Her Coffee

 She sipped on hope, but the taste turned bitter,

Left the cup half-full, her heart even emptier.


Summer breeze made her leave her work to have a cup of coffee to compensate for all the cold cups. She had a few sips and left the mug when having a coffee was all her pleasure. The reason for looking outside the window is to calm the thunder inside the room.

Home Felt Whole Lonely night & broken heart in a winter cloud. Give me space because I want to be out of the race, Old pictures with torn letters, long emails & beautiful cards. Hard to believe was it Real? Like. “it’s been a while”. Took them back to the wall of memories. Time flies to nurture wounds, knowns by men in the veil.

The irony is heavy if years ago everything had been placed on the table, if silence had been replaced with truth, I would have stood there still choosing, still staying. But the past does not stay quiet. It waits in the heart, collecting moments, waiting to be felt all at once. Some who say they stand with me still carry old conversations where my name was not protected. They walk beside me in public, but leave me alone when...

  By TAYYBA KAKAR   Family is not always your blood relations. Sometimes strangers get more close to us and perform those activities and duties which has to be performed by family members. If families are not present to support you emotionally, financially or socially then its useless to call them as family. Its divine phenomena, though cannot be changed but yes cannot be often consider. In every family few are financially and socially strong, few are born disable, few are born abnormal, to support each other, to stand in crucial times with one another. If you lack these qualities then sorry you are not worth to be called as a member of family. Sometimes its in shape of teachers, friends, colleagues, neighbors, CLASSMATES, but not "MAMA, CHACHA, KHALA, PUPO, COUSINS. There were two families in this world, relatives formed blood family and friends the water family. If your blood family happened to be nice and caring, you could count your lucky stars and make the most of it; and...
