Throwback from 2022
Seems like it was yesterday but it's been two long years. Oh, time slipped and escaped from my hands.Still, smile is on my face because i try to spend each little moment of it.
This collage is memory of 2022 which was lying under pile of images but i found it again. I am happy to discuss that beautiful day but not sure that my words would justify the day.
`It's time to sit in the train of memories and let's travel back to October 2022.`
It was new semester which started in September. Burden of studies was not much. All of us were at relief. A wild idea ran in our minds. That idea was not crazy but just simple and raw one. We planned to visit any worthy place in Islamabad. Conversation ended and any worthy place got name of Daman-e-Koh. A green and beautiful place to visit.
Motorcyles were standing in parking area and waiting for us to kick them. On the other side, i was excited to see *Daman-e-Koh*. I was standing in my white shalwar qameez and waiting for others.
In just minutes or more mintues; we reached-
But but, but- i was not that much excited that i would make victory sign. Uzair was may be super-excited.
Aha- a monkey sitting on a rock and posing for picture. Could we ignore him? Nay, never. It was center of attention. His pose was valid and good to be copied by us.
That's why we copied his luxury style for our pictures. Overall, the vibe of surrounding was really matching my thoughts. Well, we were busy in catching some pictures.
I also sat on the trunk of poor tree. While writing i am thinking that why we were just snapping our pictures. Infact we should capture photos of scenery and of high hills.
There were Sikh brothers and i was eager to capture photo with them. I think this was the best memory of that day. Look at that cute little boy.
In the above picture, you are seeing Hammad who is acting to be a great thinker of this recent era(XD). He might be thinking about what to eat and when to eat. Although, he is smart but it doesn't mean that he doesn't eat.
Here's is me- standing besides a stall. I don't really remember that why i stood and asked my friend to capture a photo. Still, it contributes to memory.
Well, night was knocking on the door but we decided to first eat and then go back to hostel. Unfortunately, we didn't captured photos of food. We delighted ourselves with burgers and cool drink. After enjoying the day we were ready to go back.
It was the last picture(selfie) which i captured that day..... I know my lips are parched- may be i was about to utter any words. Actually, i was calling them to be in the frame but they were busy with their mobile phones.
That's how-Day flipped and now it's part of memories.
Thank you so much for scrolling down.
Spring is now here
These days i am living my Wednesdays like weekend because Wednesdays are off-days from academic work and other related stuff. Still my Wednesdays are happening days.
Today, i got up late. Ahhh, i hate getting up late. I want to see sun of the morning. Well, i didn't wanted to kick off my day with complaints. My mood was fresh and new.
My head had burden of "fee" which i have to deposit in bank. I was heading towards bank but stopped and stood for a moment to see deep, clear and sensual beauty of white pure flowers.
I wanted to touch these flowers and wanted to feel them but hesitated because these are beautiful and delicate. I didn't want to harm these lovely beauties of nature.
**Good bye..... Flowers- i have to go to bank, although, I don't want to leave you.**
Stepping towards bank i was feeling bored but i played a song which is my current favorite. I was enjoying and moving my fingers along with the rhythm of song.
_The bad thing of the day; i wasted almost 2 hours in bank. There was a long queue Infront of me and i was idly waiting for my number.
Well, after long wait, my number(182) appeared and i paid fee. I was exhausted that i don't want to walk. But, I limped out but i became excited to see Cornetto in a girl's hand.
I went to shop and bought a Cornetto for myself. A chocolate one to enjoy the air of the day. I was walking towards *Jashan-E- Baharan*(Festival/Fair of Spring).
Eager kite runners were standing around kite stall. They all want to buy kites. Little kids and adults are mingled up and enjoying kite running.
Different stalls were there. People were walking and groups and taking analysis of each stall.
Clay cups attracted my attention. I walked towards desi chai stall and captured some pictures there. I wanted to take one cup of tea(chai) but i could not enjoy cup of chai- oh, my pocket was empty.
On front side, A old book stall where you can buy variety of books. My eyes were searching for "*Shadows Of The Pomegranate Tree*" by Tariq ali. No, i am not interested in this book but it's part of my course that's why i was searching. How unlucky i am! I could not found that book there and also didn't asked the shopkeeper about the book.
Here's come my favorite part. Seasonal fruits and desi food.Dozens of oranges were piled up there. Do you want to drink a glass of orange juice?
What you call it? *Pani-puri* or *Gol-Gappa*. Crispy, yummy and favorite desi item of many people. There were so many craving buds standing around the stall of desi items.
After taking a round we walked to university. Everything is turning green. Spring is here and everything becoming young. It feels good to see everything in it's fresh look.
It's impossible that you cannot recognize this person. It's me- tahastories1.
I sat near to garden and snapped a picture of flowers.
Dog walked and now he was tired. He wanted to take rest. I went near to him but he was fully calm. He was in incognito mood and about to sleep.
I am also feeling sleepy that's why it's time to go.

