Don’t judge a book by its cover

-

By Amna,

Haven't we judged someone based on appearance, dress, talk, or behavior? Been there, done that. We are all to blame for this, but we only realize the problem when we are on the other end of the tunnel when we are the ones being judged instead of the ones believing. 

We often hurry to make assumptions about others and form our versions of them in our minds without entirely knowing the person or what they are going through. I have been on both ends, but I am slowly trying to bring this change about for myself. I am changing my perspective. I take a minute to analyze the situation before I conclude.


So next time you meet a friend or a relative, don't be harsh if they seem lost or rude. In most cases, it's just not their day. Kindness can do wonders. Being kind does not imply putting yourself ahead of others. It means to be genuinely thoughtful or generous to one another. And I can assure you that, like most things, kindness begins at home. First, be kind to yourself, and then your small acts of kindness for others can cause a ripple effect. A stranger's single smile could be the highlight of their day. 

The world is going through so much. Humanity has been lost deep underground in some places. Our part of the change could be a simple step.

Joint Families In Pakistan

-

By Aaisha Joint families undoubtedly have a significant impact on our children's lives. Grandparents are an enormous resource for homeschooling, but a housewife has to sacrifice a lot for her children. Furthermore, it is impossible to say that mixed families are without problems when a conservative family is involved. Maintaining family traditions is admirable, but they sometimes work in our lives.  The purpose of bringing up this topic is not to hurt anyone; instead, it is to illustrate the feelings of a woman or housewife. It's not just valid for modern women, I'm sure; it was also true for our moms, grandmothers, and mothers-in-law, who felt the same things but couldn't express them at the time. People tended to focus more on the disadvantages in a study on joint families in Pakistan, although I don't concur with them. However, several advantages also deserve to have a place. So let's talk about the benefits and drawbacks I have learned from my experience and...

Maid didn't come😢

By Aaisha We can't live without our maids, and this is a sentiment shared by all women, especially in Pakistan. They are the most important people in our lives. So consequently, we become enraged when she  unexpectedly  cancels her shift, acting as though we had just purchased her and made her our concubine. The same thing occurred to me; my maid didn't show up, and I had to complete all the work alone. I also left some tasks for her to finish when she gets here tomorrow. I was furious with her, but as my rage subsided, I realized that she also had a family, children to care for, a spouse, can have urgency, and, most importantly, she is a human , but we women don't think about them. Instead, we yell at them for not showing up for work and not listening to their problems. I did the same thing, but once my kids fell ill, I realized that her kids had the same illness, and if I couldn't leave my kids in that condition, how could she? I came across a blog on how Pakistani wo...

About Aaisha

By Aaisha Assalamu Alaikum, My name is Aaisha,  and I'm a mother of four—two girls and two boys—and a housewife. There isn't anything special about me because I'm a standard housewife. However, I want to step outside my comfort zone and try something new.  My only goal is to have fun and spice up a little. I started looking for activities a housewife could do while sitting in her room because I felt a little depressed about my regular daily routine.   As my brain gradually began to function, I decided to start writing. I looked into the subject but discovered that everyone was talking about everything except us - the housewives. Since I live in Pakistan with a very conservative family, people assume housework is easy, and housewives lead comfortable lives. Still, they don't realize that it is just as exhausting to be a housewife as it is to be a working woman.  A working woman gets a day off, or a holiday, while a housewife works every holiday, every leave, and even ...
