You have the right to express your views. To dissent. To criticize. To disagree. But if your views ignite hate, violence, and discrimination; then you don’t have the right to express. Because then, you are violating the social space. People die. They die daily. But a dead person doesn’t become respectable or beloved just because…

Hira
You talk to a girl – let’s call her Pari – for some time. You haven’t happened to see her, yet you talk to her daily on the phone. Then she disappears. She disappears because she was unable to own you. After some months, you talk to another girl – Hira – and she is…

Random Numbness (November 2020)
I was waiting for so long. For a miracle to come. Hush. Now. I see a light in the sky. Oh it’s almost blinding me. I can’t believe I’ve been touched by an angel. With love. These are some lines from Celine Dion’s song. No jazbaat intended. Since yesterday – a new day – there…

Trump & Dumbs
Some dumbs were supporting Trump with the stance that no new war was initiated in the last 4 years. Those are the same dumbs who never have questioned the same at home. Like who were the Presidents here in 1965, 1971, 1980s, and during War on Terror?

Tom & Jerry
Nawaz Sharif took 2 names. In return, Imran Khan took 3. Wasn’t that the whole point? Thanks! It’s nothing more than Tom & Jerry fighting to rule the same house. Remember Tom & Jerry? We never saw the lady who actually owned the house. We only saw her boots. What coincidence. Looney Tunes… continues.

Bashir Memon’s (former DG FIA) episode could have been a swift blow to the government in a conscience country. At least it would have caused serious investigation. But here, it…

Parents smell their children. They inhale their presence deep into their soul. Maybe it is an addiction. Maybe it is the fulfillment of being. Maybe it is because the two are one. Whatever the reason, it is the ultimate form of love and honesty. Parents breathe in their kids. Parents talk to their newborns. They…

Random Numbness (October 2020)
11 Pakistani Hindus died in India. They were Hindus after all. No hue and cry. That’s why. Imagine if they would have been Muslims… Sunni Muslims… Punjabi Sunni Muslims? This would have caused an uproar. But just uproar. We get emotional after a couple of days for a couple of days. Like we got emotional…
