Today, I want to introduce you to a beautiful and breathtaking place and this is my birthplace, where I proudly live. This magical region is called GilgitBaltistan, located in the northern part of Pakistan. It's a land of stunning landscapes, rich culture, and incredible natural wonders.

Gilgit Baltistan holds unique geographical significance. It shares borders with China on one side and India on the other. But what truly makes it exceptional is that the world’s four greatest mountain ranges meet here: the Karakoram, the Himalayas, the Pamir, and the Hindu Kush. This natural crossroads creates some of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring scenery on Earth.

Running through these majestic mountains is the Karakoram Highway, also known as Shahrah-e-Resham (The Silk Road). Often called the eighth wonder of the world, this highway is not just an engineering marvel but also a vital part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), serving as a gateway for trade and tourism between the two nations.

Gilgit-Baltistan is also home to the world’s second-highest peak  K2. Towering at 8,611 meters, K2 is both a challenge for climbers and a source of pride for the region. The surrounding mountains and glaciers offer an unmatched adventure for nature lovers and thrill seekers.

Now, let me tell you about the picture I’ve shared  a view of the stunning Deosai National Park, often called the "Roof of the Earth." Deosai National Park, this high-altitude plateau is one of the highest and most picturesque in the world. At over 4,000 meters above sea level, it offers vast, untouched beauty that feels like something out of a dream.

Within this paradise lies the serene Sheosar Lake, reflecting snow capped peaks and surrounded by wildflowers. Deosai is not just visually stunning  it's also the habitat of the endangered Himalayan brown Bear, along with many other unique species of flora and fauna.

I could write pages about Gilgit-Baltistan, but as the wise saying goes, A picture is worth a thousand words. So, take a moment, dive into the photo, and feel the spirit of this incredible land.

Thank you for taking the time to read. Please let me know in the comments if you'd like to know more!

It makes me truly sad to see the English Club chat room so empty these days. I joined EC back in 2019, and at that time, the main chat room was always full of activity. People from all around the world were chatting, helping each other, and learning English together. If you messaged someone, you would get a reply within seconds. There was a real sense of community and support, especially for those who were just starting their English learning journey.

This website used to be an incredibly useful and productive platform for new learners. One of the best things about it was the chance to speak directly with native English speakers, which helped many of us improve our speaking and writing skills. It was more than just a website it was a place where people connected, learned, and grew together.

Unfortunately, times have changed. Many people are leaving the site, and one of the main reasons is that the platform hasn't kept up with modern needs and expectations. Technology is always evolving, and platforms must adapt to survive. We’ve seen many big tech companies fail because they didn’t change with the times a famous example is Nokia, which was once a leader in mobile phones but fell behind due to a lack of innovation.

So, with all respect and sincerity, I offer my humble advice to the management team and the owners of this wonderful platform: please consider updating and modernizing the site. One of the most important steps you could take is to launch a mobile application, similar to WhatsApp or other popular messaging apps. Having a mobile app would allow users to stay connected easily and chat on the go, making the community more active and engaged once again.

This platform has so much potential, and I believe it can still be a great place for learners around the world  but only if it evolves with the times. I hope this message reaches the right people, and I wish the best for the future of the English Club.

Technology is growing so rapidly that the generation born around 1980 has witnessed countless changes within just a few decades. From black-and-white televisions, they saw the arrival of color TVs, computers, VCRs, CDs, DVDs, USB drives, SD cards—and eventually, smartphones. These devices have gradually replaced many older gadgets like clocks, calculators, radios, and even calendars.

All these innovations have made human life much easier than before. However, while technology has brought convenience, it has also negatively impacted our social lives. Nowadays, when we observe people, we often find that even if you're sitting with them all day, they barely notice you. Their main focus is on mobile games or social media. Online friends have, for many, become more important than the loved ones sitting right beside them.

I once came across a joke that highlights this situation perfectly: A young boy, addicted to his phone, accidentally dropped it in water. Forced to spend a day without it, he had no choice but to interact with his family. The next day, after getting a new phone, he posted on social media:
“Yesterday I spent time with my family. I discovered they are actually good people!”

I joined this platform, EC, in 2019. At that time, the main chat room was full of people engaging in conversations—you never felt bored. But recently, when I returned after a long time, I was saddened to see only two or three people active in the main room throughout the day. This decline might be due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI is excellent for learning languages and acquiring knowledge. But it can also feel quite frustrating when we realize we are spending hours talking to emotionless machines. That's why I quit another platform and came back to EC.

In my opinion, human-to-human interaction is a unique and valuable experience. I love learning about different customs and cultures directly from real people around the world. My main goal on social media is to connect with others and learn from their experiences and cultures.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Your comments and likes motivate me to write more.
Thank you in advance!

I never expected that you ended our friendship without saying a single word if you say just bye before ended the contact the pain of loss would be bearable for me but you wouldn't bother even to say that. The feeling of  pain of loosing you can't be express in words if I try to express this feeling in words it's be like you have a good friend and he was dead and you  haven't know where his or her dead body is nor you know his grave where you go and cry.....

