Life is very short to please others and if you keep trying to please others, it will fall out of your hands sooner. It is a very common dilemma when you have to choose between your own happiness and satisfying others. The sad part is that most of the times we sacrifice our own happiness for the sake of pleasing others. Let me break something to you, you simply cannot satisfy anyone. If you give them 2, they would want 4 and if you give them 4, they will demand 6. The most accurate solution to this problem is to stop trying. Sometimes it is very painful but the reality is pinching and we have to learn to live with it. I have seen many people striving to satisfy others and they sacrifice their peace of heart in the process. My only question is, is it worth it? No, because they will always want more from you. Many people spend all their lives to please others and in the end there only left with regret. They give up on their dreams and follow a path that is not made for them. The for

The main characters of my novella “the stranger” are Sara, 21 and Roy, 34. It is a story of Sara's struggle to adapt with a whole new life and the disloyalty of a person who she once loved with all her heart. She is a very emotional girl and values relationships more than anything. The immense courage and natural instinct to protect her family are discovered when she faces a life-changing incident. She is curious and takes any challenge hands on. She lives with her parents and sister but due to circumstances, moves to London for further studies where she meets Roy. Roy is a middle-aged man with an enigmatic persona. He is very elegant and smart. His life is packed with secrets and mysteries. He is soulful and caring. The life was not very easy for him either as the story progresses, he reveals his inmost secrets to only one person, Sara. Despite all the distress and ongoing matters, he has the most positive attitude, a very hopeful approach towards life. Unlike other protagon

Writing has always been my passion and I had a lot of stories to tell. Last year, I attempted to write a short story called coincidental love . I received some extraordinary responses on that story and I can absolutely admit, it motivated me to write more of the short stories that I did later on! However, I had the urge to experiment with my skill and in December 2018, I found some motivation in the form of a story. It was like a moment when I decided to write a story and the very same day, I started writing it down. I owe a lot of credit to my readers and I am very happy to introduce the name and cover of my first book that is releasing on the 14th of March, 2019. It is also up and available for pre-order. My first book is named “The Stranger” and here is the cover, The story is very close to my heart and as they say, a writer is always inspired by some true events if not all. When I started the story, I observed a huge difference in my attitude, I started seeking inspiration f

The rivalry between Pakistan and India is not dissimilar but the latest turn of events has established a very intense situation between the two countries. 72 years have passed and it is certainly sure that both the countries never really got along and the rivalry has maintained for many years. In my own opinion, I really think that Pakistan and India can never be friends. It is a huge profession but the extreme opposition has reached a point that it is highly improbable for both the countries to ever be on friendly terms. However, I believe in the philosophy of never say never. “I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.” George Mcgovern Kashmir is the main point of conflict between the two countries and recently, the Pulwama attack claimed the lives of 41 Indian soldiers. This event occurred on 14th February and ever since the situation between the two countries has been deteriorating with every passing day. There were air strikes, payl