My ideals
Parents are the ideals for their children. From parents we learn about this world and view this world through their eyes. Parents dedicate their whole lives for the happiness of their children. As i said, parents are ideals for their children.So, children want to become like their ideals.
I have learned treasure of lessons from my parents. Their lives are books to me from which i can get immense knowledge. Parents go through all thick and thin situations, walk under sun and remain awake all nights just to provide comfort for their children. From surface, these lines sound bookish but it's reality. Whatever i am today! I am only because of my parents because they brought me in this world and gave all things which i wanted in my life.
Since my childhood, i have seen struggles of my parents. My father is true and fine picture of resistance and resilience. His passion is so firm that even at the age of 44 he is confident and struggling person. My father was not a businessman from start. Infact, he achieved status of businessman through a journey. Previously, he was a farmer and we use to live in a village. Gradually and persistently, my father gained that status on which he is sitting with glory. My father has seen every difficult and easy situation in life. In my memories books, i still remember that time when my father didn't had money to buy basic amenities of life. But, he didn't bent down and worked hard with all heart to achieve everything he wanted. I have learned hardworking and passionate attitude from my father.
Although, my father is not that much educated but he always guides me in a way that is far more professional than all professional counselors. He is the best in this world. He gave me lessons of moral and ethical values. He is epitome of compassion, love, ethics and moral values.
I was searching all the pictures of my childhood and i found this amazing photo.In this photo, my father is holding my hand and both of us are smiling.
My mama- a pure soul with beautiful heart. I have ever seen my mama face with hope. She is such a hopeful personality with optimistic mindset. I have learned that ; no matter how adverse situations are there but always remain optimistic and hopeful about situation. All through her life, my mama is hopeful about her children and about a best future. This trait is entrenched in my personality. I am clingy sort of person with my goals and objectives. Hope is the best thing in the world which keeps us awake in this beautiful life. There are tough and hard times but yearning for an easy time is "hope". There is shine in my mama eyes and that shine is actually shine of hope.
I am so grateful to Allah that i have such caring and amazing people in my life who always guides me in every situation.

