LIVING DEAD

____@_____

(POEM)

What thy bane have we gain??

In the tale of thy pain.

Shadow troops with gushing dire,

Under the gyre of this fire.

The labor of thy age,

Have gone thy waste.

Don’t make us marble,

With too much hurdle.

Nothing is   dare, have to bear,

That the doom has to be near.

My cheering days fly with air,

Stolen with thy age of twenty years.

Those golden slumbers on my bed,

Have turned down into red.

Those delights are to be shed,

Which were brighten thousand years ahead.

Look around yourself and see with whom we are close and with whom we are far.....Whats the reason behind this? I think people are not expressive likewise parents with kids , siblings with each other, husband wife etc. When we do not express ourselves with our love ones we starts destroying our inner personality and peace...our own love ones feel reluctant  from us.Not only we but the people with whom we  are connected suffered a lot.So we should take out from that shell....Be expressive spread l

­­­­­(Satirical Poem)

Love motion in the air, with none to compare,

I travel fast and far longing it to be near.

Nothing is better than my butterflies’ wishes,

Beyond the season of heavens pure blesses.

A silver night upon a silver steed,

My entire wishes have to come ahead.

My life is like a diamond star,

That is rare in the world high so far.

Nothing is beyond with such my power,

Like summer warmth the world with it’s fierce.

Broken shards are now glittering jewels,

Hopes and wishes

The apartheid wall is a huge barrier Israel has created to divide the land of Palestine, and to restrict the movement of its citizens. Up to 8 meters high in some areas, it runs along 708 kilometers, and completely encircles some Palestinians towns.

The wall separates the West Bank from the rest of Palestine, and prevents Palestinians from crossing except through some points highly guarded and full of soldiers.

Here are some pictures I have captured of the Apartheid wall from a Palestinian village

She held his arms and looked in his eyes with love. “I feel safe in your embrace, like I feel in my father’s”, she said.
She hugged him tight and buried her face in his chest.

I was standing behind a tree watching them secretly, wondering, if she is blind? 

FIRE FIGHTER

 ( POEM )

Why are you doing this, running your life?

With your batter and twisted rise.

Tell me not, in mournful number,

The soul will become dead, if u get slumber.

Life is not an empty dream__,

And things are not what they seem.

Many said that, this could not be done,

May be it could not, but he would be one.

He would never have said to be tired,

And always ready to play with fire.

He would have the courage like a lion,

He is such a man of such high on.

When thing are getting so much ha

 (POEM)

We are washed clean by the blood,         

And white faces turned into red.

The stone face of us has the gain,

Feelings and emotions are to be banned.

Icy breath, melting away with its spade,

Under the blade of it its fade.

From the beginning, the star of a people,

Have found their journey to vital fate.

The shadow of tear has widened in girth,

No one here is full of mirth.

Are we the men, alike with flies?

Have trodden in the hands of wanton boys.

The lane of the life have trapped into

Okay, First I would like to say, Plural marriage is not a part of my culture ( it happens rarely and most of the people do not like it) though majority people of my country are Muslims and it is true. Here, in the most cases, when a man wants to marry for the second time common practice is he divorces his first wife. And, yes, if a woman wants to remarry or wants to leave her husband she does the same thing. But,another true is, in some cases it happens, I mean plural marriage, in the remote are

If one wants to write something in English, they need vocabulary to use in their writing. Therefore, it is essential to have enough amount of vocabulary in one's head. 

But it also depends on what they want to write about. If one needs to write an academic paper they need to know a range of sophisticated and highly advanced English vocabulary, let alone using them appropriately. But if one wants to just write about their daily life they need not have as complicated and advanced as the ones mentio

Teach English in China

Honestly, I don’t consider myself a “beach person.” I always migrate toward cities, where I can find quirky restaurants and fun bars.
However, China is a huge country full of bustling cities.I lived in Shenzhen, a tier-1 city in Southeast China, for a year. As much as I loved this metropolis, I needed a change in scenery every once in a while. That’s why I started hopping on buses and riding to nearby beaches. Everyone needs an occasional we

Dear ladies!

I would like to congratulate you all today, you know today is International women's day! Yes, I know some people tend to think why a day for the women or what its purpose or why a day is marked  for them (for the women)?

Well, first I want to say, we are still struggling around the globe for many things, somewhere to fulfill/get  basic needs, somewhere not to be abused, somewhere to  get  chance to go to school, to get freedom as a woman and human being, to say what we like to do that
