Old Era V/s New Era

Image
 "A world together, a world apart", is a great quote to explain how the early modern era had changed especially for the better. The time of early modern era was a very busy time for renewal, growth, and expansion. Life was vastly different for people in ancient times and we must understand our ancestors, appreciate their lives, and should learn from them.  In a time without cell phones, computers, telephones, automobiles, refrigerators, and all the beeps, buzzes, and noises of modern life. "If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is not the age of Revolution, when the old and the new stand side by side...When the glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era. This time... is a very good one"                                                            ~Ralph Waldo Emerson A lot has ta...

Nature

Image
Nature is one of the greatest blessings of Allah Almighty. It can be the sky, trees, clouds, the seaside, etc. Nature is just too beautiful, it makes our souls happy and peaceful. One with severe illness, if surrounded by the essence of nature can be cured as easily, rather than sitting or lying in just one room the whole day. The sounds of birds early in the morning seem so calmful just like seeing the baby sleeping. Nature can calm someone with uncontrollable anger. The falling rainfall in the monsoon season is another unexplainable beauty of nature. The unpolluted air in the atmosphere can prevent several people from severe illness. The pleasant smell of flowers such as roses, lilies, hibiscus, etc is as soothing as the breath of spring. The change of season promptly is so useful, effective, and relevant. One can easily decide their schedule for the year like what they will do this season, that season, etc. like many many Pakistani people decide before the upcoming year, just like a...

LCD

  LIFE CREATING DIFFICULTIES (LCD): Thomas Edison's saying: "People don't read books anymore, but they listen to sermons- and I want you to stop reading those and do instead!" Regardless of your fame, fortune, or abilities, life is filled with difficulties. It depends on you how will you overcome your problem, whether you give up or face the harsh realities of life. When we are just trying to learn how to walk, we fall many times but in the end, we do not give up, we try again, work hard and one day we did it. We now know how to walk, similarly, the same goes with life, it is also an example of learning, failing, and then succeeding. Learning to deal with them in healthy productive ways results in personal growth and peace of mind. From these kinds of experiences, you get to learn how to overcome thinking, work from your strength, take time for self-care, and find the meaning of your experiences. In the journey of life, a person has always had to carry a bag of diffi...

School Life

Image
 School life is a wonderful period of our life. Apart from getting an education, the students learn a lot of  new things from the school environment. The school is an unforgettable account of our experiences. It is the best part of one's life. A man, who has been a student knows what school life is. Our school life is always the best time of our lives. Furthermore, it is the only time when one can meet his/her friends. A wise man once said, "No matter what's going on in your life right now, school memories always make you happy!" We spend nearly 10-12 years of our life in school, so how can one forget it easily? A school is a meeting place for students and teachers. From here, a student learns how to adjust himself to society in life. It is the period of youth. All the students read in a spirit of togetherness. They learn many things apart from their subjects such as equality, tolerance, discipline, and loyalty. punctuality, sincerity, etc. We get good learning experi...

Their targets are random often chosen by vulnerability and they operate at stop streets, traffic lights, entrance to building, etc. They are prepared to hijack and rob in any convenient area.

The commander of the hijacker took pistol out of his pocket and put it on my elder brother's head an...
