I had  forgotten the traditional style of letter writing as if it never happened to me. I am using the word happened after going through an experience last night. While searching for a lost document I bumped into an old treasure box of letters, paper cards and printed photographs....ahh those good old days. Those cards reminded me of my childhood, my relationship with my siblings before we all got lost in different corners of this planet. Those lifeless pieces of paper ... Read More

I am motivated, touched and impressed by this simple yet beautiful story by Mr Asad Ali. After reading this I felt a huge burden of responsibility on my shoulders (Even more as I am a  teacher by profession). We often assume that these beggers will stay on streets all their lives but they need a little help, a small push, some direction, a kind heart and our precious time. I know you will feel the same after reading this. Riaz wanted ... Read More

Strolling on my way to work this morning I was too involved in thinking 'How things are getting from bad to worse everyday'. The beautiful spring morning seemed gloomy and I envied each brand new car driver and luxury home owners in this post sector of Islamabad. We all have the same Creator, who made us alike and Claims to love everyone then why this discrimination? Allah has given so much to some people and has made survival impossible for ... Read More

Zindage kia hai, aye dost! Aao sochein aur pareshann houn ..... Our Holy Prophet has summed up 'life' in the most interesting way! Abdullah ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them both),  relates that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) once held my shoulders and said: “Live in this world as (if you are) a wayfarer or a stranger.” Being a stranger you enjoy the life the most when you look at it as a new and unexplored thing BUT you ... Read More

During my days of living in the hostel I learnt how to talk myself out of trouble. Feeling low, home sick or having trouble coping with so many new people and many such moments raised the need of having friendly ear and shoulder! Which is hard to get living with friends of your own age. I managed to talk to myself and control my negative feelings which kept me out of depression in those lonely days when only means of ... Read More

Chalo apni apni eid manayein.... A recreational cum religious activity for our maulanas takes place a few times every year where a scene is set and maulanas explore the skies. This is called "spot the moon" and whole of the nation looks from their eyes. They have the equipment and the met department to assist them but our moon controversy is here to stay. All other issues haunting us like floods, drones and sialkot boys are put aside at such times and ... Read More

This bird is trying to stop the other one from speaking. It seems even the birds do not believe in the freedom of expression any more:))) Or it looks like a tired husband is back from work and cannot tolerate the wife's complaints. He has lost his temper like humans :))) Anyway, it is excellent photography. I wonder how someone captured this unique action and that too with perfection. can you think of any other caption? "yeh dastoor-e-zubaan bandi hai kaisa teri mehfil ... Read More

What a nice way to go!! Mr Gordon Brown leaves 10 Downing st. after an emotional farewell speech. He admits defeat, he said "good bye" and went away with his wife and cute little boys. What a lovely sight.....when a prime minister of a country leaves the office like any other job. He seems so human. So normal. Adding to all this he said 'Sarah and I may go off and do charity work'. All the best to this lovely family! I ... Read More
