My lack of enthusiasm towards makeup has my mom (and everyone I know) worried about “what kind of a girl” I’m turning out to be.
I’ve always been very anti-make up, and on the occasional times that I have worn make-up I have felt really uncomfortable. In fact, it makes me feel worse when people compliment me because then, all I can think of is, “I don’t really look like this” and “do I have to wear make-up for people to consider me pretty?”, and most importantly, “do I really look that bad without anything on my face?” I don’t like...

A
stick of white tape, serving as a spine label, spans the length of one side of
my favorite VHS tape. Judging by the label, my father has limited knowledge of
the film, but excellent penmanship. He has, for the past week, been obsessively labelling every single cassette that we own, organizing them in alphabetical
order, I think; My six-year-old brain tends to be quite unreliable.
I
had watched the movie more times than...
I think that different people have different ways of connecting to certain things. Some might feel that a book or maybe a song helps them express how they feel, and sometimes, you need that slight link between reality and fiction to make you understand that there are so many other ways to go about with your life than just simply focusing on the negativity. Finding that small connection helps you realize that even though you might be going through...

Who wouldn't want to look at BOTH George Clooney and Ryan Gosling's faces in one morphed picture? No one, that's who.
2.
First thought that comes to mind: trippy. For sure.

With an amazing poster like this, I don't think any fans will be letting it go any time soon.

Every second counts: except the one where he drinks bodily fluids. I kinda wish that second didn't have to count.

This
post goes out to all those Bollywood fans out there, and to those of us that
love the occasional catchy tune that may not always make complete sense. These
are the top 5 songs that have been burning the charts
recently:
1. Lovely- Happy New Year
This song will get you moving as soon as you play it. Let’s not forget that
Deepika Padukone looks breathtaking throughout. If that doesn't help, it’s sung

Deep down the dark streets of Seoul in big entertainment companies, lived the uncountable number of Korean bands. Every now and then they would come out with addictive, upbeat songs, dressed in the trendiest of outfits, dancing perfectly in oddly lit boxes. Grabbing a few awards once in a while, this bunch of hard-working teenagers worked even harder to come back with crisp and flawless dance moves and songs to make all the fangirls swoon.
WHO ARE THEY? HOW ARE THEY SO PERFECT? WHAT DO THEY WANT?
Before these questions could...
Going through my old MySpace list, I realized how different
my taste in music has become through the years. I started off with Miley Cyrus
and The Jonas Brothers, and now listen to a whole new brand of music known as
“indie”. It seems to be the choice of a
new generation- A generation which I come from. I slowly found myself moving
away from the sugar pop music and more towards the “alternative/alt-rock”
bands, which were still pretty mainstream but had a sort of electric weirdness
to them covered in noisy out-of-tune synthesizers. Coldplay,...
Like any other country, Pakistan too, has produced
several geniuses in various fields- most importantly, the music industry. It
is, however, quite ironic and sad at the same time, that the same industry
which produced legends like Nusrat Fateh Ali khan and Noor Jehan, now bemoans
the dearth of talented, if not legendary, individuals who can at least breathe
new life into its on-the-verge-of-dying soul.
This article is to throw light on some...

Despite all
that we have gone through, we karachiites haven't let it affect us. True, we've
become indifferent. At the same time, however, we've shown the world: you can't
shut us down. We all know how unsafe our city is; we all know we are likely to
die any second due to a bomb attack; but guess what? We've still come out
strong. Even today, the people of Karachi
spend nights on the streets, living their lives to the fullest. While some
youngsters...

I am the kind of person who enjoys walking aimlessly on the
streets. Too bad I don’t do that very often in Karachi because the life of an
A-Level student demands a bit too much in very limited time, but whenever I
visit another city, the best way I choose to explore it is by walking on its
streets. Be it a small village in Kenya, the downtown of Kuala Lumpur, the
alleys of Bur-Dubai or the Holy city of Makkah, I’ve done it everywhere.
Walking...
