Have you ever thought that those schools you go in they are just institutes to turn you into a perfect slave? We expect our kids to be the perfect leaders by sending them in a system that is designed to create slaves for the leaders. Agree or not but our education system is very judgmental. The kids with good grades are praised by everyone and those who are not getting good grades? What about them? The school I was in, there they divide kids into three sections. Most Racist School ever! 1. Super Section (The Extraordinary kids who they think we're the most intelligent) 2.   Section A (Kids who were getting below 90%) 3.      Section B (kids below 80%) 4.   Section C (in this section were those kids about whom the school administration thought that they had no future) I was in Section A, but I was always having my ups and downs, so I was constantly in a battle because I was one of the weakest students there. Sadly, our system is not designed to make leaders i

Congratulations! You are graduated now. This is the moment that multinational companies were waiting for. A new Pakistan, A new generation with a new spirit. Now within a few days, you will get an email from a big company that they are waiting for you to come and join and take charge. Well, guess what. You are an idiot! Yes, I know you have a degree, but they are not going to hire you, but they will prefer someone who may not have a degree but have the skills they need. Our education system is cursed. They expect you to learn all by yourself and when you get that paper, that proof of your graduation you think that now you are successful but then the real misery starts because now your parents can’t afford more of your education fee and your father tells you the bad news, look, son, the electricity bill was very high this month and neither can I afford to buy enough bread for the house so since you are graduated now, can you quickly get a job for yourself so there can be more food o

Pakistan's Film Industry revival started after the release of the film " Khuda K Liye " by Shoaib Mansoor in 2007. A lot has to be changed. Picture quality and scriptwriting and direction. Before that, we were only making B grade films with very unrealistic acting. Where the world was making films using new tools and techniques, Lollywood was still living in the '80s until movies like "Khuda K Liye" and " BOL " stepped in and changed everything. So whenever talking about the revival and steps of reforming the Pakistani cinema it is not possible not to mention those films. So our revival began from pretty serious topics and then our first action movie " War " was made that was also a hit and Pakistan's first Blockbuster movie. Talking about the movies in 2019, a lot changed. Mahira Khan and Mehwish Hayaat being the spotlight girls of our industry, It does not matter whether the movie is good or not but they are always pulling th

Finding yourself is a lifelong process and you may get lost in the process. You are the product of your life. Whatever you do make you who you are. When we were born, we were nothing but just a bag packed with bones and organs and veins which are connecting our entire system. We were nothing and as time passed our actions started to define us. What we are today is because of the things we did yesterday and the things that we will do today will decide tomorrow. “You reap what you sow” Life is about creating yourself. You were nothing before and what you are today, is because of your actions. Your actions made you who you are. Therefore, you will never be the same person after a few months or years from now. Because you will be coming across different experiences and those experiences will change you. Hence it is useless to find yourself. Our approach should be on creating a better version of ourselves instead. Comment below and let me know what you think?

You do not need Hard work or strong determination to be successful. They are one of the key factors but whatever you may do, simply hard work and determination will never be enough. I want you to overcome the fear of being judged. There is too much peer pressure I know.  Do your relatives judge you on every second day of your life? Do your parents compare you to the son/daughter of your uncle? Are you being stressed out and depressed because of being told by your parents and your relatives that you are falling behind, and everyone is getting ahead of you? Well, I feel sorry for you because they are the people who should buck you up no matter what because when you go outside, society is already doing its best to break you down. Read Carefully! If you want to be successful, then you need to break out of this. I am just like you. There is too much peer pressure on me as well but what I did was I break through it and I stopped listening to the negativity and started working on s

Driving from Fort road I turned towards the food street to go to the Haveli Rooftop Restaurant.  The moment I entered the food street it just felt like I entered into a different world. I was getting filled with excitement and my mouth was getting all watery because of that aroma of the savory food in the air of the Food Street, but I came for the famous  Haveli Restaurant.  C olorful stalls. T he beautiful people in colorful dresses. The lights! I moved towards the Red Neon sign Board saying, Haveli restaurant. Its entrance was all bright red because of the Neon red light. Taking the elevator to reach the rooftop I could hear the music  that was being  played up above. Finally there I was. The scene was just mesmerizing! I felt like all my worries  were gone as my heart was getting submerged in the view of Badshahi Mosque  from above there and the music that was being played, the harmonium, the old traditional drum, the sitar, it was just marvelo

Fibre … Fruits … 15 minute walk …? NO!!! F irst ask yourself that why you want to lose weight?  What is that you are going to get after you will lose this belly fat?  Can you really do it? Or you are just like everyone else who on the start of every year say,  "My new year resolution is that I will lose weight and eat a healthy diet" Or it is only because of your boyfriend or husband you want to lose your weight for?

This is the image that came into my mind when I first time heard the term Bridal Shower . My cousin’s wedding was around the corner and he told me that his wife is having a bridal shower. So that was pretty embarrassing to me of my cousin telling my about something related to his wife taking a shower. Because I did not want to look stupid so I just googled it and realized that it is just a pre-wedding party kind of thing. Now as I was growing older I realized how these Bridal showers are trending and everyone is doing it. But who are not doing it? The poor families! I see every rich family having bridal showers and being showered with gifts but those who truly deserve it are not getting it. Is this what Bridal Shower is? To my knowledge or what I have read. This trend started when once the daughter of a rich man fell in love with a miller’s son and wished to marry him. Her father threatened to withhold her dowry. Despite that, she decided to take the risk to marry him and when
