Waldeinsamkeit - "the feeling of being alone in the woods."

Image
Waldeinsamkeit is an astonishing German word with a beautiful meaning. It roughly translates to "the feeling of being alone in the woods." The structure of the word says it all: "wald" means woods/forest, and "einsamkeit" means loneliness or solitude. It is basically a therapy and mediation that helps to find isolation in the woods. Germans have one deep and intimate connection with nature. And that is expected because Germany's landscape is mainly covered with greenery as 33% of its land area is forest. Since my childhood, I have always been obsessed with trees. I used to sketch trees because I always felt this close connection with trees, and I felt like a tree compliments the emotion of solitude and the internal power to remain positive whether it's autumn, spring, summer, or winter. It remains strong from its roots when all the leaves shed off from its branches in the autumn, it becomes chirpy and happy as it fills with colors and spread positi

Every time we fall, Who picks us up?

Sometimes there are some points in your life when you actually shatter into pieces, your hurt wrenches, you feel heaviness in your chest, and you feel helpless. People can't give you that peace of mind because you are on that stage of life where help doesn't feel like help.  But in the end, suddenly you can  see  the  light  at the end of the  tunnel. Knock Knock,  Who is that?  ALLAH.   As in Quran, Allah says , "He  brings them out of the darkness into the light."  [ Holy Qur'an 2:257 ]  Allah  is the Protecting  Guardian of those who believes .  He  leads them out of the darkness into the light. He can bring back happiness, calmness, and light into your heart. Every time we fall, who picks us up? Allah Every time our hearts ache, who bring calmness into our heart? Allah.  “Allah comes in between a person and his heart.” [ Quran 8:24 ]   When you lose your path, you get an opportunity to discover a world you have never known. Who gives us this opportunity? Alla

A girl is sitting near a window, staring at the sky and wondering about her dreams. Her name is Sarah.  Lost in her thoughts, she thinks, "I want to do something in my life; something that would change my life, that would be about fulfilling my dreams with commitment and hard work." Soon, she got interrupted by her little sister, who asked her what was she thinking. Sara said humorlessly, "I am thinking about the dreams which I plan to conquer." Then, her sister asked, "What are those dreams, sister?". She replied, "I want to do something with my life, you know like I want to travel the whole world on my own. I want to set my goals and be a career-oriented girl who will never have to be dependent on a man. I want to show our people that women can achieve anything in this world, she doesn't have to rely on her family necessarily, she can embark on her journey by taking the first step herself, she has the right to take decisions of her life,

Life After Graduation

Image
When I graduated from Comsats, I thought, life is like a fairytale. Oh yes, I finally graduated, now no studies and nothing! High expectations for a great job! YAY! But BOOOOM! Trust me everything was upside down.  When you spend 4-years in the university, you take everything for granted. When you graduate from a school or college, it would be like leaving memories and making new friends in the next step of life, that is a university. But when you leave university, it will be a lot different than leaving a school or a college because this is a point where you enter in real combat towards your career. After graduation, I got a job, but it wasn't satisfied with it. But what one can do? Right? At least it's better to do something than nothing or staying at home. But you know what? I realized one thing in that time, having a 3.5 CGPA or A+ grade is nothing if you have no experience. I have seen people doing jobs in great companies with 2.4 CGPA than people ha

My Story!!

I remember how excited I was when I embarked upon the journey to Hannover. A finality of my dream come true, after a lot of struggle and wait. . However, when I reached Hannover, not everything appeared as easy-going as one would expect. Everything was topsy-turvy, everything seemed different and new, the language, the culture and not to mention, the FOOD!. . I remember how I had entered my dormitory, excited yes , but with a strange feeling, as I had stocked my luggage aside and sat on the bed. Looking around the room, the window on the wall showing the outside yet to get used to my sight, and a feeling of panic had overcome me. I was scared at the enormity of what is yet to come and what I have done. Many things started coming out of the haze, the responsibilities I would have to shoulder. I would have to do everything myself, cooking, washing, studying, bringing food and utilities from market, you name it… Six months had gone like this, with me trying to settle down, learn

Miss Home Sweet Home

I had a beautiful dream last night. I was at my home sweet home. I was sitting with my parents. We all were laughing, making jokes and teasing my siblings . Then suddenly my eyes opened and i  heard my mother saying, “Gul beta neechy ajao, nashta yha sa horaha he!” But when I woke up, no one was there. I am still thinking about my dream from the morning while doing  laundry and making breakfast. Sometimes I think about it alot “Jab maa baap paas hotay he tu itni qadar nahein hoti, jitni dur reh k hoti he” I remember when I went home last year after one year. My mother couldn’t recognize me like “Arey Gul bartan dhu rahi he” “Gul kam karrahi he” “ Gul subah subah oth gaey he” hahaha! Its just I miss home. 🏡 ❤️ But the good thing is  I finally did my laundry. Take care of your parents. No matter what. Take out special time for them. ❤️
