Do you have any fantasy you can share with us?
اب تو بس کام یا ٹویٹر۔
کچھ خاص نہیں چل رہا ہوتا لائف میں
ایک سیٹ پیٹرن ہے

What’s your favourite holiday destination
میں چونکہ گھر سے دور جاب کرتا ہوں۔
تو چھٹیاں منانے کے لئے بیسٹ پلیس گھر ہی لگتا ہے فیملی کے ساتھ۔
وہاں جا کر عموما ڈیجیٹل لائف سے دور رہتا ہوں

How do you handle stress and pressure?
یا ذکر کی کوانٹٹی بڑھا دیتا ہوں یا ہنسی کی۔
دونوں ہی چیزیں نارملائز کرتی ہیں۔
بہت ذیادہ دل اداس ہوں ڈپریشن ہوں تو بچوں کے پاس چلے جانا یا ماں جی کے گھٹنے سے لگ کر بیٹھنا سکون دیتا ہے

Your message for readers of http://pknama.com?
لائف اتنی چھوٹی سی ہے کہ جھگڑے کرنے کی بالکل گنجائش نہیں دل اور ظرف کو تھوڑا سا وسیع کریں۔
زندگی کی خوشیاں آپ کو ڈھونڈ ڈھونڈ کر ملیں گی
