The visuals from Gaza are peremptorily gruesome, petrifying and ghastly. Every single day, infants are left incinerated, geriatrics annihilated and women obliterated. Israel has unleashed this brutal assault on the Palestinians and has made their already miserable life more calamitous. The hopes of Palestinians and those of Gaza’s people especially are pulverised. The atrocious onslaught […]

The world was never free of variance or disputation. Difference exists in the very rudiments of human beings. X and Y chromosomes and the paradigm they adopt to annex, ascertains the orientation of body parts one shall have at birth. Despite the presence of disagreement in the very fundamental essence of nature; bearing the weight […]

It is bewildering. They say the biggest accomplishment is accepting that you’re wrong. We quite often hear Pakistanis acknowledging the fact. It’s been more than seven decades of us proclaiming how we’ve brought this doom to ourselves. Yet the solution seems afar. It is as if we’re stranded on an isolated island with a repeating […]

A remnant of the colonial era, the Pakistani education system is nothing short of an absolute disaster. Turning out more and more cataclysmic with each passing day, it is crippling the very core, and diminishing the hope for any improvement in future.

Bleak, weak and miserable: that’s where they’ve left our Pakistan. A homeland to 22 million people is drowning deeper and deeper into the dark seas of utter devastation. The economic, political, administrative structures are in ruins for decades, but now the social and psychological deterioration of Pakistani people is something rather new. Seldom do Pakistanis […]

Economic crisis is creating great turbulence in Pakistan currently. People strive to survive in the arduous circumstances. The sole act of living has become a huge deal. The uncertain future situation of the country is building up immense mental pressure on common man. People are seen advising each other to flee the country as soon […]

Since its inception in 1947, Pakistan has strived to survive gigantic challenges. Destabilisation in all fields, including political, economic and administrative, keeps haunting the country, and the nation has failed to achieve even a shred of stability. Immemorial times have passed since the country has been “gifted” with turmoils. Its citizens, particularly the working and […]

Kyiv, the capital and most populous city of Ukraine, has been facing extreme trauma for the past many months. Though life in the city is now returning to normal, the conflict is still going on.
