Bad habits
And forgiveness was granted
Fahad's feet were not touching the ground with joy. He could not believe that he had become the owner of a new house. He loved his ancestral home very much, but now the space there was starting to feel a little cramped. The children of the three brothers were still young, so one day the three brothers sat together. The elder brother Farooq addressed the two younger brothers: "This house was built by Abu Jan with a lot of hard work. Although his business was not very large, he somehow built this house for us little by little.

The Greedy Thug and the Wise Villager
Once upon a time, in a peaceful little village nestled among green hills and whispering forests, people lived a simple life. They were known for their honesty, hospitality, and pure-hearted generosity. The village had little in the way of wealth, but it was full of kindness. In the center of this village lived an old man - wise, soft-spoken, and observant. His words carried weight, though they were rarely acted on. Most of the villagers admired him, but few truly understood the depth of his wisdom.

The Silent Mind
In a discovery that could reshape neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and even philosophy, scientists at the Global Institute for Cognitive Research (GICR) have found compelling evidence of a new form of thinking — one that occurs entirely without language, mental images, or any recognizable internal monologue. The research, released earlier this week in the journal Cognitive Frontiers, introduces the concept of “pure cognition,” a previously unidentified mental process that may underlie many of our most intuitive thoughts and decisions.

I Cheated… and It Made Me a Better Partner
I never thought I’d be the kind of person who cheats. It sounds self-righteous now, but I genuinely believed I was above that. I had opinions—harsh ones—about people who strayed. I judged them in silence. Called them selfish. Weak. Cowardly. I was sure I would never become the villain in someone else’s love story.

The Viral Morning Routine Everyone Is Talking About—Does It Really Work?
You’ve seen the videos. A guy wakes up at 5 a.m., drinks something green, runs 10 miles, journals like a monk, and somehow has deep life clarity before sunrise. Social media makes it look effortless, aesthetic, and borderline superhuman.

Venus Buried
The girl in the graveyard is your best friend, so you take her home. The night is a bruise between you, a blotch of rogue in the passenger window; the colour of fruit left out to fester. The body pries at her seatbelt, a finger, then two. The radio echoes static, the body shuffles in her seat. You study the face; the similar slice of jaw, the nose humped from where a baseball had hit her at twelve, just slightly off centre. The skin like a rain-licked plastic bag. The stink of musk and sulphur. You want to look away but you cannot. She's so beautiful, even like this. Your headlights rake warbled slits through the dirt road, a yellow like jaundice. Your hands are stiff from the cold, your lips cracked. The girl beside you is dead and you are bringing her home.

Life After Summer
Life After Summer It always begins with the wind. That soft, familiar shift in the air — when the summer heat starts to loosen its grip, and evenings become kinder. It’s not quite autumn yet, but the world begins to cool, slowly, almost thoughtfully. Just like she had.

Full of feelings and questions. Top Story - August 2025.
Who is my mother? And what has she become? Sometimes it feels like a completely different person stands before me—heartless, distant, cruel. What turned her into this? Money? Time? Boredom? Or something much deeper that I’ll never understand?
