Myopic Eyes

Myopic Eyes

I never wanted to wear glasses because I thought I would look like this : Plus at that time (1995), wearing glasses meant that you are not cool, you are a nerd, a book-worm, an alien, and all similar negatives were attached to this fashion accessory of today. I don’t remember when this problem started, … Continue reading

Of Bathing and Motivation

True that! Great line from Zig Ziglar… has been a hit ! A Super-Hit! Bathing & Motivation : The relationship between bathing and motivation is strange… and funny too! The first ‘service’ we receive after birth is that we are given a bath , the lady who has just given birth is highly motivated about the newborn, and the guy next to … Continue reading

When Flooded, Turn Around! Don’t Drown!

When Flooded, Turn Around! Don’t Drown!

It has been a furious monsoon so far . . . In view of the recent flood situation triggered by stormy rains, the Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) department of my office circulated an email today on staying safe with our vehicles on flooded roads. I would like to share points of the same so that … Continue reading

Arid Days and Barren Nights

Arid Days and Barren Nights

In simple words, they call it ‘Writer’s Block’ . . . I started writing in 1992 when I was in grade two, it was an article about the invention of matchstick, the publication of this little article on matchstick lit the writing fire inside me and I continued sending my flames (pun intended) to different magazines … Continue reading

Legends and The Legacy

Legends and The Legacy

What else could I have inherited from a tribe of poets and writers except the literary heirloom?! My forefathers came from India empty-handed (The 1947 divide) , they started their life from the scratch for settling down in different cities of Pakistan, mostly in Rawalpindi and Karachi. Although all of the assets and property was left behind in Amroha , … Continue reading

FM Nostalgia

FM Nostalgia

Memories are always super-sonic! “Clack” , the old, rusty padlock greeted me with excitement as I forcefully twisted the only key available to access the abandoned house. For a couple of moments, everything remained silent. I felt as someone with dark eyes was staring at me from the neem tree in the right corner of the … Continue reading

The lost ‘W’

The lost ‘W’

Winds of memories touched my soul when I just put this WordPress ‘W’ as my blog’s background image! Of all the alphabets, I think I got straightaway familiar with ‘W’ when my schooling started. It was much easier to remember as it was an ‘M’ upside down and I started putting every alphabet upside down to see … Continue reading
