Starting right off, first of all, I was deeepressed the whole day. But then I got so happy, how? That’s not the story! You know whenever I go for a walk these evenings, I want to like .. stroll and roam around freely. Have you ever felt anything like that? Like I have my headphones…

Nothing special. I’m going to resume cutting myself, starting just about now. I don’t know of the future, nor do I give a fuck about it, I just want to be able to get rid of these voices in my head, and sleep peacefully. Bbye.

Today is the start of October. Autumn is setting in … I remember back in the autumn of 2020, I wrote a poem on some month. I can’t remember which specifically. It was autumn anyways. Now it’s autumn again and life is playing out strange cards. Snatching what was loved to create an emotion of…

02:23 pm I was sitting in mess just now, eating lentils with a spoon, when I noticed a commotion around me. I was right on the corner of the long table. Looking up, at the head table right beside me, what I see is a military-type-person, retired yet promoted now to a civilian officer post,…

Today was kinda emotional. I was going to the mosque, when I noticed, in the protocol avenue, there was a black civic parked, green number plate. There were 5 people on the footpath besides that car, standing in the shades of the trees. They were I guess having an out-of-office, informal meeting. One other guy…

What is it about people who call you, and when you cut their call to call back yourself, they “aren’t available”? What is it like you have your SIM installed in a public phone or something? Or is it in Joey’s (F.R.I.E.N.D.S) new apartment’s bathroom phone? I called you literally moments after you did, and…

I woke up 20 mins before breakfast timing closed today. Missed fajar! Opened eyes to see 0910 on clock. Well, I washed my face and combed and packed the bag and changed into something wearable outside and ate Naan Channe, and travelled to class, all in 20 minutes. Felt like a cadet for a brief…

So today I went to class too early. Woke up at 0942. Didn’t remember class starts at 2pm, so I was there in NLE lab at 1000. (NLE lab is quite an extravagant lab in S3H, NUST, where there are like 50 MACs placed for students) About 20 minutes later when there came no other…

Hy…wassup? .. well it rained today. A lot. Like at 4pm, it looked like 7pm, no Sun or anything, all hail and thunderstorm. I walked in the rain. And then I splashed and jumped in the ankle-deep rainwater too. No matter how much I wish to end it from my mind, I’ll have to say…

The pleasure of existing in someone else’s thoughts is so powerful for most of us, that most humans simply choose to resist the possibility of it ever happening 😄 … people are afraid of love 🤦♂️ Death is when you can finally breathe in peace ✌️

Well….I had Chinese lunch. Chinese people speaking Chinese, managing a Chinese restaurant with Chinese manners. (By manners, I mean they literally had a sign on the wall saying, “Please forgive me” in three different languages. Just the phrase, “Please forgive me” hanging by the wall. The only problem was the food though. It wasn’t Chinese…

1827 I’m sitting on top floor of NUST library looking outside at the “Campus Breaths Again”, event conducted by NUST administration. A success. Then there was heavy rain. I came while it was pouring.

Why is that Urdu proverb: “Ghore bech k Sona”, (گھوڑے بیچ کے سونا) .. represents someone in “deep sleep”? I mean look, if I had some horses previously, and I…

1649 S3h (School of social sciences and humanities, in NUST University, Islamabad) is a lively place isn’t it. There are so many people, so many ‘vibes’. Each look you get, no matter how minute, means something (and that meaning can actually also be: nothing, but nothing is something too). There’s charisma, there’s energy, there’s colors…

Today for a small time, I was feeling suicidal. Some triggers happening simulatenously forced me into a corner, and as a defense mechanism, I started to think of ways to … just quit! I’m alright now. But I’m wondering now that what if all the complexities of a suicide are removed, the physical pain or…

Tomorrow’s Eid-ul-Fitr. Or choti Eid, as it is commonly known on the Street around these parts. I went to NUST after like a month today and there was no one there. It was just like in COVID, except for a slight change. I roamed across the Scholar’s Avenue, over to the newly made United Nations…
