Shatters Inside Me
Sometimes I go back and read things that I have written and tell myself “shit, how can I write like this? like I have never done anything wrong.

A question to a Human being. How Human were you today?
Hi Human Being, How human were you today? Were you able to breathe in and breathe out well? Is that what it means to be human every day? Then I think I was human today.

Should you block or report a user who annoys you

My day of inspiration at the PWLive

Charlie Hebdo, Cartoons and Religious intolerance

Today when I woke up to the news of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, the first thing that came to my mind is “They have … Continue reading Charlie Hebdo, Cartoons and Religious intolerance
Why we should talk about religion when we talk about the Peshawar attack
I am posting this to be fair to a comment I put on Facebook and bring a point that no religion should be above criticism sorry if I am being too blunt here….
