Our Childhood Teen vs NOW

When we come to this world, we are welcomed with open arms - open hearts as well. Unfortunately as we grow older the love gets on becoming conditional. As I am a 1985 born I felt during my BS last semesters I remember my mother expecting me to help her in kitchen, while I used to do my university work in late evening [IF SHE COULD COMMUNICATE IT CLEARLY WITH LOVE AND LETTING ME ORGANIZE MY SCHEDULE TO HELP HER OUT IN WORK]. One other thing I remember from that time is one day me and my mother was washing whole house, cleaning and everything. As some one hour was left in Aftar (breaking fast) when I looked or observed my father and brother they were not seeming out helping us out in food preparation work in kitchen. Islamically and on human grounds they could have helped us but unfortunately the gender labeled norms in our society make life stingy for all of us. During my BS (a four year program in university after FSc) our teacher told us when you turn 23 or cross 23, no one will ever ...

Why It Changed After June 15, 2008

In those summers in I was a student of BS Computer Science, my 8 semesters came to an end and I was successfully working on my project. I was the only one working on my project alone because all my class fellows think that it was a difficult one. It was Sunday and we went to a neuro doctor in his clinic as he told us to do an EMG test. It was a bit shocking because the doctor told us that this is an illness and it will increase with time. Till that point I just have to use AFOs in shoes and to go through some corrective and diagnostic surgeries. That day was something that diverted my life around a pivot. I remember coming home with helpless eyes. I remember going to university the other day and sharing with my friends, it was as if colours went out of my life. It was like a sword hovering over my head. After that I started meditation by the same doctor; it was an injection and a folic acid tablet. Doctor told that with medications we can try to improve the symptoms but the disease its...

My Life Journey

To all my friends who want to know. This time I will write how it challenged my academics and tried to influence my whole life. When I was in school 6 years old I had pain in ankle of my right foot. We were travelling from our village to Peshawar that day. When we reached Peshawar, my uncle who is Orthopaedic Surgeon said it seems peripheral neuropathy. My one feet size was decreasing than other one. My Paediatric doctor was also giving me medicines for it. His recommendation was not to operate unless I am 18. When I was in class 3 I underwent a surgery for nerve biopsy. When I was in class 4 I did an EMG test in CMH Rawalpindi, there they revealed that my hands too are affected. They suggested some exercises for it. Along with all that I was getting AFOs and physiotherapy from a workshop of KTH under kind supervision of Dr Bakht Sarwar. In early 90s that org was mainly treating war affected patients from Afghanistan. The pain was to put orthosis in my shoes for school. And the difficu...

Ghani Okhur Dase Gham

English Translation Ghani got a wound No Medicine nor and 'Dam' can heal All the Creation is obvious Except the Sight of the Creator People say it's a Celebration For me it's 'Moharram'! The surroundings are beats and music For me they are vowes, cries and sadness When the life started stretching back So everything stretched back with it Even the sin was not enjoyable as before The sweetness was lost from the tastes of Creations Nothing helped me out Neither the roofs of worship places nor the shades of 'Haram' People say it's Celebration For me it's 'Moharram'!

Effective and Quality School Learning

I intended to write on effective and quality school learning. It is a diverse topic also the context of country and location counts in it. I went through many educational policies and suggestions in context of school system; what I couldn't found is what we can do to short cut the process of school learning and make it more effective for parents and children.

The Life of John Donne | John Donne Biography
