Uniforms

By
We all have different personalities, different thoughts, and opinions. Everyone is unique in their own individual way. Our personality shows in the way we dress. It shows who we are, and gives an insight into our personality.

But there are times in life when we have to wear uniforms. They are basically the same kind of dressing worn by many people. They symbolize uniformity and equality among people, which is, in some ways, a positive idea. However, it condemns individuality and originality of every person, by implying that they all wear the same thing, regardless of their taste and choice.

Children start wearing uniforms once they start school. School uniforms are usually simple clothes in dull and boring colours like greys and browns. In younger classes for boys there are shorts and a button down shirt. For girls, there is usually skirt blouse. Uniforms change in older classes, for example, there are pants for boys and shalwar kameez for girls (in Pakistan) from upper Primary Classes.

Children have to wear uniforms throughout their school life. Apart from the uniform, nothing of the child’s choice is allowed to worn at school. No accessories are allowed like watches, bracelets, earrings, or even fancy hair-clips or pony-bands.

After their school life, many children have to wear uniforms in their college life as well. Not all, but many colleges have strict uniform and dress codes too. They have uniforms similar to school uniforms, but they make a person look more mature and older.

Everyone has to wear uniforms in their student life; however, some people have to wear uniforms in their professional lives as well. Think of sales-girls and sales-men, waiters, cooks, security guards, police officers, the list could go on. And then, what about formal business suits – aren’t they also a kind of uniform? Dress pants, a neat, pressed shirt, tie, coat, and polished shoes. These clothes of high position managers also seem like uniforms.


Uniforms suppress a person’s freedom of style and choice, to let you dress the way you want. They imply uniformity: that everyone is the same, however different we may be from inside.

    This is so so so true! I absolutely despise uniforms; they make everyone look the same. You're right! All of us have a different taste of what we like to wear and different signature outfits that fit our personalities... uniforms totally ruin that. :/ Are you not allowed to have your hair the way you want in Pakistan though? Here in England, you're not allowed to have your hair down at school if it's long. XD Also

      ... I agree about what you said in the last paragraph - uniforms seem to revolve around a lot of occupations. D: This is a fantastic essay! You've written it brilliantly! :D (whoops, accidentally posted the previous comment XD) (unfortunately the tablet I'm on now needs to go on the charger and my main tablet has blocked every blog on Blogger ;-; I'll try and come on tomorrow though! :))

      Yes, that's right! It's about the same in Pakistan. Long hair has to be tied back or braided.
      Thanks a lot! That's okay... these devices can be pretty annoying at times, especially when they get stuck\hang or respond too slowly. :| Sure! :)

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,