I have to know your opinion regarding social media friendship. answer the following questions on commant if possible

1. 
   Are you give importance to your social media friend as your real life friend? if not then why you spend much of your time with that one who have no importance in your life?
2. Are you got that much sad on loosing your social media friend?

Some weird behaviors of human beings in my country if these are common in your country too please just comment.

1. People always prefer to save new currency notes and try their best not to spend that note):D
   2. Knows that juice or other drink Bottle is empty but always try once more):D
   3. When someone came from outside the people who inside must have to ask “are you come back? While knowing he is and on front of him.
   4. Always trying set on Window side no matter it would be an airplane or bus.
   5. Girls again and again try to make sure that her Heejab would be on her head but not take a pin to fix it
   6. Not paying utility and other bills till the last date.

These behaviors looks strange but it’s very common here):D   

21^st century’s Social Media and Social Media Friends 

 Since the beginning of 21^st century the invention of mobiles and progress of communications tools (like internet) completely revolutionize our social life and even today we are unaware of its future. Because of this rapid change we feel difficult to change our life accordingly. These inventions affect on our life is not countable but here I just want discusses some of its social aspect only.  

 Social Media Information

 Social media is becoming the main source of information. We spend hours and hours on social media for getting information having known that the most social media news is fake or fabricated. So why we are wasting our time to getting these unreliable information?

 Social Media Friend

 Social media friends are also our essential part of our life. We talk to them hours and hours and share our problems and issues with them. Some of us spend more time with them than our own families and some of us much familiar the behavior of our social media friend’s than our own family members. Having all the facts we are not consider social media friends as a real friend nor we trust on them. So wasting the time on these friends is also a question mark on our dubious characters.  

Men and women are dying in Karachi because of intense hot weather in last summer. Me and my friend decided to go any other place to spend our summer vacations, so we move to northern site of Pakistan that Area had a pleasant weather in summer.   

We are travel by bus between Karachi to Rawalpindi we saw a girl, She set on chair; I can’t express her pulchritude in words even now whenever I think about her I feel difficult to convince myself that she was from this planet. To remember that moment is a happier and more comely time for me even now.

As all you know I am member of EC since a long time. I love EC because it gives us an opportunity to share our experiences, customs, culture and belief to the world so by talking advantage of this opportunity I want to share some information about “Ramadan” the Holy month of Islam.      

Fasting the month of Ramadan is one of the main pillars of Islam. It is obligatory upon every sane, healthy Muslim whose reached puberty and is not traveling during the time of fasting. As for women, they must not fast if they are menstruating or having post-childbirth bleeding.

The rule of fasting:

There are two essentials elements for your fast to be valid and accepted. They are:

1.         Intention

You must have the intention to fast before fajr (dawn) every night during the month of Ramadan. The intention does not need to be spoken, because in reality it is an act of the heart, which does not involve the tongue. It will be fulfilled by one's intention from the heart to fast out of obedience to Allaah (God) seeking His pleasure.

2.         Abstaining from acts that invalidate the Fast

 The action that Invalidate your fasting

 All scholars have agreed that the following acts will invalidate the fast. They are:

Intentional Eating or Drinking

Intentional Vomiting

Intentional Sexual Intercourse

Menstrual or Childbirth Bleeding

 If you maintain these two essential elements during fasting, then your fast will be valid and accepted.

The month of Ramadan is a month in which the Mercy and Blessings of God descend upon us continuously. The whole Quran (The Last Book of God) was sent down to the first sky from Lawhe Mahfooz. There is the night of Qadr, which is better than 1000 months. Whoever spends the night of Lailatul Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, will be forgiven his previous sins. The first ten days are of mercy, second ten days are of forgiveness and the last ten days are of being freed from Hell. The month of Ramadan is one of the greatest blessings of God.

I appreciate your comments, like and corrections! May God bless you all.

In today’s society we judge and treat people base on their wealth instead of their moral character and good deed and we farther discriminated humans between white and black and so on. I feel depress specially when i see these kind of things going around in our societies. It’s an alarming situation that in our world these kind of discrimination growing up day by day. As far I knew every religion and faith discourage discrimination amongst people but why we discriminate people??

Could we ever demolish such kind of discrimination from our societies?????

I want to conclude my blog on a part of the great reformer of the world prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) Last speech:

“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety (taqwa) and good action”.

Your comments and correction highly appreciated.

I Feel shame to be a part of this double standard so called civilized society.

This is the harsh reality and horrible face of so called modern and civilized societies they didn't see the 700 death and nearly 4000 injured innocent people of Gaza but off course they did see and feel concerned the Hamas handmade rockets fire on Israel. I was stunned when UN secretary appeal Hamas to stop rocket fires and defend Israel. Now I understand that right of defend is allowed only for US and Israel’s supporters. I feel shame to be a part of this double standard so called civilized society.

May Allah bring peace and help the helpless people of Gaza….. Ameen 
and i request all helpless people of the world to pray for them bcz no one knows who is going to be the next target of the worlds supper power..!
