INNER VOICE - MOTIVATION AND SELF SATISFACTION

Image
Hello all, We all have an inner world that we never want to share with others. Few of us are open enough to share it, but many love to keep it a secret. We do a few things just for inner satisfaction. The actions may be different, but the purpose is the same: self-satisfaction. The inner world exists in everyone, but few of us take it seriously; many of us have thought that it is something that is related to daydreamers or people with an artistic approach. But, my friends, it is not the case. We have a lot of wishes and desires crawling inside us to do our best or at least something unique. Where are they from? Even a wrestler doing tough exercises in a local gym has a dream to defeat WWF champions. A lot of them struggle and achieve their goals, and few of them drop their weapons against a small number of hurdles. We have many examples of people who changed their profession at their peak and adopted an entirely different routine. There are many who left monetary ...

SUPERSTITION

Hello all, According to many readings and scientific studies, our illusions are due to some disorder in mental chemical levels. We overthink a lot and make up our minds according to what we think often. These kinds of beliefs are very common in our daily routine. These are called superstitions and vary from area to area. Many times, they have no similarity between them, but the purpose is the same: "superstition". Another reason for these superstitions is that many clever and manipulative people spread their self-created myths among simple and illiterate people and influence them to believe them.  The worst I ever read was in stories where men or women were being burnt due to the belief that the victims were involved in witchcraft. It was a common way to take revenge on somebody.  In the sub-continent, there are many superstitions believed to be true; actually, those are not, because we do not have any concrete argument for their validity. Here I want to mention a...

HOBBIES

Image
Hello all, Being human is excellent because we are not restricted to making efforts for our appetite and sleep only, but we have to feed our mind and soul for their refreshment. For this very reason, we have an urge to select some hobbies for self-satisfaction. People around us have many hobbies such as games, cooking, gardening, keeping pets, hiking, socializing, gossip, chatting, movies, and many more. Obviously, Android games are ahead of all and have made many people addicted. Hobbies are necessary for us to spend our spare time in some positive way, as we all know, “An empty mind is a devil’s workshop”. With the change in our routines, many things have changed. Once, ticket and coin collecting were very popular hobbies for many. In my school days, there was an old man sitting outside our school with three to four albums of tickets in his lap. Many boys, including one of my friends, Asif, were keen to sit there and search for something new to elaborate their collections. ...

THE SPRING - NOW AND THEN

Image
Hello all, This spring season is prompting me to describe the beautiful memories of Lahore festivals that I participated in and enjoyed throughout the year, especially in spring. There were the Horse and Cattle Show, Firework Show, National Industrial Exhibition, Music Concert, Basant, Art and Culture Exhibition, etc. My city, Lahore, took the lead in introducing “Food Street,” which is still a place to spend some time with loved ones for the refreshment of the mind and tummy. But the atmosphere is not there anymore. Everyone has a threat of terrorism in their consciousness. Even government-level functions are now being arranged within the walls under top security measures. The fear leads our children to spend most of their time at home on the internet. Internet activities are not bad, but they only activate our brain, eyes, and fingers. Our body and soul are not meant to be lazy. The human body needs some positive and enjoyable activity besides routine exercise. We still h...

INTOLERANCE

Image
Hello all, Intolerance We have been impatient for centuries, and it is in our instinct, but now intolerance has also complicated our behavior.  We as humans should take some positive criticism to promote our personality, but the situation is quite different. We do not even want to see such a person around us who is against our views. Such behavior of “I am perfect” is like living in a fool’s paradise. Nobody is perfect; we all have some flaws in our personalities. Each one of us is different from others; our perspective is different in our approach to some subjects and may vary every time. We should listen to others with patience, whether the opponent is true or not. Generally, it gives us the experience to understand others' personalities and views they have about us. Intolerance Intolerance is becoming a general behavior globally; internationally, it can be illustrated very easily. Recently, polling results are being criticized in developed and powerful countries. ...

HAPPINESS- SPREAD THE COLORS ARROUND

Image
Hello all, Happiness and enjoyment never come from an outer source; they are within us. If we are light in mood, we are happy, and if we are heavy, then it is sadness. Sometimes we are between both moods, and that is seriousness. All moods carry with them different feelings, and everyone loves to live within one’s comfort zone, but happiness is a step ahead. It brings a way to flourish in our life. It introduces us to the brighter side of our life. It affects everybody in a different way; one can enjoy it while watching a movie with a handful of popcorn, another playing a game, and another feeling satisfaction in reading books. Many people love to wander around, some watch TV, and many gossip. Few like relaxing in a separate place with a cup of coffee or a drink in their hand, while some others would turn the music on, hit the woofers, pick up the pace themselves, and force others to dance along too. Everybody has his own perspective towards life. The versatility of life...

BEING NOBLE IN POLITICS

Hello all, Politics was once an interest of intellectuals, with a big reputation, and many people played a leading role in it. That was the time when politicians achieved milestone decisions and built a reputation for themselves with name and honor. They also got recognized by rulers for being noble and consistent. It was understood that the elite class, having money from generation to generation, would participate in politics, and other classes were far away from this interest. These great politicians not only tried a lot to set their nations free from occupying powers but also provided a platform for them with their concrete decisions. Being a Pakistani, how can I forget the great names like Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Liaquat Ali Khan, Johar brothers, Fatima Jinnah, Begum Raana Liaqat, Sardar Abdul Rab Nishtar, who took part in politics for a noble cause.  Worldwide personalities like Abraham Lincoln, Mao Zhe Tung, Mahatma Gandhi, and Nelson...

FESTIVITY OF BASANT

Image
Hello all, Festivals are meant to give pleasure to people. They are not only a source of enjoyment but also create a positive image of a nation. They also promote the culture, food, and traditions of the natives. In modern times, festivals have also become a source of business promotion, whether it is on a town level or at an international exhibition. I opened my eyes to Lahore city, where “Basant” was one of the most popular festivals of the spring season. “Basant” is a festival that has been celebrated in the subcontinent, especially Punjab, for a long time. It was celebrated to welcome the lively spring, which brings back life to nature. This time, when the blowing breeze blooms with the fragrance of flowers, there are colors spread everywhere on the ground. Young hearts would warm up and want to color the sky as well. The festivity came with the tradition of inviting relatives and friends over and preparing delicious food all day long. In the ’90s, it changed i...

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY: ITS VALUE AND IMPORTANCE ACCORDING TO ME... Hello all, Women's Day  8 th March is “Women’s Day”, a day to remember the continuous struggle of this gender for their rights. The world is celebrating the day to salute and acknowledge the worth they have. This day has been celebrated since 1914. We must not celebrate the day as a formality (as many do), but we need to admit their importance in our society. If you do not admit it, they are still vibrant in their roles. A Woman A woman is kind when she is a mother, a guide as a teacher, a friend as a sister, a partner as a housewife, dedicated to duties as a co-worker, and so on. They ruled, they played, served, conquered, entertained, and succeeded in all the ways of life, but were less appreciated than they deserved. It took a long time to win recognition. Give this attitude an end and state a new way of equality and appreciation. Being a father of two loving girls and a naughty boy, I f...