I am so happy to see pumping of Bitcoin cash. My heart is just eager to see more more pumping.
Hurrah !
Bitcoin cash is now standing at $477.81
Are you all happy??
No borders
Just a couple minutes ago, i was reading a book in which i was reading about human rights. Article 13 of 1948 Universal Declaration of human Rights,which unequivocally declares everyone's right to the freedom and movement. There were two things which were creating confusion in my mind. First the word "unequivocally", may be it is also a mind boggling thing for you that's why i googled it. I got to know that meaning of *unequivocally* is unambiguously. Second confusion was that "how much freedom is given to everyone to move?" For this, again, i googled and got to know that this freedom is available "within in the borders".
Within the borders/limits
Limits/borders exist everywhere in the world. We all are living in bounded world. There are many restrictions and rules. But, be honest to all of you, we all are wild animals who don't follow quoted "*rules and regulations".*
**Utopian World?**
Considering ideal world looks dreamy. We cannot consider this world a Utopian (ideal) world. Because ideal world will no more be real world. Infact, this world is dystopian and we are happy in this zone. I would not say that we are *happy* but rather use word learned the way to live in this zone.
But as you all know that it's requirement of blog(prompt) that we have to consider this world as border-free world! (A wish___).
I would be a Wanderer
If there will be no borders in the world then there will be no concept of trespassing and we can easily enter in others land. Infact, there will be no others and everything will be one. Ah, this seems a strange, weird and utopian concept.
I often think, how easy are birds !! That they can fly from one country to another country. Luckily, there are no security threats because of these birds(exceptions are still there). I always wanted to be like birds. Yes, i am using *escape approach.*
I want escape from all these highly entrenched things of life. There will be more freedom and countries would be care-free as there would no questioning of Security.
In my fancy list, there is a long long list of countries which i wanted to visit. There is Italy, Dubai, Singapore, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, Canada and many others. I want to see cotton candy skies of each country. I want to breathe in the airs of world. Everything sounds dreamy for me because i don't have much budget and money to afford such luxury in life. Still, i have dreams to visit all these beautiful countries where history has long written and unwritten books. There will be day when i will be able to move to other countries easily.
Living in fancy life is easy. It's easy to find a way for escape. But, in real there are boundaries and to visit other countries we have to spend money. It's all game of money and this world is profit driven. For a while, considering all these things in imagination sounds out of the world.
Trip to Lyallpur Museum Faislabad
On 12 of February, my family decided to travel to Faisalabad. I was eager to explore Industrial Hub of Pakistan. Before going to Faislabad, i was searching for best spots to visit in Faislabad. I found that Lyallpur museum and Clock Tower are most visited spots in Faislabad.
My heart was jumping to explore the historical treasure in the museum and my eyes were yearning to capture the sights of Famous Clock Tower.
We were in our car and i was reading book. It was great and fine day with sun and little fog outside. I was seeing the roads and trees from car. Sometimes, my eyes were looking outside and sometimes i was focused on pages of book. This cycle was going on till we reached Faislabad.
**Clock Tower Faislabad**
Locally, Clock Tower is famous as ***Ghanta Ghar***(گھنٹہ گھر). Ghanta Ghar is one of the oldest monument in Punjab,Pakistan. Before this visit i just heard about *Clock Tower* and you can also read the history of Clock Tower from Wikipedia.
A beautiful,red and tall building which is standing with pride in the middle of the city. Clock Tower is center of eight consecutive markets(Bazaars).
This tower was formally known as *****Lyallpur Ghanta Ghar***** as it was built on the command of *****Sir James Lyall***** who was deputy Commissioner of Lyallpur (Modern Faislabad) . Seeing such a beautiful architecture infront of me was treat to my eyes. I was standing infront of this building and trying to observe the architecture with keen eyes.
You know, in the middle of roads there were some attractive things to see. I could not put my camera off because everything was looking unique to my eyes. After visiting Clock Tower we headed towards ****Lyallpur Museum****.
**Lyallpur Museum**
For history lovers what would be more ecstatic than visiting museums? It is feeling and it is vibe. Infact, i should call it **complete aesthetic.**
When i stepped into museum, i felt like i living the old time when things and people used to be simple and pure. Ahh, Pictures were not allowed. But, i gave an application to management and luckily they approved. It was only due to readcash because i mentioned in my application that i want to write a blog on readcash and i will use photos for informational and educational purposes.
As i said that real aesthetics of indigenous people were exhibited there. Everything which was kept there was a full reminder of our roots and history.
Religious history was showcased there. I stopped to read information about ***Buddhism*** and how **Buddhism** is in roots of this beautiful land.
Standing still i was not in mood to move because i was drowned in my thoughts. Yes, i deeply love history and everything that is entangled with history.
There were so many things (tools) which are no longer in use in this superficial society. But, thankfully these tools are nicely preserved and kept in the museum.
Inside the closed mirror box, there was Fauna of the region. Many of birds and animals are now extinct and some are under the process of Extinction.
Charkha (spinning wheel), most famous in Punjabi culture. In both counties, either it's Pakistan or India this tool is quite popular. If we seek in the history it is deeply rooted in culture. Sadly, now it is available in just form of "handicraft" and no longer in use.
Here you can see old golden color's utensils. These things reminded me of my maternal grandmother's home because they still have this kind of crockery.
`Jewellery of old times`
Along with jewellery there were other items which were in the cage of mirror.
In the wooden gallery, there were portrait and pictures of heroes who served and played part in history of Punjab region.
Punjab region gave birth to many religions. One religion which got birth from this region is Sikhism. Baba Guru Nanak was the Founder of Sikh Religion.
History of Baba Guru Nanak and his portrait was present in the gallery. I was reading all the details which were given there.
It's good to remember your people and to always keep in mind history of heroes who shaped our identities.
While discussing the history of India and Pakistan, it is crucial to mention colonization period because without it we can not describe post colonial effects and movements that shaped the identities of people.
Different communication tools were showcased in the mirror. I was walking and reading the names of all those devices. Now these devices are replaced by new and modern devices. Yes, now these are antique and old and part of museum but once these were new and modern too!
Standing on one side, i was observing the shapes and forms of radio. There were gramophones, radio and some other communicative devices.
Wow, this golden color radio captivated my attention so deeply. Believe me, i was making rounds around this beautiful corner. Time is so changed now!
If we are in Faislabad then it's impossible not to talk about Textile because this city is famous for textile as it's Industrial hub.
It's a colorful Charkha. Charkha is colorful and vibrant. How gracefully it was presented there.
In handicrafts, there is no match of this city. This city has so much contribution in handicrafts.
There were colorful handicraft items which were truly fascinating and extremely beautiful. These all items are product of colorful culture.
Carpets with beautiful cultural designs were hanged there. The wooden machine which you are seeing above is actually to make carpets.
On one wall, there were small statues of all the legendary heroes. I touched them with my hands and my heart was thankful to them.
A small beautiful mud home. It's depiction of old times when people used to live in this kind of homes when homes were real homes.
See in the picture which is shown below, women sitting together and working their home chores. These are memories of old days.
My eyes stuck on wall where Pakistani currency notes were presented. These are still in use,but not all of them.
After spending hours in museum and exploring the culture we stepped out of the building and headed back to home.
There was a horse who said good bye to us. It was freezed!
See you till next time💫.

