World Affairs And Beyond

This man with his water melon stand was standing right at the middle of a street entering Fawara Chowk in Peshawar Saddar. The water melons sure have attracted some honey bees. The man posed for a photo, but I was focused on the honey bees sitting on the water melons. Later I was told that he was posing for photos all this while. :-D A street in the busy Peshawar Saddar.

When nothing in the world satisfies you anymore, you should know that you have lost yourself somewhere in the humdrum of life. When nothing you do turns out well, no matter how much effort and money you put in, and nothing seems to go your way, it is you who is missing. You do not exist. At that point in life and time, you need to find yourself first. You need to feel your own existence. You need to get in touch with yourself, your inner self. With the "You" in you. Detach yourself from the world for some time. That is what you must do, get yourself out of the rush of life. In order to seek yourself, shutout everything material, all the cares and worries. In a month's duration or even less than that, you will be able to find yourself. Once you have found yourself, everything will seem to fall in its place. Things will make sense to you. You will find satisfaction even in the slightest and smallest of things around you. In this quest for yourself, you will

Many people tend to complicate their lives. They find some kinda fun in doing that. I consider that an illness of the mind. Keep things straight and simple. Sometimes we may even find ourselves in complicated relationships. Just ask yourself; do relationships really have to be complicated? Do things around us really have to be complicated? Why do things get complicated? How do they get complicated? It happens only when we can't let go of what we should let go of. When we can't find the time to attend to a situation or a problem, and keep putting it off. When we don't solve a problem on time, it definitely gets complicated. Problems keep piling up, and that is how you end up in a mess. So just try to find a solution to things on time. The sooner the better. Do not putt off things till tomorrow.

I was going shopping for my little sister, when I thought I'd capture the moon with my cell phone from the moving car. One of my very nice friends and a dear brother seems to be obsessed with the "moon" these days. I have yet to find out what moon that is. The moon seemed to be going my way, and I'm glad my cell phone didn't fall off. :-) The moon is at her full, and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light. The airs that hover in the summer sky Are all asleep to-night. --- William C. Bryant

The depth of life matters more than the length of life. Just like quality is more significant than quantity. The quality of our life can also be measured by how deep we understand it. We would rather live in peace with our surroundings having love in our hearts for our fellow beings, than living longer with hate in our hearts and creating mischief in the world. Even when it comes to relationships, I believe that length does not matter as much as depth does, and depth does not depend on length. It seems as if we cannot live without a specific relation in life, and it seems to matter alot, even though it is troubled and it kills you each day. The truth is that the length of time you have been acquainted with someone makes you get used to that relation, even if it is not a healthy one, and there is no way to fix it, you still feel like it cannot be replaced. For you to be more productive and lead a quality life, where you can add to beautifying the world and your surroundings, it is very

Corruption begins at school level. In Pakistan, young students, girls and boys are taught how to step on other people to get ahead in life. How to snatch other people's rights to get ahead in life. The result of the board of intermediate and secondary education BISE Peshawar was declared on the 16th of June 2010 at 8:00 am. A brilliant student Sahar, of Presentation Convent High School, had taken the exam too, and we were all eagerly waiting for her result. Even her teachers and more than half of her school was waiting impatiently for her result, believing that she would top the board, as she is the most intelligent and perfect student of her school by all means having an IQ of over 125/150 at her age. She has always scored above 90% in her school exams for over 10 years. Reason is her brilliance. Today I'm forced to write this because I just got news from her school that she secured 92% marks in her 10th 1st term home exam. She topped her class again in the home exam. While in
