Covid-19—the fatal virus that made history—has also killed off a substantial fraction of the world’s population as the total cases rapidly climbed globally, and the rest are still in a life-threatening situation. Some of the states have managed to control the situation, including China and New Zealand, while on the other side, the death rate of some ill-fated nations like the United States of America, Pakistan, India, etc., is still high, and they are experiencing night terrors on a day-to-day basis. Moreover, even the world’s hegemon lacked good governance and was unable to switch towards maintaining and retaining influence and coping with the challenging conditions. The worst-hit nations somehow survived and, bit by bit, returned to normal life as the daily cases wind down. Furthermore, deeper conspiracy theories have been emerging and doing rounds since the start of this dangerous disease, which contributed to the huge level of deteriorating the crisis even more. These theories are ...

  The deadly coronavirus disease, which is now officially called COVID-19, actually escaped from the seafood market in Wuhan, China, and is also the hub for China’s booming car parts and accessories exports. It is a real human tragedy as thousands got infected and hundreds lost their precious lives in multiple states after China, while numerous cities are facing lockdown as a result of the dangerous coronavirus outbreak across the world. The virus has been traced day by day since its beginning, and it is spreading so quickly that people’s lives are under threat, cases are skyrocketing, and it has not just remained limited to public health anymore, but it is hurting China’s economy as well as the world economy. The situation got more deteriorated when the Chinese Communist Party found itself more concerned with covering up the story th a n preventing the actual virus.   If we go back a little in history, we come to know that back in 2002, or 18 years ago, China went through the...

Some days back I went to the northern side of Pakistan, which is well thought out as the most scenic side of the country, having all the loveliness, tranquillity, and a serene environment that is at its best to provide peace to the one's state of mind. The rest house where I stayed, the management staff had always stood by to make sure we were comfortable in spite of their own unpleasant conditions. The discriminatory system of capitalism has almost crumbled the societies. There, among caretakers, I found a poor, white-haired old man—bearded, frail, and fragile. He enquired about my profession, and after getting to know, he requested I put his appalling story of village life into a lifelong book, where a single life lives and dies every day. He was living there far away from his family in order to make a living. Upon asking, I was told he was from that backward area where the necessities of life were never imagined, where there was no surety of the next meal, and people’s lives we...

Does India want to dominate Pakistan? Pakistan’s oldest rival, India, conducts firing on the LoC (Line of Control) over and over, which always ends up suffering persecution and death of our young soldiers. This was not enough, and India began a zero-sum game over Kashmir by taking it under threat and brutally attacking the unarmed Kashmiris. These merciless strikes and direct firings against the country, which earlier remained a part of the subcontinent and where Hindus and Muslims were a union before the British conquest, are somewhat not new but part of Indians and Pakistanis daily lives. These hostilities are the result of untouched wounds originated after the redrawing of boundaries between the two regions—India and Pakistan. If we go into a little history, it helps in understanding the roots of contentions. In the earlier centuries, when the subcontinent was free from foreign interference, the shape of the social and economic system was different in its own way. There were soc...

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 si...

Are we good at coming up with creative ideas, draughting fair schedules, making sensible decisions, and yet failing to carry out goals as planned? It's understood that it is not easy to keep up our enthusiasm and work up to our ambition, especially when we have a range of responsibilities. But there are millions of them who have achieved it. Indubitably, none of them attained this success effortlessly. At the end of the day, a path is just an option, and yes, it is one of the ways forward. It is the thing that you are doing right now and focusing on today. But tomorrow is another day. Yet, so many of you build your happiness by the road you are on. Somehow, you think and believe that it is the most important. But you have to be really careful. In the end, you need to keep your eyes on your goal because it is the thing that you are trying to achieve. Your end goal is what you are trying to get. The path is somewhat irrelevant, as it is really your best guess. It is the thing that yo...

  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 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 ...

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...

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...
