Edit: I may have said things in this blog I wouldn't agree now or maybe the way I said it is too childish, so keep in mind that this is an old blog. I'm not deleting it because blogs are my first online appearance as a writer :p I am writing a letter to life for the #DearZindagi activity at BlogAdda. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5DkO7ksXY8E . Dear Zindagi, I love you!! Seriously. You're beautiful! No matter how many hardships I face, how many heartbreaks I go through, I'll never stop loving you! I'm very grateful to you and thank god for blessing me with you. You've always taught me new lessons. Sure, there are times when everything seems to be going wrong and you think everyone is against you but I never thought of letting you go because I know you are a gift from God and my loved ones have right for you too. Whenever I'm depressed or anxious, I just go out and appreciate the beauty of nature do something which distracts me. Many peo...

Lots of negativity started pouring lately.. and I can understand how you feel when someone talks bad about your nation and countrymen... I feel the same when I see something against mine... But there's a difference in the way I handle it.I ignore.That's the right way. There are dumbos on both the sides who don't like peace.. ignore them and live happily.. world peace is the need of the hour.If the negativity rises, start blocking them so that you don't have to see it. Don't get depressed and stress yourself..At the end of the day, we all are humans, divided by boundaries. Love for all, hatred for none.🙌 This is the first time I wrote a blog on mobile! So, I kept it really short. This is all I messaged to a Pakistani friend of mine. Edit: I may have said things in this blog I wouldn't agree now or maybe the way I said it is too childish, so keep in mind that this is an old blog.

Assalamualaikum people! God has gifted human beings with an awesome ability of thinking. As we all know we have a brain and it helps us to take decisions. No,I'm not gonna talk about cerebrum,cerebellum etc. :P That sounds good in your biology class only.Or not.We will discuss the less-talked about part. Many of us don't think much before acting and many just think but don't act! Both are wrong ! We need to think and act. Before doing something, we should ask ourselves that what are we going to do is right? And analyse a little. But everything we do is different. Somethings doesn't require a much thought! Like choosing between two tees! We shouldn't waste our time in thinking for irrelevant things! Think about problems people face and how to solve them... This doesn't necessarily mean that you should just think about poor and needy, you should also help your family out sometimes. For an example, your little brother is having a problem in arranging clothes...

What is Etiquette?  Well, according to Wikipedia it  is  a code of behaviour that delineates expectations for  social behaviour  according to contemporary  conventional   norms  within a  society , social class , or  group . All of us are taught how to behave, talk and eat in public. We have also pretty much excelled in it but when it comes to social media, we are not quite sure about etiquette. We haven't taught about it anywhere.  So, I thought we should have a little discussion about it. I am not teaching anything, I am just sharing some things which I think can help us. I repeat, I am not 'teaching' anything and there could be things which even I should start exercising as none of us is perfect.  Having said that, let us quickly discuss few important things. 1) Remember the fact that although it is virtual media, people are real. Hence, no playing with feelings bro! Think before ...

Assalamualaikum people ! As you can read in title, I have reached more than 2.5 k views and I actually did not even knew it :P So, I will suggest you all beautiful people to leave your comments below,so that I know someone is reading :P BTW thanks for the love <3 Affan Syed. Edit: I may have said things in this blog I wouldn't agree now or maybe the way I said it is too childish, so keep in mind that this is an old blog.

Assalamualaikum, Remember a blog I wrote about children long ago? Well, this is also about them but not actually a sequel to it, just another blog with the same topic. So,let us jump right into it :P Let me narrate you a little incident that happened recently. I was in a masjid and a little kid to me and said "Bhayya! Can you button my sleeve ?". I looked at him, smiled and buttoned his sleeve. This seemed cute to me for some reason. Weird? it may be :P But the point is that kid was so innocent and cute,exactly the way child of his age should be. After the salah on my way to my cousin's home (I was at my cousin's as there was a family gathering), I kind of felt nostalgic about no longer being a child...I mean how calm and relieved their minds are! No weekend tests, no assignments, no exams, nothing! All they worry about is how to convince dad to let them eat an ice cream :P Really! Children are so happy and carefree!  A few hours later, I decided to take a walk ...

Hey guys ! I am back...I was offline for a whole month.My mobile was seized so that I may study for my exams (I found other ways to waste my time though :p) But I got a subject for my blog living offline for a month !  Read a page I wrote on 16/2/16 (In classroom) : "I am sitting in my exam hall and waiting for examiner to bring the papers (Pre Finals are going on then).At this point of time,normally people revise the syllabus but my mind is somewhere else...I will have to be anti-social(networking sites :P) now ! I am really missing some people there.  DOES THAT MAKE ME AN ADDICT  ? On Social sites,you will find many people.Some do pure time pass by gossiping,indulging in fan wars all the time. Everyone joins social sites for time pass but I think our pastime should not ever be reason for anybody's bad time.Most of people on Social sites be like "We can do anything here,it is virtual world" but they neglect the fact that though world is virtual,peop...