Colors in Life
Yesterday, it was the time of evening,when sky was switching it's color, i was walking outside. While walking, i spotted leaves and just leaves.
These were hanging like clothes hanging in the air. These rotten leaves were pale yet most beautiful.
Look at those curly hairs of leaves. Nature is true artist and it has filled color in everything of life. My eyes were focused on thin veins running in leaves. These veins were patterned in intricate manner. This pattern is beautiful and natural.
Wall's color was looking similar to color of leaves.Birds were flying over these leaves and nearby trees. But, birds were scared of me as i was wandering there. Birds have detective eyes as they can see any hunter coming towards them. Ahhh, i was not their hunter and they should understand this.
You just have seen dry and old leaves, but here you can see greenery of life. Autumn is not fully gone and spring is not fully welcomed. Autumn and spring both are clapping at each other means both are showing their color. Somewhere plants are young and somewhere they are oldies.
Every single design is different. I think "***different***" is not suitable for nature. Yes, "**unique**" is an appropriate word to use.
We all have heard and read that plants grow in soil, but, at the same time we have seen and observed many plants and trees coming out of walls and from bricks. ***It's Fascinating***.
These beauties are ***timeless beauties*** as these beauties are not slave of time and remain fresh in every time. Although time has made wrinkles on the faces, lashes fell down, lips are parched but beauty is still living like a nymph.So, You see, Beauty's definition is limitless. ***Beauty lies in the eyes of seeker***,We all have heard this thing . So, I don't want to drag this thing again and again.
Here, it is melon's picture. Obviously, it's original picture of melon. My mother was peeling melon and i drew my mobile from pocket to click a picture of it. Oh no, it was not actually my mobile but mobile of my aunt and i was capturing photos on that phone.
In kitchen, food items were under the process of making. I was sitting in all calm and seeing what's on stove. Fire was flaming up with different colors and bread was getting heat.
Again, i stepped out of my home to see what's going on outside. Hens were walking and searching for their food. With complete astonishment, my eyes were seeing their struggle to search food. It was a little hard to capture them in camera as they were going away from me.
It was a beautiful day which i saved in my mobile's camera and every beautiful thing was looking more beautiful than ever. This raw, simple and original beauty is love and life.
I hope these beautiful clicks from life also made way towards your heart and clicked your memory.

Walk in Village
Evenings are therapy. I love to sit in silence. Silence and evening both are close friends. Silent hours are hours of deep reasoning. Fields are best place to think and fell deep in thinking.
Native area gives sense of belonging and it feels full home. Evenings of village are beautiful. It's been fifteen days since I am in my village. I take stroll in the lush green fields of my village.
Raw beauty of village is heart captivating. Eyes find peace in such beautiful sunset. This walk is one week old when I was walking with my friends. Our mission was to take view of natural healing beauty. It's all healing beauty which gives comfort to eyes.
We made our way in the fields. We were talking about the *peace* which we were getting from this beautiful place. Sky was looking like a canvas on which different colors were sprawled irregularly yet in calm manner.
You are looking at trees void of green leaves but ,on the other side, fields are full of greenery. Look at these fields where greenery has taken bath with water.
The small patch in between two consecutive fields is reminder of my childhood. In young days, I used to walk on these patches in my old village. These grey patches are bounded with green weeds and muddy at some points.
I was about to slip because of muddy patches but I kept my balance and controlled my body not to take slap of mud and water.
Almost every field here is filled and loaded with these kind of yellow flowers. These flower are Identity of Punjab region. Whenever I come back home I always love to visit fields full of these yellow mustard flowers.
I LOVE these barren trees. Yes, I really love these trees without any fresh look. These are perfect in their imperfect and stressed condition. When spring will come and air of youth will flow towards them then they will become young.
You are noticing that round shape orange falling down in the skies? Yes, the same orange to which you call ***sun***. I only have one word for it in my dictionary and that's ****BEAUTIFUL****.
Seemingly, water was looking still but we thought to give it a little potential. It took momentums through our hands. To make some photos we sat on patch and disturbed the peaceful water.
What should I wrote about my own photos? I am just silent over these photos but these are some good clicks.
I was posing like I am seeing out of any window but here the plant's rough columns are working as window.
I will edit these photos and post them on other social media platforms. Isn't this good idea? Hahaha.
When we were about to go then I saw two people who were going through the fields.
It was time to go back home as sun was almost gone. We had to go back home before darkness. I will see you next time as there is always a next time.

My birthday 💐
My friends knocked at the door. I was surprised to see their weird exciting faces. I was surprised because they gave surprise with surprise appearance. They planned to celebrate my birthday.
Yes, Valentine's day ends and my birthday starts. Both things of love come together. My partners were eager to have a stroll around the village. We went on little walk around the fields and captured some amazing memories.
you are noticing me? I am trying to enter into camera's mouth. I was acting crazy and it was all due to two crazy souls walking with me.
In the fields we were mainly enjoying the photography and playing with words. Words were roaming from one ear to another. Yes, we were talking. That's how evening shifted to night.
When it was night time, we decided to cut the cake and cherish cakish moments. Oh my God! My ears are still in the spell of those exciting voices, shrills and sounds which i heard last night.
Friends are so special part of life. They make your life a beautiful one. In terms of friendship, i always remained struggling but at this time i have some good friends.
After receiving gifts from my friends i was happy. No one really cares about gifts but cares about who is giving that gift and with what passion the person is giving you gift.
In the above photo, you are seeing two beautiful roses in my hand. These are also given by those single friends to enjoy the single and simple lifestyle.
Well, i was enjoying the night because my friends have generated the vibe of enjoyment.
Accidentally, balloons color was similar to my dress. It was complete coincidence but i love these kind of coincidences.
Moaz gave me a gift covered with newspaper and it was giving simple aesthetic and artistic vibes. You know vibe is much used word in all of my blogs( hahaha). Along with newspaper packed gift, there was a beautiful gold color chocolates which i really loved.
Here another Birthday cake(giving barbie vibes). It's also my birthday cake and i cut this cake at home with my members of family.
Eshal, hassan, Minahil, Jannat and all other kids were clapping in super excitement. They gave gifts to me. I am not a big birthday fan but these all things make me fell in love with birthdays.
`"Happy Birthday To Me"`

