The Sanniah Experience (TSE)

  #TSEDramaReview! Spoiler alert!   So let's talk about Ishqiya, a Pakistani drama that aired its concluding (double-episode) episode on the 10th of August, 2020. Although we had doubts about it in the beginning, the last episode was really well presented. From going full-circle in addressing all that needed to be highlighted, the ending was truly satisfying. Firstly. Hamza & Hamna though both deserving of the dangerous repercussions accepted their follies and mistakes yet, there was one thing that set them apart. Having gone through the sequence of events Hamna finally learnt that she will have to be patient in working towards redemption while Hamza stayed stuck in the 'fight for love' dilemma. There is a scene in this episode that really resonated with us and that was when Hamza's friend tells him to show restraint and questions his irrational attitude when he says, why do always have to bring in a fight? Why do you always have to talk about a fight? Secondly. We ...

© 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 Sanniah Hassan   You promised me a forever A happily ever after, How crazy was I? To think you could ever tell me the truth. You ruined me for me, And for the world, I desired for myself You made me think all were Just the same, that all were you. How selfish a creature you were - But my dear I know what I’m worth, And I know that I deserve much better Then whatever  you   had to offer. So adieu amigo! I hope to Never see your  face again. I hope to soar like a bird in flight Who conquers all her hearts’ Desires… what a small word - Insignificant to some, But a world in itself for my perception. I thank you, for letting me go and breaking me, So the man worthy of me could help in healing me Because he deserves my loving more than you ever did I thank you from the bottom of my being That you showed the other side of what The world could be - Ugly! And opened ...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan What’s in a colour? It’s just but that Why do people wish, To be white Not black? Why do some people Desire for things Not theirs Like being white, While being Black by birth Or even in rare cases -  Black when White Why are we so conscious of colour? When in our subconscious We do know  That it is anything but Colour just makes us different It doesn’t define us Doesn’t make us who we are Then why are people so conscious of colour When it matters not at large! All my life I’ve been told That I’m better And why might you ask? ‘cause I’m fairer by skin Yet I choose to believe as some few people Around the world Colour is not who I am And it does not make me, me It is just a means To recognise  me In a room full of those just like me Then why is it that people Wish to be of a colour And not be happy with What they are There ...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan Oh, Milton! Why thwart god’s beloved, Poor, Eve Blamed for misfortunes, Destined for Man. Why not blame Adam? Or Satan perhaps? Why only find fault, With Eve? Is it wrong to Hope, for more than one’s fair share? If so, feel free to find Eve, Guilty. However, you mustn’t Forget You need two hands To clap Like you need Adam With Eve, to commit, The Greatest Sin, of Man.

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan So I have been missing from my blog for a while. Life has been super busy so I haven't had time to read or write anything... felt glum and down, felt unworthy too at times, however, since I have been trying hard to hold onto my faith it has helped me maintain my sanity through it all. Finally, I have decided that I need to set aside some much-needed me-time! and that is exactly what I'm going to do from now onwards. This reminds me that although people usually come up with new years resolutions for this purpose of growing, I will just suffice with finding a #NewMe thereby, I should just have #NewMeResolutions . So here goes a list of things I wish to aspire towards. Things to Strive For! Of course, there is a list. Why wouldn't there be? But in the spirit of being optimistic and realistic, I'm not aiming too high at the moment. So for now I am going to go with baby steps.  Start small. 1 paragraph or 1 page...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sana Bukhat The most positivist happening in the universe is the birth of a human being. To be a mother is the best Blessing bestowed upon a woman. Isn’t it amazing that a woman possesses ample power and strength to bear a foetus for nine months and gives birth like a lioness? But still, this typical society considers her feeble and weak and actually turns her so with its bitter attitude.  This is the 21st century and concepts regarding Pregnancy and Birth are no more a hidden secret. Social platforms, the internet, versatile doctors and gynaecologists can be approached to help. Yet, a lot of negativity, confusion and fear continue to exist among the new generation.  It’s literally not rocket science. Birthing is there since the emergence of life on earth. It is ‘Nature’ and nature always takes its course It’s nothing new, then why so much fear ladies? This is even scientifically proven that a woman’s body is naturally desi...

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By: Anum Chaudhry I wake up every day, looking at the mirror and ask myself, who am I? Am I someone important? Am I a pop star? Am I loved by anyone? Does anybody know me? Millions of thoughts drain my mind, are they relevant? Am I that worthy to be thought off? A life not so awesome but why so lone? Why so much pain? why no trust exists, does it exist at all? Then I see the people there, some living beyond continents or within. I see the joy and happiness that I have seen or given. Guilt over shadows but light finds its way back, When I see myself now, I know I am important to some. So even if I fall, even the fallen arise. So shall I and for the people who matter.

Bill Watterson, American author By Sanniah Hassan Let us wish on a star, up high in the sky. Soar and fly, like a free flying bird.

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By: Sanniah Hassan He calls me beauty – He calls me queen – Why all these labels? Why all these stamps? Why can’t I be me… a woman, Capable of so much more Than just being – beautiful and grand!  Than just being a plaything,  “What’s up doll-face?” he asks with his cigarette butt stuck between his full lips. I flick my hair with attitude To remind him of my worth As I walk away, I shake my hips with the sway of the music, I simply breakaway. I’m no puppet, I’m no doll I am a woman capable of so much more than meets the eye! Share your thoughts with us in the comments down below. You can also reach us on:

(TSE) By Sanniah Hassan “When you are hurt beyond repair, just turn in the direction of your mother and you will see your worth painted plainly in her deep and expressive orbs.” Sanniah Hassan Looking at her face, I’m introduced to another world, One so apart from mine that It engulfs me and keeps me Mobile. Her eyes with all their depth Are shining stars, A ray of light, in this gloomy Universe. A source of life, She sheds a tear – it breaks my heart, Yet I know she must have wept before, Many a times. She is beautiful with how She clings To the infinite hope Within her soul. She fights her body and Mind To conquer herself and become the spirit ruler of, Her world.                     She is the mother Who bleeds tears for t...
