Unshaken

  In turbulent times, it becomes more important than ever to stand rooted in truth, faith, and critical thinking. While emotions often run high and social media floods our screens with half-formed narratives, it is essential to remind ourselves that not everything we hear is grounded in fact. Pakistan, in its current posture, is following a strategy aligned with international law, and this deserves recognition rather than reactionary skepticism. As citizens, our role is not merely to observe but to understand. Rash judgments and panic do not serve national interest—strategic patience does. The country’s institutions, especially the armed forces, are carrying out their duties with responsibility and coordination. There is no place for haste or blind outrage. Instead, this is a moment to reflect, analyze critically, and show maturity as a nation. We are not just a population living within borders—we are Pakistan. Our identity is tied to deep values: faith, unity, and sacrifice. We mu...

Should I Stay Quiet?

  There’s a moment in every person’s life when silence feels safer than speech. When the weight of the world presses heavily on the heart, and the voices of the oppressed echo through headlines, photos, and videos—but still, many ask: Should I stay quiet? Today, that question rings louder than ever. From the shattered buildings of Gaza to the heavily militarized valleys of Kashmir, suffering is not a distant concept—it is ongoing, undeniable, and urgent. Children sleep to the lullabies of bombs, mothers mourn without closure, and generations grow up knowing war more intimately than peace. The human instinct is to turn away. It’s easier to scroll past, to mute the news, or to convince oneself that silence is neutral. But in the face of injustice, silence is never neutral—it is a choice. And more often than not, it’s a comfortable alignment with the status quo. Why We Hesitate?  The fear of speaking up is real. We fear being misunderstood, criticized, or labeled. We fear saying ...

The Silent Conversations

  Have you ever walked into your home and felt an unexplainable sense of calm—or perhaps restlessness? Beyond just being a space filled with furniture and décor, your home is a silent reflection of your inner world. Every object you own carries a story, an emotion, and an energy that speaks volumes about your state of mind. The Psychology of Possessions From the books on your shelf to the way your workspace is arranged, everything in your environment holds a deeper meaning. Studies in environmental psychology show that cluttered spaces often mirror internal chaos, while minimalist setups may reflect a need for mental clarity. But what if we looked at it beyond minimalism and clutter? What if our objects were actually engaging in silent conversations with us? What Your Objects Might Be Saying About You 1. The Books You Keep (or Don't Read) Ever noticed that you keep buying self-help books but never finish them? This could indicate a subconscious search for answers you're not rea...

Neurobecoming

Have you ever looked back at an old photo or reread something you wrote years ago and thought, Wow, I was a completely different person back then? It’s almost like looking at a stranger. And in a way, you are. The truth is, you are never the same person twice. Every experience—big or small—shapes you in ways you don’t always notice. The way you see the world, the things you believe, and even the way you react to situations are constantly evolving. And that’s not just a poetic way of looking at life—it’s science! Life Is Always Reshaping You Think about it: the version of you reading this right now is slightly different from the version of you five minutes ago. Maybe a sentence here sparked a new thought, or maybe you're just a little more aware of the fact that you’re changing all the time. Every conversation, every book you read, every challenge you face—they all leave marks. Some experiences nudge you forward, while others shake you up completely. But whether you realize it or no...

Don't Panic

Lessons from Pandemic We faced a global crisis—Corona! It was not just a physical health issue; it deeply affected our mental health too. What should be done if we face it in any other way today? DON’T PANIC! Most of the time, it’s not the disease itself that harms you the most—it’s the panic that takes over. The moment you hear you have it, stress kicks in: "Oh no! I have it. Will I die soon? What will happen?" Or even, "What if I catch it? What then?" And then, overthinking begins... Want to control it? If you’ve caught it—will you just sit there, waiting for medicine to work? Your willpower matters. No illness, including this one, can be fought without the determination to recover. Even medicine works better when you actively decide to fight back. If you haven’t caught it—be grateful. Appreciate your health, and don’t let unnecessary fear take over your life. In tough times, seek joy. Spend time with loved ones. Life is giving us a chance—a chance to slow ...

Fasting: A Discipline for the Body, A Feast for the Soul

"Fasting is not just a physical discipline, it can be a spiritual feast." Jentezen Franklin Across different religions and cultures, fasting has remained a common spiritual practice—one of the earliest forms of worship and meditation, a way to connect with the Divine. But why do we fast? How does it affect us psychologically? There is a theory that when a person fasts, their veins contract slightly, regulating blood flow. This balance is believed to help in maintaining overall well-being. But does "blood flow" really matter? And if so, how does it impact us? Consider an electric cooler: if the water supply is too fast or too slow, the system malfunctions. Similarly, fasting helps regulate our bodily functions. The human body is like a machine—it needs a steady but controlled flow of nutrients. When this system is maintained, the soul aligns, bringing mental clarity and emotional stability. Fasting helps us recognize how much nourishment our body truly needs and w...
