Resolution 365

Life is all about striking a balance between work and play. We all look for our place in the world. It is funny; we actually talk a lot about self-importance as each New Year approaches. We invent resolutions and strive to become the persons we have idealised ourselves to be. Why is there such hype over making resolutions in the beginning of the New Year? We make them, but do we stick to them? I think we are very good at making a resolution but it requires something like a revolution to achieve our goals. Soon we tire and say, "Okay, this didn't work, will have a better one next year." This can be an explanation for why our beloved celebriti

Celebrating Confused Cultures

The goats, sheep, oxen and camels wear garlands to attract customers to sacrifice them for Eid in Lahore as trees, churches and street poles flash holly green and red in celebration of Christmas. It is a city of parallel realities where the old and the new are trying to understand each other. It is a city with a unique history of cultural evolution. If you live here, and think and work like a New-Yorker, you wouldn't mind having burgers from McDonalds despite the fact that you are an active member of the anti-globalisation campaign. "I don't take sides," is something you would say with a brave smile on your face because in hunger, there are

Train song by nathan-speaks, literature

Literature

Train song

Train song Prologue discarded factories rusting bus shelters a single battered car waits at the barrier a train is a cocoon: over time both inside and outside change I Here is the place where trees blur the line between dark brown and azure. Reflections in the window. Outside a tiny village station a single bulb illuminates a lone kiosk. Silhouette of a dog in the back yard. Tracing the outline of what is (now) Here no foothills or factories block the view: sky kisses earth on both cheeks. Memories buried in the soil: pearl of great price. Scribbled notes left behind betw

Letters from Mexico

once you start speaking Spanish, sex isn't tacky anymore in fact it's all the poets talk about, romantic body parts and fluids where I come from we resist love, or at least put forth the pretense where you come from it's all yes or no all the time, no mutual uncertainty between you and me, only ever mutual or not. Do what you must but please do what you can, while I am down here trying out this body and that inevitably left with nothing to do but examine the scene of attempted fondness for foreign tastes of foreign tongues sheepish, half-hearted, tired like suicide att

Knotting Odds and Ends

0 min read

Um, so, I'm kind of back on the page and I kind of feel queasy but okay? I have a bad headache and my eyes hurt badly, feels like they're going to pop out any second now. I love my job, I love my bosses and co-workers, I love my thesis, I love my teachers and I love my friends and ahem ex-friends :). Life is so weird and I really wish I didn't stutter that much. My speech is disoriented but I'm liking what I'm feeling. I am sneezing a lot and drinking a lot of tea and eating a lot of chinese food. For the past few weeks, I have just begun to notice how bright the sunlight is when it's morning or afternoon, I look forward to work and to meetin

Making Plagiarism Illegal

0 min read

So it was, I decided to write about my life in my stories. And so it was, it happened in my classes. Seems like people here, especially students in Pakistan, love to plagiarise other people's work. The tragedy is, my stories are being plagiarised and I can't even write well, let alone read and analyse! Things I read or the music I listen to is being plagiarised by people who think I'm too stupid to know, the whole world is laughing at me, and for good reasons because, hey, I earned it, right? I deserved it, right? Speaking of plagiarism, how many times have I plagiarised? Journalists, where are you now? I have paid for my insanity, and I am

if you hate me so much and never want to hear of me again, just shut up. i have no reason to talk to you if you don't confront me with these long spills of what your upset about that has nothing to do with me. for gosh sakes, you live half way across the world and i don't even know who you are. stop making a big deal of someone who you don't even know. if you tell me to f**k off or anything again, then you're obviously not done with me. you could have ended without saying anything but you didn't.
