Hunza The farewell of 2019 brought a dramatic twist in the life stories of the inhabitants of planet earth. This is quite a scenario that when the human evolutionary process has reached its zenith and humanity witnessed the climax of scientific technology, communication, information technology, artificial intelligence, medical technology, nanotechnology and what not. And when human intervention...
Final Destination…… when there comes a tragedy or we face some inconceivable adversity that shakes our grounding , then we start questioning our real identity. I would call them preferably as existential questions, such as ; who i am? what is life? what is my real nature or identity? what is the purpose of life? what is death? what will happen after death? We then feel the desire to...
God forbid from the testing times,, when we are being tested unknowingly, and we overlooked those moments in haste and ignorance. While sitting at the facade of icu (intensive care unit), everything seems crystal clear, all the implausibilities of life , and of death… These two absolutes now seem easy for me to comprehend .. okay..there is either white or black..life or...
Relationships in general, not just marital relationships in particular, work best on the principle of mutualism; a form of symbiosis in which both species benefit from the existence of each other. The pretext to such assumptions lies in studying the lives of the blind shrimp and the gobby fish together. The fish alerts the shrimp of danger by the sensation of touch through its tail to alert it...
(photo credit : Nasar Rehman) Nothing was ever so complicated to the man than the contemporary world. The invincible virus(Corona), the unstoppable alluvium of human integration (gift of globalization), and the subsequent ‘Niagara of information’ have leeched our minds than anything could have ever done. Right at this time, i am quite perplexed for what to believe and what not to...
اَوَلَمۡ يَرَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ كَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰهُمَاؕ وَجَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ كُلَّ شَىۡءٍ حَىٍّؕ اَفَلَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡن “Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? (30)”. sura Anbiya (AL -Quran ) “Let...
www.flicker.com/photos/mbukhari once again .. one more time … but this time people are barefaced with the concerns which are so ambiguous,so obscure that it has become nothing else then a dilemma. the optics are very much at the crossroad of an oppressed and an oppressor, but the most bizarre and quirky phenomenon about this dilemma is “the oppressed considers the blue devils as...
painting by Hamail Fatima(@whatthesecretgarden) Huddled in front of the furnace,my eyes fixated on the fire brazenly engulfing the ceramic plate,while my mind delved in reminiscing the events from the year I have spent. Another year,gone,dusted,vanished into the vastness of nothingness…A year,12 months,365 days…..Yet it felt longer,like it had lasted forever;Perhaps because...
One of the few stories , I have remembered from my childhood, is a fable of a hilarious trio of a man , a boy and a donkey. Many of you must have known this story for long. Allow me to rewind it again once more as a preamble to this post .. A man and his son were going with their donkey to a nearby town’s market , while they were walking a countryman passing by said “you fools, what...
Look at this picture once, this is the same white snow with it’s strange stillness, showered colours on it and see how it stirred it’s stillness– everything is changed, the optics, the atmosphere, the aura and the feelings. Life is nothing more and nothing less than this. It depends on the colours, we bathe our lives with. I had moments in my life when I felt that I am the most...
