Today, I Saw My Inner Child at the Bus Stop
Today, I Saw My Inner Child at the Bus Stop By Ihtisham Hussain It was one of those mornings that felt like it hadn’t woken up yet. The sky yawned behind a veil of gray clouds, and the city moved like it was still rubbing sleep from its eyes. I walked my usual path to the office—headphones in, coffee in hand, thoughts already tangled in deadlines and inboxes.

The World You See Isn’t Yours
You were born into a worldview. Before you had language, before you could walk, before you knew what money was — your brain was quietly absorbing a script. Not from your DNA, but from your environment. That script? Your social class.

A Stranger Gave Me a Note. It Changed My Entire Life.
It was the kind of day that feels like the world is quietly giving up. The clouds hung low, the rain fell without sound, and everything around me felt tired — like even the wind had grown weary of moving. I had just lost my job. My partner had left two weeks earlier. My rent was overdue. And I hadn’t told anyone, because honestly… I didn’t think anyone would care. I was sitting on a wooden bench outside a coffee shop, no coffee in hand, just staring at the cracks in the sidewalk like they were telling me something. That’s when he sat down beside me. --- 🧍 The Stranger Who Said Nothing He looked to be in his late 50s. Wore a grey coat that looked far too thin for the weather and had a beard that suggested he hadn’t smiled in years. He didn’t say hello. Didn’t ask for change. Didn’t even look at me. He just sat — and after about a minute, placed a small folded piece of paper on the bench between us. Then, without a word, he stood and walked away into the soft drizzle, like a ghost politely excusing himself from a room. I stared at the paper. Something about it felt… deliberate. Weighted. --- 📝 The Note I unfolded it with the care usually reserved for fragile things. The handwriting was messy but readable. It said: > “The next time you want to give up, remember this: The world is not better without you. It is quieter. Colder. Smaller. You are not failing — You are just beginning. Survive today. Create tomorrow.” I read it once. Then again. By the third time, my hands were shaking. It was like someone had reached inside my chest, found the thing that was cracked, and whispered, “I see you.” --- 🌧️ A Shift I Couldn't Explain I didn’t jump up and become a motivational speaker. I didn’t suddenly solve all my problems. But something inside… shifted. I walked home differently. I looked around differently. I cried — not because I was sad, but because something in me had moved. The note didn’t promise magic. It didn’t lie. It simply reminded me: You are still here. And somehow, that was enough. --- 📚 The Ripple Effect I pinned that note to the wall beside my bed. Every morning, I read it like a prayer. I started journaling. Started walking more. Started reaching out to people — just small hellos and check-ins. One day, I saw someone sitting alone on a train, crying quietly behind sunglasses. I didn’t know what to say. So I wrote the same words I had been given on a sticky note… and gently left it on the seat beside them. They looked at it. Looked at me. Said nothing. But I saw it — the breath they took, the shift in their chest, the beginning of something. That’s when I knew: the note wasn’t just for me. It was for anyone hanging by a thread. --- 🧭 The Mystery That Doesn’t Matter I never saw that man again. I don’t know who he was, or why he gave me that note. Maybe he once sat on a bench and someone gave him a note. Maybe he was just tired too, and found healing in giving rather than receiving. Or maybe… maybe he was just one of those people who understands that sometimes, hope is best shared by hand. --- 💭 What I Know Now I am still not where I want to be. But I’m moving. Breathing. Trying. And every now and then, when I see someone struggling — I write a note. > “You are not failing. You are just beginning.” Because it’s true. And because I know — from experience — that a single stranger, on a single rainy day, can change a life.

The Bottle Engineer
In a quiet village tucked between dusty hills and rice paddies, the sound of children laughing had grown quieter with each passing year. Parents watched helplessly as their kids fell sick over and over again... vomiting, feverish, dehydrated. Doctors called it waterborne illness. The village called it a curse.

the loin and cat. Content Warning.
"The Lion and the Cat" In the heart of the Serengeti, under a golden sun and beneath an endless sky, there ruled a mighty lion named Baruti. His mane flowed like fire, his roar shook the treetops, and every creature in the savanna respected him. Baruti was strong, brave, and feared by all.
