Sandwich between Sadness and Happiness.


I read somewhere that life is like a sandwich. Birth is one slice and death is the other slice. What you put in-between the slices is upto you. Well let's give it a try. 

-Sad part of the Sandwich.


There are times when I have to write, it is a compulsion. Then there were* times when I felt like writing. I wanted to share my thoughts with everyone. I was missing that feel so I stopped writing about me, I still am missing the perfect feeling but somehow my conscience tells me I should write.

Abdul Sattar Edhi - A Living Saint.

Abdus Sattar Edhi

I am pretty sure will not be able to make people realize how much I am inspired by this personality. I am sure I won't have words to describe what a great human being he is, well I don't even need to as his work speaks for himself. What I do know for sure and can tell is that we as a nation are short of good people, sincere people who can be an inspiration and role model for us young generation, we need people like him to stay with us as long as possible, and I pray to Allah that PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY FROM US, and that he has a long and healthy life ahead.

I Wanna Reborn.

Written By Hameem.
I came back from my trip and I told my mother all the things I learned. I told her the story of the dark paths. I shared my fears, my concerns. I described people I had met there living in simplicity and harmony with nature. I have just cameback but I would love to return there ... My mother asks me not to so I practice experience that will allow me to survive ...

I close my eyes and I sit on the feet's palm, I bring my head closer to  my  knees and I let my hands go behind. I'm in the fetal position and I abandon myself to the ground. I do not think about anything. I take a long breathe. Around me, there is only joy and happiness. The warmth and security. I am synchronized with nature, that is when my fingers, my muscles begin to shiver.

I am no longer a fetus but a seed. I thanked the earth to have fed. Indeed the earth gave heat, water and essential to survive. But i keep trembling  and do not want to remain in the dark, I want to go see what's up there. At the Top. Then I come out of my cocoon, tearing the walls and reache to the surface. It is a painful and slow process. It ends up in a field, then I ran against the sky. I grew, my body hardens, my branches are always looking for the sky, I wanna go higher, yeah higher. I feel rivalling the mountains and playing with the sun. But though my branches extend over my  pain turn to be more intensive. So it is no longer, I screamed.


I was born. Again.

Champions Trophy- Just a Bad Dream.



Written By: Bareera Rufi

So the much awaited Champions Trophy has ended for Pakistan. It was just a 9-day journey for one of teams which was rated as favorite to win the tournament. Team Pakistan couldn't even win a single game and remained last in both the groups combined with 0 point.

WWF ECO Internship.



Working for the WWF was something I have always wished for. My first introduction with WWF was during the school days when we had these ‘Spellathon’ tests. The amount of marks we scored from hundred was the amount of money we had to pay to preserve the dying species around the world. Thanks to the ECO internship offer I was able to not only refresh those memories but also to learn a lot.

Make Yourself Happy.



I always thought there were two types of people. Ones who make others happy and the ones who depend on others to make them happy. But I figured out there is a third type as well .. Ones who make themselves happy.

I have been giving it a thought. It has taken me days to actually figure out... it is us who will make ourselves happy. We don't really have to depend on others for that.
