    Ocean

    The sound fills my ears, at once loud and gentle. The sound of your waves inching toward the sand. It drowns out everything else but not in a way that numbs the senses or pierces through peace. No, not at all. Your sound moves too slowly, And too melodically, to disturb me at all. You are a musician without even trying. With every wave and hint of seafoam, with every glimpse at your unflinching endlessness you remind me that you care for me, and for my sadness, but that there

    Spooky Stories: IMPOSTER

    It’s October 30th, 2020. I have been looking forward to this day. Not just because it’s Halloween, but also because it would be the first time in a long time that I would be going on a date. I met this guy online, and we have been speaking for three months. I used to be someone who didn’t believe in love and hated the idea of it. I always thought I would never fall in love with anyone, but he just seemed perfect. It was so shocking. He liked all the things I liked and hated a

    Spooky Stories: Drowning with “Deedam”

    I went to a boarding school nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas in Northern Pakistan. Located on 100 acres of rolling grounds, nature isolated us from civilization, with a stream cornering the campus from one side and unkempt wilderness of trees and foliage surrounding us from the other three sides. Cries of nocturnal creatures would punctuate the silence of the night. As you lay in bed, you couldn’t help but listen hard and, amidst the odd assortment of sounds of roost

    Spooky Stories: The Bride of Dolmen Street

    It was just a normal day, a day like any other in the life of Taimur. Having already clocked in another long day at the office, it was time for him to head home back to his wife. Taimur had decided to work late again, even against the wishes of his wife, as he thought the extra income would help the family. On his commute back, Taimur decided to get dinner for his family, and stopped at the only open restaurant, still almost half an hour away from home. The half-asleep cashie

    Internet of Melancholy: Remembrance of Obsolete Pleasures

    In the days when light and goodness reigned and the world’s evils could be sidelined by the blissful ignorance of childhood, boys waited excitedly for the first Saturday of each month. For in the folds of that blessed Saturday’s newspaper, you could find a sleek copy of Supa Tigers. Supa Tigers was a comic that followed the adventures of Prince and his club as they took on their foes on the cricket pitch to establish global dominance. The club wore the greens of Pakistan’s na

    Parler- Unbiased Social Media?

    Just because Facebook and Twitter have banned Donald Trump’s supporters does not mean that they are shut out totally from social media. Parler is an application that is the new platform on which they are now active. However, search engines and app stores have recently removed the app. Does that mean no social media platform exercises complete freedom of speech? First of all, what is Parler and why is it being removed from the internet? According to Forbes, “Parler is a social

    Be Heard: Georgetown Launches its First Cultural Climate Survey

    Georgetown University in Qatar launched its first-ever cultural climate survey late last month to assess students’ perceptions of diversity and inclusion on campus.
