Bazz Luhrmann’s Curtain of Trilogies — a universal embodiment of life
I have laid my wet, gleaming, morose eyes on one indulgent and breathtaking mammoth of artistry at least ten times, rounding it off to the nearest figure. And considering the fact that I don’t do well with the same sequences of film playing themselves on repeat on screen, ‘Moulin Rouge’ pushed against all the confines … → Read More
Opposite genders and the case of the 'condescending' opinions
Walter Bradford Cannon penned the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among animals and other organised forms of entities: the “fight-or-flight” response, he called it. This psychological reaction occurs in response to a perceived harmful event or threat to survival. For the purposes of my fairly rational evaluation, let’s take on … → Read More
How to win the tricky mind games that men play
Ever since the dawn of time, humans have been bent on playing with each other, either, to win wars or bring peace between nations. The way to go about doing this has been fought through tactics of ‘maneuver warfare’. Today, people have transgressed this command structure for their own personal gains: they use it to make … → Read More
The Muslim veil ban debate: signs of an evolved world?
It is a great pleasure and honour for all of us to be here today, in a quantum leap of a revolutionised understanding of the world, where the product of a time that once divided it into blocs, now sees into the everyday life and curiosities of its citizens, and treats them with dignity and … → Read More

Ali Banat (born February 16, 1982), an Australian based charity worker, social activist, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and founder of the MATW (Muslims Around The World) Project passed away on Tuesday, May 30, 2018.

Five game changers for overly emotional girls
Men don’t necessarily proceed in a politically correct, enlightened fashion to woo the woman of their dreams. What men think they want and what will actually make them happy are entirely two different things. This is an obnoxiously blatant reminder of the fact that on their hedonistic journey of philandering they’ve temporarily helicopter landed their … → Read More
Understanding the overbearing female ego
Where scientists defy, examine and explain things that others might claim to be acts of God, as a poet and budding writer, I use symbols and romanticized battles of expression to gain insight into the colossal collision of melodramas that life guarantees. Throughout the sands of time, men have been known to have big egos, … → Read More
4 types of people you should stay away from
Nothing disturbs you more than the fact that you made a wrong relationship choice. And it becomes all the more disturbing when you are told things like ‘rely on fate’, ‘go with your gut’, and ‘hope for the best’. Things mostly go wrong because we tend to put on rose-coloured glasses and make assumptions about … → Read More

Everything circles your head like a blur, and then we are told things like “rely on fate”, “go with your gut”, and “hope for the best”. More so, we tend to put on rose-coloured glasses and make assumptions … → Read More

Mehwish Hayat’s smoking picture sparks social media outrage
There was a man who once said to me: “Tum aik acchi family sai belong karti hou, cigarette peena bandd kar do” (You belong to a noble family. Quit smoking). Coming from a truly patriarchal society, this line brings me to the assertion of the male chauvinist: “Women ought to obey men”. Now, this man … → Read More

Zara Noor Abbas’s runway walk and the troll brigade
Just two nights ago, Zara Noor Abbas walked the ramp at the FPWSS 2018 for designer FnkAsia and her walk appeared to be quite the eye-jumper for all: unique in its rhythm, bold in tone, and nothing short of chic and sassy. Then again, is there anything more empowering than watching a woman strut her … → Read More
Zara Noor Abbas's runway walk, and the case of the mocking trolls
In a world where girls often belittle each other and pseudo-feminists chant slogans of “equality” on occasions such as the Aurat March that spanned just last month, it comes as no surprise that unfortunately, the women of Pakistan tend to make fun of each other and fail to have each other’s backs at times when … → Read More
