I Thought I Was Just Tired — Turns Out, I Wasn’t Sleeping Right
I Thought I Was Just Tired — Turns Out, I Wasn’t Sleeping Right For months, I blamed everything on being tired. Work felt harder. I was snapping at people. I kept forgetting little things. But I was sleeping 7–8 hours every night, so I thought, “Maybe I’m just stressed.”

Oslo Accords
Oslo Accords: Another Chapter in the Deception of the Palestinians September 13, 1993. A much-discussed moment in the history of world politics was captured on the White House lawn: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat shaking hands, with US President Bill Clinton standing in between. Cameras flashed all around, media cheers, and congratulatory messages poured in from major capitals around the world. Everyone was saying—a new era of peace had begun in the Middle East. But what was not visible was the reality behind the scenes of this agreement—a clever, cunning, and ruthless political deception that the Palestinians were the victims of.

Stale Mate
Dear my friend, who needs to listen to my every word. I am done. I’ve finally had enough of it all. Now is the time to pack it all in because I can’t stomach it anymore. For hours I wait to be greeted and yet you pay me no attention. The moment I wake I am full of energy, ready to start the day and yet you have no time for me. Why bother in the first place? Do you even bother to look at me?

India and Pakistan
India and Pakistan—though two neighboring states—have always had hostile, suspicious, and conflicting relations. Since the bloody chapter of the partition of 1947, these two states have been locked in a perpetual cold war, whether behind the scenes of diplomatic negotiations or on the open battlefield. But Pakistan's presence in modern Indian politics is often more strategic than real; India's political leadership often achieves ulterior motives by portraying Pakistan not just as a rival, but as a formidable enemy. And one of the hidden hands that works very subtly in this process is false flag operations—that is, organizing attacks themselves and blaming them on the enemy.

Islam believes that non-Muslims are 'kafirs' and must be hated by all.
Allegation: Islam believes that non-Muslims are ‘kafirs’ and that all of them should be hated. The basis of this allegation is the use of the word ‘kafir’ in Islam and certain provisions regarding relations with non-Muslims, which are often misinterpreted and used by Islamophobic groups for propaganda purposes. They say that since Islam calls non-Muslims ‘kafirs’, this religion spreads hatred, malice and intolerance.

Echoes of the Unheard
In a dimly lit orphanage nestled at the edge of a quiet town, eight-year-old Ayaan stared out of a cracked window, his small fingers tracing the fog on the glass. The world outside was cold, but not colder than the silence within. The walls of St. Mercy’s Home for Children had long forgotten the sound of laughter. They only echoed footsteps, whispered sobs, and the occasional scolding of Miss D'Souza, the matron with tired eyes and a heart guarded by years of pain.

A Prophet on the Throne of Patience: The Story of Prophet Ayyub (AS)
As the sun sets in the sky, the shadows of the mountains fall on the valley below, the once prosperous town is silent today. The trees stand as if they are witnesses to a history—of a prophet who lost everything, but did not lose faith; who did not cry in his sorrow, but remained grateful to Allah at every moment.

Resigning From the Role I Never Applied For
Dear Friends, Acquaintances, and Emotional Freeloaders: After much soul-searching, three sleepless nights, a half bottle of Cabernet, and one highly unnecessary loop of Whitney Houston’s “Greatest Love of All”, I, Anthony, am officially and unequivocally resigning from my unofficial, unpaid, and unappreciated position as Everyone’s Reliable Rock, Personal Therapist, Emergency Lifeguard, Calendar Adjuster, and Default Cheerleader.

I Left Everything Behind to Start Over—And It Was the Best Decision of My Life
There comes a moment in life when you look around and wonder, “Is this really it?” I had a job that paid well, a partner everyone thought was perfect for me, and an apartment in the city most people would envy. But every morning, I woke up with a tightness in my chest and a weight I couldn’t explain. Smiles felt forced. Conversations felt empty. And somewhere in the background of my own life, I had gone missing.

Kindle Your Spark
In a world that often urges us to look outward for validation, inspiration, and success, it's easy to forget that the most powerful source of light exists within us. We scroll through endless feeds for motivation, chase approval from others, and search far and wide for signs that we are on the right path. But what if the spark you're seeking is already burning inside you, waiting to be kindled?
