14th of August exactly 63 years ago Pakistan was blessed with her independence from the British Raj; a long, hard and painful journey in which our forefathers, our elders gave their lives and unimaginable sacrifices. As citizens of this beautiful country which has provided us with incredible opportunities it is our duty to give back to her in the shape of our best of abilities, efforts and intentions to help Pakistan achieve eminence amongst other countries of the world which was the dream of our elders and founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah .

Long Live Pakistan!!! Pakistan Zindabad!! Sonya. (Day 115)

Finally I am making some progress with my training in Acupressure however it goes beyond saying that it is somewhat a laborious training becau...

At last got some vigour and inspiration to come on blog as the constant news coming in of massive devastations in so many parts of Pakistan had completely sucked the energy out of me. It almost felt guilty to sit comfortably in our homes and to talk about trivial things of life, a luxury, and the only wish which would come in these times is that every single person in the country must be peaceful & secured. Having said that it is also imperative in these times to be tremendously and profoundly grateful for all the countless great things which we all are blessed with. Still we want to know that why there is so much destruction and agony everywhere we turn around; I guess to understand the workings of God is rather an impossible task to achieve. It’s quite like a man-made landscape which when we see can comprehend easily because a mind like ours has manufactured it. On the other hand, if we go to a real and natural forest all we can see is trees and shrubs growing everywhere and in...
