...Autumn

(Officially written on Sunday, 27 June 2010)

Crawling beneath the woods,
petrified.

Locating with utmost effort
... its way.

Bumping over twigs,
Unaware of its course,

Turning a hazy leaf,
By its utmost force,

Struggling for a way,
To find a line of trail,

Lost amidst the dead leaves,
Freshly raked unto a heap.

Tis the way, autumn greets...
The lowly cricket.

In the stillness of the night,
As the world loses in slumber.

Till the day breaks, and larks sing,
For the crimson morn'

And the children chirp,
While playing with enthuse,

Amid the befallen leaves,
That break and crack,

Rejoicing the wonders,
That Autumn begets,

With warmth for some...
And icy for others.

Deceit followed by sincerity,
Its intimations, forever dual.

With nothing much left to do except waiting for my designation to arrive, which was still a good thirty five minutes away, I tried relaxing my back against the uncomfortable and stiff seat that was not letting me sit put. And so I kept shifting my position in order to ease my back every now and then until I noticed her sitting at the f

Where happiness is handmade!

by Sasha Scheherzade Each year more and more craftpreneurs are provided a huge platform by The Crafter's Guild at The Crafter's Expo, a vibrant craft fair, bustling with activity and color, where home-based craft community of Pakistan displays their exquisite and innovative handmade products, which speak volumes about their continued efforts and reflect their zest for creativity. From edibles to wearables, this year The Crafter's Expo held in December 2016 (or TCE16) showcased some 122 local artisans and crafters; both rural and urban, thereby vigorously promoting their precious businesses. Following the analogy "Happiness is Handmade", the idea behind the expo is to strengthen and revive the otherwise forgotten cottage industry of homeland through promotion of their small businesses and push back the craft community from backend to the forefront. Since 2012, what began as a small initiative by Varah Musavvir of The Crafter's Guild, has now evolved into a f
