoled, guided, helped me study and always made me feel confident and great about myself as she found me to be so intelligent and laughed at all my Jokes!!!! | | |
