The phrase “Cercatore’s Congeries” was coined to indicate my passion for knowledge. It means Seeker’s collection.
So, who am I ? What am I? Why am I? Hmm! So many questions, so many ways of answering them-yet the weaker me falters before answering fearing I might not be accepted. But the stronger me keeps on pushing, urging me to say and do the right thing, no matter what. Truth of the matter is I don’t know myself fully yet; I am still learning about this intricate mind of mine and that of others. I think and fully believe we all are capable of influencing other people via our minds, even little thoughts that run through our brain, little electrical signals, these can get picked up by another in the crowd. That explains how environment influences other people; you hang out with a drug addict and you are going to pick some of his bad habits although you may not choose to be an addict like him; you hang out with a poet and I bet you can start writing poetry. 
Now a bit about my so-called degrees, little labels the world has put on me because they feel comfortable recognizing me in such and such manner. I graduated from University of Toronto in 2005. I did a major in Biology and double minor in Mathematical Sciences and Philosophy.
In my spare time, I love to work out: my interests include Martial Arts, Yoga, Walking, Weightlifting and Dim Mak (martial arts pressure points). I also write poetry and stories. I got started on poetry as I journeyed within and without and got hurt several times due to the preconceived notions other individuals possess about Muslim women who choose to wear the veil. So, poetry is my outlet for managing stress this life places on my beautiful mind.
So, a while ago, I came across this UofT student who loves to blog. And as usual, I picked up this nifty habit from this brother. Funny, I volunteered with this brother only 2-3 times and only found out about his blogging habits when I came across his blog while surfing the net. I guess some people are just a very strong and positive influence.
I intend to use this webblog to write about subject matters which intrigue me. This might range from religion, philosophy, biology, internet marketing, working out, martial arts, poetry, writing, cooking, baking, etc. etc. More ideas are running through my brain as I jot this introduction down. Increasing this list is a possibility which is playing in my mind right now but at the current moment, that’s all I will promise.
You might be wondering why does this blogger wishes to share her interests with everyone. Well the answer is simple: Knowledge that is left unshared is incomplete and useless.
So keep in touch with this blog. I intend to update it when I get time on my hands.
Peace Out
