Thought of the Day- Day 6

Dedication to all moms(:

As I was scrolling through the internet, I came across this picture and felt that it deserved a post.. To all the beautiful mothers out there. You truly are an inspiration and examplar for us children. You are the empitome of hard work, wisdom and grace and never fail to fulfill your duties. 

This picture teaches us a great lesson. Our mothers are wonderful. Let us all appreciate their existence in our lives. 

Thank you mama for your unconditional love and support. Thank you for holding my hands at every step and teaching me how to walk. Thank you for being one of my greatest inspirations. Thank you for being my biggest support in times of difficulty. Thank you for being a part of my life. 

I. Love. You

One day to L-O-V-E

One day to love!

Hello friends. Happy Valentines day to all! Hope that you all had an amazing day, filled with sheer love and enthusiasm. 

As much as I love the idea of 'celebrating love', I always find myself in a dilemma about celebrating Valentines Day. I don't intend to let down someone's beliefs but I personally feel that it is unfair to dedicate one single day to love. In fact, I believe that we shouldn't make love an excuse to celebrate.  Love redefines sublimity and deserves to be relished and celebrated every single day. Love enlightens our lives and should be recognized with every passing minute. Dedicating 'one day' to love is the same as undermining it's power and influence. 

So keep loving and cherish this blessing with every second of your life. 

Have a great day.

Cultural Diversity- Good or Bad?

Cultural Diversity- 'Identity Crisis'! 

Howdy Friends😀 Today, my post will focus on a significant aspect of my life - 'Culture' 

                                                   

As a person, I've grown up in a very culturally diverse environment. I was born in Pakistan but lived in the United Arab Emirates for a span of 15 years. Living in the UAE enabled me to get familiar with different cultural practices. For instance, despite of being a Pakistani, I seldom attired in beautiful Arabic clothes and absolutely loved eating the traditional middle-eastern cuisine. The falafel and the shawarma are definitely drool-worthy and mouth-watering. Moreover, I had a lot of Indian friends at school, which helped me to comprehend some aspects of the Indian culture as well. I enjoyed eating tangy indian snacks and found the Indian cuisine quiet self-indulging. Living in Dubai also gave me the pleasant opportunity to socialize and interact with people from different nationalities. This helped to enhance my knowledge about different traditions and made me feel more comfortable and delightful in my society. 

                                   

At times, people complain that our generation is suffering from a major identity crisis and many of us fail to sense a belonging or a connection to a particular place. Some also claim that most  of our cultural practices are not preserved and serve  as a victim to heavy foreign influence. In fact, we all are so deeply involved into different cultural practices that we fail to identify ourselves to just one of them but in turn form a bond with all of them. 'Identity crisis' is recognized as something negative in our society  as it is said to suppress our personality in the long run. 

However, let's look at the flip side of the coin. Growing up in a multicultural environment helped me to experience a blend of cultures and get the knack of each and everyone of them. Different cultures help to familiarize you with unique and distinct worldly traditions and practices . In turn, it increases your knowledge and socialization and makes you more confident about your surroundings. It's always beneficial to be aware of what's happening around you. In that way, you will learn to relish every minute of life and become more willing to anticipate positive changes to your world. If you are familiar with different ways of living, then you are more likely to adopt the positive aspects of a culture and integrate them in your own household. 

When you become an adult  and step into a world of professionals, a brief understanding of the world will help to build up your personality and make you seem as a more intellectual and an assertive person. It will also enable you to blend into the environment with ease. Hence, I feel extremely lucky and privileged to grow up in an environment bounded with so many different cultures.

"Culture does not necessarily have to define who you are, but it does build up your personality and decide what aspects to incorporate in one's life"

The Bold and The Beautiful💛

Hey everyone :) So, this is another one of  my creative writing pieces which I would like to share with all of you! The poem deals with how a 'perfect girl' does not really exist in reality.  Constructive feedback will be widely appreciated. Have a good read.

The Bold and the Beautiful 🍓

As she walked into the boisterous crowd, 

Her luxuriant hair tied up neatly to a place 

With beauty galore all around, 

She filled the site with funk and grace. 

Her alluring looks defined her aesthetic ways

With poise and aplomb, she stood strong in her place

The bold and the beautiful person she was, 

One could fall in love with her at the first glance

Dancing vehemently in the horde, 

She left all the spectators enthralled and in awe

Her twinkling eyes expressed her glee

Her distinctive face filled the atmosphere wish sheer ecstasy.

Her strong demeanor captured millions of hearts 

Her sensuous appeal seemed like a piece of divine art

Her unconditional beauty left everyone spell bound 

So immensely sublime, pragmatic and profound 

Her Assertive eyes blurted a stream of confidence 

And Spontaneous moves revealed joy and grace 

A perfect amalgamation of beauty and brains 

She surely made my youthful heart race 

As I slowly walked towards her 

Wishing to embrace my love with open arms 

A drop of sunlight, woke me up from my everlasting sleep 

She wasn't reality, but a soulful dream
