✨ Highlights from this Issue ✨

🌿 Poetry That Breathes Life:

"Afterthought" by Irfan Afzal: A reflective piece that delves into the lingering echoes of decisions and emotions. Irfan masterfully captures the delicate interplay of time, memory, and realization.

"Lost in a Skin Mole" by Kalsoom Khan: This mesmerizing poem takes readers through the mystical charm of nature, as the narrator engages in a whimsical dialogue with the elements—mist, rivers, and forests—all tied metaphorically to a skin mole.

📖 Stories That Stay With You:

🌿 Can confinement set us free? Dr. Munazza Yaqoob’s "A New Life Awaits Us" takes readers on a reflective journey, questioning whether the lockdown was a cage or a catalyst for rediscovering humanity’s connection with nature’s resilience. The story challenges the irony of human development, juxtaposing the stillness of lockdown life with the Earth’s breathtaking revival, urging us to rethink our role as stewards of this planet.

"Dots" by Dr. Waseem Anwar: A thought-provoking exploration of how life’s seemingly insignificant moments come together to form meaningful patterns. Dr. Waseem’s storytelling invites readers to connect the “dots” in their own lives.

📚 Book Review That Challenges and Inspires:

Book Review by Dr. Sofia Hussain: Dr. Sofia offers a nuanced critique of Ijazaat: Manzar Nama: Muhabbat aur Shairi Per Aik Nashist, weaving personal insights with an analytical lens. Her review highlights the book’s contribution to contemporary literary thought and its resonant themes.

🎨 Why This Issue Matters:
This edition isn’t just about words on a page; it’s a conversation. It’s the kind of writing that lingers in your mind long after you’ve read the last word.
