As a teacher, columnist, and concerned citizen, I urge parents, educators, and policymakers to come together in this battle to protect our children’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We must limit screen time, encourage real-world interactions, and raise a generation that values knowledge, creativity, and meaningful human connections over mindless digital consumption. Let’s break free from mobile addiction and build a healthier, brighter tomorrow. By Shafqat Kakroo: In...

Danish Alam Pathan:
( Syria )
“The experiences of Libya, Egypt, Yemen, and Syria reveal the harsh truth that regime change alone does not guarantee peace, stability, or democracy. Without addressing the root causes of discontent and ensuring inclusive governance, revolutions risk becoming mere power shifts. As George Bernard Shaw aptly remarked, ‘Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny; they have only shifted it to another shoulder.’ The burden, unfortunately, continues to weigh heavily on the people of these...

( Jammu and Kashmir )
I don’t understand why the people of Kashmir, despite being the smartest, act like a herd of sheep.

Everybody starts jumping into the same field, even without any need or knowledge.

( Pakistan )
There is a place in Pakistan, perched on the edge of the map and the edge of humanity’s conscience, called Parachinar. Here, in the mountains of Kurram, 42 Shia Muslims were ambushed and slaughtered last week as they travelled under the illusion of state protection. Among the dead were seven women and a nine-year-old girl. Their crime? Belonging to a minority in a country that treats them as disposable.

When we act upon these principles, we will not only achieve personal peace but also allow those around us to feel that peace and happiness, which will be our...
