Introducing Faridastan | My First Step Into the Hive Community
Faridastan
Hey ๐
I'm Farida
I was born in Karachi, the famous city of Pakistan, located in Sindh province.
But my roots are from Dera Ismail Khan (KPK) from father's side, and chaman(Balochistan) from mother's side.
All my life and education was done in Karachi.
Later when I was 23, I got married to an army officer, who was my neighbor so we started liking each other, and things ended with a nikah knot.
Im the eldest daughter and totally different from the other siblings and cousins, you can say the problem child, because of exquisive behavior.
I belong to a business owner + Pathan family, there was no focus on education, nor any guidelines for higher education, my father was much liberal among my other uncles. So then after my college, I did a few diplomas and short courses.
-Like textile designing
-Fine arts, pottery , food and beverages diploma
I was the first girl in the family who learned driving, even the first girl who did a love marriage.
My married life didn't turn out well. After 20 years of domestic abuse and violence, he divorced me ( no regrets happily divorced) with 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl.
It was a rough ride after divorce, but allhamdulilah survived, I used to do 3 jobs, in the morning teaching at a special children school. After that I used to go to a studio for voice over for dramas, commercials or documentaries, and a night shift at a restaurant as a restaurant manager.
My life got settled when I got a job at a UK based NGO as a clinic manager, a handsome salary with benefits.
But meanwhile my ex claimed to take kids away from me, I did not agree but my daughter decided to move because she wanted him also to have the responsibility, because he was not supporting when kids were with me.
So I got alone , that was the hardest period of my life, any mother can understand.
So at this point I started looking for a partner or a boyfriend as a revenge to my ex.
But my daughter was not happy with her decision , going back to her father's house was a mistake. He started torturing the kids.
She was a brilliant child , since childhood she always toped in every class. She wanted to become a doctor, but her father refused to pay her medical college fees, and made her work at home, preparing food, washing dishes, laundry, cleaning etc.
In this all mess one day she got a cardiac arrest while sleeping on 18 Dec 2019, and she left this world at only 21 years of age.
I was shattered, resigned from my job , spending my days and nights crying, visiting her grave almost everyday, spending hours and hours there.
Suddenly, one fine morning I woke up and thought life could not be spent like this. I needed to work ,earn to survive, so I decided to leave Karachi and move to some other city, so Islamabad was my first choice. I sold my furniture, packed only 2 bags of belongings and came to Islamabad.
I stayed for a month with a friend, searched for a job and a place to live and luckily got both.
So now I'm spending my life with my rules and enjoying my hobbies mostly traveling around.
I love cooking. Here are a few dishes am sharing with my readers.
My second passion is painting. Art makes me feel accomplished.
I also like DIY projects. Some of the pottery I made.
I love to share my travelling experiences. A couple of days before I came from Chitral. I will share more about it in one of my travel posts.
So, this was my life short biography. Now I'm living and well settled in Islamabad, 1,444 km away, from my home town, and family.
I have made some new friends here, but mostly, I love staying at home and keep myself busy with my hobbies, growing vegetables, invite friends over lunch or dinner so cooking gives me stratification, making crochet items, knitting or painting.
People around always asking me, don't you get bored living alone, but honestly as a Pisces I love my loneliness ๐.
I am thankful to @hilal09 for introducing me to Hive and blogging. A whole new world for me, I am excited and looking forward to share my stories. Our friendship thrives further my friend. I miss being with you in Karachi.
See you soon.

Thank you ๐ for the support.
Hi Farida, welcome to Hive!
Hello and welcome to Hive!
You have had a turbulent life so far when I read your history.
I hope life will be calmer now for you.
You seem very creative! There are some nice communities on Hive where you can share your creativity. Enjoy!
Thank you for the welcome and support.
Hi @faridakhan welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.
First of all, my condolences on the death of your daughter. When people are taken from us in the prime of their lives, it is beyond our comprehension and is undoubtedly the most terrible thing that can happen to a mother. On the other hand, you are an example of how it is possible to carry on despite that void in your heart. You have a real gift with your hands, as you use them in all your hobbies to bring beauty to the world. I particularly like your drawings and paintings, they are lovely!
Here are a couple of links with information to help you get started on Hive, and I recommend you explore these communities, which I think youโll enjoy: YAF - Young Art Fair, Needle Work Monday and Worldmappin.
Tips and information as a Hive newbie here: newbie guide.
Communities you might like that are part of the OCD Communities Incubation Program. Important: read their rules and post in the one that fits your content.
Have a good day!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and kindness. I am sorry for the late reply, I am out of resource credits.
Your message truly touched my heart. Losing a daughter is a pain that never fully leaves, but life somehow teaches us to keep moving while carrying that love and emptiness together inside us.
I am deeply grateful that you appreciated my drawings and paintings. Art and creativity have become a peaceful refuge for me, a way to express emotions that words often fail to describe. Your encouragement means more than you know.
Thank you once again for your compassion and beautiful support. ๐
Itโs a pleasure to welcome you to Hive. Iโve sent you a small delegation via the @rc-assist account so you wonโt have any issues with resource credits. That way, you can start interacting and getting around with peace of mind. If you have any questions, just tag me and Iโll get back to you as soon as possible. Enjoy this adventure!
Everyone on the blockchain is given a certain amount of "RESOURCE CREDITS" (RC) that can be "spent" in publishing posts, writing comments, etc. Everything we do requires a few RC to accomplish, similar to "mana" or "gas" on other blockchains. We are given RC depending on how much HIVE POWER (HP) we have staked. If you don't have much HP, you will use all of your RC quickly. RC recharges at a rate of 20% each day.
You have been given a temporary delegation ("loan") of HP to provide you with a greater allotment of RC, courtesy of @theterminal's RC-assist project. We ask that you:
โข do not plagiarize (steal or 'spin' others' work)
โข remain active
โข comment/upvote others' posts to build your network
โข PowerUp rewards to grow your account, do not 'cash-out' to an exchange
You may check your RC any time at https://hiveblocks.com
The best of luck to you on Hive! ๐
Oh I see, thank you for the explanation, I am understanding more everyday with the help of fellow hivians. I am grateful for the resource credits, a great help to comment and interact. Wishing you a good day.
Hello @faridakhan your introductory post brought so many mixed emotions and more of sad that you lost your daughter who is so young and dont worry, you will meet her again in Heavenโจ.... You are so talented woman from your family and many skills you got and this is the perfect platform for you to explore and execute that all you have. You are going to experience this platform as 2nd home as many people are going to interact with you and wont left you feel alone. "My married life didn't turn out well. After 20 years of domestic abuse and violence, he divorced me ( no regrets happily divorced" Domestic abuse and violence is worst form a married woman can experience after marriage. I dont know why you have survived with him for these many years than leaving him before itself. What about your sons?? Were t they withyou? I hope they also doing well and great..
As a token welcoming you i am sending you 5 Hive tokens to you...
Thank you,
Thank you so much indeed for the kind words and kind gesture. Yes, my sons are young men now and they are in touch with me. I spent the previous Eid with them and they also visit me frequently.
I am happy to have great support from the Hive community.
Wishing you a great day.
