ABOUT MISBA

When I'm talking to clients, clients who ask me to draw for them, I tell them I'm an artist. When I critique and talk to authors, I say I'm a writer. When I review books, I say I'm a reader. When I was in China, I used to say I'm a Kung Fu student whenever the town people asked me who I am and what I'm doing in the poorest city of the province of China. When I was sewing my own wedding dress and my mother-in-law, my cousins, and everyone else were trying to convince me not to: "Don't do it. What if it gets ruined? It's your special day! Don't take the risk." I told them, "I'm a fashion designer, and a bad dress can't ruin a wedding. How could something so material ruin something so abstract?" I asked. I got no answer. Well, I never designed or sewed a dress for others. Not yet. (Not counting the ones meant as gifts). But in that month of my wedding, I was a fashion designer and makeup artist. 

Yes, I did my own makeup that evening. 

My regular week passes with books, laptops, coffee; watching sunrise-and-sunset, doing dummy moves with no dummy, learning Bharatanatyam Mudras from charts, and practicing music in a piano I found in the dumpster. Don't forget my husband, who reminds me to eat and sleep. 

I was a student of Architecture, for a while, until I left, for God's Architecture interested me more than men's. But that place around a bunch of creative people inspired my devotion to anything creative. 

Now here, it's only one bio. I wonder if I'll be in trouble when my clients see this page. What do I say when you ask me who I am?

Here, no doubt, I am the indirect creator of KUSHA, considering my Creator designed my path and shaped my thoughts in a way so I'd write it one day. Sometimes, I wonder if I own the credit for Kusha or God does. There's a reason, the first verse in the divine book I believe in says: 'All praises are for The One, the creator of all the universes.'

Sometimes, I'm scared to post about the things I do, for the praise should go to The One. But being an author, I need to post them. 

So, here, on my bio, I'm just a wanderer who loves to create because The One loves to create. 

I'm a fan of His arts and music. 

If you like my works, I'm blessed to have your attention. Thanks!