Swat Trip
**Hello Everyone**
It was class tour towards Swat and Malam Jabba. 13 January 2024 was the day which was selected for tour. According to plan, all students have to be ready at 4'O clock of morning.
Somehow or the other, I managed to get up early in the morning just for the sake of tour. I was excited and eager to see high mountains of Malam Jabba and my eyes wanted to see black grey river of Swat.
We were 57 students sitting in university bus. Most of students were in the spell of dizziness as they were clicking their eyes so fast and heads were leaning. I was also feeling sleepy, but was determined to enjoy each little perk of journey.
Swat River
We travelled for 6 hours on motorway and finally we reached *Swat River*. We were sitting on the one side of Swat River to have breakfast. Having breakfast with view of river looks dreamy.
I could not stop myself. Holding cup of tea I stepped towards rocks of river. I stood on watery rocks of river and sipping tea. My mind and heart was absorbing the beautiful view and my taste buds were enjoying the taste of tea. A perfect delight on cold sunny day.
Have you noticed one thing? Again, my dressing colors are resembling the colors of nature. My jacket is resembling with the rocks and water of river and my hoodie is also resembling with rocks.
Ski Resort & Hill Station
There were still miles to go. When sun came over heads then we headed towards *Ski Resort and Hill Station of Malam Jabba*.
Clock was ticking around 2 of drowning day and we reached out destination. Pearl Continental Hotel is nestled in between beautiful green and young hills.
I haven't seen paradise but I am sure that paradise would be similar to this heaven like place. To breathe in this area is like calm comfort relying on heart. A perfect view without any complication.
Long pine trees were standing on hills like security guards standing Infront of official buildings. We went there with having idea of snow fall but there was just a kiss of snow fall. Ahh, we missed snow falling.
Well, it was time to go high on hills, that's why we bought tickets of chairlift. Talal was sitting with me on chairlift and cool breeze was striking on our cheeks. Eyes were capturing ariel view of nature.
Finally, all of us stepped on the top of hill. Now, intensity of cool breeze became wild but it was lovely and harsh at the same time.
I was swinging with my all body parts(XD). Looks like I was fulfilling my fantasies related to hills and mountains.
There was one sitting area on hills. A perfect place to fell deep in thoughts and thinking.
I sat there to think. What I thought? Oh, I am not aware, those were wild sort of thoughts, unable to recall and recollect.
I can even peruse pages of books and I can write while sitting there. As I said, it's a perfect place.
Now, we came down and searched for snow. Look here it is;
You know, I was capturing my photos along with the photos of scenery because I wanted to save myself in the gallery of memories. When time will take it's wing and I will become old then I will miss this golden time.
Some amusing people were playing football. Some were feeling the nature, some were dancing in the love of scenery. Everything was full of delight.
Well, it was a good day which ended with cup of tea.
Can you find me in the picture?
See you again!!

Knock Knock
Knock knock!
Weekend is ending now and it is announced to put pause to all extreme fun and now get ready for the Monday. Hectic working day is calling you loudly.
Well, this weekend was kind of good weekend. Sudden plan was made by my room-mates. There was chaotic situation in my room as everyone is soaked in pdf, assignments and exam preparations. Amidst all these chaotic things we decided to take relax-time. Yes, for students studies seem chaotic. It's sort of mental torcher to them.
Last night ,when it was chilling night of saturday, we packed our bodies into hoodies and dusted our bikes. I forgot to cover my head with cap as i was thinking that there will not be much cold weather but freezing air was striking my head so badly. But, i didn't complaint to air. It's still okay. What i could say to air?
Park-view city is located in Bani gala and it's 7km from my hostel. It's posh area so i can just visit but not spend days and nights there as it would be costly.
Excitement to see fountain,water, buildings and lights took us to this place. I was eager to see all these things but when i reached there was excitement diminishing [ as i was seeing all those things which i expected].
I was thinking to capture every moment but my mobile is not very supportive in capturing good photos so everytime i have to borrow someone's mobile to click pictures. I am thinking and saving to buy a new phone. With the passage of time i will do.
Leaving aside these thoughts i was happy to see fountain. Buildings were high and colorful and for those who are elite. What i can do?
After every thirty minutes songs were being played and fountains were entertaining with colorful water. Water was dancing on the song. My friends was capturing photographs.
I was vibing and dancing on the songs and the good thing was no one was noticing me. It was close to middle of night when we decided to go for dinner. We went to *Savours foods Islamabad* where we had dinner. Then, then, then we came back to hostel and slept as we were tired. So, i spent my weekend outdoor.

