Yesterday I heard of a humankind

I really cannot put him out of mind

***

He was a father, with three little girls

Working so hard, pretending to be so fine

***

Life was going on, hard but with peace

All they were proud of was a deep smile

***

But things just changed, the life stopped

Hardship and peace were differently defined

***

Peace changed to a photo, set in a far distance

Little girls tried to get it but it was far by miles

***

The photo was within reach of some powers

They could ju

  Reading for me is one of the best tasks when you're learning something either by pleasure or by studying. It's like a long, long journey which you do to a distant but so dreamed destination.

I am writing this blog as to celebrate my own milestone. This is supposed to mark my 50th blog. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, my 50th blog is posted earlier which is a blog dedicated to my dear friend Noora; Wake up Soon, my Dear.

I never knew that I would be able to write a single blog, let alone my 50th. As I said in my previous blog "Practising English Online", I was one of those people that "don't do blogs, don't read blogs". It all started to change when a friend asked me to read

A lingua franca is a language used for international and interethnic communication. If a city has 2 or more ethnic groups living in it, communication usually takes place in just one language. If a city has 5 different language groups, it makes the most sense for everyone to learn just one language. Otherwise, everyone would have to learn 4 languages, which is time-consuming and impractical.

English is the modern world’s lingua franca, but this hasn’t always been the case. In ancient Mesopotamia,

The northern and northwestern parts of Pakistan are shrouded by the three world-famous ranges called Hindukush, Himalaya, and Karakorum. In these mountains have been found nearly all the minerals Pakistan currently offers to the world market, including aquamarine, topaz, peridot, ruby, emerald, amethyst, morganite, zoisite, spinel, sphene, and tourmaline.
The question arises as to how these were explored: by the very people living in and beside the hills and not as a result of any government inv

In our daily life, we meet different people daily. We say Hello, we greet and pass. The other day comes and it’s all the same story. And if you calculate the number of people you have squeezed into a hello-Goodbye box, you will wonder and murmur freakily “Am I a packing-killer?”:-sss!!the truth comes to light here that we take many people for granted daily and their existence is going to be a routine for us -if I

The Siachen GlacierThe roots of the conflict over Siachen (the place of roses) lie in the non-demarcations on the western side on the map beyond NJ9842. The 1949 Karachi agreement and the 1972 Simla agreement presumed that it was not feasible for human habitation to survive north of NJ9842. Piror to 1984 neither India nor Pakistan had any permanent presence in the area.

Reading Novels
For me reading novels is a great hobby .When I was 10 years old, I went to a book shop to buy some books that I could use for school. While I was reading the titles on the shelves, there was a very interesting title in the novel section called “The Riots of Senses”. I picked up the novel and looked at the content.
