Teenage years
The Sound of Her Silence
The first time I saw Ayesha, she did not say a word. It was a rainy afternoon. I had escaped to a half-occupied bookstore between two rusted shopfronts on a quiet street in Dhaka. I wasn't looking for anything particular—just peace. The doorbell rang softly as I entered, and there she was.

The Unspoken Words
There are moments in life when life turns around, and yet you don't realize it until later. That was one of them. It started when I first saw her at the park. The weather was mild, the kind of day that enticed you to sit in the sun and watch the world go by. I had been going to that park daily for a month, trying to find peace, trying to escape the insanity that had consumed my life. I wasn't looking for anything or anyone, then she appeared.

The Art of Living Lightly: A Symphony of Small Things
I. Grand Theatre of the Everyday Life My dear reader, the Grand Theatre of the Everyday Life is not a dreadful affair to be suffered through, nor a burdensome ledger of duties to be tallied and settled. It is a theatre — no, a carnival — splendid and tragic, absurd and luminous, unfolding in your living room, at bus stops, in the slicing of apples and the tying of shoelaces. We are all actors, unwitting but dazzling, wearing bathrobes instead of cloaks, reciting soliloquies to our pets, and dreaming revolution between morning coffee and emails. What folly to think only philosophers wear long beards and live in ivory towers! Philosophy is not reserved for musty books and ponderous monks. It is found in the boiled egg, in a late train, in the laughter shared with a stranger. To live well is to philosophize well, not with the tongue, but with the soul.

Healing Childhood Trauma
Healing from Childhood Trauma: A Journey Toward Wholeness Childhood trauma can leave lasting scars that affect an individual’s emotional, mental, and even physical well-being throughout their life. Whether it involves physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, loss, or witnessing violence, the impact of trauma in childhood is profound. The effects can range from difficulties with trust and relationships to mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, healing from childhood trauma is possible. It’s a long and often challenging journey, but with the right tools, support, and mindset, it’s a path toward recovery and emotional freedom.

Aren't Women More Than Just Wives in Punjabi Stories?
When Punjab is remembered, either pictures of gigantic, hulking men willing to fight for their motherland or the popular love stories come to our imagination. Punjabi literature can submerge both extremes of love and war it most delicately. While the literature of the wars is resistance against invaders or powers, love is also highly militant.

“Forbidden Flames”
Falling Into Temptation They had always been close. Since childhood, Ethan and Aria had shared everything—secrets, laughter, late-night conversations whispered under the covers. It had always been innocent, just warmth and comfort—until it wasn’t.

Young Man Finds Unexpected Comfort After Romantic Struggles
Sitting on his grandmother’s vibrant red sofa, 20-year-old Jayden tried to lose himself in a movie, but a heavy cloud of frustration clung to him. For four days, he’d been wrestling with a gnawing disappointment that began the previous Saturday night. After months of dating a charming, petite woman with a warm mahogany glow, he’d hoped their evening in a hotel room would mark a turning point-his first time stepping beyond virginity. At 20, he was eager, and she, an 18-year-old virgin too, had seemed just as willing. But as the moment drew near, everything unraveled.
