The Last Goodbye
The village of Darban was still asleep under a heavy winter fog when seven-year-old Ahmed opened his eyes. The sound of the azaan echoed through the cold air, and the morning light crept lazily through the cracks of their mud house. Ahmed sat up, pulled his thin shawl around his tiny shoulders, and looked toward the wooden door where his father’s suitcase rested.

The Phone That Rang for Years
There was a phone booth that stood silently on the edge of a cliff in a small coastal town. It was unlike any other booth—no wires, no working line, and no dial tone. The paint was chipped, the receiver slightly cracked, and the glass panels fogged from the salty ocean breeze. Yet people came. They came in the rain, in the snow, in the golden light of sunset.

The Lamp in My Father’s Room

Whispers of the Green Abyss
The sky was still dark when Ayaan stepped into the jungle. A heavy mist curled low over the forest floor, cloaking twisted roots and broken branches. Ancient trees stood like silent watchers, their thick trunks draped in moss and mystery. Each breath he took carried the scent of damp earth and wildness—a scent of something older than time.

The Lion’s Awakening
In the early days of Islam, when the believers were few and oppressed, the Muslims in Makkah lived in fear of the Quraysh. Among the most feared men in Makkah was Umar ibn al-Khattab — tall, strong, and fierce in both intellect and combat.

The Birth of a Gentleman's Game
Long before roaring stadiums, million-dollar contracts, and international rivalries, cricket began as a humble children’s game played in the quiet countryside of southern England. The story of cricket’s invention is not one of grand design, but rather of a game that slowly shaped itself through time, guided by the people who loved it.

The Story Behind the Invention of Tea
In the lush mountains of ancient China, around 2737 BCE, Emperor Shen Nong was no ordinary ruler. A scholar, herbalist, and scientist by nature, he believed that every leaf, root, and seed had a purpose. His empire flourished not only through conquest but through knowledge—especially of nature's remedies.
