The Robot Wife
Two Wives and No Peace Ahmed had been married twice. The first wife was a non-stop critic — from his socks to his soul, nothing escaped her sharp tongue. The second one barely spoke, and when she did, it was just to say, “Fine.” Both marriages ended in disaster. Either he was too complicated to understand, or perhaps, he never tried to understand anyone at all.

Nehemiah's Sunshine
Nehemiah’s Sunshine Nehemiah wasn’t the kind of boy you noticed right away. He wasn’t loud. Didn’t run with the wild kids or throw his head back laughing in the corridors. He was quiet—observant. The type who sat with his chin tucked, one shoelace always undone, sketching strange, beautiful things in the corners of his notebooks.

Adolf Hitler: The Dual Facade of a Tyrant
So I am to bring you some historical facts... Adolf Hitler remains one of the most studied and reviled figures in modern history. Rising from obscurity to become the dictator of Nazi Germany, Hitler's legacy is marked by extreme nationalism, mass genocide, and catastrophic war. Yet behind the propaganda, public speeches, and photographs lies a man whose complex character fused calculated charisma with monstrous cruelty. To understand Hitler's real character, one must examine not only his actions, but also the psychological and ideological foundations that shaped them.

Spreading Islamophobia Online
They say Islam oppresses women. That Sharia is cruel. That Islamic punishments are barbaric. But these claims are rarely examined in the light of truth. The rights Islam gave to women—centuries before any modern constitution—are hardly ever acknowledged. Islam established a woman’s right to inherit, own property, seek knowledge, and live with dignity and safety. These rights were not gifts of the West or of liberal movements, but divine legislation. Still, this history is deliberately hidden or distorted.

The Last Letter and a Tiny Promise
The Last Letter and a Tiny Promise In a modest home nestled amidst the bustling lanes of a small town, lived Ahmed—a man whose entire universe revolved around the sparkling eyes and infectious laughter of his little daughter, Aima. She was not just his child, but the very essence of his being, the reason behind every breath he took. Aima, with her boundless curiosity and uncontainable energy, was pure joy incarnate—a tiny burst of sunshine who saw her father as nothing short of a superhero.

Wounds Without Scars..
Hello dear readers I am writing this article for you people. Plz like it and give your reply in comments. So lets start. Not all pain bleeds. Some wounds don’t bruise, don’t scar, don’t scream — but they stay. They linger in the soft places between our thoughts, in the quiet of sleepless nights, in smiles that hide too much.

The Last Cup of Tea
The house hadn’t changed. The cracked veranda tiles still sighed under his feet, just as they did when he used to chase after the neighborhood kids. The faded wind chime still hung by the front door, though it no longer sang. Dust lay gently on the windows, as if time itself had exhaled and settled in.
