Drowning in books is the sweetest way to be lost

  Bibliomania refers to the passion of flocking together books, and the one who gathers the stock of books also has the curiosity to experience the imagination and ideas collected and put in order by the writer in a long time. Almost half of the world is having strong emotions towards books, which at least a book lover doesn’t consider boring and infuriating, but the rest of the world marks it as tiresome and uninteresting. But let me tell you, the way a book shows loyalty towards people, no one does. In a society of two-faced people, I think it should be more desirable to spend time with books rather than to be in the company of those people who have a completely different internal side from an external one. At least a company of a book can never be bad and enrich one with the flood of knowledge, proficiency, and headway towards an eminent position. The habit of reading has entirely lost its position because technology has diverted our attention so much that one doesn’t consider i...

When God wants to help you nothing can pull you down

When you try to achieve something great in life, you always need to keep your eyes on your goal, working with the end in mind. Most people focus on the path and pursue only that, which is one of the things that makes them stumble. Everything in life starts with an objective. So identify that first. There was the time when I really felt worthless and ill-fated because I was a failure in taking steps to achieve my goals. Earlier I had no proper aims and objectives, like what I really wanted to do in life. Then one day something clicked in my mind, and I started to ink my words on the piece of paper. I had no idea how to write in a beautiful way, how to attract and grab the mind of others; all I knew was to be something everybody loves. I gathered the ideas and hardly converted them into words, as it was my first experience to make my ideas public; there were hurdles in my voice. I never lost hope and made efforts toward the goals, and then the time came when I felt the best.  After ...

What ghosts from your past still whisper your name?

A period comes in life where you don't want to be a part of anything and want to spend some time alone. You start giving replies to those with whom you never argued; it is all because you are done with the things, you are done with people, you are done with all the negativity around you, you are done with life, and you don't have the capacity to endure anymore nonsense and cheating. The sudden interruption and discontinuance of something lead you towards depression. Sometimes you don't want to give up on the things that clearly give an idea that neither you accept reality nor want to do so.  You just limit the ability to participate in conversations and avert from everyone because you don't need a company; all you want is yourself.  These phases come and go; some survive, and some just give up by ending all the connections. Here what I observed is, avoiding people by turning away and hiding yourself from each and everyone from the surroundings are not the only soluti...

What storm is brewing in your heart?

Sometimes things bother you, and you have no idea what exactly that is. You become antisocial to social, and this sudden transformation of yourself shakes you, and nothing seems ahead except darkness.  Why does it happen? Here is not only one reason for such a case happening; one finds many, and everyone has different reasons that bother them. When something like that occurs, nothing makes sense to you, and all you want is to be alone with your soul because it is a surety this will not deceive you, leave you, or make you feel of no value. Only you, yourself, and God can understand the situation you are passing through, and nobody else can, so don't even try to ask others to get the point of yours. There are some ways to handle the direction your life is going towards. First, to not give a damn what others think of you, try to control your emotions, don't depend on others, don't trust easily, and don't be with someone who makes you feel worthless.  It is not necessary t...

Three-Day Workshop at NUML

Three-Day Workshop at NUML: Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) and CPEC The focal person of the workshop, Mam Saadia Saif Niazi is going to arrange a three day workshop at NUML. It will be all related to the present development of projects like BRI and CPEC. These two projects are having a great significance in the present time and everyone needs to find its proper details like what impacts will it create on Pakistan’s economy and on infrastructure? The conventional wisdom of trade and economic integration of states has changed with the new dynamics of economic cooperation at regional and global level. The forces of globalization in twenty first century have created an economic competition among states. Chinese New Silk Road (NSR) diplomacy came up with its revolutionary idea of Belt and Road initiative (BRI) trying to refurbish the conventional relations of Old Silk Road which was a political, social, economic and cultural link between the states of diverse cultural ba...

A Journey Etched in Memory

The very first time when I dressed up like an adult Even most of the adolescents start to act and dress up like adults, which really doesn’t look nice. Everyone should have some dressing sense and should dress up while keeping their age in mind, and this is what looks proper and modest. With time, the demand to wear enticing attire and have good makeup has been elevated, and no one accepts anyone without seeing her wrapped in an appealing outfit with a huge amount of makeup on her face. My mother never permitted me to beautify myself older than my age. As a child, it was my big desire to get ready in a way one does for the red carpet, but I wasn’t allowed, and as I grew up, I lost all desires and wishes to deck out elegantly and entrancingly. When I was 20, the first time I made an appearance like a grown-up girl at a marriage ceremony, but still everybody took me as an infant because nobody found maturity on my face and in my actions. As I was the last born in my family, I had al...
