Shahid Murtaza Khan ✉

A heartwarming story emerged on Dr Ali Jan Road, Srinagar J&K. In this viral video clip, iftaari kits took on a special role as messengers of love, spreading unexpected joy and connection among the people. The funny clip is attached below for your entertainment only.

Represeantative Picture

Amid the bustling crowd, a young man with a heart full of hope and pockets full of iftaari kits decides to spread joy and perhaps, a little bit of love magic. Each packet, carefully assembled with juice, dates, and a tiny, heartfelt note, carried a simple yet earnest plea: "Asalamualaikum, please pray for me that I marry her." The same wish was tenderly echoed in Urdu on the paper chits, Mere Liye Dua Kro Ki Mere Shadi Ussai Hojaye, bridging languages in the name of love.

The story takes a delightful turn when an unsuspecting commuter, now the unexpected carrier of love's message, brings the kits home. Upon discovering the note, a mix of amusement and awe fills the air. The family gathers around, turning a simple act of reading into a communal spectacle of mispronunciations and laughter.

Not long after, the digital world catches wind of this love-laden campaign. A video surfaces online, charmingly narrated by a user amidst the giggles and gentle corrections of his family. The internet does its magic, and the video dances from screen to screen, gathering views, hearts, and hopefully, prayers for the mysterious Romeo.

Srinagar, with its tradition of tying knots of faith at shrines, is no stranger to public displays of hope and longing. Yet, this modern-day love story, with iftaari kits as its medium, introduces a novel chapter in the book of whimsical wishes. The protagonist, our anonymous Romeo, asks for nothing more than the blessings of his fellow men and women, his identity and his beloved's shrouded in mystery, adding to the enchantment.

Traditionally, the streets of Srinagar at iftaari time buzz with the generosity of young souls distributing traditional refreshments. However, this tale adds a sprinkle of romantic longing to the mix, making it a story that's as sweet as the dates in the iftaari kits.

It's a narrative that resonates with the soulful, often humorous journey of seeking love, making it a cherished memory in the collective heart of the internet. Whether the prayers of the community have swayed the scales in favor of our love-struck hero remains a mystery, but one thing is for sure: this tale of iftaari and wishes has etched itself into the folklore of the internet, reminding us all that sometimes, all you need is a little faith, a few dates, and the courage to ask the world for love.

How YouTube, Instagram and Facebook Impact your Health

Suraj Nair ✉ The rapid-fire nature of short-form videos, particularly YouTube shorts, Instagram reels and Facebook videos with their quick cuts and fleeting images, can be particularly damaging to our ability to focus and concentrate. The constant barrage of new content can lead to a phenomenon known as "continuous partial attention," where we are constantly distracted and unable to fully engage with any one thing. Reprsentative picture Moreover, the reliance on bite-sized content can also lead to a decline in our ability to process and analyze more complex information. Short-form videos often prioritize simplicity and brevity over depth and nuance, which can lead to a superficial understanding of the world around us. As we continue to consume more and more short-form videos, we must take steps to mitigate the potential negative effects on our thinking abilities.

The Paradox of Desires

 Mudasir Koul ✉ Some seek to get a divorce, while others search for a lifelong partner! Have you ever felt like the world is a complex puzzle, where our dreams sometimes clash with others? Jealousy is a common trait — wanting what others have while they desire what we once possessed. Let’s talk more about it and untie this web. In relationships, some seek to leave marriage feeling trapped, while others search for a lifelong partner. Many crave fame for public recognition, yet some long for attention even if it means being marginalized. Being suddenly drawn into the limelight often makes people appreciate privacy. At these moments, they are longing for times when they are the only people in the room, and they can finally be free from the watchful eyes of the public. While some people hunt for recognition and feel the “publicity pride,” others who want to connect crave the community that accompanies the status. No matter what, our dreams change throughout the life. We are excited about t

Ikkz Ikbal ✉     The resilience shown by the people of Gaza during the nearly six-month-long brutal assault has ignited curiosity about Islam among youth in the West, leading many to embrace Islam. People of various backgrounds are responding to the call of Islam, across continents and oceans, from the busy streets of Melbourne to the vast sprawl of American cities. One of the most powerful factors appears to be the unshakable faith, determination and resilience of the people of Gaza, elevating the consciousness of the world.  The people of Palestine and Gaza continue to suffer.    Israel continues its relentless onslaught on Palestinians for more than 6 months now, killing tens and thousands of people and continuing its bombardment despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an ‘immediate ceasefire’.
