Makli - The Great Necropolis
Makli – The Great Necropolis
One fine day, when the weather was being extremely kind to us Karachiites, my family and I decided to head out to Thatta. For those of who do not know, Thatta is an ancient city in the interior of Sindh. It was once upon a time the capital of Sindh during the Mughal Era. The city itself is small but houses some of the most magnificent historical sites in the region. The first and foremost being…

Silence.
The absence of noise is called silence, that’s the most basic definition out there for this word. But over the past two months, the definition for me has changed. Silence has become the hallowing noise that one empty room makes in my house. It’s the constant reminder of what has been lost. Silence, is not the absence of noise. It is the deafening roar of a room missing its occupant. It is the…

Musings At Midnight
In the temporary world we live in sometimes we forget that we for all we are, are just guests. Living a life that has been granted to us by a higher power and taking everything for granted. Instances like the death of a loved one, particularly someone who you held in the highest of regard can do a really good job of making you reassess your life. I have been reassessing, re-evaluating each and…

What the Year 2017 took with it..
A lot can happen in a year, everyone knows that. But what I didn’t realize was, as I sit in the early days of 2018 I would look back exactly a year and have my heart yearn for that day and those moments that were left behind in 2017. Oh, how I wish I could go back exactly a year. 2017, how cruel you were but yet so final. I wish someone had told me about this so I could hold on to you forever. I…

From the Arabian Sea to the Karakoram
Mark Twain once said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” These words ring true on so many levels. All one has to do is get up, hop on a plane or a train and just go…

Musings At Midnight
There are a lot of deadly combinations in the world, these combinations can make the world explode, make the earth shake and move mountains. One of the deadliest combination I have come across is not something someone thought of in a laboratory or anything. It is that of one girl, her thoughts and a song she has on repeat. Thoughts run the wildest when the night is at its peak. You lay there…

Ikigai
Ikigai (n) Origin: Japanese A reason for being. “There are many days, when I am overwhelmed with a sadness so strong that it leaves me paralyzed in bed.” She admitted finally, “Moments when I fail to even think of one reason why I should be getting up and just continue with life.” “Maybe, you have not found your ikigai,” he answered. She looked at him, as she waited for him to continue. Taking…

It was the first rain of the year. You could hear the pitter-patter of the rain as it descended down from the heaven, refreshing the whole city. Children laughed and danced with utter glee as the drops of rains washed away the scorching heat of the sun and petrichor emanated from the earth. As the children danced, and the adults thanked God for ending the drought; there stood a girl. Clad in…

The Workings Of Ciqam - The Green & The Prosperous.
The Workings Of Ciqam – The Green & The Prosperous.
Participation of women in development results not only in social justice but helps reduce poverty. However, women in countries such as Pakistan, India and such still face a barrier when it comes to actually being able to contribute to the society. This is mostly due to lack of educational institutions for girls and health care facilities. In a recent trip to Hunza, a mountainous valley in the…

Musings In An Airplane.
The flight to Karachi from Lahore takes approximately one and a half hours, and I have been on that flight a handful of times now. But I was never lucky enough to have the window seat, as someone was always hogging it. This time around coming back to Karachi, I was fortunate enough to find an empty seat next to the window. Looking out of a plane has its own charm. One is thousands of miles up in…

Musings at the hospital
Day 100 Going to the hospital requires a lot of patience, as all you do is wait. Your thoughts run away with every door that opens and closes on you. But you just sit there, waiting, waiting for something, anything really. The question is what are we all waiting for? Day 101 How weird hospitals are, one day you see someone crying outside in the waiting room as they have lost a loved one. But the…

Every day she got back up from the ruins of yesterday, scars that wouldn’t disappear clung to her like the smell of smoke on cloth. She’d put on her battle gear and go out in the world, struggling to be herself and not what the world expects her to be. Every night, she would tend to her wounds and go to sleep with moisture in her eyes and sorrow in her soul. Oh the show she’d put on for the…

2016 At A Glimpse – The Year of Tragedies & Gems Lost
Time has a silly way of playing with us, a second turns in to a minute, a minute in to a an hour and before we know it days, months and years have flown by. In its wake though time leaves terrible scars, wounds so deep that we spend yet that very same time in future tending to them. The cycle of time healing us and wounding us as it goes by. “What a slut time is, she screws everybody.” – John…
