  Mental health awareness is an essential component of a healthy, functioning society. As the world becomes increasingly fast-paced and demanding, mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout are becoming more common across all age groups. Despite this rise, stigma and misunderstanding continue to cloud the topic, often discouraging individuals from seeking help. Raising awareness about mental health is critical—not only for individual well-being but also for building supportive communities and reducing the overall societal burden of untreated mental illnesses. First and foremost, mental health awareness helps break the stigma associated with psychological disorders. For decades, mental health issues have been wrongly perceived as signs of weakness or personal failure, rather than legitimate medical conditions. This misconception leads to shame, secrecy, and, ultimately, a delay in treatment. When society collectively normalizes conversations abo...

  The Social Network: A Study of Ambition, Betrayal, and Isolation David Fincher’s The Social Network (2010) is more than a dramatization of Facebook’s origin story—it is a sharp, layered exploration of power, friendship, and the personal cost of success in the digital age. With Aaron Sorkin’s razor-sharp screenplay and Jesse Eisenberg’s unforgettable portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg, the film dissects the ambition that fueled one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century while exposing the emotional vacuum that can result from unrelenting pursuit of power. The narrative unfolds primarily through depositions during two lawsuits: one filed by Eduardo Saverin, Zuckerberg’s former best friend and business partner, and the other by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who claim Zuckerberg stole their idea. This structure allows the film to present competing versions of events, reinforcing the theme that truth is subjective, especially when filtered through ego, pride, and be...

  Modi’s War Against Pakistan: A Political and Strategic Perspective Since Narendra Modi took office as the Prime Minister of India in 2014, relations between India and Pakistan have experienced several periods of heightened tension. While there has not been a formal war, the term “Modi’s war against Pakistan” has become a popular expression in media and political discourse, often used to describe India's aggressive posture, especially in response to cross-border terrorism, and its broader geopolitical stance. This article explo res the key events, motivations, and implications of Modi’s approach toward Pakistan. A Shift in Strategy Modi's government brought a shift from the traditional Indian diplomatic restraint to a more assertive, sometimes militaristic, response to Pakistan. The BJP’s nationalist ideology and its strong mandate in elections have enabled Modi to take bold steps on foreign policy, especially with regard to India’s western neighbor. The first major tu...

  Next Expected Prime Minister of Pakistan As of April 2025, Pakistan is witnessing a significant political transition. The recent general elections held in February 2024 led to a hung parliament, where no single party secured an outright majority. While independent candidates backed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) secured the most seats, they were still short of forming the government. This opened the door for a coalition led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), resulting in Shehbaz Sharif being elected as the Prime Minister for a second term. Shehbaz Sharif, a veteran politician and the younger brother of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, is known for his efficient governance and administrative skills. As the former Chief Minister of Punjab, he earned a reputation for delivering large-scale infrastructure projects and managing crises effectively. Now as the Prime Minister, he faces an uphill task: steering Pakistan out of a sever...

  I Love My Pakistan Pakistan is not just a country; it is my identity, my pride, and my heart. I love my Pakistan with all my soul because it is the land where I was born, where I grew up, and where my roots are deeply embedded. It is a land of history, culture, diversity, and endless beauty. From the snow-covered peaks of the north to the warm shores of the Arabian Sea, Pakistan is a land of breathtaking landscapes and boundless potential. Every corner of this country tells a story of resilience, courage, and hope. Pakistan came into existence on August 14, 1947, after a long and hard struggle led by our great leader, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The creation of Pakistan was not just a political movement; it was a dream of millions of Muslims who wanted a separate homeland where they could live freely according to their faith and values. I feel proud that I belong to a country that was built on the principles of justice, equality, and unity. Whenever I see the green and ...

  Christmas and Muslim Brotherhood in Pakistan: A Message of Unity and Respect Pakistan, a country founded on the principles of religious freedom and tolerance, is home to diverse religious communities, including a significant population of Christians. Every year, on December 25th, Christians in Pakistan, like their counterparts around the world, celebrate Christmas with devotion and joy. What makes this celebration particularly meaningful in Pakistan is the growing spirit of Muslim-Christian brotherhood, where many Muslims join their Christian fellow citizens in acknowledging and respecting the significance of the occasion. Christmas, known as "Bara Din" (Big Day) in Pakistan, commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ (Hazrat Isa A.S.), a prophet who holds a revered status in Islam as well. Muslims believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus and honor his teachings, even though they differ in theological beliefs from Christians. This shared reverence becomes a bridge for unde...

  Easter: A Celebration of Hope and Renewal Easter is one of the most significant and widely celebrated holidays in the Christian calendar. Observed in the spring season, Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, an event that is considered the cornerstone of the Christian faith. It is a time of joy, renewal, and spiritual reflection for millions of believers around the world. The origins of Easter date back to the New Testament of the Bible.

This miraculous event symbolizes victory over sin and death, making Easter a powerful reminder of hope and salvation. Easter is not fixed to a specific date but is a movable feast.

  Wisdom: The Light That Guides Life Wisdom is one of the most treasured qualities a person can possess. It is far more than just knowledge or intelligence; it is the ability to make sound decisions, see the deeper meaning of life, and respond to challenges with maturity and understanding. Wisdom comes not only from books or education but also from experience, reflection, and a sincere desire to grow. It is the guiding light that helps people live a meaningful and balanced life. Unlike simple knowledge, which is the accumulation of facts and information, wisdom involves understanding how to use that knowledge in the right way. A wise person knows when to speak and when to stay silent, when to act and when to be patient. Wisdom teaches us that not everything deserves a reaction, and not every problem needs to be solved immediately. It teaches the value of time, patience, humility, and compassion. Wisdom often comes with age, as people experience the ups and downs of life. Howe...

  The Last Train to Sehwan The sun was setting behind the crumbling skyline of Karachi, painting the city in shades of orange a nd dust. At Cantt Station, amid the chaotic orchestra of horns, shouting vendors, and screeching metal, an old man sat quietly on a wooden bench. His name was Babar Ali, a retired schoolteacher with eyes that had seen war, love, and far too many goodbyes. In his wrinkled hands, he held a faded photograph of a girl—no older than seventeen—with a smile as bright as spring. Her name was Zulekha. Fifty years ago, they had made a promise. If fate ever pulled them apart, they would meet again one day—in Sehwan Sharif, during the Urs of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. That promise had been buried under decades of silence, marriage, children, and sorrow. But something about this year was different. Something deep inside Babar whispered, She’ll be there. He boarded the last train to Sehwan. The train was a rickety chain of metal memories, carrying a mixed crowd: a ...
