Balance is the key—uplift without belittling

Now almost everyone has come to know about the celebrations of 8th of March- International Women's day. This day has long been ignored in the past centuries but there came a time when the Socialist Party of America took a step towards organizing the Women's Day in 1909, in New York and in 1910, it was decided that this day will be held annually. The women gained a lot of sufferings in the Soviet Union in 1917, after that, 8th of March was declared as a public holiday there. Later it was adopted by Untied Nations. This year the theme of this day remained  “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change”.
Different Cities of Pakistan arranged celebrations at different levels for the Women's Day. On large basis it was overlooked and still now only a few amount of people support this movement but this Day has made it's way into people's heart and now it is being celebrated world-wide.  

Masses have become mindful of providing the rights to women/ girls since we have taken stand for ourselves. "Aurat kisi ki Jagir Nahin Hae" we know to handle our own issues, we are decisive and want to live in our own way. Till how far we will be guided by our so-called carers?? Such things need to be stopped. 

The day before today, "Aurat Azadi March" was held at Islamabad Press Club, such awareness is a need of society, they instilled in woman that she is not someone's property, she is also someone. 


The settings of our ambience show that some people have taken wrong meaning to the theory of FEMINISM, it doesn't permit one to insult the opposite gender like girls standing on roads while holding pieces written on them "tumhare baap ka rasta nahin hai", such  slogans which are being used by the majority not actually define the rights and feminism as a whole, this is an abusive behavior of one gender towards the other and such people are causing damage to the authentic and very straight-forward meanings of women's rights, equality and if we sum it up in a single word then, FEMINISM. 
If people are denying the theory, rights and labeling as vulgar is because of swinish slogans used by some females. Rights can be achieved through proper means of decency and I think the accepted standards of morality can bring rights to females in more respectful way.     
Women's Day celebration is good to bring realization in the blocked frame of mind and society where the male domination is all the rumination and  CAPITALIST PATRIARCHY has set wrong standards. We as a woman stand in need to cross out this stage from the surroundings. Women Democratic Front is an urge of the hour to make a change in the global order and appropriacy of steps matter  a lot in transforming the power to equal level.

Under Sapphire Skies, We Were Infinite

The night before today, I encountered a fantasy about us: you and me, under the sapphire moonlight, tiny, vivid, glossy stars, a sight of the ocean with a light wind, soothing sand under our feet, my fingers tightened into yours, eyes displaying each other's reflection, tousled hair, uneasy breath, so merging into one another's souls as if making us one; we were weaving an endless memory of being one. Wind is singing our song of love; the universe is witnessing us being trove of love and the devotion and tenderness we are radiating, both to the world and to each other's souls. The ocean, with its dark energy, is astonishingly dancing with its waves to make our moment of being one feel whole; the night sky is unfolding its beautiful colours to shape an idyllic moment of happiness, and we are delightedly holding each other's image while pushing the pressures of the world to their limits, admiring each other to the utmost. ~ Zara

A Sky That Held My Unspoken

The nights like these, where you gaze at the stars: the bright, shiny stars, under the dark sky with their reflections and gleaming sparkles. You gaze at them to the extent that they begin aligning according to you, where they start talking to you, sending the signals you have always waited for. After all, they are the witnesses of all your sorrows, the griefs, and the unsaid words that have remained tugged inside your very soul like a knife, cutting it internally with such brutality that it rendered you nowhere. They have witnessed how you have never come across a moment where you could have opened yourself to breathe.  These stars, accompanying the moon, are the companions of your loneliness that has never been seen by the world, the alphabets that never got aligned in front of the external world, the memories that tarnished you from inside but kept playing in front of your eyes till you surrendered yourself to their fate. The silent heavens above are the companions which the wor...

Fragments from The Private Cosmos III

You existed in me longer than you ever did beside me. ~ Zara As his image appears, something inside me ignites; the world seems to pause, like moonlight suddenly spilling over the earth, soft and silver, and everything grows still just to witness his rare breath. Few images on this earth are rare enough to spill silver into the soul, and yours is the one that lingers in mine. ~ Zara Loneliness is not empty; it is filled with you. ~ Zara
