THE LOVE WITH FAMILY. Content Warning.
As I sat around the dinner table with my family, surrounded by the warm glow of candies and the delicious aroma of homemade cooking, I felt a deep sense of gratitude and love for people who had been my rock throughout the years. My family had always been there for me, through thick and thin, and I knew that I could count on them no metter what.

The Kneeling Mother
The sun had not yet risen over the city of Kobe, Japan, when the earth began to tremble. It started as a low rumble, like a distant thunder, and then quickly escalated into a violent roar. Buildings swayed like trees in a storm, glass shattered, screams filled the air, and within moments, everything turned into dust and chaos.

Hungry River
Mera naam Zayden hai. Main ab teen saal ka hoon. Mujhe chizoun par chadhai karna bohot pasand hai — kursi, table, bed, aur sabse zyada apni almari. Jab main almari par chadhta hoon, mujhe lagta hai main Spider-Man hoon. Woh mera favourite hero hai. Shayad isliye bhi chadhta hoon, kyunki us waqt meri mama mujhe dekhti hain.

Cities Without People
Today I have some amazing to discuss, so lets start..... Cities are usually thought of as bustling centers of commerce, culture, and community. Streets echo with footsteps, markets hum with trade, and lights burn late into the night. Yet across the globe, there exist cities where the lights are dark, the buildings stand silent, and the wind moves through abandoned streets like an unseen ghost. These ghost towns—once full of life—stand as haunting reminders of economic shifts, environmental disasters, and human migration. In the post-industrial world, their presence raises pressing questions about progress, sustainability, and the fragility of urban life.

"Smiling Faces, Silent Cries: The Battle No One Sees"
Not Him. Not Now. It was supposed to be a season of renewal. A fresh start. New city, new home, new possibilities. We had packed our lives into boxes labeled with sharpies — “Kitchen,” “Books,” “Toys,” and the infamous “Misc.” It was chaotic, but we were smiling. Tired, sure. But hopeful. ☀️

The Robot Wife
Two Wives and No Peace Ahmed had been married twice. The first wife was a non-stop critic — from his socks to his soul, nothing escaped her sharp tongue. The second one barely spoke, and when she did, it was just to say, “Fine.” Both marriages ended in disaster. Either he was too complicated to understand, or perhaps, he never tried to understand anyone at all.

Nehemiah's Sunshine
Nehemiah’s Sunshine Nehemiah wasn’t the kind of boy you noticed right away. He wasn’t loud. Didn’t run with the wild kids or throw his head back laughing in the corridors. He was quiet—observant. The type who sat with his chin tucked, one shoelace always undone, sketching strange, beautiful things in the corners of his notebooks.

Adolf Hitler: The Dual Facade of a Tyrant
So I am to bring you some historical facts... Adolf Hitler remains one of the most studied and reviled figures in modern history. Rising from obscurity to become the dictator of Nazi Germany, Hitler's legacy is marked by extreme nationalism, mass genocide, and catastrophic war. Yet behind the propaganda, public speeches, and photographs lies a man whose complex character fused calculated charisma with monstrous cruelty. To understand Hitler's real character, one must examine not only his actions, but also the psychological and ideological foundations that shaped them.

Spreading Islamophobia Online
They say Islam oppresses women. That Sharia is cruel. That Islamic punishments are barbaric. But these claims are rarely examined in the light of truth. The rights Islam gave to women—centuries before any modern constitution—are hardly ever acknowledged. Islam established a woman’s right to inherit, own property, seek knowledge, and live with dignity and safety. These rights were not gifts of the West or of liberal movements, but divine legislation. Still, this history is deliberately hidden or distorted.
