- Birthday
- December 31
- Bio
- I was born in Islamabad, Pakistan, where I have spent the majority of my life. For the past four years I have been living in Ottawa, Canada, and am an undergraduate student at Carleton University. I will be starting at Osgoode Hall Law school in a few months.
I have a lot of interests, some quite unrelated to the rest and pretty random. I have a burning passion for politics and international relations. I live to argue over issues of philosophy and the law. I like to cook. I have a novitiate's interest in feminist theory, especially in post-colonial feminist theory. I occasionally dabble in sociology. But, most of all, I love to write. That is why I am on Open Salon and would love any advice I can receive on the stuff I produce.
I blog at http://cogitations-waleed.blogspot.com/
Oh and my birthday is not December 31st. I don't know why I can't change that.
