A conversation that took place in a fruit market yesterday...
Me to my mum: ..you're making kabab..?
Random Pakistani woman in a salwar kameez: *laughs*
Mother: Did you understand what she said?
Woman: Yes, how do you not like kabab?! It's great for fatoor..
Mother: You're Muslim?!
Me: Obviously.
Woman: Yes, of course!
Mother: Oh sorry it's just because you don't wear hijab, I assumed..
Woman: I used to wear it but I took it off, you know.
Me: Why?
Woman: My husband didn't like it.
Me: ..why?
Woman: He thinks I look Bengali in it *laughs*
Mother: Oh.
Me: Err, what's wrong with..?
Woman: You know.. lots of them wear hijab.
Mother: He really shouldn't be telling you not to wear it..
Woman to me: Well, it's good your husband doesn't mind.
Me: I'm not marri-
Woman: Mine just doesn't like it. Trust me, if your husband is happy, so are you.
Me: Right.
Mother: So when's Eid..?

How sad that she removed it.
If you husband is happy then you are? That is NOT how I was raised. :o)
Btw...I love love love your blog. I first came across it when I first reverted and began to wear hijab. I love that you hold true to your beliefs but are respectful of others even if they are different. Mashallah. I would love it if you checked out my blog and told me what you thought. :o)