New Year celebrations
**Hello, Writing Warriors**
Days are going with speed and it's 8th day of this year. It's like years are squeezed into months, months into days and days into hours. Days are starting facing sunshine and ends with same sun downing in the sky.
I celebrated new year before new year
Events are constant things in my university. Everyday there are many events and celebrations. Before start of new year celebrations there was an event to cherish the time. It was cultural event. Dj nights, lights and songs were the vibes of those days. I was jumping high on songs and mad in the fever of dance.
That's how i said good bye to my 2023. That year was different in many aspects. Recalling all those aspects one by one will be strange and it will take time to recollect all the memories from my mental box. Isn't it?
it was taken at that time when fireworks were about to start and everyone was standing with their mobiles high in the air. Lights were on and weather was cold. Warmth of joy kept us awake to enjoy that firework's event.
My eyes were shinning as fireworks were reflecting through my glasses. Memories of bygone days were foggy in my mind.
On thar event, there was noise, voices and yelling of enjoyment. Road was blocked and obviously traffic would be cursing all those creatures who were witnessing fireworks and dancing on the road. Well, they are used to it.
Holding bundles of celebrations, i headed back to my home. There was comfort and leisure. Still, there was no excitement jumping in my mind. New year was approaching and i was under my blanket because fever attacked me.
Where was excitement?
Amidst all usual and unusual things happening in my surroundings, i was a little happy to welcome the things.
That excitement was no more childish now as it has grown. Now the excitement is narrowing down itself;
***- Mentally prepared about the new year***
***- designing to do list***
***- defining and redefining of goals***
Overall, you can see that excitement for new year is now embroiled into goals and preparation. Now excitement has changed it's shape and face.
Last days of 2023
Last days of last year were happy one. I was with my friends and family. That was fun time which i spend with friends and family. I discussed things with my siblings, watched dramas with them and gave time to my parents.
My friends visited me and we took ride of motorcycle while mapping the village's street.With friend, matter of discussion was future, which is tensed topic. Isn't it?
Traveling
Now comes the main thing, ***New year day.*** It was engulfed by traveling. Yup, i travelled from my home to my hostel. My academic studies were starting from 2 January So, i did traveling on that particular day. Although, i did travelling but i enjoyed that part too.
Well, after reaching my hostel, i treated my stomach with food item which was giving me pleasure.It was another day of my life but still, it was different one.
Thank you so much for scrolling down*.
Odd in Holidays
Hello, Writing Warriors
Holidays are going on and we all are enjoying this refreshing time of holidays. It's a break from all hectic activities of life. Because, at the end of the day we all are humans and not machines.So, we need rest and recharge. These holidays are a kind of source of leisure and to get recharge for speedy life.
Our today's discussion is about those holidays traditions which are odd or may be off. I was doing brainstorming from last night. And now, finally came to some points on which i shed light in this post.
Sleeping Like Cats
It's bit funny yet strange activity which i observed during holidays and also on festive season( On Eid) that everyone is inclined to sleep.
Everyone includes *sleep* in his schedule. No matter what is happening around but people will sleep in middle of the day( that sleep is called as taking 😴 nap). But, after this nap laziness always remain in the eyes 👀 of people.
Let me talk about my homies, they sleep right after having feast on special days. In the beginning, it looks strange to me that why everyone is sleeping even on such special day of Eid and why they aren't celebrating this day or why they aren't jumping with excitement? These type of questions always remain in my mind.
In start, i was not used to sleeping at all on special occasion. You can say that excitement always gives me jolts to remain awake. But, as time passes i adopted this habit and now i am also in the team of people who sleep on special days.
But, it's okay to take deep and heavy 💤 sleep on holidays & on special occasions.
Firecrackers
In celebrations, people go crazy and they express their happiness with firecrackers. On special occasions like new year and Shab-e-baraat these type of activities are observed. I feel bad that why people do this. Actually firecrackers and fireworks 🎆 are harmful to our planet.

There is no doubt in it that i also like these firecrackers and fireworks but at the end of the day we should think about our planet and our environment. Yesterday, when i went out to have walk, i saw plastic everywhere. This is really bad. We all should stand together and we should play part in cleaning environment.
High Prices
During holidays and in festive season, it is common that marketers hike up prices of everything. It looks like they are causing inflation by themselves. Everyone wants to get profit in these days.

In the month of Ramadan, when we get holidays of one complete month, then it is observed that market's price hikes to mountains. It's become difficult for middle class & low class people to survive in this situation.
This system of taking high margin during holidays is not good and this system needs to be censor. Although, officers of government do check and balance but this whole vicious circle is a not ending circle.
Don't stop here
Many of us considers life as race. If you stop at any point you will be trampled. Yet, you can stop. You can stop to take view, take breathe and to feel the life. If you always remain in hurry then you will get lower chances to feel the steady air passing by your ears.
In race, morning, evening and nights will be equal. So, I don't consider it as race. I just believe in my own seat. I just remain conscious about myself.
It can be mean behavior. You can call it spiteful thing. Call whatever you want to call it. It's your life and your ways of saying and speaking.
Leaves are falling from trees and it's fall season. Just in few months, buds will open and flowers will bloom in the garden. Sunshine will look beautiful and we will call it spring.
That's life.
Sometimes it's down and sometimes it's up. You see, there is a constant word "sometimes". It's beautiful.

