Justice or Joke? The Phoenix, the Dishonored and the Glass Of Water!

Pakistan is notorious for various things around the world; terrorism, extremism, intolerance and etc. However one other thing for which this South Asian nation is notorious for is its failed justice system, there is no doubt that Pakistan's justice system has been and is in tatters for as long as I can recall. We all are aware of how cases remain pending for years in Pakistani courts, the well to do get away with their crimes and the poor suffer as justice is butchered every day in the country. From the well-known 'judicial murder' of the former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to the recent acquittal of Shah Hussain in the Khadija murder attempt case, the situation of Pakistan's justice system can clearly be analyzed. Khadija Siddiqui a law student from Lahore was stabbed twenty three times in broad daylight by her ex-boyfriend Shah Hussain on a busy road in 2016.

The next destination on our list was the famous Batu Caves and mainly the most visited tourist spot of Malaysia. Before going to Batu Caves one needs to mentally and physically prepare himself, though I wasn't mentally prepared because I had no idea that I w

Malaysia it's Truly Asia! Chapter One: French Village, Bukit Tinggi & Genting Highlands!

French Town, Bukit Tinggi It was yet another foggy day in Lahore with visibility reduced to zero in the mornings and night, the chilly strong winds blowing during the evenings made me shiver as my lips turned dry and my hands became pale and somewhat stiff. Furled comfortably in my thick blanket with a piping hot cup of tea I grabbed my laptop from the table beside me and started watching some TV Shows with an aim of binge watching the entire seasons. As the episode ended I reached out for my phone, a message ringtone emerged from it and I opened my Whatsapp; my father had messaged me '22 December to 5th January' 'Confirmed' 'Pack your bags (with an airplane emoji)' All of a sudden my dry, chapped lips and the stiffness of hands didn't bother me anymore as excitement and enthusiasm welled up inside me and a broad smile immediately appeared on my face.  My flight for Kuala Lumpur on the 22 December had been booked, I was leaving for Kual
