The Armour of light

“I am a big big girl in a big big world”

“Ordinary girl with a lot of passion”

“First Impression”

Usually, After First encounter with me people call me Damn, She’s self obsessed, Arrogant, reserved even rude but the more you get close to me you will realise that’s the one side of story. In real I am sweet, friendly but only limited to small circle, Also often calls me rude because of me being straightforward.

“Perspectives”

I am free bird who can never survive in cage that’s surely because of how my parents have done my upbringing. They never tried to control me or my life but always supported my decisions and never imposed theirs.

I am not reserved person but It’s just that I limit myself to limited people, I just don’t like making temporary relationships and friendships and that is merely a reason why I don’t like socialising much.

I am party animal who loves partying, Trying new restaurants, hanging out with my best friends and family but even then I have limited myself to some boundaries some limits which I never cross despite my parents never imprisoned me in any restrictions #NotYourTypicalGirl 😉

“Passion”

I just love reading novels. It’s like whenever I start a new novel, I enter into new imaginary world. I start imagining the characters and plot in my mind. Moreover in me there is thirst for reading  more and more about dervish, that, how they have spent their entire life in the search of God. How they devoted their entire life for God. I also love listening Sufi Kalam’s. Sufi kalam’s sort of gives me inner peace.

“Evolving identity”

Since, I have always lived in joint family system. I am a person for whom family is everything. I can devote anything for the sake of my relations. It’s like when i see my relations it makes me feel more and more blessed that how they are always there for me no matter what. Also, My Best Friends are my major support system, They have always been there for me through thick and thin. That is why i call myself a person for whom relations are extremely valuable.

Also I am extremely responsible person. Besides being a responsible person, I am also a person who is sympathetic. I have always been a sympathetic person even when I was really young. For example, when I walk on the street and saw some handicapped people or vagrants, I would help them by giving them money or whatever things that I can do for them to have a better living. When I see animals without a home, though I have zoo-phobia, I feel sorry for them and I might buy some food for them to eat. I donate money to the charities for orphans with my family and friends  as well. I feel sympathetic to many people in the world and therefore I do something to help them have a better living. I can’t see small kids begging around and whenever I see any kid, I get extremely upset. I have extreme obsession/love for few things like moon therefore I love sitting under the sky in the midnight and that’s how mostly I choose to end my day before sleeping.

“Every breath you take is a step towards death” Imam Ali (A.S)

I believe, When you imprint this quote of Imam Ali (A.S) in your heart and mind, Trust me your life itself gets easier. You start believing that everything in this world is temporary and you are just a traveler in this world. When you realise this, You find happiness in every small thing.

That exactly pretty much sums up me!

I believe

• Nothings lasts forever.
• Everything in this world is temporary.
•  You come alone in this world, You go back alone.
• Whatever goes around, Always comes around so always watch out your words and actions.
• There is always a reason behind every happening.
• Forgive others for the sake of your own peace.
• Always, Always Stay positive because Allah is the planner.

“Ï go wherever the wind takes me”

I have a strong faith that everything happens for a reason, Every curve in your life takes you somewhere and you eventually grow with all of your experiences. That’s why i says i go wherever the wind takes me that I easily accepts the reality.

Lastly, I would say that I am still struggling in knowing myself.

Freedom of speech

N Vogue

In this modern world education and power of media has made people more aware about their rights of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is the right or power which a person has to, express his or her opinion without any legal penalty or restraint.  A state or a country having a democratic system means that it supports the freedom of speech of the public, but it’s not easy for democratic governments to allow their people freedom of speech and at the same time ensure order and peace within the country.

Freedom of speech is of great significance as it brings a change in society. Freedom of speech allows people to exchange their ideas, thoughts with each other debate on them and come to conclusions which mostly results in good ideas covering the less good ones.  People with a weapon such as free speech can achieve certain rights in the society. In the past women were not allowed to do many things for example vote or work but with help of freedom of speech they were given more rights in the society which further lead to reduction in gender discrimination.  It helps people stand or raise voice against things which are not correct. Many people think of it as a basic right which they should have. Freedom of speech encourages a person to express his personal thoughts without the risk of legal action or fines.

