Recently, I came across a clip featuring the famous writer Elif Shafak. She discussed how words in native languages can convey emotions in ways that only speakers of those languages can fully understand. Specifically, she mentioned the word “gorbat,” which she described as the feeling of being at home—an emotion that cannot be felt when one is away from their homeland.Elif Shafak’s word sparked a…

It’s research material for my upcoming novel, mostly links, as I can’t share saved articles. The story highlights the horrific nature of the honour killing. Just sharing what I read in case it would be useful for anyone else to work with.

I’m writing this with a heavy heart, and honestly, I don’t even know where to begin. For months, I’ve used my pen to speak out against the divisions that plague our society—class, caste, and the labels that keep us apart. But something I witnessed this week shook me to my core. It made me realise that perhaps the deepest, most painful divide we face is gender—and heartbreakingly, it’s one that…

Change your Question, Change the mindset I learned an important lesson during a work training: “Change the question if you want to get different results.” This means that each question is crafted to elicit a specific answer. It is up to us to decide what we want to achieve from that answer. I have consistently discussed the divisions and labeling systems in Pakistan. This is for those who have…

I recently tried to watch the “Saiyaara” movie in Manchester, but the theatres were fully booked even during the weekdays. I finally managed to catch it, and I’d like to share my feedback. I’ve been writing film reviews for the past 17 years, covering films from Korean, Turkish, Iranian, English, and Indian cinema. First, I should mention that this film is nothing like a typical Korean film.…

There was an empty house in a strange town which looked like a ruin from years. The leaves of its trees were blowing from the wind like memories. One day, it was windy. A “Love” entered the town wearing a long, dark, dirty robe. She was knocking on the door of this empty house. People start noticing and though she must be crazy knocking a empty house . She kept knocking on for days. But no answer…

I think beauty of this design is to link our senses with certain time of the year and you are right Michael , It does create very strong summer sort of feelings . Glass walls are usually for framing ourselves in natural environment which is kind of a key of this design here . I also quite liked exterior lay out and ceiling which is kind of creating a pavilion look but I guess aim might be to be…

Its a story of a village where Dogs betrayed their honors and no one could not solve mystery .

After several days of heavy fog and cold weather, I found myself craving the winter delight of “greens.” I decided to head to the market to search for some fresh greens and other seasonal treasures. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to discover that I couldn’t find many of the seasonal items I was hoping for. In an attempt to lift my spirits, I bought some guavas instead, gathered a few other…

I have been talking about the social and racial division for the past few weeks. One link of this division is related to religion. We have seen Islam divided into many sects in Pakistan. One sect considered others lower than them and each sect thought they were the perfect believers. Islam's division in Europe and America is more likely an attitude. I would call it "My Islam is better than…
