The recent Peshawar bomb blast: Islamabad

Welcome to 2021 everyone!

Assalamoalaykum and I hope your first 2 days of January went well.

2020 was a very different year with its own perks, although I don't believe it was all bad. 2020 in my opinion, opened many doors for us that we couldn't have even noticed if it weren't for these hardships we had gone through.

However, let us all pray to Allah for a better year, a year that brings us joy, a year that heals all the wounds we developed during the past years, and most of all a year that opens new doors for us that leads us to our goals.

As someone said:

"Memories are the timeless treasures of the heart"

It will always be necessary to move on in life, to not cling to the past though it is my belief that a man is nothing without his past.

Always cherish your memories good and bad, for they are what built you.

Always strive for the better future and make a change in your present, the past is all the steps that you put to ascend.

May Allah bless us all and cure all the diseases, heal all mentally and physically and shower his men with happiness.

(Ameen)

Schooling and it’s effects on children:

The first article I wrote on avalanches was about how I wasn’t satisfied with the school systems that are in care of youth today.

Todays article is somewhat related to that, where i’m going to share some of my experiences and sharing a general picture of how today’s system effects students in a good as well as bad way.

As I have written before schools today do not welcome new ideas, frankly speaking they can’t except the new generation, or well that’s what I think. I mean, it’s 2020 and we’re still studying Microsoft 2007. When we get to our engineering classes no one is going to even ask how to open word document on the 2007 interface.

First of all, schools should get the new edition of all books every year because holding children back from what’s going on in the present is useless maybe it saves them the trouble of searching new answers...

Second, sometimes the student is right. Many teachers do acknowledge that and they are overall very good to students but there is a small community of teachers that believe that they are the only sophisticated people in the room, it isn’t a big issue but it’s irritating that even if you were wrong isn’t it a students job to question the reason to the solution?

Ive met many teachers who are verbally abusive towards her students and I don’t blame their anger most of the time because students can also get extremely irritating at times but to an extent, I think many people in anger forget that those around them aren’t punching bags or stress relief balls you can squeeze the hell out of.

Many teachers, who aren’t frustrated just naturally like to criticise others around them and it hurts, it hurts very bad no matter how mentally strong you find yourself to be.

I know because it’s happened to me, where I got rejected as an eleven year old with a tall height in a singing competition because my voice wasn’t ‘mature’ enough.

And believe me I haven’t sung infront of anyone since.

My point is, degrading someone using verbal attacks is the most successful assault you could use to ultimately destroy someone from the inside, while many people can fix themselves or receive help many out there are only killing themselves inside.

However, everyone has their flaws. Nothing in life can be perfect, but that doesn’t mean that we ignore problems with a huge impact, like ruining a students motivation, his mentality his holes his dreams everything while trying to force him into sharing an idea that you think is correct and may or may not be wrong or Illogical.

Limiting ones brain to only go by the book to get an A+ on a test that no ones going to use in his practical life and ignoring the essential information about the real outside world.

Even so, there are many teachers out there who wish they could do this but can’t because it’s against orders, not all teachers are bad, the people that taught me in my previous classes, the ones who believed in me who put their all in me, I think everything that I do today is because they taught me to forge my own path when I don’t like the one forged for me.

I think that every one every where needs to change some things that effect those around them.

Sons and daughters:

Why is it that ‘beta’ is used for sons, and ‘beti’ as well as ‘beta’ can be used for a daughter?

That is because a female can easily adapt to different circumstances in her life, when she needs to she can be the male figure her family needs and when needed she can be the necessary female figure needed to keep her family stable, however a male no matter what he does can only remain the male figure and cannot become the female figure for his family,

Women are strong, we are strong. Being strong doesn’t mean that women have jobs and work outside no, being strong means we play an important role in the lives of those around us, we have good characters and being strong to me, also means that we realise our worth and without forcing make others around us know that too.

It is a mother’s arms that cradles the baby, a mother’s womb the child’s first home, no matter if he’s male or female, the first school for a child is his mother, point is we women set the base for our country’s youth, it isn’t men it’s women, without women, even men could not be born.

So don’t thing that your son is superior to your daughter, the prophet also says that a person is only superior to each other on the basis of his faith. It is a parent’s job to raise strong daughters and sons with strong characters who will sure to raise the name of the country.

When realization hits:

It's funny how we humans only realize the worth of something when it is taken away from us. How we only want the things that are not given to us. How we envy others because of their luxury.

Yesterday my mother, father and siblings left for Lahore and even if it were just for a day me and my brother missed them so much.

When they weren't gone I would complain to my mother that we would never have a decent conversation because she was always busy, I would complain that my father wouldn't take us anywhere and that my siblings were always crying and throwing tantrums.

Now that they are away I do realize that even seeing them in front of my eyes alive and well was too big of a blessing, eating the food that my mom cooked for me, hugging my dad when he returned from work, comforting my siblings when they were hurt.

