By Arshad Usmani All of us live with our past. All of us allow it to shape our future. But some of us know how to shrug the past. I think that is who I am...  Although I was not like this always until one day which changed my whole life. That was the day when I decided to die and even my parents would have totally supported it.They are that good and believed in me. And that actually keeps me going because I am not the usual. I am weird. Why not, normal is so boring. It's just about perception or any sane being would have looked at my life to gasp in horror and call it dull, miserable and monotonous. But I feel proud when my teachers made me stand in front of the class and said, "Look, this is the student you all should try to become. I am sure you can never be like her as she is one and only. She is the best, been student of the year every year, always topped the class and every competition and this year awaits wonders in inter school board exams for her."  At noon I sat...

Amidst the golden rays of a languid afternoon on the Baasi of Eid, Arina and Jodi found themselves strolling through the fields of Khetwa ke Daade. The air was filled with the earthy aroma of ripened crops, and the soft whispers of the wind danced through their hair. A sense of tranquility enveloped them, as if time itself had paused to witness the unfolding of an ethereal connection. As they walked side by side, Arina's eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, and Jodi was captivated by her radiant presence. They exchanged tender glances, their hearts speaking a language beyond words. In the embrace of nature's sanctuary, they felt an inexplicable bond, as if they had known each other for lifetimes. "Isn't this place enchanting, Jodi?" Arina's voice was a melodic symphony, resonating with the serenity of the fields. Jodi smiled, his eyes mirroring the azure sky above. "Indeed, it feels like we've stumbled upon a secret haven where time slows down....

In morning, noon, evening, and night's song, Two souls entwined in passion's dance In the dying twilight's eerie gloom,   'Neath moonlight's pallid, ghostly plume. A tale of love begins to weave, In corridors where ghosts believe. Beneath the ancient castle's keep, Where whispers haunt and secrets creep, Two souls entwined in passion's dance, Amidst the darkness, they advance. A maiden fair with raven hair, Her heart as wild as mountain air, And in her eyes, a stormy sea, A longing for love's ecstasy. Beside her stands a knight so bold, With armor tarnished, heart of gold, His sword a beacon in the dark, Protecting her, his love's true spark. Through labyrinthine halls they roam, Their love a flame that's never known, By mortal man or earthly bound, In this enchanted, ghostly town. They steal away in shadows deep, Where night and day together sleep, Their love a song that echoes long, In morning, noon, evening, and night's song.  ---Arshad Us...

Infatuation, often mistaken for true love, is a powerful emotional state characterized by intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone. It is typically based on idealization rather than a genuine, deep connection. This transient and often irrational feeling can significantly impact an individual's thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions, leading to a distorted view of reality. The hallmark of infatuation is its intensity. When someone is infatuated, they may experience overwhelming emotions, including euphoria, excitement, and an urgent desire to be close to the object of their affection. These feelings can be so potent that they dominate a person's thoughts, making it difficult to focus on anything else. This intensity, however, is usually unsustainable, and over time, it tends to diminish as reality sets in. Infatuation is primarily driven by physical attraction and the novelty of the relationship. During the initial stages, people often project their fantasies and ...
