1948 - A Haunting 😈

Image
When Pakistan was new to history its population was just 70 million. Therefore, many places were wild and uninhabited.   At the early days of migration, between 1948 - 49, there lived Molana Ahmed and his family near the suburbs of Karachi. They lived quite far from other families. Their house was very old probably of late 1800s and remained abandoned for several years until  Mr. Ahmed purchased it. But the thing that he didn't  know was… the house was HAUNTED!!!   It all started one night when everyone was deep asleep...there came a strange noise from the bedroom as if someone is trying to move the chairs from one corner to the other. Molana Ahmed got awake but suddenly the noises stopped. Mr. Ahmed gave no heed to the incident and went to sleep.   Early at dawn, when everyone  was asleep and Molana Ahmed was reciting Quran after Fajr  prayers, he heard some strange noises from the room adjacent to the room where his family was sleeping.

This corona virus has me and my 8 years old twin sisters sitting at home so we took some art classes, there the lady was pretty nice and she gave us some tips and tricks on how to make geometrical designs. I had compass, protractor, scale, pencil, colors, and papers, from which we made these awesome design. We only used geometrical tools to make geometrical designs. We took 3 to 4 combination of colors or you can do pastel colors and color the whole design.  It was a soothing experience as we colored in the different shapes. My sisters and I enjoyed it a lot and hope you’ll too.  It would be a great pleasure if you try and share your designs with me in the comment section. Article by Eshal Salman
