A Morning That Changed Everything
A Morning That Changed Everything It was a sorrowful Friday morning, August 15, 2025, when my day began in the most unexpected way. Like any other morning, I picked up my phone and casually scrolled through my social media. On Facebook, a video appeared in my feed—posted by a local influencer known as Hamara Buner. His voice was trembling, filled with nervousness and urgency. He was warning the people of our region: “Be careful, there is a huge flood coming.”

Lessons from Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic Expedition
Leadership, Character, and Survival: Lessons from Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic Expedition One of the most inspiring stories of leadership and resilience comes from the legendary explorer Ernest Shackleton, who led one of the most daring Antarctic expeditions in the early 20th century. Among the many things that stand out about Shackleton, what impressed me most was his deep focus on character rather than just skills when selecting his team.

"The Day We Left Everything Behind"
My worst experience was in 2009, during my first year at Government Degree College, Dagar Buner. That year, the government began a military operation in our area. We were trapped inside the hostel with no way to contact our families. Everything had suddenly stopped — no classes, no transport, no communication. Everyone was worried, but I knew my family must have been suffering even more, not knowing whether I was safe or alive.

Imran Khan in Prison: A National Tragedy
Imran Khan in Prison: A National Tragedy It is truly unfortunate and heartbreaking for our country that a legendary figure like Imran Khan remains behind bars. A man who once held the office of Prime Minister of Pakistan, who brought hope to millions and inspired generations with his vision of a just, self-reliant, and corruption-free Pakistan, is now imprisoned under what many believe to be politically motivated circumstances.

The Power of Now:
The Power of Now: Living in the Present Moment In three well-known books I have read about The Power of Now, one powerful message is repeated again and again: most of us do not live in the present. Instead, we are mentally trapped in the past or the future. This habit of mentally escaping from the present moment leads to a wide range of emotional problems such as overthinking, anxiety, guilt, and depression.

The Key to Emotional Peace
Mastering the Mind: The Key to Emotional Peace Sometimes, the biggest problems in our lives are not caused by what happens to us, but by how we think about those events. We often make life more complicated by following the wrong thought patterns. Our mind has the power to either heal us or hurt us — and unfortunately, many of us are letting our own mind work against us.

Gratitude: The Antidote to Overthinking in the Light of the Qur’an
Gratitude, Overthinking, and the Forgotten Manual: The Qur'an Nowadays, when we look around, especially at the younger generation, we find that many of them are struggling deeply with overthinking, anxiety, and depression. These are no longer rare issues but rather common emotions that so many silently carry within themselves. It's heartbreaking to see bright, talented, and capable youth weighed down by mental burdens — unsure of where to find peace, clarity, or even a reason to continue.

A Wedding in Ordu: Friendship, Culture, and Unforgettable Memories
A Memorable Wedding Experience in Ordu, Turkey One of the most unforgettable experiences during my time in Turkey was attending the wedding of a close friend in the beautiful coastal city of Ordu. We became friends during our master’s studies at Near East University in North Cyprus, and though life had taken us to different cities since then, we stayed in touch. So when he invited us to his wedding with a Turkish girl, I felt both excited and curious. It wasn’t just about celebrating a friend’s big day — it was also a chance to witness a Turkish village wedding up close, something I had never experienced before.

A Day of Colors, Faith, and Skyscrapers — My Last Day in Kuala Lumpur
A Day of Colors, Faith, and Skyscrapers — My Last Day in Kuala Lumpur It was my last day in Kuala Lumpur, and I wanted to make it memorable. We decided to visit Batu Caves, a historical and cultural landmark located just outside the city. I had heard about it before, but experiencing it in person was something entirely different. Batu Caves is not just a tourist destination — it holds deep religious significance for Hindus, especially those from South India.

Exploring Malaysia: Tea Fields, Cable Cars, and Twin Towers
A Day in Malaysia I’ll Never Forget, From Genting Highlands to Twin Towers It was my second day in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a city that already felt exciting, yet unfamiliar. That morning, we woke up early with an adventurous plan: to visit Genting Highlands, a hill resort famous for its cool climate and scenic views. While most of Malaysia is hot and humid, Genting Highlands is a refreshing escape with misty air and green mountains, a sharp contrast to the weather in the capital city.

A Journey to Temerloh: Where My Roots Live
Title: A Day of Emotions and Memories in Tanjung Malim, Malaysia It was my second day in Malaysia, and I was in Kuala Lumpur, still adjusting to the beautiful and vibrant atmosphere of the city. The night before, we had already planned something special—something deeply personal. We decided to travel to Temerloh, a small town about three to four hours away from the capital, to meet my elder brother and visit the place where my grandfather, father, and uncle had spent most of their lives.

From Sarawak to Kuala Lumpur: A Journey Into Memories and Dreams
A Journey into Memories and Dreams On the third day of my journey, I boarded a flight from Sarawak to Kuala Lumpur. I was filled with excitement—not just because I was about to see Malaysia’s capital, but because of the deep emotional connection my family has with this country. For many Pakistanis, especially those from Buner, Malaysia is considered a second home. It holds a special place in our hearts, not just as a travel destination, but as a land of opportunity, sacrifice, and countless memories.
