Independence Day Celebration in Karachi.

Karachiites celebrate Independence Day with immense patriotism.

KARACHI: Karachiites celebrated Independence Day with great joy on Friday, August 14, 2020. Usually, there are countless stalls set up all over the city, bringing a sudden green laugh over the roads and streets; however, this year due to the Corona-virus Lock-down, a lot of stalls were found missing from public areas to avoid interaction with people.

Although the conditions all over the world right now, Karachiites did not hesitate to dress all up in green and white, having badges as an accessory. Where most people avoided going out, they clicked pictures for their presence on social media and wrote inspiring and heartfelt messages for their country, while others went full-on patriotic and drove all around the city with the Pakistani flag hung on their cars and bikes, fluttering as they drove around blasting Pakistani naghmas like Dil Dil Pakistani, Yeh Watan Humara Hai, Aye Watan Pyaare Watan, etc. When the clock struck twelve, fireworks were heard all over the city and kept going on for a while. Had the schools been open this year, programs dedicated to the Independence Day would have been held and the roaring sounds of Pakistan’s youth would have been heard singing the National Anthem with all their might.

Independence Day is celebrated with overwhelming vigor, like two years prior, a large stage was set up at Lucky One Mall in Karachi, where several people came and performed arts; canvases of Pakistan’s Northern natural scenery were being painted and people were also offered to be made sketches of with green and white effects, a small concert was also held in the mall to encourage the audience.

In the downtown of Karachi, Saddar, markets were beautifully decorated with green and white fairy lights, and the shops selling out ornaments had special discounts for the occasion. Although not a majority was seen out in parks with families this year, respecting the SOPs; during Independence Day, parks are usually seen full with many families enjoying and children playing with their friends and cousins. Regardless of the restrictions this year, Karachiites celebrated Independence Day with full patriotism.

Your Authority Does Not Make You Superior

Credits: Jot It Down By Aina The human urge to exert authority is far greater than his value of morals. You can quite literally sense a sharp-witted, quintessential authoritative individual from one who is under the authority itself. When you talk with someone influential, you ought to do so with respect because you are made aware of their prominence.  You are helpless right now; had you had the authority, you would turn the tables, won't you? That way, the way they are inducing problems for you, you would do the same to them, even worse if conceivable. Now that is authority. The way an individual is treated strictly according to their authority in unreal if you look at it; how you feel a commitment to well-wish someone in command, and the need to brush off anyone under you. I reckon this post is very much but a proper one, but I feel the need to put this out, to however much of an audience I can.  Just because you have power over someone, does not mean you own them. Authority is l

Adversity and loss make a man wise.

Adversity and loss are the challenges that life brings to us, it is the response of human beings how they handle themselves in such situations. Picture credits: @/kilarov345 on Unsplash The precise qualities of the head, heart and hand can be acquired only through struggle in loss and adversity. In times of difficulty, we gain wisdom more swiftly than in prosperous times. In adverse conditions, one can either flee or face up to the problems and deal with them and, the sagacity comes from the experience, observation, trial, error and the counseling of others. Adversity and loss bring out all the qualities in a man; qualities like patience, self-reliance and humbleness, prove to be a much better school than success and prosperity. Success and ease make a man futile. C an a fighter enjoy the victory if the opponent is weak and broken? He falls prey to comfort and does not fight for real happiness. Loss and adversity not only make a man reach the pinnacles of his glory but also bring him

An Unusual Passion

Everyone has a knack for doing something they admire and strive towards, and being a music critic would be an uncommon ardor. A music critic is a person who is professionally engaged in the analysis and interpretation of works of art. Whether it is in a foreign language or their own, people tend to keep an opinion about the art they listen to. The discography of an artist is the combination of various styles, genres, instruments, techniques, composition, layers, and ideas that are used to produce an album or single by the artist. Bound to the boundaries of my home due to the lockdown amid the Coronavirus, I stumbled upon BTS' music, and to say the least, I was mind blown when I discovered the making of their art. BTS's breakdown of their music got me into the art of criticizing music. I was keen to choose the analysis of music as a passion as I habitually interpret the music I listen to. An example of an artist making me discover something new is when I got to know SUGA's s
