Dot Painting

By
Here is a picture of a Dot Painting I made recently. I did it with a pointer, instead of the actual bamboo pen used for it, since it gets very messy. It turned out to be fine, though.

 It is made entirely of tiny dots. The darker areas are denser as they have more dots, and the lighter areas have fewer dots.

    OHMIGOSH THIS IS AWESOME! How long did it take you anyways?? xDD Anyhoo, do you want to make a collab blog?? I was just looking around the settings place to find this thing called as "Add people who can edit and post" or something. It allows me to add people who can edit and create blog posts. So, I thought, 'Why not make a collab blog or something like that?', and the first blog that came to me was yours! If yes, please tell me what the blog should be about. If no, well... It's okay with me xDD

      Thanks! It took me around two hours to finish.
      Yes, I know how a collab blog works, sure we can make one. Any ideas? How about a blog where all the kid writers we know online and irl publish their writings? There can be me, you, Zainab, Azka, Kenza, and any others if we know.

    OMG! This is SO SO awesome!! Gosh all those details... ahhh, how did you do it? :O The way you've contrasted the denser areas with the less dense areas is fantastic! I don't think I'd ever be able to do that. (I had to do this dot thing in physics for... wait it's not a CRO thingamabob... eh, whatever... I totally messed up when I had to represent the wave on the CRO with dots. And that wasn't much. XD You must be so talented at doing dot drawings! :D) Keep it up!

    Btw, I love the new format so much! It's beautiful! Your new icon is also great! :D

      OMG you really made my day! Is it that amazing?! I learned this technique in a workshop. We did this using bamboo pens and dipped them in ink to do it. It got really messy, and the younger kids could hardly manage it. I've done this one by myself though, and used a felt tipped pen. No, I'm not that talented as I know there are many others who can do better than me. But thanks! :)
      Yes, thanks! I thought it was time for a bit of change. :)

    Great Fatima! Your efforts and creativity made ordinary thing very valuable.
    I feel dot painting is a kind of sketching. In sketching we give details with dark and light strokes and here you make dots for this purpose.

Changes I would like to see in my country five years ahead

By
Hi readers! Here's another one of those essays that I mentioned I'd be sharing in here. This one was written on 12th April, 2016. The topic is mentioned below. Comments, feedback, and suggestions are very welcome! :) What changes would you like to see take place in your country in the next five years? Everything has some space for improvement, to strive to make it better, if not perfect. There are many changes that I would like to see take place in my homeland for it to improve. Firstly, I would like to see my country cleaner. The garbage disposal system of many places in Sindh, especially Karachi, which is the provincial capital, needs to be regenerated. The bio-degradable waste needs to be sorted and tackled accordingly, and the recyclable waste recycled. This change would not only be a relief to the common people, but also improve the country’s outlook. Secondly, I would like to see Pakistan greener than it already is. Although the province of Punjab, and Kash

Short Story~The Storm

By
Here is a story that I wrote recently on a topic of a past O level paper. Please keep in mind while reading it that this is the third draft  of the story. Feedback would be taken seriously and appreciated. An instantaneous splash of water landing on the deck woke up the sailor. He leapt out of bed and hurried up to the deck, hoping that all was well. The situation was worse than he had anticipated. It was raining cats and dogs, accompanied by a very strong gale. The roar of thunder indicated the beginning of a storm. The bottom of the ship was already flooded about six inches deep with water and its level was increasing with the rain. The sailor quickly rang the siren for help and grabbed some buckets. Sleepy-eyed men came out of their cabins to help and he directed them towards the flooded area, where he handed out buckets and yelled out instructions. His voice was barely audible over the heavy rain and thunder, but they seemed to understand. They went to work at once, fill

Poetry: To Dream

By
Hey there! I wrote a poem. This one took a lot more thought and effort than most of my poems - which are usually spontaneous, raw and emotional - that I don't post anywhere. I thought a lot about this idea and took almost a week to complete it. I also had to cut out several words, rearrange certain stanzas, and rewrite it a couple of times. I'm quite pleased with the result though - I think this is the best piece of poetry I've managed to write so far.  I would appreciate some feedback on it, if you have any, as I know this is far from perfect. Also, let me know if you have any suggestions for what kind of poetry I might write next. I could do with some new ideas. Here's the poem now: It is easy to dream When the eyes are closed -  When the mind is numb.  When there is no expectation Of life or living -  When there is no burden to carry.  But when the eyes are open -  And the mind can see What the universe has to offer. When the heart can feel,