It's strange that how in a span of 24 hours I've realized so many things in my life that if were taken away from me I would have remained traumatized for life.

Many times in cartoons, dramas they show the protagonist as an orphan who had been bullied and abused and yet still was happy and cheerful and many times us kids create our own character of this sort to fit in the show and wish to live a life as theirs but,

It's not that easy, manning up and facing the world, when many adults struggle with this so thinking logically how could we?

In the end my point is that these annoying siblings and controlling parents of ours are the truest and purest gift of life so no matter where you are and who you are just take a second and be grateful for this gift of life.

Assalam u alaikum everyone!

Today instead of writing about some small perks of society I'm here to ask you to answer some of my questions.

Have you ever felt that even after having all the blessings of the world... you're still empty?

Is it really important to express yourself among people?

Why do people think that if someone tries to rebel with society they're mad?

Why do most people think that of all people they are the ones on the right path?

Does someone really need a bad past to be depressed?

Why are psychopaths considered mad or abnormal just because they have different views of the world?

What can a person really achieve by memorizing a book to get good grades?

I wanted to write about one of these things but I couldn't find the answers to any of these and lately I've been thinking about a lot of things so please share your answers with me.

Thank you,

Success is a long ride like life with many ups and downs. The road to success isn't easy, it never had been.

It all starts slow and sometimes with failure, but it is useless to give up!

Everyone has to start from zero, there is a starting line to every race, the first page of every book and what I mean is that you won't get on top in the span of a few days.

Success is something you will have to struggle for and in other words is a life long struggle and a war you could say, with all the criticizers, all the thoughts and failures that hold you back.

And even though I haven't reached reached my goal yet, I'm very thankful to my subscribers for motivating me by liking and reading my posts!

And so together let's promise that we'll work hard to succeed in life!

thank you once again to all my subscribers and I love you all!!!

Do you toss and turn in bed every night? Do you watch the clock as your wake-up time mercilessly approaches and only manage to fall asleep at some point in the morning? Have you been counting sheep for hours and still can't sleep?

Everybody sometimes can't fall asleep. The problem is when this condition lasts a long time or recurs frequently.

Professionally, the condition where you cannot fall asleep is called insomnia. It is dangerous and it is not pleasant to play with it. Sleep is vital for a person. A person suffering from insomnia cannot fall asleep or wakes up frequently.

Common symptoms are:

- difficulty falling asleep at night.

- waking up early in the morning without the ability to go back to sleep.

- frequent nighttime awakenings

Prostate enlargement usually occurs in men with age. The enlargement can be benign or malignant.

If classified as benign, the enlarged prostate is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). As for whether it is malignant, it will lead to prostate cancer.

Although it does not endanger the life of the victim, the complaints that arise due to an enlarged prostate are very disturbing activities.

Some people who have an enlarged prostate will feel dissatisfied when urinating.

Symptoms can include a weak urinary stream, increased frequency of urination, frequent awakenings at night, and an inability to hold back the urge to urinate.

In severe cases, an enlarged prostate can cause urinary retention, which is a condition in which a person is unable to excrete urine that is in the bladder.

To overcome the prostate, whether to surgery? Actually, the action to treat this condition depends on the severity.

The main goal of treating an enlarged prostate is to improve the patient's quality of life. The therapy offered also varies, depending on the severity of the symptoms experienced.

To determine the severity, the doctor will perform a series of tests including:

- International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) test score.

- Lab tests, such as urinalysis, prostate- specific antigen (PSA), and kidney function.

- Urophlometry (evaluation of the urine stream), calculation of residual urine.

- Images of the prostate that can be an ultrasound exam.

EDK Media attends a film, music and dance workshop in Umlazi

Ezase Durban Media KZN better known as EDK Media is a Film and TV production company established back in 2011, based in the heart of Durban KwaZulu-Natal. It offers a variety of services including: TV Presenting Training, Photoshoots, TV Shows, Documentaries, Events management and many more.

On Friday the 15th of July 2022, EDK Media production team attended an art workshop in Umlazi, the south eastern part of KwaZulu-Natal which was held in Umlazi Cinema Hall.

The event was solely based on ways that the youth could utilize to venture into the corporate sector and the entertainment industry. The gap has been identified, that the youth is seeking employment rather than self employment. With the unemployment rate at its peak in South Africa, it is crystal clear that having a degree does not automatically translate to employment.

Dignitaries and speakers from different places graced the event with their presence, amongst which Mr Xolani Dlamini, the founder and event organizer of Urban Arts Entertainment attended. Menzi Theo (executive director of EDK Media), Bella Mnyandu and Smangele Sokhela commended the event organizers for pulling off such a great event in such a short space of time.

We still have a long way ahead to ensure that our government is democratically accountable for its people and for the young people to be granted equal opportunity. We're hopeful that events of this nature make a dent.
