The Sanniah Experience (TSE)

©The Sanniah Experience! (TSE) By Sanniah Hassan  In a shocking and heartbreaking turn of events, media reports confirmed the brutal killing of twenty-seven-year-old Noor Mukadam, daughter of former Ambassador Mr. Shaukat Mukadam on the 20th of July last year.  Based on initial reports, the young woman was brutally 'beheaded' after being sexually abused by someone considered to be a friend. An investigation into the case by the Islamabad police led to a confessional by the cold-blooded murderer, the son of an influential business tycoon, Zahir Jaffer.  The news sent shockwaves across the country with many questioning how such an incident was possible. The vibrant young woman's life had been cut short by this monster who pledged that he was a lover 'scorned'.  After being taken into police custody Jaffer and his family knit tales of woe claiming he had proposed marriage and she had rejected, so in a moment of deep self-pity he had resorted to killing her. In doing so...

(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...

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...

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 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...

© 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: Sana Bukhat Yes! I was Fake. When I showed off to take, Things as Light As a Flake. Life As easy  As a piece of Cake. It was all Wrong, My mistake. Then I learned to make, Myself as strong As fully baked. Yes! Life has to Move on. Just bear in mind,  you will never be disappointed, If you live for God's Sake.  Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

© 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.

© 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.

© 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...
