Introduction: Welcome to a world of culinary indulgence! Today, we have a truly delightful recipe that will awaken your taste buds and satisfy your sweet
Have you ever experienced the gaze of hungry eyes? I am sure you too must have felt very awkward and uncomfortable. Today, I will share with you an experience I had at NADRA headquarters in Islamabad.
A couple of months ago, I went there for some documentation regarding my National Identity Card. The woman at the reception dealt with me in a very professional way and answered my queries, unlike other females at the reception desk.
I could clearly analyze the professionalism of the woman who not only answered my queries but was dealing with all in the same professional way. I sat down on a chair nearby and started looking around the hall while waiting for my turn.
People entered the office and went to their desired stations. Off and on, the lady at the reception looked at me and did her work. It was a normal routine for me. People staring at me. But that day, I was not the center of attraction.
It was the woman at reception. People sitting beside me passed cheap comments on her and that caught her attention as a result of which she looked at me. I too was getting annoyed by their remarks and gazes for the woman. Soon their turn came and there was a sign of relief on the woman’s face.
Then there came some more visitors. I would say, a total nuisance. The moment they entered. They sat in front of the reception desk and started passing comments on the woman. They would say something in each other’s ear and laugh by looking at her.
Let alone how she felt, I felt uncomfortable too. That’s when I realized, no matter how sophisticated our society becomes unless they accept a person as part of the society, only then can that individual succeed.
No matter how professional a person may be in her line of work, this society will stigmatized her either in the name of a woman or a transgender.
We as a society, are in dire need to redefine policies and looking at people in a particular way. For this collective efforts are needed to include the transgenders in the main framework of our systems and think about them.
Think about it. Until next time, stay safe and Healthy.
I have often wondered why is it said, one should always look for signs/symbols? Over the years, I have come to understand the reason for this.
Today, I aim at talking about signs/symbols and how they affect our day to day life. So let’s start.
As an individual, in our day to day life, I observe and look for signs/symbols that can smooth one’s life. And believe me, these signs are very transparent.
You just need to respond to them.
Most of the time, we are alone in life. We may not have parents who can attend to our problems or needs or siblings or our marital relations.
It is these signs/symbols that pull us through these times.
I would rather say that it is God in one or the other form who is protecting us from evil and bad that is spread out in the world and society at large.
We, as individuals and as a whole need to have a positive bent of mind to grasp these signs and symbols. Positivity always draws positivity, remember that.
In our day to day conversation with people at large, we come across all kinds of people.
I would recommend all of you to have a positive approach towards people. You never know, with what bent of mind they are approaching you.
They might be in grave need of talking to someone or might be going through some trouble in their financial lives. Don’t worry they will not ask for your money.WHY?
The reason is if they have self-respect, they will always offer you their skill in response to which you in return will offer them money. It is a two-way trade and you my friend, need to be vigilant to assess this.
The internet is full of fake and fraud people, I know and have seen much-extorting money from the innocent in the name of help and all kind of stories. Use your brain and don’t become prey to their sugar-coated tongue.
All the same, I would not deny the fact that this is the trouble times, and you never know, who around the corner is in desperate need and approaches you.
There are times when you need to listen to your heart than your mind and this is the reason why I reiterate on looking for signs/symbols around you.
And let me tell you one more thing, it is the Creator’s will to put fear and sympathy for the needy in your heart. Keep on doing your share without thinking for a moment, what will happen next.
There is a reason for people and events to come your way. Sometimes, you become a beacon of light for others, and sometimes it is vice versa. Whatever, the scenario, adapt accordingly.
Our Holy Book, again and again, refers us to look for signs and read between the lines. For, there is a clue for those who seek. Think about it.
