And why does that bother you? Why do you care? Do you realize that liking a post does not necessarily mean caring about the person? Isn’t it scary? How your social life and self-esteem is based on the most trivial things? You could be an A-class human being and yet your confidence would depend on the number of likes your posts get! You could have the right opinion but you would only value it if...

Mirrors by Maliha Tahir

Wednesday, May 24, 2017 / BY KELS

It was the most beautiful thing she has ever had. It was her mother’s last gift to her. A little mirror engraved with aesthetic stones around it’s rim. Anna used to look into it thinking if she looked like the most attractive person she had ever seen, her mother.

IBLIS TO HIS COUNCILORS: This world is an ancient game of abstracts with the frustrated longings of its dwellers. The Creator is inclined to destroy them by liberating me(Iblis). I had inspired in the West the dream of Imperialism by breaking the influence of the mosque, the temple and the church.When man has grown to be a little civilized and self-observant, I introduced the concept of democracy.

Something that I didn't know. Then in all the dark outside I saw some people. When I looked all around there were some people whirling all around me. But they didn't talk, didn't smile or...

Time and Destiny by Siddika Allahdad Tarar

There were melodies to be heard at the break of early dawn. There were rainbows to slide on, endless galaxies to be drawn on the palms of your hands. There were secrets in...
