Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
Silent Lessons
When a Forgotten Book Found Me There are moments in life when you feel as if the universe is quietly nudging you toward something you had ignored for too long. For me, that nudge came in the shape of a thin, dust-covered book sitting silently on my family’s bookshelf—Ya Khuda by Qudratullah Shahab.

The Street I Grew Up On
The first thing I noticed when I walked back into my old street was the silence. It wasn’t the silence of peace, but of absence. The kind of silence that feels like a missing piece in a song you once knew by heart. The narrow road where our laughter used to echo now felt smaller, heavier, almost like it had aged with me.

The Polished Mask of Social Media
The Digital Mirror Open any social media feed today, and you’ll see a flood of polished lives: professionals who look endlessly respectful, activists who share every noble cause, and friends who post touching videos of rescuing animals or feeding the poor. At first glance, it looks like the world has never been kinder.

The Mirror of My Days
The Mirror of My Days Last night, I stood in front of the mirror longer than usual. I wasn’t fixing my hair or adjusting my clothes; I was simply staring. At first, I saw the usual reflection — tired eyes, unshaven stubble, skin carrying the marks of sleepless nights. But then, as the seconds stretched on, I began to see more than a face. The mirror had turned into a storyteller, showing me flashes of my life — who I was, who I became, and who I might still be.

"Mental Math Mastery"
Mathematics is often seen as a subject of rules, formulas, and memorization. But behind the numbers lies a powerful tool that can sharpen the mind, boost confidence, and even improve daily life: mental math. Mastering mental math is not about showing off fancy tricks—it’s about training the brain to think faster, work smarter, and stay sharp in every situation.

War Is Not the Solution to Every Problem
History is filled with stories of kingdoms rising and falling, of nations clashing over borders, power, and pride. And yet, despite centuries of bloodshed, one truth remains unchanged: war has never been the ultimate solution to humanity’s problems. It has redrawn maps, shifted power, and rewritten history books, but it has never healed hearts or built lasting peace.

We Are Not the Same as We Were, Are We?
There was a time—not too long ago—when life glowed with a different kind of warmth. Families gathered around dinner tables, not just to eat but to share stories, laughter, and even the quiet comfort of being together. Friends spent long afternoons in gossip, playful arguments, and silly mistakes that became unforgettable memories. Children filled the streets and fields, playing games until the sun dipped below the horizon. Villages were alive with the music of conversations, celebrations, and the simple joy of belonging.

My First Volunteer Experience
My First Volunteer Experience I had always admired people who volunteered. To me, they seemed like superheroes—quiet, selfless, and unstoppable. But I had never actually stepped into that world myself. That all changed last summer, when a simple choice turned into a day I’ll never forget.

A Letter I Never Sent, Until Now
A Letter I Never Sent, Until Now Words bottled up for too long finally find their way out There are some words we carry with us for years—unspoken thoughts that linger in the back of our minds, heavy and unfinished. For me, those words lived in a letter I wrote a long time ago. I folded it neatly, tucked it away in a drawer, and told myself I would send it one day. But “one day” never seemed to come.

How I Balance My Studies and Job in Islamabad at 24
Life at 24 is not as easy as it looks from the outside. People often imagine this age as a golden chapter filled with freedom, energy, and endless possibilities. But for me—and for many young people in Pakistan—it is also a time of responsibility, sleepless nights, and silent battles.
