In the quest of meaning of leader I sometimes come across to many events, books, and people even, and that’s what happened again but this time I was not expecting it to happen. I was coming out of café after having some tea, few guys were standing there when I was passing by them one […]
Today started as just another Eid day, with the usual getting together at my cousin’s place where we all meet for lunch (while some look after the sacrifice). Sometime after noon, my father received a phone call and then somehow everything became vague, and pointless…a young cousin had passed away and all I could see […]

Pitched upon the scorching desert,
The tent of Husain lay,
Encompassed round with Satan’s hounds…
Upon that black sad day.
They numbered less that eighty strong,
Women and children too,
While Yazid’s thousands stood around,
Awaiting the Fiend’s lure.
Oh! How valiantly fought that pitiful few,
Against Yazid’s wild murderers,
Fought with a courage unequaled in time,
Fought with fierceness that was surely Divine.
The earth […]

I was really struck by the above photo that captured this past weekend’s torrential downpour in Karachi. According to CNN, the monsoon rains in Pakistan’s commercial capital “killed dozens, cut power to 15 million and broke a 32-year record.” Dawn on Monday reported that 41 people were killed by “rain-related deaths.”
CNN spoke to fellow […]
For an IDP * like me, it’s just like Déjà vu,
I’m returning back to my home, in angst and blue.
In debris, bombshells, dead bodies and bricks,
I’ll seek my home where I played with my Sputniks*.
No matter in place of fruits, if hand grenades grow,
You can’t question fate if it’s destined to deathblow.
No matter […]
For the past ten years, I have been the master of emotional blackmailing, specially with my Mom. Be it Eid, or Ramzan, my birthday or any other occasion, I know how to get my way. So it’s only natural that my Mom would learn something from me after all this time under my supervision.
It was […]
Eid-e-Wiladat-e-Maulood-e-Ka’abah Mubarak!

Internal politics is no longer a secret for the whole world. We are being observed and analyzed. I don’t know why such a negative opposition. Politicians vow to live and die for people, but i ask why they don’t sacrifice for their people and country. Why strikes? Why rallies? Why protest? Why they don’t take […]
Life is so busy….
Too much work, assignments, music and vocal practicing and the Car Hunt, Life is so busy indeed..
Just a few minutes ago I had a lovely evening chaaye (Tea) with my lovely Nani. She has been at ours for a stay over since last week but I, being busy and too caught up […]
We used to have following poem in high-school English books, I just happened to look at it is wonderful how differently I could interpret it after all those years!
THE NEEM TREE
My lovely Neem,
That intercepts sun’s scorching beam,
Yet bears the heat all day
Without the rain’s refreshing spray,
Thou charm’st the wanderer’s woe away
With soothing shade.
How strong you […]
