Our worlds on the planet

  I don't recall myself praising Jinnah that much in daily conversation, but I fondly remember making sketches of him during my study time. The minute I had a pencil in my hand and a paper in front of me, the first thing I did was sketch Jinnah spontaneously. Recalling     those moments, my instincts were deeply rooted with him.     Jinnah     appeared as a role model and an inspirational leader while studying history.   In the years followed by many independence days and defence days Jinnah was always in my thoughts.  Living for more than twenty years in Canada has depthened my appreciation for Jinnah. It has broadened my perspective about myself,    my identity and my background.  If it was not for Jinnah to stand strong and tall for his nation who would I be today?  Not only does being a proud Pakistani Canadian give me peace but also an Identity to remind myself of who I am and where I belong.  I thank Pakistan , ...

How sad it is to see the loved one passing away during this special time of the year. How heart-wrenching it is to just fathom the idea of losing someone who is so dear to us, individually or as a collective concern of societal loss.  Having to know that there are many rational things to worry about when we contemplate death, especially in this scenario death is a side effect of the deathly situation in which the passengers were put in, this hurts the most.

Be it like sudden accidents, cancer, heart attack,  stroke or ...

On the journey of navigating through life, our map history finds old wounds and places of happiness.  On the diagram, People appear to be the most vital part of life either to make or break you. They cause harm or they become the reason to live...  On the rough and patchy road,  our siblings are the people who become speed breakers, they make you slow down, make you watch your next step. They shadow you and shape you in many ways. They are the fixture of life.  Even distance doesn't seem to have any effect on the relationship. The bond between them grows stronger.  After Ammi and Abbu, they are the strength that keeps me moving forward. Given the scenario I have been placed into, if it wasn't for them to help me stand tall I would have been so devastated by everything that had happened to me.   On the patchy road, when a rain of sorrow splattered the wind, and the fear of thunder roared, Siblings Formed, a cloud of love to make me feel safe and shield. ...