Freedom of speech allows people to express their ideas and opinions but if there is no control over the freedom of speech it can lead to an increase in violence and hatred.  If freedom of speech is not regulated by the government anyone can speak against anyone ,which results in low self-esteem and demotivation ,  further leading to violence and killings. Some ones views can offend someone and they can keep on offending someone in the name of freedom of speech.  Freedom of speech can lead to majority groups offending minority groups in an area. If the public is free to say anything without any control this way they can hurt many people and heat up matters between rival groups. Misuse of freedom of speech is dangerous and considered as something which is impossible to stop.  Social media itself is a platform of freedom of speech through which people express their thoughts and opinions. Usually on social media people tend to post comments or utter things which promote racism and other offending things that lead to hatred amongst people. Social media being easily accessible to everyone has assisted in solving millions of controversies and is promoting women empowerment strongly, through freedom of speech.

There should be freedom of speech but not speech of hate. Freedom of speech should be done in a way that it does not offend anyone and there should be a check from the government on the freedom of speech that would stop people from misusing the freedom of speech. Social media is a platform through which people can easily spread hatred in the name of freedom of speech, against such people government should take strict action.

Free speech is a civil right

The term freedom of expression is sometimes used casually , but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.

Freedom of Speech is the right to articulate one’s opinions and ideas without fear of  retaliation or censorship. This is a golden age for free speech. Your smartphone can call up newspapers from the other side of world in seconds. More than a billion tweets, Facebook posts and blog updates are published every single day in one click.

The positivity of Freedom of Speech has more strong grounds that the negative aspects. this is what the society needs #stophatingeachother. This is what every one needs and i would go for positivity because speaking up for your own right and asking for it has more strength to it rather than being perfectly silent. Egihter be the head authority or the state. It helps a person to talk expressively and to help change the system that has been linked to the negativity.

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” – George Washington

Winking at life

Not everyone has their whole life planned out from the moment they were born. We all go through the moments when choosing what’s right and wrong, what’s better or best and what’s more important, becomes the most difficult step. We have blurry visions for our future because most of us can’t find the person to stand in our shoes and guide us.

My parents had decided an entirely different career for me that I had no interest in. I was a pre-medical student with zero ambition. One question in my blurry vision was why pursue your career in something least of your interest. So at that point my life changed when I took a stand for myself, and began to realize that I am capable of much more things, all one needs is better exposure to locate what they actually want for themselves.

Stay positive and be real because this way, I believe no force will be able to hold you back. I’ve made my own tool from positivity, Humor. Because lecturing people about positivity only gets boring, I tend to spread it with humor and I have come to the realization that this tool urges me to live the excitement boosted up in me, It helps me to light up my mood and those who surround me.

“Embrace the glorious mess that you are.”-Elizabeth Gilbert

Learning is a continuous process and it has helped me in exploring the unique aspects of my personality. Joining Lahore School Of Economics was one of the best decisions of my life. “Three years of grooming” I would say, it has been a roller coaster ride, full of amazing experiences followed by few falls that will always be remembered as a lesson.Through out this time I have learned to  be  more confident and self explicit.

 Since I love travelling, I always try to cut things on my bucket-list. It became essential for me as it reveals my inner strengths and weaknesses. I have overcome my greatest fears such as water and heights and it has fearlessly made me live life to the fullest. I believe for me exposure to different cultures, societies not only broadens your mind but it helps you build a new personality and self-confidence.

 “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Girls love to dress up nice, look pretty , follow the fashion trends but unlike other girls, I would like to be the trend. I would rather design my own clothes than wear a designer’s. One thing I have aimed for sure is to open up my own boutique store someday. I’d like to add it in my little hobbies because I find excitement and joy in designing clothes just like travelling and I practically do it all the time, I dress up my sisters, my mom and design there clothes most of the time.  I am not trying to brag about it but when it comes to fashion advise in my family, they all know where to go.

Moving on towards my love for the entertainment industry. I love acting and  if my family would have given me the liberty to join film industry , I would have definitely joined it and who knows what would have happened. But not everything you wish for comes true. And I genuinely believe that whatever happens, happens for a reason and for our own good. However I fulfill a chunk of my  dream by acting into a movie named “Four walls of sin” in a media course offered to us.

I think this title perfectly suits my life because i have keen interest in numerous things and I try to work these things out side by side to figure out where  I truly want to pursue my career.
