deeply passionate
The traditional Pashtoon people are deeply passionate about their culture and values, which are central to their identity. Honor (known as ghairat) and hospitality (melmastia) are the cornerstones of Pashtoon society. These values shape their relationships and interactions, emphasizing respect, generosity, and loyalty.
Pashtoons take immense pride in their hospitality. They believe in treating guests with the utmost respect and offering food and shelter, even to strangers. This deep-rooted tradition is considered a mark of their character and is upheld in both rural and urban settings.
Honor and loyalty are also fundamental to the Pashtoon code of conduct, known as Pashtunwali, which governs their way of life. Pashtoons are fiercely protective of their family's and tribe's honor, and loyalty to their kin and community is unwavering. This is reflected in their strong family bonds and communal living.
Their passion extends to their folklore, poetry, and music, which celebrate bravery, love, and devotion. Pashtoon men often engage in attan, a traditional dance, during celebrations and cultural events, reflecting their connection to their heritage.
Despite modern influences, the Pashtoon people maintain a deep commitment to their traditional values, which continue to guide their way of life.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

7 Books About Psychology That Are Impossible To Put Down
Psychology is not just an academic discipline—it’s a mirror held up to our inner world. It explains why we think the way we do, why we fall in love, why we sabotage ourselves, and why some habits cling to us like gravity. The best psychology books don’t feel like textbooks; they feel like conversations that change how we see ourselves and others.
