It wasn’t that he forgot—it was that he was afraid. Afraid of the handwriting inside, afraid of the memories it would bring rushing back.

The Kneeling Mother
The sun had not yet risen over the city of Kobe, Japan, when the earth began to tremble. It started as a low rumble, like a distant thunder, and then quickly escalated into a violent roar. Buildings swayed like trees in a storm, glass shattered, screams filled the air, and within moments, everything turned into dust and chaos.

Hungry River
Mera naam Zayden hai. Main ab teen saal ka hoon. Mujhe chizoun par chadhai karna bohot pasand hai — kursi, table, bed, aur sabse zyada apni almari.

Streets echo with footsteps, markets hum with trade, and lights burn late into the night. Yet across the globe, there exist cities where the lights are dark, the buildings stand silent, and the wind moves through abandoned streets like an unseen ghost. These ghost towns—once full of life—stand as haunting reminders of economic shifts, environmental disasters, and human migration. In the post-industrial world, their presence raises pressing questions about progress, sustainability, and the fragility of urban life.

"Smiling Faces, Silent Cries: The Battle No One Sees"
Not Him. Not Now. It was supposed to be a season of renewal. A fresh start. New city, new home, new possibilities. We had packed our lives into boxes labeled with sharpies — “Kitchen,” “Books,” “Toys,” and the infamous “Misc.” It was chaotic, but we were smiling. Tired, sure. But hopeful. ☀️