Everyone has his own perspective/lense to judge the world and everyone sees world according to his own vision. So, you will always listen this phrase from every person "i see the world from different angle"
Well, now let's talk about myself. I don't think so that there is only one particular habit or thing which is changing my lifestyle. I am into process and i think this process will never leave my hand until death.
**Optimism**
Still, there is one prominent thing that outshines my personal life and also professional life and that thing is *being optimistic and habit of doing work on time*. Although, i am also into procrastination and i always try to eradicate this habit of procrastination from my life. I am improving in many ways and this will of improving is pulling my lifestyle towards best version.

Get Up, Sleepyhead
"Hello, Writing Warriors"
Today's blog will all be about sleep. Ahhh! Sleep is my pure love,but these days my sleeping schedule is disturbed. There are number of factors which are disturbing my routine of sleep. In those factors the most prominent is my room's condition.Imagine living between 14 students, wouldn't be a challenge for me to live in that room. It always looks like *competition for survival* to live in that room. May be you have watched the indian Television reality show Big Boss, have you watched that? Only then you can imagine,XD.
Sleeping Like A Cat
You know what is the meaning of sleeping like a cat? It means sleeping by turning off all the worries around. I have cat attitude in my sleep.
There remain no worries around me, whenever i sleep. So it is also like a challenge for others to wake me up. I wonder that how people have weak and timid sleep that they get up with just little noise? I have quite contrasting sleep here, as i don't get up with noise around me. Recently, my sleeping mode is shifting and i am starting to get up with my alarm but it happens just like once in thousand times.
Let me tell you more about my sleep. Last night, when i entered my room(which is more like hall), everyone was talking but i was in mode of sleeping. So, i slept without even hearing their noise. That's swag style of my sleep. But, on serious note, my sleeping is disorganized and i spend most of the time in study room where i study books, even still i am in study room.
Talkative Alarm
It would be interesting that our alarm could talk, isn't it? But there is a prominent problem that i will show my anger to it and i might break that alarm into pieces.
In case if i want to make calm on myself then i will try to add my mother's voice. Then i don't think so that i will show anger to it.
Oh, when it comes to what this alarm will say, then it will say;
Oo,Taha, sleepy head wake up it's morning!
Yes, i am missing my mother's voice which i used to hear at home but as i am staying in hostel so here i can only use alarm.
Talkative alarm will give me human voice which will be strong enough to wake me up otherwise, i just turn off my alarm everyday.

Life without social media
Buzzing of notifications on mobile is hateful?
Yes, it varies from situation to situation. Honestly, we can not stop our hands from clicking on those notifications.
*****Social media is our lives now*****
It would not be wrong to say that our whole life is just *Social media*. Every aspects of this young generation revolves around social media.
****Quite fake environment****
Social media has introduced fake environment. We get inspiration in no time and we lose ground also in seconds.
Faces on social media are with eight dimensions or may be more and from every dimension there will be a new story. You know what's twist? That we just see one dimension of face and we start judging and fantasizing.
**What if there will be no social media**
Just planning for social media lifestyle would sounds good but if i talk about real implications on this plan then it would be hard.
****FOMO****
This strong term FOMO might be included in everyone's vocabulary as this term is strongly related with social media. It's Fear of missing out.
If i will erase social media word from my life then the first thing which will move in my direction would be Fear of missing out. Many questions like I have to talk to mama on WhatsApp?, What will be happening on the other side of the country? And piles of other questions will also pop up in my mind.
****Sense Of Freedom****
On second stage, i will be happy that i got freedom from fake environment of social media.
This freedom will give me a push to explore and rediscover the life beyond mobile's world.
****Will Explore Kingdom of books****
I would like to sit for hours and hours and will just observe the lives of others. Life has so many stories which are hidden. There is a pressing desire in my heart that i wanted to write a book. Break from social media will provide me ample time to spend on book writing.
Even, if i focus more on Book stuff then i would say that books will be thing in which i find more pleasure in comparison to social media. It would be a nice opportunity for me that i can surround myself with books. My boundaries will be books which are border free. I can roam around under the realms of books.
****Family & Friend Time****
Social media has shrunk the time for relations. We are trying to hold these relations of blood with weak glue of social media. Social media is the consumer of relations and it has created a sense of alienation among relations.
Whenever i sit with my friends and family, they mostly use mobile phone. This habit of using mobile phone/social media during interactions or conversation is a worse habit in my point of view.
If i will remove social media then i can give maximum time to my parents, siblings, extended family and to friends.
Concluding Thoughts
I can enjoy the food without scrolling on instagram. I can sit in garden full of flowers without even making a streak on snapchat. I can embrace my skin tone without even watching beauty standards on youtube.
Infact, my productivity will be triple without social media.
Attributes
In this world, full of people,everyone is unique. Everyone thinks differently,walk, way of speaking,style, life and everything is different.
People are like stars in the sky who looks similar but they aren't from their inside. Their real side is their soul. If everyone has to be the same then why there are so many individuals carrying their own identities?
People cannot be the same, there action can not be the same but they imitate other's action, they perceive,conceive and do those actions from which they get inspiration.
This whole big world is a book and every living thing(either it's tree,plant,animal or human) is a page/lesson of that book. There is constant learning but nothing in this world is constant. Everything is changing and that's why it's world.
What i think about Attributes?
We learn attributes,we learn what is the good and evil. These good and evil changes from culture to culture,religion to religion but many times only names changes but the core value remains the same.
Everyone should have three Attributes or skills in their lives;
*-Live to in present*
*-Be Grateful*
*-Power to say "No"*
Live in Present
You are like fresh flower, only if you are living the moment, enjoying the present day. The day when you think about your old,worn out days then you will be not a fresh flower. Same happens with future. If you are living your current life in your best mood then your future will be the same.

