As I sit here in the park, I watch people walk by and smile at one another. I watch the kids play tag and have a good time. I even watch the birds’ chirp and fly about. All this while, what am I doing? I am just sitting here, so still and quiet. I had become quiet over the past few months, because of many different reasons. I had lost my will to talk and even more, I had lost my will to smile and be happy. I was never the negative pessimist, but circumstances had forced me to become such way and lose my smile and happiness. My heart wasn’t happy and neither did I ever feel like smiling. People around me tried their best to cheer me up, but there was this hollow feeling inside me always. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but mine that I was in such a state. It wasn’t even the fault of the person, because of which I had lost faith in people. It was purely my fault, because I had allowed myself to sink to such depths of sorrow and resentment that I had lost my way back to happiness and cheerf...

It is a shameful occurrence and nothing else can be said about it. At least 75 people have been killed and over 100 have been injured. What was their fault? Why were they targeted? Their only crime was that they were Christians, in a country called Pakistan. Whenever something like this happens, I feel slightly ashamed at calling myself a Pakistani.  Be it the massacre of Ahmadis, Shia genocide or in general terrorist activity in the country, it all is a reason to be shameful. Pakistan is a great country, but we have to get rid of the menace that is ripping our society and country apart. How much more blood is going to be spilled before the government realizes this?    TTP are barbarians who don’t want peace. They have proved that by showing disinterest in the proposed peace talks by the government – backed by parties such as PTI. First they killed mercilessly, Army personnel in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and now attacked a church in Peshawar. Their justification for thi...

Where does Psychology come from? What is Psychology and how does it relate to Literature? Before the answer to that, the meaning of Psychology will be explained. Psychology is the study of the mind and how it thinks; in a nut shell. There’s basically two types of Psychology; one is the research in Psychology and the other is the applied part of Psychology. One where we think about the behaviour of the mind and one where we then apply that knowledge to solve different problems and confusions. The critical thing over here is the ‘thinking’ aspect. In Psychology, we think about the mind, in order to gain knowledge about the mind. We investigate the mind’s behaviour; which we term it Cognition. This should give a hint to where the subject and art of Psychology comes from? Psychology is directly linked to a bigger and more vast subject, Philosophy. There’s two parts to Psychology. It comes from Biology and Philosophy. We think about the mind/brain and then we focus on the parts of the br...

Kabhi jhankho meri ankhoun mai, Tumhe kya nazar ata hai? Shayed pyar dikhe un mai, Ya ek bhuje dil ki kahani. Bhol chuke they hum Aisha, Pyar jaisi cheez bhi hoti hai. Us ke dye ghamou ne dubou diya, Dil ne pyar mohabbat ko thukra diya. Na hi kisi cheez mai dil lagta tha, Na muskurahat chehre pe ati thi. Bus ghum le kar bethey they, Aur absar mai shabnum rehti thi. Phir itefaq se ek din mulaqat hui, Ek ajnabi se beikhteyar baat hui. Ashkoun ko jitna girna tha gir gaye, Hum bazm-e-dillagi ke agey haar gaye.

To be honest, this has been delayed quite a bit! I was meant to write this review much earlier, but never got the time to get round to it. Cheesecake Factory isn't a posh formal dine-in affair in America and people don't hold it in much esteem, but boy has Al Shaya group changed all of that! Al Shaya group is the company which holds the franchise of Cheesecake Factory, Shake Shack and iHOP in UAE. The group has brought all of the restaurants to Dubai and people love it. All three of those restaurants happen to have become on of my favourite places to go to, for food. iHOP for amazing breakfast, Shake Shack for a quick bite of juicy and tender burger and Cheesecake Factory, well... Cheesecake Factory has become my favourite formal dine-in restaurant and the best part, it isn't even situated in a posh hotel! It is in Mall of the Emirates! The Cheesecake Factory's concept for Dubai/UAE has completely been revamped. Instead of a mediocre place you go to for food and ...

Have been using Twitter from the past 3 years or so and one thing that I have noticed is, the usage and Twitter environment has changed and keeps evolving/changing. Back in the good old days - yes, I can reminisce at least, about the good days - there were far less teenagers on Twitter and in general, far less people. Less people knew about it, everyone followed each other and a more important point, people 'actually' followed each other. What do I mean by this? Well, people actually knew what you were up to, you actually knew what the other person was up to and talked. Less was more, back then. No bullshit was tolerated and it was a clean decent environment. As more and more people started joining Twitter, it has to a certain extent - let us say, become less uncivilized. There are so many teenagers, although I don't have anything against teenagers joining Twitter - just that there's more things related to teenagers and the 'youth' that have surfaced upon Twi...