The New Year is here! Everybody around is really happy! They are partying, changed ?dancing and exchanging wishes but wait... Do you really think any changes?Same jobs, same houses, same EVERYTHING. The date has changed and nothing else! Talking about New Year resolutions, I would say it is something we all know that we are not gonna follow but we keep them just because it is a tradition !No ! Don't mistake me for old and boring soul XD I am just having a dekko a things we do because it is tradition ! Just doing everyone is doing is normal and I don't like normal things, so I do this stuff ;) Let us think some productive stuff  XD * All of us must have committed some mistakes in 2015 ! Make sure you won't repeat them in 2016 ! * Every event in our life is with a purpose, be it bad or good ! Good things may make us feel good but bad things give us experiences ! I always say experiences are best teachers ! They teach us the things which we are not taught at home or univ...

Well, the word in the title was never this famous as it is now ! We have been listening it everywhere these days ! Let me tell you what Intolerance or  असहनशीलता   actually means ! It means " unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own"  Sounds familiar,right ? In India, we have been debating non-stop that is there Intolerance on rise or not but no one is working on it !  The following incidents made "INTOLERANCE" the most talked word : http://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2015/12/instances-of-intolerance-in-india-in-2015/ When  'Dadri Lynching Case' happened, some people said "Intolerance in India is on rise" and I opposed them saying "This is an extremely unfortunate event but you can't blame whole country just because of a little bunch of hooligans"... Was I wrong ? No, I still stand by it but I would say a huge bunch of hooligans now. Sorry but I must say that Shiv Sena/BJP activists are wo...

Respect Girls, they say...To this, following questions are natural! "Why shall I ?","How do they deserve it ?" and so on... Well, The word "respect" has two meanings:- 1.A feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements 2. Due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. And what you are supposed to do with girls is the latter one! In our society, there are many cases where girls are treated like furniture! You may say they must be illiterate people but sad truth is that even educated people do so! Society is becoming more and more disrespectful to girls and I think this is something we should really think about seriously! There are many ways through which it happens! And it is possible to stop it with thinking upon one simple thought "You don't have right to disrespect anyone's sister, mother or wife just because she is not your sister, mother or wife !" If you t...

Never wanted to write the kind of blog I am writing now! But before conditions worsen, I thought that I must! People may say that my age is not suitable for this stuff...No matter how young I am, I can sense what is happening in my country! Since some days, intolerance in India seems to be on the rise, thanks to the dirty politicians! If a person can be killed for the kind of food he eats, how can you that any "Acche Din" has arrived?! Well, I don't want to get into that debate...there are many other issues too but the point I want to make is why some parties want to divide the nation into the terms of religion?  I mean, come on religion is something which is between a person and his creator! It is person's own choice to have any religion! You cannot deny this fundamental right of an Indian! And this is extremely sad how politicians are spewing hatred among citizens through their venomous speeches and even sadder to see people follow them not knowing that polit...

Sorry for the long break. So, we were talking about feelings... They are many kinds of people in this world.Let us talk about the ones who belong to my group(kinda). These people are usually very very sweet and caring.They care for everyone.And when people they care about don't do the same, they get hurt.Sometimes, very very much! You won't find such people everywhere...If you have them, take care of them! Feelings are always precious.You can't take your words back, so better to be careful.Just because you don't like anyone, you can't hurt them.Take care of people's feelings.Don't hurt anyone without a cause.Don't look down upon anyone. Well, I know there are some people who don't deserve this kindness.They never think before saying anything to you!They try to be as mean and as nasty they can! Try to be polite with them too if you can but yes rudeness with them is justified :P Yes.my point of view ;) This topic is huge,think we may need som...

Children...I love them and as the matter of fact I remember my childhood when I see cute children :P *wink* Innocence is an essence of their sweetness! But yes...we are not able to see innocence in children nowadays the way we used to have! I have many memories from my childhood! I remember many things which people won't expect me to! I can recall incidents of the time when I was just a year old! Okay okay...let us not get diverted from the topic! "Child is the father of Man"...yes, is! children !We should take many fewer children! 1) When children fight with each other, long time it does a long time for them to reunite ! > What if we follow this and have our issues solved quickly without letting ego come in between ? 2) They make sand castles,and destroy them too ! > They are giving us a reminder that life on the earth is not permanent ! Everything came here to be destroyed ! 3) When they need something,t hey will just get it 1 They have "Kisi bhi...

