The Swing Still Hangs in the Garden.
The old garden behind my childhood home is silent now. The grass grows wild, the flowers bloom without anyone appreciating them, and the color of the fence has faded in years of sun and rain. But one thing remains — the swing.

A Village’s Journey
The village of Noorabad was not on any map that mattered. Tucked deep in the dry belly of the land, it was a place time had forgotten. Cracked earth stretched for miles, the fields barren, the air thick with silence. The villagers had grown used to waiting — waiting for rain, for help, for a miracle.

SNAFU!
I feel like this is old territory, but that it must be reviewed. I recently discovered a podcast hosted by Ed Helms called “SNAFU”. For those of you who are not familiar with this particular acronym, it means “Situation Normal – All Fucked Up”.

Prisoner Number 804
"Prisoner Number 804" (Qaidi Number 804) is a term that has been extensively discussed in Pakistan, particularly within political circles and on social media. This number is associated with former Prime Minister Imran Khan during his imprisonment in Adiala Jail. However, it's not entirely clear whether this was his actual prisoner number or if it was adopted as a symbolic identifier by his supporters to draw attention to his incarceration. This number has been interpreted in various ways: * Political Identity: Imran Khan's supporters use it as a form of protest against his imprisonment and the treatment he received. * Symbolic Significance: It has become a means to raise questions about the plight of a prisoner in Pakistan's political landscape and the justice system.
