Voltaire’s Double Punch
What if the most powerful critiques of society came not from lectures or revolutions, but from biting wit hidden in short, fictional tales? Voltaire’s Candide and Zadig might seem like simple stories at first glance—adventures full of absurdity and misfortune—but behind the satire lies a depth that continues to echo through centuries. Why do these two works, written in the 18th century, still resonate today? Because they strip humanity bare with humor, irony, and uncomfortable truths. Voltaire doesn’t just make you laugh—he makes you think, sometimes without you even realizing it.

I Am Not Sexy
"I am not sexy." These four words used to haunt me like an unfinished sentence. In a world where allure is currency, and beauty opens doors faster than brains or kindness ever could, not being “sexy” felt like being left behind. Forgotten. Unwanted.

Strange Sally Diamond. Top Story - June 2025.
I picked up this book at the B&N’s Blind Date With a Book display. I loved the entire concept of selecting a mystery book based on a one-sentence teaser. Especially because they were lovingly wrapped by hand and the handwriting must have taken good effort (if they used the cursive it would have been even more attractive). As a public relations professional I think this marketing technique is brilliant, tapping into the book lovers’ serendipitous desire to be surprised with something new.

I'm a Lucky
Everyone told me I was unlucky. Born in a storm, left on a church step in a cardboard box with a blanket and no name, I was named "Lucky" by the kind nun who found me. She believed every child was a blessing—even the ones the world had abandoned. I grew up in the Saint Mercy Orphanage on the edge of the city. We didn't have much: second-hand toys, chipped plates, and hand-me-down clothes that never fit quite right. But we had stories, hope, and each other.

The letter that changed everything
Tania was 28, and from the outside, everything looked perfect. She worked as a customer relationship officer at a prestigious bank in Lahore. Her hair was always tied neatly, her heels clicked with authority, and her phone buzzed constantly with updates, approvals, and balance sheets. Her family was proud. Society approved. She was “settled.”

A Message From the Past That Changed My Life. AI-Generated.
GI never expected a dusty old envelope to unravel the tightly sealed parts of my heart. It wasn’t the sort of letter you’d expect to find in a forgotten drawer — especially not one addressed to me, in a handwriting I hadn’t seen in years. The message from the past wasn’t just ink on paper. It was a mirror. A voice. A moment that paused time and made me rethink everything I believed about life, love, and purpose.
