The School Beneath the Mulberry Tree
In the rural highlands of eastern Afghanistan, nestled among the dry fields and mud-brick homes, lies a village so small that it doesn’t even appear on most maps. There are no paved roads. Electricity flickers on and off like a candle in the wind. The closest school is hours away, over rough hills and riverbeds that flood during spring.

The Year I Forgot My Voice, and Found It on the Page
The Year I Forgot My Voice, and Found It on the Page by Habib January 3 I sat at my desk for hours, pen in hand, eyes fixed on the blank page like it might blink first. It didn’t. Neither did I. Writing used to come as naturally as breathing. Now, it feels like I’m suffocating under the weight of everything I haven’t said.

This small daily habit changed my entire outlook on life.
It’s amazing how something so small, so insignificant, can change the entire trajectory of your life. I used to scoff at people who claim that “habits make or break you.” I thought it was all motivational fluff. That is, until I tried a small, almost laughably simple daily habit that reshaped the way I thought, acted, and felt.

The Blind Mother's Embrace
The little girl, Elara, knew her mother by touch, by scent, by the gentle lull of her whispered lullabies. Every night, without fail, her mother would visit her in her dreams. Not a vivid, bustling dream, but a soft, warm cocoon where she would be cradled in her mother’s lap, her tiny head resting against a familiar, comforting chest. Her mother’s hands, impossibly soft, would stroke her hair, trace patterns on her back. And even though Elara never saw her face in these dreams – it was always shrouded in a gentle, hazy darkness – she knew, with an innocent certainty, that these were her mother's hands, her mother's scent of lavender and old books, her mother's soothing voice.

I Don’t Fear AI. I Fear Forgetting My Own Voice
I Don’t Fear AI. I Fear Forgetting My Own Voice Written by: Said Adrees Sadat There was a time when writing was an act of solitude and rebellion. Like whispering secrets into the void and hoping they’d echo back as understanding. I used to sit alone in my room, long after midnight, with the world around me asleep. The silence wasn’t empty—it was full of tension, like the calm before a storm. A cup of bitter coffee kept me company, growing cold as my thoughts grew louder.
