Life Through My Eyes
Way back in my freshmen year of college, I had to write a ten page paper against the death penalty. If I had to do it now, ten pages would have seemed nowhere near enough. I could go on and on. Fittingly, I chose to title it: “The Most Premeditated of Murders”. Evidence aside, in …
Domestic violence transcends all racial boundaries. It’s proven time and again. I haven’t been able to get the unfortunate news out of my mind all week. A fellow Pakistani female murdered. At the hands of her husband. Right here in New Jersey! Not just because I, too, was born in Pakistan. Or that I am a female. …
If you are actively using Facebook, by now you have certainly seen some (if not many) of your friends change their default pictures to an image of a cartoon. If it wasn’t explained why, and you were curious – I’m sure you inquired and found out. But a lot of people still don’t understand why …
All of the 33 miners were rescued and brought to safety! What an amazing story! With so many odds against them, and so many potential risks along the way – it is an absolute miracle. An absolute fairy tale ending for what could have been a horrendous tragedy. What started off as 17 days without …

As a society, when are we going to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH against bullying? I would hope that if Rutgers ever received so much attention, it would be for a positive thing. As a very recent alumni of Rutgers it was quite dissappointing that they, instead, made headlines locally and nationally because one of the freshmen committed …
As I was leaving from the last day of class of “Current, Moral, and Social Issues” earlier today, (which is a class I was quite interested in taking but turned out to be quite disappointing), the professor said something profound. He ended the class talking about how important the issues we discussed in this class …
When you think about it, it wasn’t too long ago when women couldn’t vote. it wasn’t too long ago when women didn’t have the opportunity to be educated. it wasn’t too long ago when women couldn’t work (and when they did, it was under horrible conditions). it wasn’t long ago when there were unfair hiring …
I’m sure, by now, everyone has heard of the devastating 7.0 earthquake in Haiti earlier this week on Tuesday that has caused so much destruction, left so many people homeless and without food, injured countless people, and killed over 45 thousand people (and counting; the number is expected to sky rocket tremendously). Not to mention the amount …
