Compulsions
Millions of Pakistanis live in the United States, having migrated from Pakistan in search of a better life. By “better life,” most people usually mean financial comfort, and in that sense many do succeed. They earn money and achieve stability. However, along with these gains come countless struggles, emotional hardships, and painful sacrifices that often remain unseen.

Marriage is Going Extinct
Marriage once stood as a nearly universal life milestone — the expected transition from youth to adulthood, family, and social stability. But today, millions of young adults are rethinking if marriage even belongs in their future. While it’s dramatic to call marriage *extinct*, the trend lines suggest we are living through a historic transformation in how this generation views traditional commitment — one with cultural, economic, and demographic implications.

The Last Letter at Kew Gardens
The air in Richmond was crisp, carrying the faint, earthy scent of damp soil and the promise of early crocuses. Arthur adjusted his woollen scarf—a deep navy blue that matched his eyes—and checked his pocket watch. It was half-past ten. In London, Valentine’s Day usually arrived with a frantic rush of overpriced roses and desperate dinner reservations, but here, within the iron gates of Kew Gardens, time seemed to decelerate.

Wrong Marriage
Marriage is often presented as the ultimate milestone of success, stability, and social approval. In many cultures, including ours, it is seen not just as a personal decision but as a family and societal obligation. However, when a marriage is wrong—emotionally, mentally, or practically—it becomes one of life’s most painful teachers. A wrong marriage does not only affect two individuals; it reshapes families, scars children, and leaves deep psychological lessons that last a lifetime. While painful, such experiences also offer real lessons that can transform a person’s understanding of relationships, self-worth, and life itself.

Every engagement story begins with a spark, but for me, it began with a realization: not all diamonds are created equal. When I started my search for the perfect ring, I was blinded by the "Four Cs." I thought that as long as the certificate looked good, the ring would be perfect. I was wrong.

At Seven Years Old, I Thought Love Was a Promise
At seven years old, I thought love was a promise. I believed it was something you said once and meant forever, like crossing your heart or sealing a letter you never planned to open again. I didn’t understand conditions or endings. I didn’t know people could change their minds. I only knew that when someone said they cared, it felt solid, like something you could stand on without falling through.
