Single and Unready to Mingle

-
*This is an entry for the February Blog of the Month competition*
Waking up effortlessly by noon on weekends, as free as a butterfly out of a cocoon, having meals prepared, clothes washed and dry-cleaned for you without even asking and doing the most random things at the oddest timings is dreamy, isn't it?
Well, say hello to the perks of leading a single's life. A life in which only me, myself and I matter and no jittering over what to buy your bae at valentines day or sulking over how exhausting it is to run after kids just to change their diapers! Phew!
A pressureless life where you can binge watch peaky blinders 24 hours in a row and sleep for 48 hours straight without having to worry about unanswered messages and voice calls and about making your Saas angry because of your excessively sloth-like routines!
Eating like there's no tomorrow because hey, who would steal your bae because you were just a wad bit of fat? No insecurities, jealousies possessing over anyone just swimming in sparkly waters in summers is what we live for!
No fear of being left alone, no frustration of being ignored- just bossing around the younger siblings and feeling like a queen, even though the achievement chart is rotting, is what a single's life is all about!
It's an amalgam of freedom, silliness, being nonchalant, and having sky-high self-esteem despite being single!
Yes, I love this life and would relive it again and again had I been a cat with 9 lives!

USMLE stands for United States Medical Licensing Examination. In order to practice in the U.S., all medical students whether IMGs (international medical graduates) or AMGs (American Medical Graduates) have to give this series of exams. Only then does an international medical graduate become ECFMG certified and legally allowed to practice in the United States. ( ECFMG stands for educational commission for foreign medical students. ECFMG acts as the registration and score-reporting agency for the USMLE for foreign medical students/graduates, or in short, it acts as the designated Dean's office for International Medical Graduates in contrast to the American Medical Graduates). It conducts three examinations: Step 1, Step 2CK, Step 2CS. The ECFMG certificate is issued to a physician if he or she passes the above the three exams within a time period of seven years.) The Following elements are essential in order to secure a residency in the US: Scores Step 1

Reflection of my moon

Last night, your faded memory came to me, As in the wilderness, spring comes quietly, As slowly in desert, moves the breeze, As to a sick man, without cause, comes peace! The moon of my night, an oasis for my deserted soul and a heavenly shelter from cold buffets of life, was my mother. It was a scenic day glittering with the serene sunshine in the blue sky. That day, she had completely recovered from the demon of hepatitis. The vivacity of life was sparkling in her eyes. The omen of life had totally exalted her to a novel perseverance. She had grabbed the silky life with her caressing hands. The life to her meant her children. The moon of Ramadan was surely an omen of joy for us. We had scheduled our sister's wedding. In that reference, my father and mother were to leave for another city. I bade them farewell under God's heaven and saw them off. "Life is going to be beautiful," I smiled to myself and went to the bed. Suddenly at midnight, violent knocking at

آ دکھاؤں تجھے چیخوں کا خاموشی سے نکلنا، پھر مر جانا۔۔                                                                           زندگی میں جہاں خوشیوں پر رقص ہوتا ہے، وہیں غم و ماتم کا عکس بھی ہوتا ہے، آسانیاں آتیں ہیں مگر مشکلات کے ساتھ۔۔ بعض دفعہ مشکل  نہیں لگتا خود کو درد سے نکال لینا، اذیتوں کے سمندر کی گہرائی میں ڈوب کر کنارے تک ابھرنا اور یہ ثابت کر دینا کہ اگر درد میں دم ہے تو ہم بھی کم نہیں۔۔ مگر ہاں ہر بار، ہر جگہ، ہر کسی کے ساتھ ایسا نہیں ہوتا، جب درد انسان کو کرچی کرچی کردینا چاہے اور سمیٹنے کو شیشہ گر بھی نہ ہو کہ کرچیاں ہی سمیٹ لے، جب ماضی، کسی کے حال اور مستقبل کو اس طرح گھیر لے کہ جینا اور مرنا ایک سا ہو جائے، جب وقت کے جزیرے پر کھڑی، سفید خوبصورت گھوڑے پر آنے والے شہزادے کی منتظر شہزادیاں  مایوسی کی دلدل میں دم توڑنے لگیں، تب درد ، درد نہیں رہتا، "چیخ" بن کر  نکلتا ہے،  گونجتا ہے ، دھاڑتا ہے، سننے والوں کے دلوں کو لرزاتا ہے، دلوں کو موم کرتا ہے  اور پھر کہیں فضاؤں میں تحلیل ہوجاتا ہے۔۔ ایسا درد تو  کسی "بلند چیخ " کا لبادہ اوڑھے راستوں کو ف
