AURAT MARCH, 2021 AGENDA: The much-awaited Aurat March is all set to take place on Monday, March 8, 2021, across Pakistan. The mission of the Aurat March is to unite women, trans, and nonbinary people for the cause of gender justice and bring about collective social change based on the principles of inclusion, dignity, freedom, and equality. The cities of Karachi, Islamabad, Multan and Lahore have come up with various kinds of agenda which aims at justice, education,  health facilities and many more positive developmental projects for women. The Paradox: According to my views, the actions and demands of the Aurat March are paradoxical to a greater extent. At one side, they aim at establishment of logical and peaceful society but when it comes to practicality, most of them turn their faces away from logic and reason_ in short they ignore those issues which need to be addressed rather they focus on minor and unimportant things. The aim of women empowerment through education fades awa...

  Wisdom is not marked by wise words but by wise actions and for the wise actions, every action matters . It is like a process of refining a diamond from a coal_ polish, varnish and attention are required to attain it. Actions serve as those ropes that might drag someone to fairy meadows or to the hot water springs. They follow the “Tit for tat” rule, if you acted good, you will have good and vice versa. Every action matters because actions are the mirror of one’s mind. If you want to understand someone, examine his/her actions. They decide the future, present the past and portray the present of an individual. Each and every action really matters because they ultimately become the lifestyle of a person. Actions tend to become habits and habits collectively amalgamate into a lifestyle_ the very roots of human life, for which every soul strives hard to live to its fullest. In short, actions of an individual are an open book which is read, interpreted and reviewed by all. They are lik...

INFERIORITY COMPLEX THESE DAYS: As per my observations, insecurities these days are too much materialistic. No doubt, every kind of insecurity is fatal but materialistic one is like a tumor which eats away one's abilities, faith and willpower and I think these three things occupy second most important place in human life; first one is oxygen ofcourse. The victims ratio of this mental disorder is tilted more towards female gender because they easily get delighted with useless concepts such as fashion, clothes, shoes or in short wardrobe of others.  This happens when "the company" of the victim is different from his way of life. O ne cannot change his way of life just because of the exposure to "more adventurous, more modern or a better company" (according to the victim), rather he imagines it with himself, setting aside the real world, resultantly he "modernizes" the state of mind. OUTCOMES OF THIS STATE OF MIND: Resultantly, the victim retards himself ...

  Never specify a limit, dream limitless, aim interminable, work inestimable only then you will have your dreams, you will know your strength, you will recognize your potential. What in life puts a watermark, a tag, a full stop to dreams? One's ownself. Why should there be a need to measure what we really want? Desire for innumerables, then you will work for those and eventually you will have grip on those one day. Why I say  " NO limit for dreams" because 90% of the people fail not because they dreamed big but because they dreamed small... They succeeded in achieving small and were left behind in that circle of their comfort zone, never recognized what they really were capable of until they passed 40.  Never specify a comfort zone for yourself when you are between 20-25. The decisions you take now are the roads for your destinations named career. Only YOU know what you can do, only YOU know how high you can fly. If you have a limited approach to everything how will you k...

 Today's blog is going to be about patriotism. A very random one, which I have not prepared but just writing what I feel for my country.  There are counties, there are states and then there come nation states. Pakistan is a nation state because it came into being with the slogan of  being a nation. The sacrifices of the Muslims as well as non Muslims are not boxed from anyone and everyone knows about them. What we don't know is about our present and that is why we see our future vague. Pakistan is not any random country, it is the land of heroes! I will not just blindly claim things but I will provide evidences and I will make you learn very basic achievements of my beloved country... Let's start with natural beauty. Pakistan is among few countries to be blessed with all the four seasons. Its most beautiful region is northern. This part of the country is famous due to its amazing meadows, sky-high mountains including K-2, hundreds of rivers and lush green valleys. These p...

Words have the power to either lift you to the heavens or drag you to the ground.  Words are important because they are the influencers of actions. You act the way you speak. These words may be in the form of prayers, speeches, poetry etc. What I am going to discuss today is "Prayers" and "Poetry". What are prayers? In Islam or any other religion, there is an invisible and secret conversation between the creator and the created. This conversation might be closed from the whole world but could not be closed from the creator because we all know that He knows what is even in the core of our heart. The creator is like oxygen, you can't see him but you need him to survive. So when one prays, this prayer is not one sided that is why I am calling it a conversation, Allah replies if we listen, Allah answers if we question. What these prayers really do? They lift and carry the burden of one and makes one feel light, happy and satisfied. These prayers strengthen the faith...