No one will always stay with you,No one. There will be only you.People changes like seasons. There will only be one full stop in your life and that will be death.
We get attached, detached,broken,good,bad and some other situations. These situations are building blocks of our personality.
Everyone will come up with bundle of self made definitions,labels but who cares?
There is always a next time, yes there is but don't always wait for that next time.
Be Grateful
[source]() https://pixabay.com/photos/thank-you-thanks-card-message-note-515514/
Greatness comes from gratefulness and from kindness. Down to earth is the key of all the successful people. That's one thing which i really want that everyone should have in his personality. When we remain kind to others it means we own a heart for them,not a stone. Whatever, we make,earn and get there is a reason behind it. So, we always should be grateful. https://pixabay.com/photos/thank-you-thanks-card-message-note-515514/
Power To Say "No"
Either we are innocent or try to showcase that we are innocent. In that innocence, we forget ourselves in number of occasions. Many times to make others happy we turn up our faces into the face of clown. We accept labels which we get from others.
When you are getting any intuition that you are not in right place! Just get up and leave that place.
When you are feeling you are not in best group,leave that group.
*If you are feeling that you are one of the choices for others then make their choices easy and remove yourself from that equation.*
Be yourself,carry yourself with grace.
What are you all doing?
How is your Sunday going?
What are you all doing?
How is your Sunday going?
Sunday
For me sundays are not relaxing days. Craziness is the core of sundays but my craziness goes in another way. I use this craziness in hanging dresses on the wire.
It looks like a Running day towards the *coming Monday*.
Getting up late in the morning of sunday is a bad thing in my dictionary. Though, every Sunday i get up late, still i don't like this habit of me. In this way my productivity of the day disturbe. Sunday provides me so much comfort which brings laziness. Mondays are good because they keep you in a pressure cooker where you work effectively and efficiently.
Laundry
I become washing machine on sundays. To be ready for the whole week demands Sundays to be washing day. So, i get up having this load in my mind that i have to wash my clothes.
On every sunday, a laundryman visits all the rooms to collect unwashed clothes. I give him trousers and all those clothes which are just night dresses because he doesn't wash them properly. To have assurance that everything is clean and tidy, i prefer to wash my clothes by my own. The process towards tidy is tiresome. I have to become laundryman for the sunday.
Today, i went upstairs to hang the clothes. Cat was resting under the high sun. She was sitting there in calm manner. I didn't disturb her peace time, just captured her picture and moved to laundry.
Iron
When came down, i realized that i have to iron my clothes. That's hectic. Sunday ! Please don't be so cruel towards me.
Iron showed me mirror that i have to iron my clothes. There is no escape.
There is no escape from this type of sunday.

Hopes Were Tightening Her Neck

As the sun rose on the horizon, it became clear what had happened.Golden hues of sun were giving melancholic echoes.Tears were welling in lids of her eyes and it was time when ocean will be flooded out. She was drumming her hands on steering wheel,fingers moving in perplexity.Eyes fell on the black cat mapping on the road but she was not eyeing that cat, infact she was dwelled in the thoughts of her mother,husband,divorce and other entangled things.
After gathering hope, she went into hospital, but her mother was living last breaths of her life. Her mother's soul went to another world in just her one blink.
She yelled ***"My Divorce engulfed the life of my mother".***
She was coming back to her mother after getting divorce and her mother could not uplift the pain of her daughter.
Walking in desperate manner, mumbling,she came out of hospital where cat was staring her and it was raining. Rain proved an assistance to her as it was removing sign of her cries but slaps of fortune was so deep to remove from her heart and life.
She sat on bench with dried desert of hopes. Now tears were rolling down her cheeks and her eyes were fainting as her fortune.
She was questioning her life! Why she never be a lover of someone. Expectations, crouching behind thoughts, were crying. Heart was sinking along with all expectations she had from her life.
In her head, she was recalling all those yelling tones of her husband,wish to become a mother, wish to become a good daughter.
All hopes were tightening her neck so hard that she gave her breathes in the hands of hopes and she died too. Cat crossed the road and eyed back to her but she was dead now.
