 No Father
 Mad mother
 Living in poor saturated area
 No social life no friends
 Constrained to my room
 No boyfriend or lover
 No Father: taught me not to trust men or revolve my life around them
 Mad mother: gave me the thirst for knowledge made me humane
 No social life or friends: gives me time to reflect on myself, focus on knowledge and things that
actually matter e.g REVOLUTION, ART, HISTORY, SPEAKING UP LEADING THE MASSES! Polish
yourself so much SO MUCH that people are blown away just by talking to you. Debate like an
international diplomat. Master Philosophy, read BOOKS, read up EVERY country’s history, war,
specialities, trade, culture etc. Read history of every civilization. Master the violin. Learn Dragon
style in kung fu, Do things others are NOT doing. LET THEM waste their time posting memes,
flexing their pseudo intellectualism, fucking like the horniest breed of rabbits, and debating over
socially vain and petty issues. Let them be petty. Let them be horny and sell themselves short.
While these people WASTE away their youthful years, you should utilize the next ten years in
the most efficient way possible. Read one book a week, write a lot of poetry,practive violin for
hours, finish all of the syllabus before classes even begin. Paint and sketch A LOT. Finish WSC
syllabus and find extensions to their knowledge.
 One country a week, all of its history. Make timeline notes.
 One poet a week, try to imitate.\ Collect poetry.
 One book a week Make notes.
 One WSC subject a week. Make notes
 One philosopher a week. Outline main ideas.
 EVERYDAY updates on local and international politics. Keep a journal.
 4 art pieces a day MAX PRODUCTIVITY.
 Alevel syllabus preparation. 6 subjects. Make notes.
 Constrained to my room: After exams, maybe not! You have a scooty! To literally go around all
of Lahore. Text Fatima or Ahmed or someone else and go hang at some café or Coopera Art
Gallery or the Museum! And srsly if room is pretty and private it ain’t so bad! Get books from
Library increase your General knowledge! Take Japanese language lessons or self learn Latin!
Read a whole LOT of books! Attend MUNS, prepare all of A-level syllabus and keep praying for
distinctions! Despite what you might think, life isn’t that bad. Sure you have a lot of early set
backs in life. A lot of things chaining you down, with no light at the end of the tunnel. But
remember when Mam Tabassum called you ‘’brave’’? Because you are brave, Maham. And
different, strong, unique. You’ve seen things most people your age wouldn’t see until late into
their 30s. All this life experience has got to mean something! It needs to get channeled into
something extra ordinary! Like books, distinctions, Art or poetry! YOU have spent shelterless
nights, you have slept hungry at night, you have been abandoned to fend for yourself. You
survived. You can thrive.
 Living in poor saturated area: One side you see extreme proverty and on the other you see the
developed heart of Lahore. You live in the junctions bw the worlds, a mid point vortex. You’re in

the heart of the city, this will help your social life greatly. You could learn Violin, dance and
Taekwando.
