Guest post by Sharmeen Wasim We have all heard this phrase before. ‘Boys will be boys’ has not only made negative actions forgivable, but it has also robbed the potential for men to become better people. So many times, parents have accepted negative behaviours in young boys claiming that it is normal and so many […]
Guest post by Asif Murad Umrani The whole world is in an absolute bizarre situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We could not imagine that this virus would choke the entire world with such anxiety and destruction. It is the first time since the Spanish Influenza in 1918 that we are suffering from nights becoming […]
Guest post by Naureen Charolia “I feel so blessed today.” “Life is terrible.” “I can’t tell you how happy I am today.” “I want to give up on life.” “I am on cloud 9.” “I feel extremely worthless today.” “My life is better from the rest.” “My life sucks ” There are hundreds of such […]
Guest post by Samia Asim It has been a month since my children have been at home because of Covid-19. The government has shutdown schools for safety.

Whether it’s birthdays, festive holidays, anniversaries or celebrations, gift-giving happens all throughout the year. Thinking of what to gift someone can be very difficult, especially if you’re on a budget AND especially if you’re someone who over thinks everything (like me). Why clutter-free gifts? Clutter-free gifts are great not just for minimalists, but for anyone […]
No matter who you are, some part of your day involves listening to another person. This could be at work, in a college lecture hall, at the McDonald’s cashier, or even while watching television. The average person takes in 20,000 to 30,000 words in the span of a day. That’s a lot of words! Listening […]
Let me start by admitting that I have done a lot of ‘nothing’ in the past few weeks. In fact, this is the most ‘nothing’ I have done in YEARS. When my husband saw me writing on this topic, he jokingly asked if I was doing this to make myself feel better. You see, a […]
