... the light has come  for certain

Torch of knowledge is lit for certain

Someone is approaching heremy heart is resonating 

Do me a favor today

Show kindness to me 

Hurting others is a common trend

Arguments  specially  norm practice

One who succeeds  in this world

Surrounded he is with envy

Someone was there in the middle

Conversing was all remotely done

One ete  feels overwhelmed  

The other is flooded with emotions

Almighty is remembered since

Youth has wilted  and  life on threshold

My  beloved met me as if

We were long lost  life  enemies

Likeable area

....it was the month of december , in the begining the winter chill was slow and quiet not noticeable at all , the intensity was missing  but as the month  unrolled so did the winter, the sun hardly showed up,  always  the dark grey sky  looked gloomy

For the past four days waiting for the sun to appear sabiha did not   plug in her washinb machine  but today seeing there was no change in the outside grey sky she   rebeled and defied the rude weather and decided to use her washing machine, doing the regular household laundry felt a  harsh punishment in this bad weather, she looked at the mountain of dirty laundry  as if it was  a prifessional  task
