By Dr Salim Ibrahim: I believe getting clear on the issue of religion and all that is associated with it, is imperative, not only due to the difference which religion makes to the lives of people and our understanding of the universe, no matter how unscientific its explanations are, but for purposes of conceptual clarity….
By Biryar Bahhaalddin: Have you ever thought what you will do if one day you are driven out of your own town just because you belong to a particular nationality?

By Ausama Anwar: I’ve never been hooked on Bollywood productions. Actually, only a few Hindi movies have attracted me. Lately, I came across a headline describing one of them as the finest production to emerge from decades of Bollywood films.

By Hanar Marouf: In a shady, cold, unfilled room, hearing only the sound of my childhood clock’s ticking, I started thinking about putting myself in other people’s shoes.

By Ausama Anwar: It’s not easy to choose between what’s true and what’s not these days, since truth takes the form of a mirror shattered into a million pieces: in each, only a little part of truth. Today, we’re not living in a world where we can do well and protect goodness in the way…
By Ausama Anwar: “Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” said Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century.

By Dr. Hawar Moradi: Little by little the darkness swallows the light of the day. Motionlessly the day goes towards a certain death and every life during the day, as by law, transform into another way of being.

By Ausama Anwar: A few weeks ago, I was drawn to two newspaper headlines, from ‘The Independent’ and the ‘Guardian’. The Independent announced: “Nasa-funded study warns of ‘collapse of civilisation’. It was pointing to research conducted by a mathematician called Safa Motesharri with his team of natural and social scientists. This research was funded by Nasa’s…
By Yasin Aziz: It is so fascinating, what lies behind the way we see or prefer to see, observe our surrounding, and what dictates the boundaries of how far we can see. Even the first steps we tend to take and then proceed. It is obvious there are risks when we step out towards achieving…
By Ausama Anwar: An ideology is a system of ideas based on a way of thinking. Some aspects came from a situation or from an era when it was ‘needed’ or a big deal at the time. Some ideologies persist beyond their eras until now, with some changes in their principles and ways. Many political…
By Yasin Aziz: When we leave our homes and use our visual sense, we use our ability to see to avoid tripping over or bumping into objects; but often our visual mind is somewhere else, maybe preoccupied with anxiety about how to overcome a challenge or accomplish a plan. We might be going to work…
By Ausama Anwar: The title seems to be very grand, mixing such important topics in one article. So I start by explaining the title and the concept of this article. Reality: It’s what we live in, it’s what we can’t escape, Even if we try, by getting into dreams and Imagination, we are still in…
By Yasin Aziz: We often live, consciously or not, with the past. The past has a hand in our future. It is impossible to turn the page without the impact of the past: turning a page is always affected by the impact the past had on us, or may have in future. The past impacts…
