I Fell in Love with a Stranger on the Train. Here’s what happened next.
It started with a missed bus and a hasty decision. When I boarded the last train to my destination, I was running late, carrying too many bags, mentally cursing my poor time management. It was quieter than I had expected for a weekday. The kind of silence that makes you feel every cough, every turn of a newspaper page. I found a window seat, exhaled, and stared at the dim city passing behind me.

🌑 Beneath the Silent Mountains
In the remote highlands of Pakistan, where jagged peaks pierce the heavens and silence drapes the valleys heavier than snow, there lay a forgotten village, carved into the mountainside. It was a world where the earth was hard, the air thin, and hearts even harder. Here, love was not a language you dared to speak aloud. Here, women were shadows and men were sentinels of tradition, guarding rules older than memory itself.

Why Do We Often Think Life Will End Soon? – An Islamic Perspective
In Islam, the thought that life is short or nearing its end is not uncommon and it’s not without purpose. This feeling is deeply connected to our spiritual nature, the concept of Akhirah (the Hereafter), and the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Book Review, The Unbreakable Spirit: Nelson Mandela's Long Walk
LONG WALK TO FREEDOM BOOK REVIEW BY ZAHIR SHAH The Genesis of a Lion: Roots, Ritual, and Rising Consciousness Mandela begins not with politics, but with place and tradition. His vivid recollections of his childhood in the rural Transkei – the rolling hills of Qunu, the strict but formative customs of the Thembu royal court where he was raised, the initiation rites marking his passage to manhood – establish the bedrock of his identity. This grounding in African culture, history, and communal values is crucial. It counters the apartheid regime’s narrative of African inferiority and rootlessness, presenting instead a rich tapestry of heritage and dignity. We meet the young "Rolihlahla" (meaning "troublemaker," prophetically), shaped by the wisdom of elders like Chief Jongintaba and the discipline of missionary education, which introduced him to both Western ideas and the harsh realities of racial prejudice under colonial rule.

Voltaire’s Double Punch
What if the most powerful critiques of society came not from lectures or revolutions, but from biting wit hidden in short, fictional tales? Voltaire’s Candide and Zadig might seem like simple stories at first glance—adventures full of absurdity and misfortune—but behind the satire lies a depth that continues to echo through centuries. Why do these two works, written in the 18th century, still resonate today? Because they strip humanity bare with humor, irony, and uncomfortable truths. Voltaire doesn’t just make you laugh—he makes you think, sometimes without you even realizing it.
