Ramadan, Reflection, and the Art of Slowing Down
Pakistani Cricket, Filmmaking and Digital Detox
March has arrived, and with it comes Ramadan, a time of reflection, discipline, and gratitude. While the world races forward, this month offers us the rare chance to slow down, to be more mindful of our thoughts, and to appreciate the small joys we often overlook. The weather is pleasant, the sehri and iftar feasts are warming up, and the streets are quieter as people shift into a different rhythm of life. It’s a time when even the busiest of us find space for introspection. Whether that means spiritual growth, self-improvement, or just spending quality time with family, Ramadan brings a welcome change in our daily lives. Ramadan Mubarak to all my dear readers. :)
Pakistan’s Champions Trophy Exit: Enough is Enough!
Pakistan’s humiliating exit from the Champions Trophy—on our own home soil—should be the final nail in the coffin of this outdated, spineless team! Losing to New Zealand was bad enough, but getting outclassed by India without even putting up a fight? Unacceptable! Where was the intent? Where was the hunger? Where was the Pakistan cricket we once knew?
Shoaib Akhtar is right—this was a shameful performance, lacking any fire or purpose. Wasim Akram, Danish Kaneria, and countless other legends have pointed out the obvious: our cricket is being run on personal friendships, not merit. Babar Azam, as talented as he is, has proven time and again that he is not a leader. It’s time for him and the other underperforming seniors to step down with dignity. If their performances warrant a comeback, they can earn their place back—but right now, they don’t deserve a spot.
And let’s talk about the PCB —how long will we let politics and favoritism destroy our cricket? Pakistan needs a system based on merit, real leadership, and proper fitness standards. Otherwise, our cricket will continue to sink while the rest of the world moves ahead.
Why You Need a Squatty Potty for Better Health
When you sit on the toilet, your body is in a position where your poop pipe (colon) is slightly bent. This makes it harderfor poop to come out, just like a kinked garden hose makes it harder for water to flow. That’s why sometimes you have to push really hard, which can be uncomfortable and even cause problems like constipation or bloating. The Squatty Potty lifts your feet into a natural squatting position, straightening the colon for smoother, easier bowel movements, reducing straining, constipation, and bloating, which is why doctors recommend it for a healthier and more comfortable bathroom experience.

Filmmaking and the Power of Storytelling
On a personal note, I’ve completed my filmmaking diploma—a journey that has given me a fresh perspective on storytelling, composition, and visual creativity.
Filmmaking, much like dentistry, is about precision. Every frame, every cut, every movement of the camera serves a purpose. It’s fascinating how much our brains absorb from visual cues without us even realizing it. As I step into this new creative chapter, I’m excited to blend storytelling with my professional experiences. Who knows? Maybe a short film is on the horizon.
A Challenge for This Month: Digital Detox
Since Ramadan encourages mindfulness, why not take it a step further? Here’s a challenge for the month—a digital detox:
✅ Spend one hour a day completely unplugged—no social media, no notifications.
✅ Replace screen time with reading, reflection, or real conversations.
✅ Notice how your mind resets when it's not constantly absorbing online noise.
When we pause, we think more clearly, feel more deeply, and live more intentionally. Whether it’s enjoying a quiet cup of tea, taking a slow walk, or simply sitting in silence, these small acts of mindfulness can bring clarity, balance, and a renewed sense of purpose to our daily lives.

Final Thought: A Smile Worth Sharing
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from filmmaking, it’s this: life is a story, and you are the director of yours. This Ramadan, take control of your script—whether it’s a new habit, a personal goal, or a reconnection with something meaningful. With or without cricket victories, with or without digital distractions, the one thing that remains timeless is a smile. This Ramadan, let’s make it a point to spread kindness, appreciate what we have, and share a moment of joy with those around us.
Until next time, keep smiling!
