As much as one doesn’t want to believe, the enemies seems to be going further and is penetrating right into the heart of the country. Hitting students has been the worst blow to young and tender minds who shall be the strength of Pakistan tomorrow. How do you explain to a kid why their [...]
When a Friend Bids Goodbye..
Posted by: Samah on: July 28, 2009
Its hard to believe that someone as lively and ambitious could leave this world so silently. I can still feel the warmth of her smile, the shine of eyes and the echo of our laughter that rang through the university corridors very often during the four years that we spent together. We weren’t bosom best [...]
Lowest of the low?
Posted by: Samah on: June 13, 2009
The wretchedness of the country’s affairs has made me sick and tired and numb as of late. All I can think of is to what levels can human descend to. No more comments other than quoting these ayaat which are constantly in my mind since yesterday.
﴾ لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنسَـانَ فِى أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ ﴿
Verily, We created [...]
Flyin’ High
Posted by: Samah on: June 11, 2009
Flying high
with ruffled wings
battered
forlorn
yet proud.
Gliding by
with certain strokes
sure of its path
yet fate unknown.
Rising above
new heights
heart soaring
it gazes below
to find itself
lying far beneath,
paralyzed
in a locked cage.
Blah Blah!

Retreating into solitude can be painful once you have gotten out of it, vowing you’d never look back. But then again, I was wrong to think I’d never want to look back. However immersed you may become in the outer world, you can never completely function if you are not comfortable with your solitude.
Like everyone [...]
Getting in focus
Posted by: Samah on: May 8, 2009
Okay, so I just have to trackback this awesome, awesome post. A good dose for neurotics like me (ok, not exactly maybe) but it made me realize how often I keep diverting my focus from something useful to something totally irrelevant, and worse something totally negative.
The thing is, these days I don’t have much to [...]

This quote did wonders to my lately-shattered self-esteem. Here are some more to keep your spirits high.
Keeping my boat afloat

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known. -Winnie the Pooh
Sometimes, it takes time to realize how exactly do you stand in this whirlwind of life. You keep stumbling upon, [...]
Becoming a Lake
Posted by: Samah on: March 9, 2009
Yes, that’s what I have been lately trying to be. A lake that keeps flowing quietly and calmly, making way between steep hills and above sharp, pointed stones. The thing I like about it is it makes pain far more endurable. You’re able to blink your eyes open and have a great deal clearer perspective [...]
