I Published a Story Online and Thought No One Would Read It
I still remember the moment I clicked “Publish.” It was 2:16 a.m., and my cursor hovered over that button for what felt like forever. My heart raced—not from fear exactly, but from the kind of vulnerability that comes when you bare a piece of your soul to a silent crowd.

Memories - part 2
A simple thought crossed my mind at that moment. I thought I’d jot it down somewhere. The memories I talked about in my previous writing piece, if you read it, I mentioned some "lost memories". If put together plainly - we are humans. As humans, from the very moment we are born, we see things, we hear things, we learn what is taught to us and we live. In the entire process whatever life has thrown at us or in other words, "taught us" or made us who we are now, or who we have grown to be - those moments or so-called life lessons become quite valuable to us. We even end up calling them “cherished memories”. But with everything, somewhere along the way, each moment, each day, the things we do, or the way we lived a day, or a month, or a year, with time we end up losing most of the memories. It kind of fades away with time. We aren’t invincible neither are our brains. We aren’t machines. We possibly can't always remember every single thing we did in our lives.

The Art of Filming the Voice. AI-Generated.
Capturing the essence of a vocal performance on camera is both an art and a science in the fields of music and film. It calls for a painstaking fusion of technical know-how, creative instinct, and a profound comprehension of the expressive and auditory potential of the human voice. When a visual presentation captures a singer's intensity, vulnerability, and energy so well that viewers feel as though they are in the room, experiencing the performance in real time, the expression " The Art of Filming the Voice" is frequently uttered. This article explores the essential components of a well-shot vocal performance, including lighting, cinematography, direction, sound design, and editing. To show how these elements combine to produce experiences that will never be forgotten, we will also examine a few well-known examples.

"Zama Nang, Zama Wafa"
In the heart of the Spin Ghar mountains, where the snow caps sparkle under the golden Afghan sun, a young Pashtun named Tariq Gul was born into the proud Mohmand tribe. From his earliest days, Tariq was raised under the towering shadows of tradition—he was taught the values of nang (honor), wafa (loyalty), sabr (patience), and melmastia (hospitality).

The AI Winter
Introduction: ‎From Promise to Disappointment ‎ ‎As the 1970s began, Artificial Intelligence seemed full of promise. The 1960s had witnessed exciting progress — programs could solve puzzles, play games, and carry on simple conversations. Researchers confidently predicted that machines would soon rival human intelligence. But instead of a breakthrough, the next decade brought frustration. AI entered a period known as the “AI Winter,” a time marked by disillusionment, criticism, and a significant drop in funding. It became clear that the road to real intelligence was longer and more difficult than anyone had expected. ‎ ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎1. The Limitations of Symbolic AI ‎ ‎Most AI research in the 60s and early 70s focused on symbolic reasoning, where knowledge was encoded in the form of rules and logic. These systems worked well in highly structured environments but struggled with complexity, ambiguity, and common sense — things humans navigate naturally. ‎ ‎For example, early language-processing systems like ELIZA could simulate conversation, but they couldn’t actually understand context or meaning. Programs failed when faced with unpredictable input or real-world tasks. AI could play a game of checkers, but it couldn’t handle something as “simple” as recognizing objects in a messy kitchen. ‎ ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎2. The Lighthill Report (1973): ‎ ‎A Major Blow in the UK ‎In 1973, British mathematician Sir James Lighthill published a critical report on AI research in the UK. Known as the Lighthill Report, it concluded that AI had failed to live up to its promises, especially in handling “real-world” problems. He argued that only narrow, specific tasks showed progress, and general intelligence was far from reach. ‎ ‎The result? The British government slashed funding for AI programs, closing down many research projects. This sent a chilling message to researchers around the world. ‎ ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎3. Trouble in the U.S. Too: ‎ ‎DARPA’s Growing Frustration ‎In the United States, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had been a major funder of AI research. Initially enthusiastic, DARPA invested heavily in natural language understanding systems like SHRDLU and Speech Understanding Research (SUR). ‎ ‎However, by the mid-1970s, the results did not match expectations. The systems were too slow, required expensive hardware, and couldn’t handle tasks outside narrow domains. DARPA began to lose patience and pulled back on funding, particularly for projects that failed to deliver practical military or commercial applications. ‎ ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎4. The Hardware Problem: ‎ ‎Limits of Computing Power ‎AI in the 1970s also suffered from hardware limitations. Computers were still expensive, slow, and had limited memory. While humans could process complex sensory input in real time, machines struggled with even simple tasks like image recognition or voice analysis. The dream of building machines that could match human reasoning hit a wall — not just because of flawed algorithms, but also because the technology wasn’t ready. ‎ ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎5. A Divided AI Community ‎ ‎During this period, the AI research community became divided between two approaches. On one side were the symbolic AI researchers, who focused on logic and rules. On the other side were scientists exploring neural networks and machine learning — methods inspired by the human brain. ‎ ‎Unfortunately, neural networks were also struggling at the time. A 1969 book by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert, Perceptrons, showed the limitations of early neural nets. As a result, funding and interest in this area nearly vanished for over a decade. ‎ ‎ ‎--- ‎ ‎Conclusion: ‎ ‎ A Setback, Not a Defeat ‎The 1970s AI Winter was a humbling time. Overpromising, underdelivering, and technological limits forced a hard reset on the field. Many researchers left AI entirely, and public interest faded. But this wasn’t the end — rather, it was a necessary cooling-off period. AI needed time to grow, rethink its direction, and wait for technology to catch up. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎---

Art as Sustenance: How Creativity Nourishes the Human Spirit
Art is not just employed as an outlet for expression but also as a learning and development platform. Children who learn art at an early age in life gain more problem-solving skill, emotional intelligence, and mental growth. Producing or enjoying art has been found to create curiosity, critical thinking, and self-awareness. Students in arts education schools perform better in other aspects of schooling as well, particularly reading and math, and are more eager to learn overall. Art unifies learning whole—it engages mind, body, and feeling in a manner that relatively few other subjects can.
