Testimonials and Comments for Masum
have. But she is my best friend, so get
your own. Masum is such an amazing
force and a completely calming
presence. And, though she might tell
you otherwise, she is a fabulous pizza-
maker and cookie-baker.
before i was even conceived. she pretty
much was my pseudo older sister when
we lived in elgin. my family would leave
my ass at her house when they were
sick of me. she used to babysit me,
and what a fine job she did!! masum
and her mom (hansa auntie) introduced
me to the fine world of spiral macaroni
and cheese. still to this day, i thank both
of them. i don't know where i would be
without those spirals. hope all is going
well masum!! :)
so incredibly vulnerable to life. This is
definitely a person the world should
keep on its radar, because she's going
to turn a lot of heads one day. If you
want to meet someone who will engage
you heart, mind, and soul, look no
further than Masum.
grounding and calming force you could
ask for if you're ever inclined to
study multivariate statistics! Masum
knows what she wants, and has an
elegant way of getting it. She is
perfect for heart-to-hearts and deep
intellectual conversations. I love
this girl!
gift. Conversations with her are like
wandering through endless forests with
trees bearing the most beautiful
fruits. She is kind, generous of heart,
knows herself well and continues to
learn more with each passing day. She
is a wonderful person and I miss living
on the same coast! She is one to get to
know.
looked up to her. She inspires
everyone around her to try and do
amazing things like she does all the
time. She is always innovative,
selfless, insightful and can do the
impossible. As cliche as it might
sound, I am always so impressed with
her ability to overcome obstacles and
come out of them stronger and with a
smile.
