Single yet Contented

-

*This is an entry for the February Blog of the Month Competition.*
First thing first, to be honest, “Being Single” is not an option- quite specifically For FJites, in an all-female institute, it’s our fate! (No offence intended)
Being single is a medal for a Pakistani youngster until approximately the age of 25, and then, it becomes a curse and a nightmare, as in the sense,
"Na chaand rahay ga, na sitaray rahain gey
Kya hum saari zindagi kunwaray rahain ge?"
 ~Truck poetry; Unknown 
Anyways, single life does have its benefits; you save money to spend on literally everything, buy chocolates only for yourself, feel independent and self-owned to quite an extent (unless you’ve got over-protective guardians) and most importantly, you don’t need to be a superficial and a duplicitous cartoon among your different social groups...
These are some of the best reasons I satisfy myself with when I get hit by a forever-single life complex or when I imagine myself being a spinster putting in my dentures (quite a pessimistic picture, right?). But, besides our religious and social norms that constantly try to keep us in a halal social circle, I personally think it is the best option one gets if one doesn’t want to complicate the self-ownership of oneself.
As for the cons of being single, there are always the insecurities and the nervousness around opposite gender, one of the most fascinatingly underestimated states one can ever imagine of.
So the most plausible things for us include:
 1. Rock it the way it is!
2- Make it work- the other way around by finding The One! (though it requires a hell of a rational and aimed mindset for a healthy relationship...)
So, fellas! Let your sassy and narcissistic soul rise and Shine!
 “Wanted by many, taken by none, looking at some, waiting for the one.”

    The way you've used puns around are quite interesting but the fact that being an FJITE keeps us single isn't much satisfying... I mean i have a whole circle around me whose mingle and are in quite a long distance as well as immediate relationships ... It depends solely on your need and thinking weather you wanna be single or get mingled

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
