Gaza Couldn't Survive

By Fatima Zubair Writer of  The Child of a New Millenium 'Have you heard the sound, Of a warning alarm, Screeching through  A deafening Calm? Have you seen a struggle, To collect, Recollect A household, Uninformed? A broken glass, One silent blast. Only the dregs of concrete, Last. Have you heard the cries, A screaming In the vault? Have you seen a city, Painted in mahogany? Of Homeless tags, In Nameless rags! If you haven't seen humanity, Such a humanity, An entire generation wiped, Then look again! It's in Gaza, That Gaza couldn't survive. Gaza couldn't survive!' You can connect with us at thesanniahexperience@gmail.com or contact us via:

Genocide Suits NO Cause!

© 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:

I wish we could be more!

© 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...

Oh, Milton!

© 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.

Mission "To New Beginnings":

© 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...

Sunshine

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan The sun shines deep, down on me, And it makes me feel All happy and giddy, inside It gives me warmth And joy, That I never can describe. The sun shines like an incandescent light, And shows me where I come from, and where I belong. It shows me where to go. It shines its rays on me, And makes me feel comfort and bliss, Like never before. What is it about the sun? That makes me so? When I question if I belong? It shines on me like a bright new day, A new start, A re-birth, one of a kind, It makes the doubts go away. Like a mother watching over her child. It makes me indescribably comfortable, It keeps me fuzzy and warm. And I know that I do, I do belong, no matter what the haters say, There is a place for misfits like me in this cruel world. And I know because the sun shines Deep down upon me, and chases the pain away, The sun shines its rays and love, like a mot...

Minute Effort Counts

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By: Sana Bukhat Tiny drops of water,  Do have the power, To make a river. Small words of Love, Can raise Above, A grieved Heart. Little act of Kindness,  Turns into brightness, A Dark Life.  So, Broaden your minds,  Think differently. Open your hearts,  Listen carefully. Sweeten your tongues, Soothe Lovingly.  World is replete with misery, People are exhausted.  Instead of just worry, Go Ahead. A Slightest effort of yours, Can make a huge difference. A single person can’t handle everyone,  But at least, someone should be there for someone. Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

Who Am I?

© 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.

Walk Down Memory Lane: The Journey of a Hopeful Blogger

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan Reminiscing on my days as a student and laughing at silly typos going, "what was I thinking?" has me rolling back into my shell. Sometimes it takes a little introspection of the self to realize how far we have come. As an individual, a woman, a wife, a daughter, an aspiring writer, and a somewhat reserved human, life can be a roller-coaster of emotions. Lately, I have been thinking about the next big step I should take... too much comes to mind yet not enough time. So much to learn, much too much to unlearn before I can spread my wings and fly into the murky waters of life again. However, on a lighter note, checking out a blog I started for a project back in the day has reminded me of the multiple faces I possess, which if taken care of and nurtured properly can bloom into a beautifully strong and independent woman (hopefully wiser for her age!). If you agree that looking back sometimes helps one move forward with gr...

Letters to Loved Ones

© The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan I often think of what we would say to our loved ones if we could send them letters after their passing. So I decided to write a series of letters to those loved ones. This being the first, from a young daughter to her father as a way t thank him for his efforts in his life and after. Dear Father, Today I can proudly tell you that I have grown up into a kind-hearted, almost-independent young woman. I say almost because although I have come a long way I still have many obstacles to cross. I'm no longer that little girl you cherished and loved, who you constantly cocooned in your embrace to protect me from the evil eyes of people and society, to cherish me tenderly and make me believe that I am on top of the world because I have you by my side. No matter what the world throws at me, I know that I can pull through because I am your daughter. Although I am your princess, I can also be a warrior. Do you remember how I used to l...

I love each Freckle And bump, I call it all my own. I don't care what you think Because I am superwoman , Super-tall. I am phenomenal! I may be a woman Yet I know how to stand, And stand tall I do. My height – And my face May contradict My thoughts. I may be short But I know how to stand tall! I am superwoman , Super-tall. Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

Mother

© The Sanniah Experience! (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...
