Shades of Longing

 Shades of Longing


After you leave, the sky will be a dead weight,

The road a path of sorrow, wine just a bitter taste.

Everything will be like my heart,

A dull grey color; the emptiness of your absence,

The poison of memories, the dullness when we're apart,

The fleeting joy when we meet in dreams,

And the blackness when darkness covers the earth.


The sky will be a shirt heavy with tears,

The road a vein about to break,

And the glass of wine a mirror reflecting all that's lost.

So the sky may not lose its light,

The road remain a path,

And the glass of wine not a reminder,

Just a glass of wine.


Thank You

The Exclusive Two-Member Classroom

 The Exclusive Two-Member Classroom Most people imagine a classroom filled with chatter, rows of occupied desks, and the constant hum of group discussions. In my case, the reality is very different—there are only two students in my class. Yes, just two. At first, it felt unusual, almost like walking into an empty theatre for a movie. But soon, I began to see how unique and meaningful this experience could be. 1. No Back Bench Drama With only two students, there’s no concept of “back benchers.” Every seat is the front row, and every question from the teacher comes straight to us. It means we can’t disappear into the crowd and our presence is always felt. 2. Teacher’s Undivided Attention In most classrooms, teachers have to divide their focus among dozens of students. Here, the teaching feels almost like a one-on-one conversation. The teacher notices exactly where we struggle, and explanations can be adjusted instantly to suit our pace. 3. Faster and Deeper Learning Without a large g...

Ramadan: A Month of Fasting and Blessings

 Ramadan: A Month of Fasting and Blessings     Ramadan is the holiest month for Muslims around the world. It is a special time for fasting, prayer, and becoming closer to God. During this month, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, meaning they do not eat or drink during the day. The fast starts with suhoor (a pre-dawn meal) and ends with iftar (a meal at sunset), often beginning with dates and water.     Fasting is not just about food; it also teaches patience, kindness, and self-control. Muslims spend more time praying, reciting the Quran, and helping the poor by giving charity. Many people gather together with family and friends to complete their fast together, making Ramadan a time of togetherness and community.     At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, a joyful festival with special prayers, delicious meals, and giving almost to those in need. Ramadan is a month of blessings, reflection, and becoming a better person. Thank You ...
