MEN!!

Well here I’m back(where the hell did went at first place?). u must be thinking Now what? Well that’s a good question. Actually when I wrote an article about ‘women’ I never thought that I would draw such a huge criticism on what I wrote. Almost everyone said that it was simply rubbish, I was way too one-sided and biased, because one of the good qualities of a good writer is that he should be neutral writing about both sides of the picture. Can u imagine even some ‘women’ association staged a protest in front of my house and demanded that I should immediately show the other side of the picture as well because I have hurt a lot of people’s feelings. Even in my own house my sister was about to break my head. OK I accept my fault I shouldn’t have been that biased and by having a big heart(well not the real one) I should have written the other side as well. I stand guilty and as now to make up for what I did I have decided to write about the other side of the picture(hey I’m not talking ab...

'Great People...'

'Man I am really impressed by him, he's so intelligent infact a great intellectual...' 'Wow, he's filthy rich, i really envy him...'.. these days people are usually judged by their brains or wealth not by hearts! Last night i was thinking that the best among the peoples were Prophets and after them, Sahabis of our beloved Prophet Muhammad(SAW). What made them the best? No doubt, Allah 'selected' them out of all humans, this being enough to make some 'the best' but still what were the common characteristics in them?? Were they really brainy? intellectual? filthy rich?? or did they had strong logical and analytical skills which outshined others?? I personally believe (and i can be wrong as well) that they were normal human beings (mostly not very sharp or brainy), but yea they were different as well...simplicity, humbleness, forgiveness, self-lessness, loving, soft-heartedness, (only) GOD's fear, strong character, inner purity are the few chara...

Women ;)

I don’t know what’s the problem but whenever I sit to write something I just don’t have anything to write, my mind goes empty, I start thinking about all the stupid things in the world and this time when I got tired of thinking I just simply picked up the phone and dialled my best friend, not bothering that it was 1 A.M. (although I had great scolding from his parents, but they just can’t understand that if I they don’t let me talk to him, this world will be missing out one of the finest articles in the history of literature). And when at last I managed to talk to him I just instantly give him the job of thinking about a topic for me to write, which he after advising me, “Salman, history will remain indebted to u if u stop writing”, gave me the biggest shock of my life when he told me to write on “Women”. The phone nearly dropped out of my hand, my ears couldn’t believe what he said, “WOMEN”(read it aloud). I mean for God sake I can write about the extinction of dinosaur from earth ,ab...

Life...

Life is a hard and tough journey on a long road. It just seems to continue and continue but one day we realise that it has passed too quickly without making us realise. Life offers lot of choices but not many chances. Its just like as if u r going on a road and suddenly u find many roads coming out of that road and u have to choose one, among all of those, and many times if we don’t know where to go we choose a wrong choice and regret latter on. Life’s also like this if we don’t know how to pass it we’ll end up taking a wrong decision and regretting afterwards. As the famous proverb says, “time and tide waits for none” same is the case with life it never waits for anyone. We have to go with it otherwise we will left way back in the darkness with no light around, not knowing where to go from here now? What to do? Many of us think that its not in our hand to pass our life as we want, it depends much on our luck, circumstances we have to live by, people we live with. They believe that we ...

HOPE...

The little child had remained awake all night to see the dawn – the first dawn of the New Year. At last the time came for which he had been anxiously waiting for.  His eyes filled with wondrous excitement as he saw the sun rising up from behind the mountains. As the first golden rays touched his face, his eyes lit up with joy - a joy so profound that he himself could not understand its intensity. But as he closed his eyes in prayer, slowly he realized the significance of the whole event.  For him, it was not just daybreak – not merely a natural phenomenon but the symbol of a new start, a new beginning. He turned his face towards the light and all shadows were in darkness. The dawn appeared to him as a gleam of hope – a hope for a better world. And as his weary brain conjured up delightful visions of the future, his tired eyes closed. He hoped for a world in which he would be free; free to do anything. He hoped for a world, in which he would have the basic facilities ...

WHY???

Tears come down from my eyes Suddenly my eyes have learnt to cry I haven’t cried for long As if I had forgotten ‘how to cry?’ Life was just like clear clouds on the sky Passing by swiftly not bothering to stop But then why after such a long time am I crying? Why???? Is it because I just want to cry or Or there’s some other reason But then I never did anything without any reason Then how can I cry without any reason? There must be some reason But if there’s some, what difference does it make? Will I, then cry no more? Is it because I’m sad? But then y am I sad? I haven’t been sad for long Then why today? There must be some reason Is it because someone hurt me? But then everyone hurts me So why shall I cry? Or is it because……..

Return of the 'writer'!

One of my friends recently started his own blog ; which as always was a stunt by him to gain cheap popularity...whether or not he got successful in his ulterior motives... at least it motivated me to make my own blog (just to clear any confusions like muneeb it has nothing do with any cheap popularity...those who know me, know that i dont need it :P). If u search wikipedia for 'blogs' it says that its more like an online diary...hmm to be very frank i am not sure what will come here during the coming days, though i m sure that u wont be able to have 'a complete insight' of the ingenius in me but for sure u will be lucky enuff to have a glimpse of it :P. Writing had always been a passion for me (the pride of being the only boy out of around 150 in the batch to have an "A" in English Composition is something that will stay with me all my life ;) ) which got more passionate when i joined GC Lahore gazette...and it reached to its height when all my friends who rea...
