THE LOCKER ROOM CONUNDRUM

                                                  THE LOCKER ROOM CONUNDRUM  I am no longer disgusted, what I am feeling cannot be written, our vocabulary is limited, so no matter the order I place the alphabets in, there is no specific word that can describe how I feel. It makes me sick, to an extent that physical symptoms show, to an extent that for some old nightmares will return, some memories they had buried will find a way to haunt them again, to an extent that many won't be able to function normally because it hurts that much. It makes us question, what are we to them? When they look at us what do they really see? Just flesh? Objects to satisfy their lusts? A means to physical gratification? Is that all? An Instagram group ‘boy’s locker room’, where minors are discussing their unthinkable desires to rape woman. Morphed photos of girls we...

A Beautiful Future

                                                                                              WHEN ALL THIS IS OVER..... You will put down your phone, exhausted, finishing Netflix by then. And you'll walk out. The world has been changed, the one you knew, gone. Only providing the essentials for the new one to rebuild itself.  After years of being polluted by factories fuel, it has healed. You'll see colors you have never seen before, the nature will welcome you back, embracing you wholeheartedly. It will treat you delicately, gently. The busiest cities will rest finally, their streets will be filled with birds chirping and flowers blooming, and for the very first time in your life you'll hear your heartbeat not the honking of trucks. ...

Dear Manto.

THE GREAT MAVERICK Dear Manto ,  You fascinate me. You make me question the society I am part of. You are the reason I blame my glorious past. I held them responsible for all that you went through. I am proud that in a turbulent age you lived in, Manto engaged in issues, today people are not brave enough to voice! They cancelled you because they were afraid to accept what you wrote, but they could never deny the truth in your observation. They called you the foul mouthed, alcoholic, womanizer and illiterate, But you were the compassionate destroyer, the monarch of story writing, penning down the true face of human at the cost of your life and health. What they all labelled as ' vulgarity ' , was actually the birth of originality by the bright and unrestrained intellect! You could have opt for a simpler and easy way, but you choose to balance yourself on a tightrope. You were adamant to attain knowledge by your way and to process it in your distinctive style. Yo...

                           THE PRICE OF CONFLICT Lives are ruined, dreams are crushed, countless stories ultimately forgotten and people endure. In the past two decades, war either due to regional disturbances or religion has badly affected humanity across the world, The current hostility unfolding at Kashmir shocked me. I was scrolling down my Instagram feed and saw this post, " our normal has returned. Look around " It was the ultimate wake up call. After decade of conflict, we never really bother ourselves with the question how has it affected the people? The people living there? Selling tea and children going to schools ? We saw the mass oppression of people but never consider the effects on individual's life. How a mother explains 'curfew' to a 5 year old child, who just wants to play in the street with his friends ? How a teacher explains, why the school was again...

MAY IRONY NEVER DEFEAT US  There are people conquering their fears, letting go of their defeats, not allowing limitations overpower them. There is something so utterly profound about human will. It's a beautiful spectacle when people refuse to give up on their passion and keep on following their dreams regardless of the hurdles in their ways.   Close your eyes and ask yourself, what is that one thing your soul keep on searching for ? Where do you find joy ? Doing exactly what makes you happy ? When do you feel most connected with yourself and the surrounding ? Is it when you are holding a brush and playing with colors ? Is it when your feet move with the sound of the beat ? Is it when you are solving that math problem for the past two hours ? Or when you are reading and creating your own world simultaneously ? Now see, how much time are you allowing yourself with that happiness ? We keep excuses closer, and spend our lives miserably. Blaming time for nev...

A Message Of Peace And Love

    A MESSAGE OF PEACE AND LOVE from December 16, 2016 to 2019, we can't repeat the same story and wait for different outcome!                    If I say the word tragedy what comes to your mind? If I ask you to define brutality what example will you give me? If I say December 16, 2014 what's the first thing that flash in your mind? Ir's been 4 years, but the wound is still fresh. The memory is so vivid that I can take you down in one of the darkest lanes with me. I can narrate a story of cruelty written from the blood of innocent children. I remember. It's not something that you can unheard, ignore, forget. It's one of those misfortunes whose cost cannot be ever paid. The people of Peshawar has been long torn in a war that came to their doorstep without their consent. They were dragged into a web of bloodshed without their will. Death toll exceeded mentionable count. The people of that beautiful city were fo...
