Karachi Chronicles Chapter 14
When travelling overseas, one of the things that I get the most pleasure from is visiting local convenience stores and supermarkets.

Although it may be slightly materialistic and safe, beyond this, I find it an interesting window into the day-to-day life of local citizens. This fascination probably stems from my time living in Japan, where konbinis† are quite literally on every corner.

The Silent Chapters of A Life
M Mehran Chapter One: The Stranger in the Mirror Rayan stared at his reflection, his face pale under the bathroom light. At twenty-seven, he should have been brimming with confidence, but instead he saw hesitation staring back. The kind of hesitation that doesn’t come from one failure, but from years of quietly choosing comfort over courage. He had a decent job, a quiet apartment, and a routine that rarely shifted. Yet, inside, a storm brewed—a restlessness he could not name.
