I met this beautiful girl in the mountains, in the middle of a valley, out of nowhere. She was one of a small group of children who came to us, when we got off from our van at the riverside. Most of them were selling eggs. But my eyes instantly caught this girl dressed in red. I kept looking at her, and she looked back at me and we kept smiling each other.
The recent incident in Canada has been really heart breaking and it has brought forth the fear of \’sudden death\’ for many, including myself. Keeping this in mind, I wanted to share how in my journey through depression, even though I was struggling with many different challenges, one of the greatest challenges was the “fear of death”. I battled with countless sleepless nights, because the moment I closed my eyes, the walls of my grave would appear around me and start caving in and that very minute, I would go into panic. Once stuck in this vortex, I would find it very hard to make my way up again. And each time I would fall deeper.

This is neat - alumni from AKU-ISMC have set up an Urdu-English meditation platform to help people cope with the crisis of uncertainty and lockdown. We make a big deal about training future leaders in AKU-ISMC and sometimes that means people who have obvious positions of authority, like politicians, diplomats, scholars or entrepreneurs, but sometimes it means taking a lead in more personal capacities to try and make things better for others.
I'm truly impressed and humbled by Tehmina Mansoor and Zohaib Zuby. They are definitely demonstrating the kind of leadership that makes me proud to be part of AKU.
