Is it our lives which has become so fickle or is it our frivilously predictable mindsets ?

Life is a measure of experiences and all the moments that one has been through and what that all made us into. I graduated almost 4 years ago, most torturous yet formative five years of my life,but i feel,  it all did not really matter! What really matters is where am i now at this point of my life. Everyone and everything evolves, nothing remains stagnant, change is the ultimate truth of this life. About 10 years ago I thought of becoming world's greatest surgeon! Yes, and i got myself enrolled in a bachelors program of medicine and even managed to attain a bachelors degree in medicine and surgery. phew!  But as of now i think and function differently. What should i call upon this capricious attitude of mine, that am I a loser? I might have gotten afraid of the hard work which is required to pursue this career. I must not be realizing the amount which had been spent on me,when my parents could not even afford it. or simply I am being ungrateful and irrational. ...

The life of this world is nothing, but a place for fun and games. We all strive to achieve our goals in this world, but in that process life ends from within us, and the only goal remain is that final destination which is death. No matter how much we try to act ignorant, and keep living this life as if we will stay here permanently. But nothing changes the sacred truth, we all have been sent into this world, to return back to almighty Allah. But is that it? Certainly not.  What we do with this life is actually the thought to ponder over. Well everything is clear and out there, we all know the difference between right and the wrong but why are we all struggling within ourselves? Why aren’t we happy? My late father was 64 years old when his soul departed this world on 25 th  of March 2020, may his soul rest in eternal peace. Amen, I was right next to him, it feels surreal to see death of one of the most special person in your life right in front of your eyes....

It was two hours past midnight, full moon was shining right on top of her emitting enough moonlight, to magnify her silhouette. She was sitting there all alone, drenched in her wet hairs, her eyes pouring down tears, she was gasping and crying all breathless, gazing up at the sky, asking cure for her devastated state of mind. She couldn’t understand what was wrong with her? She was pretending to act all fine and normal for years, just how as she was suppose to act, but she couldn’t just do it anymore. She couldn’t put up that act of her perceived personality, she felt completely hollow and empty within herself. She felt that she gave away whatever she had in her, and now she was left with that large vacuum of despair and emptiness. Something dreadful must have had happened with her? Why was she crying her lungs out pleading for help and mercy? She was in her 20’s, with an average stature, and she had a dusky colored skin, She used to live with her family and ...

As tongue twisting as it sounds, dish washing is genuinely like that job which you hate doing, but have to get succumb to it, because you want to eat those scrumptious meals and pickles and all those greasy stuff, as many times as you want to, but there isn’t any house help available, especially amidst this lock down. To be truthful, I have my whole family living together, and for us eating is like breathing(Exaggeration!),a lmost every hour every other person is found slurping or gulping something from the kitchen. Moreover, we have our beloved pets living with us,so there are separate set of utensils for them as well. Yes, our kitchen is open 24/7 for every creature, with our sink welcoming dishes like, one of those not so spacious but stuffed buses on the road which we see accommodating, countless passengers, as many as they can load, and even then, there is plenty of space left on the top, so they fill that area too, and if that is also occupied then we can see peopl...

It was almost 11:00 in the morning, during the early days of January, bright sun was shining vividly. I as usual went out on my terrace just to take in some warmth and for fresh air. I see a young boy in a grey colored shalwar kameez with a jacket on, right across my home, he looked very timid and tired, gazing at me with so many questions and wishes in his eyes, at least that’s what I perceived. He was carrying this long blue colored mop which was even larger than his own stature; he looked rather disheveled, lanky and curious. He was feeling uneasy, as he could see me sitting comfortably there sipping my cup of coffee listening to music and relaxing, while his job was to clean and mop the floor, and hang the washed clothes outside on the hanging stand. One can clearly manage to notice the difference in the lives of two individual, being present in the situation, at a same time, but having a paramount difference in their state of mind and current circumstances. Do...

One fine day you wake up and you feel numb, you don’t feel any energy or zest within you, you don’t even feel like talking to anybody. Why? Because last night was extremely painful and miserable, and not just last night but several other nights, and all of that suffering resulted from the choices which you made throughout your lives. Is it just me or anyone else can relate to it too? Well in the real world these sentiments are termed as depression. to be honest i have been advised by my   family, friends and acquaintances to consult a therapist, and i do admit to visit a psychotherapist once but it was of no help. Why? because I knew what was happening with me, I was ignoring myself, I was escaping from my own reality, I needed to consult myself first before anyone can consult or help me ever. So before this pandemic happened, I voluntarily opted to quarantine myself, to take a break from all the outside noises, and to listen to my inner voice, I chose to calm that...

Vanity if you really consider it, is an out and out insignificant portrayal of a rubbish mindset. You accumulate certain materialistic gains which has got no importance in its broader aspect, if your goal, you think, is this life only, then it might give you comfort to a certain extent, but there is another life after death and that is actually the eternity. I believe this life which is blessed to us, is for the preparation of afterlife. As humans our inherited nature is fragile, anxious, ungrateful, disputable and impatient, and the whole idea of our birth is to overcome these traits, then come out as an entire new being, possessing virtues of courage, stability of mind, patience and to become generously grateful, that’s when we shine, and that is how we reach our full potential. As we have got great examples of most renowned extraordinary maestros, whom we still remember and worship, but they all remind us that no matter how great you are, you will eventually die one day. ...
