A day in the life pre-COVID, is a lesson on its own, a reminder of how ungrateful mankind can be. We fail to cherish things, people and experiences as we live them yet, reminisce on the beauty of them when we cannot have them any longer. As we learn to combat COVID-19 as a global community, how about we also learn to rework our priorities in ways that benefit not only our physical but also our mental and emotional health? Let's vow to be kinder to each other, more present in compoany of others and actively engaging in our relationships... and just maybe, we can step positively into the world post-Coronavirus. #LetsKeepTheHopeAlive! . . .

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Fatima Zubair Writer of  A Child of the New  Millennium And the world went mum. Horrified, disgusted and scared. Silenced. In silent spectator hood The silent majority Trudged. Seeing the uproarious minority Beaten, killed and stifled out of existence. But there were promises to keep Secrets to hide Some plans to conceal And all was wearing thin Time was running out Humanity was trampled Little by little It died each day- Making way For more blood In its offing. Revenge and  Retaliation.  For murder cures no ill Genocide suits no cause. Share your thoughts with us in the comments down below or connect with us at:

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By The Sanniah Experience! & Sanniah Hassan I basically developed a love for reading and writing around the time when I was twelve years old [just to be clear, it was more of a realization that I loved them all along. I was just looking for the perfect book]. The book I would read because I wanted to and not because I had to, and that happened to be an Austen classic. The books I had read prior to it had felt tedious partly because I had been assigned Charles Dickens’ books as a child for homework, nonetheless. In my opinion, Dickens should be reserved for an older individual, perhaps a teenager. As a kid, I hated his descriptions and his characters because for some reason I just could not relate to the story I did. So here I am compiling a list of books (in no particular order of significance) for The Sanniah Experience! which has managed to engage me for one or more reasons. These books make for a wholesome experience and tend to ...

(TSE) Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah or the Father of the Nation for Pakistan was born to a Karachi-based family in the 1860s. A lawyer by profession, the Quaid perhaps knew full well the need for a separate homeland for the Muslims of the sub-continent. "Think hundred times before you take a decision, but once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man." Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah Quaid-e-Azam, and his younger sister, Mohtarma Fatima Ali Jinnah, have contributed greatly towards the inception and Partition of Pakistan, literally meaning, the land of the pure.  The Quaid was wiser for his time since he rightfully pointed out the need for and deep-seated existence of the "Two Nation Theory" which clearly stated that Muslims and Hindus were not just two religions, they were actually...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan  With or without me, You should be happy, that’s What my parents always taught me. I recalled their words as I tried to Hold my tears at bay. Today I would leave it all behind. As I stepped into another life, A new family I would leave behind my past, My web, my nest. I would be leaving behind the people I loved the most To start something new, Another family. I was wearing my heart on my sleeve, Though reluctantly, I was moving on. My heart felt like it would explode any minute, It was as if a thousand butterflies were fluttering within me, What could I call this feeling of the in-between? Being good at playing with words was of no use at all today. What can a girl do as she leaves her memories behind? What does she do, when faced with this unwelcomed change? I tried to express myself, But I found it futile. From this moment on, I would not be me, but we. I was movin...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Fatima Zubair Writer of  A Child of the New  Millennium ''I am only one Of the many Shell shocked Dwellers. And nothing more! I wake up each day To hear the uproar Of killings Murders Massacre. And nothing more! What was just ripped Snuffed, and  Bedimmed: Was a humanity A population A people. A species so weightless- Made only more so! And nothing more. I wake up each day  To learn to succumb- because I too Am hamstrung. Hamstrung In the face of a dark,  Dark scourge Of violence Brutality Inhumanity. For I am, but A silent spectator! Just 'Leaning together' Letting go... And nothing more. But aren't we all, A froth? A lather on the sea And nothing more '...filled with straw' Weightless upon decree. Inconsequential, to the extreme? I wish we could be more!'' Share your thoughts with us in the commen...
