I'm usually an exceptionally happy individual - bouncy, optimistic, loud, and glad to share affection with the world. When I do get in one of my "funks" it's very short-lived: a quick session of crying and then I'm back to functioning at my usual, extroverted level. I also have a love for slow, sad music. … Continue reading Thinking aloud

Short note: Contrasting passions
I don't know. I've pretty much decided to give my life to the world as a vessel for the greater good - whatever that may be, it's 6am and I'm feeling dramatic - and become a harbinger for positive revolution and sundry via studying politics and international affairs, but I really really love fashion and design. … Continue reading Short note: Contrasting passions
The origins of humanity
What is it that makes us humans? Most people would say it's that we're the most intelligence species out there. Now while that may be debatable in practice (see: the history of the world) it does hold some merit. Sort of. This won't be a very long post but I disagree with intelligence being the definer … Continue reading The origins of humanity
Off to the races
My father has one condition - and one condition only - upon which rest my hopes for going to Boston this coming fall: I have to start running. Often. Primarily, I assume, so that I can continue this habit over the course of the four years that I do spend in Boston and, hopefully, throughout … Continue reading Off to the races
Short Note – the path that led to the present
Sometimes I think back and I'm in awe of the fact that, at every point in my life, I made choices and decisions that led to me becoming the person I am today. Not hanging out with that one friend when I was five years old, growing apart from someone else, picking Winchester as the … Continue reading Short Note – the path that led to the present
Write what you know
As I was reading The Fault In Our Stars by the incredible John Green, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by his vivid description of Amsterdam; it wasn't just your run-of-the-mill, "What a beautiful city!" but a deep, intimate portrayal of a place known by a man who loves it. It makes sense - John, … Continue reading Write what you know
Short Note: Sonder
Chances are you've never heard of this word before. It's okay, neither did I until today. But it's one of those words which when you find out the meaning, it blows your mind and sends a tingle of familiarity down your spine that is so deliciously relevant that you wonder how you hadn't crossed paths … Continue reading Short Note: Sonder
To my nine year old self
I should be studying. Truly I should. And it is exactly for that reason that I am making a blog post! Where some people look at the past with nostalgia, I am constantly looking forward to - and subsequently, freaking out over - the future. I have always been like that. There was never a … Continue reading To my nine year old self
Starting this off with a deep breath
I was bound to get one or more rejection letters. I think what sucks most is that the first proper response I got was a rejection letter because, for a mind as superstitious as mine, that means subsequent bad news-But just now, out of absolutely nowhere, a fun. song began playing on my computer. Trust … Continue reading Starting this off with a deep breath
On identity
I was watching a vlog on Youtube earlier about how most people tend to identify themselves by their nationalities first, rather than any personal aspects they may have. This is all well and good - I myself am a patriot and often call myself a Pakistani-Muslim before anything else - but when that's established, what … Continue reading On identity
