friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

Are You A Good Friend?
How do you react in an emergency? You deal with it, right? No matter what. You drop everything and do whatever it takes to fix whatever it is that need fixing.

“The Heart That Connects Us All”
In a world filled with constant movement—cars rushing, screens glowing, people hurrying from one place to another—it becomes easy to forget the most powerful force we carry within us: our ability to connect. This truth revealed itself to Adeel on an ordinary morning that began like any other.

The Third Option
For a long time, I believed my marriage ended because we failed. That if we had talked more, loved better, tried harder, or stayed longer in therapy, maybe we could have saved it. Marriage teaches you to internalize the blame — that if it cracks, it’s because you weren’t strong enough.

The Bakery of Second Chances
In the heart of a busy city, a small bakery named “Golden Crust” stood quietly on a corner. Its owner, Hassan, had inherited the shop from his father, who taught him that baking was more than just making bread — it was a way to nurture, to connect, and sometimes, to heal.

“When Hearts Remember: The Quiet Power of Everyday Humanity”
Some stories don’t begin with heroes, dramatic events, or unforgettable victories. Some begin with the quiet hum of ordinary life—where humanity reveals itself in the smallest, most unexpected ways. That is exactly where Adeel’s story begins.

Scorpio Pig. . Top Story - November 2025.
When coming up with a title for this, I came to the brilliant realisation that I am a Scorpio Pig. A classic and undisputable Scorpio (though the horoscope vs reality debate lives on) and a 1995 year of the pig baby. I’ve always liked being a Scorpio, but the pig thing took a minute. A couple years ago my friend took me micro-pig walking for my birthday, did you know pigs have a hierarchy system? Seriously. They take rankings very seriously, and as my pig Mr Darcy was pushed out the way by his superior, I found out just how serious it was.

“Threads of Humanity: The Power That Connects Us All”
In a world that moves faster every year, it’s easy to feel like we’re drifting apart. Screens replace conversations, deadlines push us past each other, and the quiet moments of connection seem fewer than they once were. Yet, beneath the noise and rush of daily life, one truth remains unchanged: we are all connected by the simple, powerful thread of being human. This story begins on an ordinary Tuesday — the kind most people forget — but for one neighborhood, it became the day that reminded everyone what humanity truly means.

The Silent Garden
In the quiet town of Afsanaabad, there was a small public garden known as Nafees Park. Old wooden benches, a narrow walking path, and a fountain that barely worked — nothing special, yet the garden held a warmth that made people visit after long days.

The Old Library
In the middle of a crowded, noisy city, there was a library that few people visited. Its walls were lined with books from floor to ceiling, many with cracked spines and yellowed pages. Dust lingered in the corners, and the smell of old paper mixed with the faint scent of lavender that the librarian, Mr. Naveed, always carried.

The Corner Cafe
In the heart of a bustling city, where honking cars and hurried footsteps never seemed to stop, there was a small café at the corner of two streets called “Morning Light.” It was modest — a few wooden tables, a counter polished to a warm glow, and a window overlooking the crowded intersection. But for those who entered, it felt like a haven.

What You’ve Heard About Me Is Wrong
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I believe communication is the only way to clear the air and keep things honest.