Feelings...it is something which makes human beings different from animals! Feelings vary from person to person.Some people are of happy nature, they smile, laugh and joke.Some people are grumpy, they get angry over little things.......and some are quiet, they feel bad, they get sad, upset but their feelings may not appear on their faces...now, these ones are dangerous! They may smile and talk with you whereas they are planning your murder in their head, ha ha! People hurt feelings many times and sometimes they don't even have a clue that they are hurting someone! Will continue this sometime later because it is 12:36 am here and I need to sleep :P                                                     And for this blogger keeps on nagging me to write in Hindi all the time,                 ...

This is the probably first serious blog written by me... Before reading this note it that this blog is written by an average teenager... Recently,I heard about an incident occurred in our neighboring country which made me cry... A girl and a boy of 10th grade committed suicide because they thought their families wont understand their "love" ! They even wrote suicide notes to their families in which they wrote goodbye message and ended it with "Love u mama & papa"....you mean really ? Come on ! How sad is it that so called 'love' of few years took over the love of parents who have given birth to you !!! The very ones who raised you !!! The very ones who taught you to talk,walk,laugh,smile,everything !!! How do this all started ? Movies and Novels,right ? Guys,have we all lost all our senses ? Don't we know that Novels and Movies are written down,so every event is as writer desires ! We can't live our life in a filmy way because we aren...

Dear Haters, Raise your standards for mine are high! Try to love yourself because if you love yourself, you will lose interest in me! Read biographies of famous people because I bet you will find their lives lot more interesting than mine. And you please don't worry about the frequency of mine being on social media or wasting time anywhere else because I promise that won't hurt you anyway! Concentrate on your work rather than wasting your time on me, I guess it will do good for you ! You make me think I'm the best person on the Earth because I know your views can never be right! And look,I' m neither any celebrity nor any person of high regard, so please stop all that "research" on me! And remember this, you 'll never see me frown, so give up! I was born smiling ;) P.S. You ain't my mum, you don't need to tell me what I do and what not :P                                       ...

Sick of being how you are? Or even if you aren't, should ?don't you should? *Let us change for better! *No! Don't overburden yourself but also don't underestimate! *Every month, consider over 3 habits you need to change...*Listen to motivational lectures and read good books. *Don't say anyone about the change, not even to yourself.Just shed off bad habits and embrace good ones! *Be just, good and kind to people around. *Lower your eyes. *Ask for forgiveness from people you may have hurt (both intentionally and unintentionally) and seek forgiveness from God for the sins you commit. (Say Astagfirullah) *Never underestimate God.He forgives no matter how bad you are. *Be sincere. Happy Changing ;)                                                                                 ...

My blogs are special....why? 'Coz they don't come with weeks of preparation. 'Coz they don't follow any particular rule. 'Coz I write directly from my heart. 'Coz I don't gather all info from here and there and put it under my name. 'Coz they are quite relatable. And... Because I write them :P                                                                                 Keep reading Affanish Blogs! :) Edit: I may have said things in this blog I wouldn't agree now or maybe the way I said it is too childish, so keep in mind that this is an old blog. I'm not deleting it because blogs are my first online appearance as a writer :p

Forgive and forget,they say... Do you really think it is that easy ? No! It is not... When you stand in the shoes in victim,you will know it...Else,advicing is favourite hobby for most of the people,now-a-days! Before you say "Forgive him/her,why are you making it an issue",just imagine yourself in that situation... Okay,forgiving is somehow,we can do it but forgetting...impossible for me! I cannot forget anything...especially things which hurt me! "But yes,I am killing all this negativity because I am on my way to become a Better and Happier person ! " And if I may,I will advise you to do the same ! 'Coz maine new funda apnaya hai "Haters don"t deserve your attention"                                                                                         ...

APJ Abdul Kalam was ex-president of India.He was a great Scientist, popularly known as "Missile Man Of India" for inventing Agni, Trishul etc... Well, this seems to be a lesson of your English Textbook, ha ha! He was not only a president and scientist who did so much for INDIA but he is also an example, an inspiration... Born in 1931 in the streets of Rameshwaram, APJ lead a poor life but didn't give up his dreams... He used to study sitting beside brahmin kids and was often invited for meals at his brahmin Teacher's home which he readily accepted...Such was his upbringing, very secular!And we need to learn many lessons from his life! He worked very hard to earn bread for his family...he even used to sell newspapers. "Don't stop working hard after your first victory.It is the time more lips are ready to say that your first victory was mere 'luck' " is one among his innumerable quotes. He even wrote many books like "Wings Of Fire...
