Urdu وہ اپنے گھر چلا گیا، افسوس مت کرو اتنا ہی اس کا ساتھ تھا،افسوس مت کرو انسان اپنے آپ میں مجبور ہے بہت کوئی نہیں ہے بے وفا،افسوس مت کرو Devanagri वो अपने घर चला गया, अफ़सोस मत करो इतना ही इस का साथ था,अफ़सोस मत करो इन्सान अपने आप में मजबूर है बहुत…

How far should one go to get reviews?
How do I find myself as a writer? – raw, unrefined and unpolished. How do I find myself as a marketing: bad. No, pathetic. PATHETIC. Terrible. I can go on, but you get the drift. How do I handle the review? One review (good or bad) and I run to my room, hide myself under…

Kids and Parents
Kids are small bundles of joy (and trouble). I am not a parent, but I have been with enough kids to know how a parent ‘may’ feel. I have been blessed… correction. My sisters have been blessed with three sons, and a son and a daughter respectively. For me, I have four beautiful (and crazy)…
Self Doubt 2.0

I am glad that I don’t drive
Today it took me one hour and forty-five minutes to get to office, thanks to the traffic. No, I wasn’t driving. The commute still left me tired. I felt bad for the office cab’s driver. He, and his fellow drivers have a tough job. I take this moment to thank them. True, they are just…
Tips to replenish your wardrobe at zero cost
I ain’t much into fashion. I wear what I’m comfortable with. I still replenish my wardrobe every six months. I don’t shop from malls anymore. I stopped about four years ago. Even branded clothes are easily affordable nowadays and people look like clones – wearing the similar outfit; sporting the similar hairstyles; showing off similar…
