Ok, so it rains for two days & there’s yet another change in school timing? This is the third timing change in just 20–25 days! It clearly shows how indecisive & incapable the decision-makers r. If the heat returns, are we going to switch timings again? This back-n-forth is completely absurd. July & August ralways hot,a constructive, long-term decision should’ve been made keeping that in mind. Also, these shorter school hours have actually proved something important—that schools can run efficiently in less time. Classes, syllabus, — everything has gone smoothly. There is absolutely no need to keep students locked in for long hours. Developed countries follow the model of early start & half-day school — giving students time to rest, play, spend time with family, take naps, do homework, and study without being drained. Maybe it’s time we stop romanticizing long school hours & start focusing on smart school hours

As a daughter-in-law, I’ve lived this truth…
Leaving your own home, your parents, your comfort — it isn’t just a tradition, it’s an emotional storm we quietly walk through. 🥺💔

This video brought back everything… the silent tears, the tight hugs, the brave smiles we force as we step into a new house, trying to make it home.

They say, “Daughters go to their own homes after marriage” — but no one sees how much of themselves they leave behind at their parents’ doorstep.

Behind every bride is a daughter who wonders… “Will I still matter the same? Will I still be someone’s little girl?”

To every daughter, to every daughter-in-law — I see you, I feel you.
And to every parent reading this — your love still means the world to us, no matter where we live now. ❤️

It honestly feels like the School Education Department is being run by a bunch of illiterate people. We're in the middle of a heatwave, doctors are advising people to stay indoors & stay hydrated, & most government schools in the Valley lack even the most basic facilities to cope with the heat. A half-an-hour delay is totally absurd..& whatz with different timings for areas outside the municipality of Srinagar. Why? Are those areas not going through the same summer? Is the sun somehow kinder in villages? Be it a city or a remote area, the heat is exactly the same. Yes, there’s a heatwave—but let’s be real: declaring summer vacations right now isn’t the smartest move either. Everyone knows June & July are going to be much worse. We can’t afford to shut down schools for months. The most sensible solution? Early morning timings—like last year. Kids were fresh, punctual, & comfortable. Learn a thing or two from how Jammu & other states are handling it.

Pahalgam Attack – A Kashmiri’s Heartbreak

Today, my heart bleeds for Pahalgam.

A land known for its serenity and unmatched beauty has once again been shaken by the horrors of violence. This isn’t just an attack on innocent lives — it’s an attack on our soul, our peace, and our shared hope for a brighter, united future.

As Kashmiris, we stand united in condemning this cowardly act of terror. This is not our way. We are a people of compassion, of hospitality, of deep-rooted love for harmony — not hatred.

To the precious lives lost, may you rest in peace. To the injured, may healing find you swiftly. And to the grieving families, know that we hold you close in our hearts — your pain is our pain.

Please, don’t let this violence define us. We are not the ones who plant fear. We are the ones who plant hope.

My brain on a busy day: 'Must do ALL the things!' 🤪 Turns out, keeping busy is my secret weapon against overthinking. Who else finds that being productive keeps the mental gremlins away?"

Sometimes, the suffocation inside the heart and mind becomes so overwhelming that even tears bring no relief. 💔🌹😢

From the outside, Aisha’s life looks picture-perfect. The kids are well-fed, the house is spotless, and she’s always there with a reassuring smile and a listening ear. But beneath the surface, she’s barely holding it together. Every morning, she wakes up with a heavy weight pressing on her chest, an exhaustion that sleep never seems to fix. She moves through the day on autopilot—packing lunches, answering questions, managing schedules—making sure everyone else is okay. But when she finally gets a moment to herself, there’s nothing left. No energy, no joy, just an endless cycle of going through the motions.

She tells herself, I’m fine. Everyone has rough patches. But the rough patch has stretched into weeks, then months, and the emptiness lingers. She feels guilty for feeling this way—after all, she’s still functioning. She’s getting everything done, isn’t she? But the spark is gone, replaced by an undercurrent of anxiety and a quiet voice whispering that she’s not enough.

She misses the version of herself who laughed easily, who had passions beyond grocery lists and bedtime routines. She wishes someone would notice, that someone would ask, Are you really okay? But she’s perfected the art of masking her struggle so well that even she’s starting to believe it.

Aisha’s story is a reminder that even those who seem the strongest can be fighting battles no one sees. And that ‘functioning’ is not the same as living.

A working husband comes home to a cooked meal. A working wife comes home to cook the meal.
This isn’t just about women being independent now—it’s about men still not being independent. And the worst part? This cycle isn’t continued by force anymore. It’s carried forward through silent expectations, emotional manipulation, and the belief that "this is how it has always been."
Mothers-in-law don’t scold or force their daughters-in-law, but they expect. They expect them to do it all, just as they did. Wake up early, cook, clean, care for the family—without complaint. Meanwhile, a man’s job is seen as his "contribution," while a woman’s job is just extra work on top of her household duties.
But Islam never said household work is only a woman’s responsibility. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself did housework. Yet, these teachings are ignored. Instead, the focus remains on hijab, prayer, and selective rules, while the real essence of justice and balance is forgotten.
The sad truth? Women themselves continue this pattern—not because they enjoy it, but because they never questioned it. "If I did it, why shouldn’t she?"
It’s time to break the cycle. Stop passing down exhaustion from one generation to another.

True courage isn't always about loud, bold actions.
کبھی کبھار، یہ خاموشی، سوچا سمجھا صبر ہوتا ہے۔
It takes immense strength to walk away from a confrontation, to resist the urge to lash out or prove you're right. Pride-driven reactions might feel satisfying in the moment,
لیکن بعد میں افسوس اور تلخیاں چھوڑ جاتی ہیں۔

Choosing respect over immaturity shows inner strength and wisdom.
ہر جنگ لڑنے کے قابل نہیں ہوتی، اور ہر بات کا جواب دینا ضروری نہیں ہوتا۔
By maintaining your dignity and practicing self-control,
آپ ظاہر کرتے ہیں کہ آپ عارضی فتوحات سے زیادہ سکون اور احترام کو اہمیت دیتے ہیں۔

Self-control is the ultimate show of strength یہ اپنے جذبات کو قابو میں رکھنے، اشتعال انگیزی سے اوپر اٹھنے، اور اپنی سچائی کو برقرار رکھنے کی بات ہے۔ It’s a testament to the strength found in patience, understanding, and knowing that you don't need conflict to prove your worth.
In essence, true strength and courage lie in the ability to choose restraint and respect, اپنی عزت کو برقرار رکھنے اور ایک پرامن ماحول کو فروغ دینے میں۔
