This Is What I Sound Like?

June 07, 2018
Yay!!! It's finally here!!!


Welcome to the pilot of DM FM - a podcast by Desert Mannequin hosted by me, Anum Bashir. For the very first episode, I was deeply averse to the idea of being on my own. Even for an extrovert like myself, the thought of putting my voice and opinions out there for thousands to consume felt daunting. So I rallied my husband into joining me to help get this much anticipated podcast off the ground, and the timing couldn't be more perfect.


Together, Waqas and I are fast approaching our 7th annual "Birthaversary" celebrations - a phrase we've coined because I got married on my birthday back in 2011.


Given this milestone achieved, and having survived the infamous 7 year itch, Waqas and I are reflecting on our relationship, and what it means to be happily married. We're sharing with you the journeys we've taken (both good and bad), and where we'd like to go from here. Enjoy!
