The Blood on the Border: Remembering the Martyrs of Mir Ali
On June 28, 2025, the silence of a summer morning was shattered by a deafening blast in Mir Ali — a region that has seen too much, bled too long, and cried too often. A suicide bomber, heartless and calculated, rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into a convoy of Pakistani security forces near a roadside checkpoint.

When I Came to My New Home - I Found Myself on the Night of June 22nd Like a Full Moon and a Half Sun
I still remember the moment I turned the key to my new home. It was a strange feeling—excitement and fear woven together like threads in an old tapestry. The house was centuries old, perched on the edge of a quiet forest, with ivy climbing the weathered stone walls and windows that looked out on nothing but shadows. I had bought it in a hurry, desperate for a change after a messy breakup and a job loss. It was supposed to be a fresh start.

The Role of Money in Shaping Parenting Styles and Child Behavior
The Role of Money in Shaping Parenting Styles and Child Behavior By Ali Asad Ullah Money is more than just a tool for buying necessities; it profoundly influences how parents raise their children and how those children develop behaviors and attitudes. The availability—or lack—of financial resources often shapes parenting styles, which in turn have lasting impacts on a child’s emotional well-being, social skills, and future success.

Father
The early morning sun peeked over the edge of the small village rooftops, casting long golden shadows across the narrow mud path. In one of the quieter corners of the village, Ravi adjusted the old, fraying strap of his bicycle and looked back at the sleeping house. A small handprint was still visible on his shirt from his son’s sleepy hug last night. He smiled faintly, brushed the dust off his trousers, and pedaled toward the city.

Mother
The rain fell gently against the windowpane, rhythmic and soothing, like a lullaby whispered by the skies. The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the heart monitor and the occasional murmur of nurses walking by. Inside, Meera lay still, one hand on her belly, the other gently curled beside her pillow. Her eyes were closed, but she was not asleep. She was remembering.

Dancing Through Time: The Day Nana Remembered Joy
In a quiet neighborhood where the trees whispered with the wind and birds made symphonies out of silence, lived Nana—a woman of gentle strength and timeless kindness. To most of the world, she was just another elderly lady with silver hair and a soft laugh. But to her family, she was the heartbeat of generations.

Imperfections
Amberlyn holds the dusty box in her trembling hands. The smell of tattoo ink still lingering on her clothes overpowers her and she finds herself leaning into that smell, hoping it will ground her. She has always been a person of confidence; even when unsure of her next move, she knew that whatever path she chose, there would be no doubt in her decision. But now it feels as though the ground beneath her is unsteady, like being in the center of an earthquake. She rocks back and forth on the heels of her shoes and paces the walls of her New York City apartment, unable to sit still. She stares at those same walls, the gigantic paintings from her favorite artists fill the space, a mural of magnificence. She recites the artists from memory, then the style they used. She fixes her gaze on her favorite and is struck by its beauty as if it’s her first time seeing it. The mirage of colors pop out at her, their elegance calling her name. She tries to envision a world where her art is framed in someone else’s shitty apartment and smiles to herself, because above all else: she craves a space where her passion can live. The box, carefully placed on the coffee table, entices her and she attempts to take a deep breath, but can’t quite remember how. The oxygen her body searches for gets lost in a place of uncertainty. She puts her hand to her heart without thinking, unsure of what to do next. Ever since she was a child, she’s stood on her own two feet, able to solve every obstacle the world threw at her; she did this with pride. She has never needed anyone, but there is one person she’s always wanted—still wants. One person she loves more than anyone. Loved. Her grandmother. As she thinks of her, she can feel her entire body ache at the absence of her. She feels she’s being pulled toward where her grandmother should be. Like gravity. Nothing in her being has accepted or even understood the loss. There’s always a moment before she wakes when she forgets she has to live in a world without the person who kept her whole. Like her brain cannot comprehend that she no longer adds to the space of Amerlyn’s world. She still goes to call her when she’s created something new, or a client leaves a good tip. At random moments, the paralyzing agony of that loss punches her in the chest, and she feels as though her heart’s exploding from the emptiness. In those moments, she reaches for her grandmother to hold her up, like she always did, and has to endure losing her all over again. She squeezes her eyes shut so tightly that she sees colors. Her grandmother loved colors, so much so that she could never choose a favorite. When she found the box containing her grandmother’s old letters, she was unsure if she would be able to read the words she’d written, knowing that those words were all that was left of her. But she can barely breathe, she misses her so much, and she needs to hear her if only the echo of her.

Two Minds, One World: A Generation Apart
The city buzzed with neon light and silent drones. Tall skyscrapers pierced the twilight, their glass facades shimmering with holographic billboards advertising everything from virtual vacations to AI-enhanced education. On a terrace café overlooking this vibrant metropolis, two figures sat across from each other—a young man and an old man—each shaped by vastly different eras.
