When the Rain Remembers
It was one of those evenings when the sky feels heavier than usual, as if it’s carrying the weight of every unsaid word, every forgotten promise. The air had turned damp, scented with that earthy fragrance that always comes before rain. People hurried past me with umbrellas in hand, looking for shelter, but I slowed down. Something in the air told me that this rain wasn’t just ordinary rain—it was a message, a mirror, maybe even a confession.

When I Sat Beside My Uncle’s Bed
The room was quiet that night. Too quiet. The kind of silence that doesn’t just sit in the air but presses against your chest, making it hard to breathe. A small lamp glowed faintly in the corner, and the hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound that broke the stillness.

The Street I Grew Up On
The first thing I noticed when I walked back into my old street was the silence. It wasn’t the silence of peace, but of absence. The kind of silence that feels like a missing piece in a song you once knew by heart. The narrow road where our laughter used to echo now felt smaller, heavier, almost like it had aged with me.

The Night I Couldn’t Sleep
Some nights carry a weight you cannot explain. They arrive silently, and yet they feel louder than the day itself. That night was one of them—a night when sleep abandoned me, leaving me alone with a restless heart and the echo of memories I thought I had left behind.

Unsent, Unforgotten
We all have sentences inside us that were never spoken. Words that sat at the edge of our lips, waiting for courage, waiting for the right time—a time that never came. For me, those words weren’t just sentences. They were an entire letter.

When Silence Follows You
Being late never used to bother me. But today, it feels heavier than bad timing—it feels like fate. The university library stretches before me, polished tiles gleaming under harsh fluorescent lights. Every sound seems amplified. My shoes scuff against the floor. My breath bounces back at me. Even the faint creak of a shelf seems to shout in the emptiness. In this antiseptic quiet, I am listening. Straining. Waiting. Because here, silence isn’t safety. Silence is a trap.

Habits I’m Not Buying Into (As a Human, Not a Robot)
Being human in 2025 sometimes feels like a full-time job. Every scroll on Instagram or LinkedIn greets you with another “life hack” that promises success, wealth, and inner peace—if only you’d wake up at 5 a.m., drink green smoothies, and train for a marathon in your spare time. Productivity gurus with million-dollar smiles will happily sell you their routines, while self-help books insist that if you’re not hustling, you’re falling behind.

🌸 Hansa Babar: The Little Girl Who Belonged to Love
It was an ordinary afternoon when I walked into a familiar courtyard in Shergarh, a town not far from Mardan. The grass was soft beneath my feet, the flowers alive with color. And there, standing between the blossoms, was a little girl who seemed to light up the entire garden.

The Mirror of My Days
The Mirror of My Days Last night, I stood in front of the mirror longer than usual. I wasn’t fixing my hair or adjusting my clothes; I was simply staring. At first, I saw the usual reflection — tired eyes, unshaven stubble, skin carrying the marks of sleepless nights. But then, as the seconds stretched on, I began to see more than a face. The mirror had turned into a storyteller, showing me flashes of my life — who I was, who I became, and who I might still be.
