For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Dear Santa
Dear Santa, I know that you love delivering millions of presents to children and adults across the world, and I love you for that, thank you. However, this year, I have many wishes; though I do not wish for Christmas presents. Christmas presents are nice, but my heart is bigger than 'just being nice.

Not the Canada I remember...
Since long before Covid 19 hit our nation, our Government of Canada has continually failed us or at the very least failed to tell us the truth. Canada is known for being a safe, opportunist country where equality reigns and all of our citizens are supportive of one another. We are known for having an excellent healthcare system offering most free public healthcare. Unfortunately when the pandemic hit and for the years to follow so much attention had been drawn to how corrupted and dangerous our political system encapsulates. It shined a bright light on the gravity of their roles as politicians. It highlighted how their decisions could easily have a negative ripple effect that could easily damage or destroy parts of our society. I’m not saying that they should have handled the pandemic differently because truthfully I believe they did what they could with the very limited information on hand. It was a very unprecedented time not just in Canada, but across the world. However, the majority of other decisions that they made, and decisions that are continuing to be made today are the issue. They need to collectively sit back and review their choices thus far, and try to identify what went wrong, so that going forward they could back their choices with integrity and honor. In my experience, politics is a very juvenile, egotistical popularity contest that allows people in power to make the same mistakes over and over again. It allows our leaders to fail us time and time again, failing consistently to honor the positions and the power they carry. Not all politicians are bad, and I do believe there are some that lead because they want to, not for themselves but for our society. The issue is that the good ones are the minority, and they get drowned out in almost every headline.

2022 in Retrospect
2022 has been an interesting year. That's it, that's a look back on 2022. But there's way more than that. We have watched helplessly as interest rates have increased, while the cost of gas, food, and other basic goods have gone up in price. Daily, there are headlines warning us of a looming recession. I hope it is only that and not another financial crisis. The low turnouts at the Black Friday sales might ultimately be the clue we all needed. I think we might be finally choosing family over stuff.

Hazrat Syed shah jahangir peeran
Hazrath Syed Shah Jahangir peeran was a real brother to Syed Shah Burhanuddin. Both Hazrats came from Arabia. Their lineage can be traced back to Banu Hashim, a noble family of Mohammed (PBUH). They came to spread the message from the holy prophet Mohammed Allahu alaihi wi salam. They arrived in Delhi first, then moved on to Deccan where they stayed near MahbubNagar, a shadnagar village.

I'm Not Trying to Convince You
Let’s start with some basic semantics before wading into the fray. I’m not an atheist or a non-believer. I believe in many things including an often innate propensity for human compassion and the persuasive power of freshly baked cookies. The term atheist is kind of ridiculous as it means believing that something that can’t be seen or touched or heard doesn’t exist (wait, what?).

Thinking of Death on a Sunny Day
I always thought that life would make sense one day. With time I was sure I’d come to see what it all meant, what I learned, and what words of wisdom I could impart to others to make easier their paths as though I were an early explorer of this thing called life, bushwhacking through time. I waited for the big aha moment.

The days of silent genius
Chapter 1 The Days of Silent Genius . 27th November, 1999 "Colours seemed brighter that morning. The sky was bluer, the tiny blades of grass donned an immaculate shade of green and the white gown that clung loosely to my shoulders seemed to be woven entirely of early winter snow. The whole world seemed a painting done by an artist with a penchant for colourful exaggeration. I sat there in the middle of it, trying my best to fit in to the magical space enveloping me--"

to copy Zadie Smith (or why do we write?)
In Kyiv, books are suddenly everything everywhere all at once. You walk through a familiar area, and your eyes accidentally trip over a new bookshop in place of an old eatery the name and look of which you don’t remember.

How To Accept That You Have Something to Offer the World.
I promise to try to make this a feel-good article in the end. It is not my intention to rustle feathers or flare panic attacks, but let’s be real for a second; We are in a day and age when humans live much longer than ever before, and likely longer than intended. This is a good thing! but it can also lead to loss of perspective.
