A Green Escape: My Unforgettable Journey Through Sarawak
A Serene Escape to Sarawak: My Green Adventure Begins My journey to Sarawak began with anticipation and a heart full of excitement. Sarawak, a stunning and lush green state of Malaysia, had always held a certain mystery for me. I had heard so much about its natural beauty, the warmth of its people, and its unique culture. So, when the opportunity came, I packed my bag and boarded an early morning flight from Singapore.

Why Singapore Left Me Speechless: A Traveler’s Honest Reflection
A Memorable Goodbye to Singapore and a New Journey to Sarawak On the third day of my trip, I bid farewell to the vibrant and beautiful country of Singapore. I took a commercial flight operated by AeroAsia, heading toward the Malaysian state of Sarawak. As I sat on the plane, watching the island city-state fade into the clouds, I found myself reflecting on how deeply impressed I was by Singapore’s uniqueness—not just in terms of its natural beauty, but its strong values, order, and cleanliness that leave a lasting impression on every traveler.

Exploring Singapore – Day 2 Adventures
Day 2 in Singapore – Friendship, Discovery, and the Soul of a City My second day in Singapore began with an unusual calm. I woke up early, the morning light gently streaming through the hostel window. After a refreshing shower, I tidied up my bed and got ready for the day. Breakfast was simple — just a slice of toast with honey and a glass of warm milk — but it was enough to fuel the excitement that I sensed was waiting for me outside.

A Warm Welcome: My First Evening Alone in Singapore
Part 01 My First Evening in Singapore: From Cold Istanbul to the Warm Heart of Asia After leaving the chilly winds of Istanbul behind, I landed in Singapore in the evening, traveling via Mumbai on an Air Indigo flight. The moment I stepped out of the plane, I could feel the dramatic change in weather—it was warm, tropical, and quite different from where I had come. I was wearing a travel suit more suited for cold weather, but inside the airport, the temperature was comfortable enough.

My Mumbai Airport Story
My Unforgettable Experience at Mumbai Airport During one of my most anticipated journeys, I had a layover at Mumbai Airport while traveling from Istanbul to Singapore. I had intentionally chosen a flight route that passed through India because, as a Pakistani citizen, I’ve always been deeply curious about Indian culture. Unfortunately, due to the long-standing political issues, people from India and Pakistan are generally not allowed to visit each other’s countries easily. So when I found a flight on Air India that gave me a stopover in Mumbai, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to at least get a glimpse of Indian society, even if it was just from the airport.

Chasing Stars, Finding Home: The Story of a Dreamer
The Journey of Santiago: A Story of Dreams, Love, and Wisdom In a quiet village of Andalusia, Spain, lived a young shepherd named Santiago. Unlike most, he was not content with a simple life. He had dreams—vivid, recurring dreams that spoke of a hidden treasure buried near the pyramids of Egypt. Santiago believed in these dreams so deeply that he sold his flock of sheep and set out on a journey to follow what the book calls his “Personal Legend”—his true purpose in life.

The Price of Freedom: Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Justice
A Long Walk to Freedom, written by Nelson Mandela, is not just the story of one man’s life — it is the story of an entire nation’s struggle for dignity, justice, and equality. It is a story that reminds us that freedom is never given freely; it is earned through pain, perseverance, and sacrifice. True freedom demands struggle. It demands standing up even when your legs tremble and your voice shakes. Nelson Mandela was one such man who chose the path of resistance over comfort, sacrifice over safety, and hope over despair.

Behind Bars, But Not Defeated: The Spirit of Imran Khan
Imran Khan – A Journey of Unbreakable Will and Undying Love for Pakistan Imran Khan’s story is not just the tale of a cricketer, or a politician — it is the journey of a man who transformed every "impossible" into "done." From the cricket field to the heart of the nation, he walked a path filled with challenges, ridicule, and opposition — yet stood tall with unshakable belief and love for his country.

Lost in Istanbul: When Loyalty Was Put to the Test
It was a cold, quiet evening in Istanbul, just after 8 PM, when life outside seemed to slow down, but something inside me felt strangely alert. I had just finished a long day at university, tired but relieved, walking toward the metro station when I saw them—two young girls standing alone under the harsh glow of the station lights. One of them was crying—really crying, the kind that comes from a place of fear, exhaustion, and helplessness. Her sobs were raw and uncontrolled, echoing softly against the station walls. The other girl stood beside her, clearly distressed, but doing her best to stay composed. Something about the scene struck a chord deep within me. In a city of millions, it’s easy to become invisible. But in that moment, their pain was visible—and unbearable to ignore. While many passersby walked past without even glancing, I couldn’t bring myself to do the same. There was something about their vulnerability that compelled me to stop. Summoning the courage to approach them, I made my way closer. As I did, one of the girls abruptly walked away into the crowd. The other remained behind, her eyes filled with uncertainty, fear, and silent pleading. A glass wall separated us, but her expression spoke volumes.
