MIRROR: SEEING ANEW

Having cleared all the payments for my new apartment, I entered my room for the first time, and what made me leap with joy was a huge mirror on the wall. It immediately caught my attention. As life gained momentum with a busier schedule due to my taxing responsibilities, the mirror went unnoticed. However, one fine morning, I suddenly realized that the mirror on the wall had collected a lot of dirt. While cleaning my room, I thought of cleaning the mirror too. As I wiped down this life-sized mirror, my tangled mind started to unravel, leading to an unbiased analysis of my own life. I share these reflections with candidness, hoping you too may connect them to your own life.

“Behold the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them.” (Isaiah: 42: 9)

The world is rapidly changing everything in and around us. From the time of our birth until now, the world has been in constant flux. We have witnessed a paradigm shift in technology: from small transistors that attracted crowds to paan shops during India vs. Pakistan cricket matches, to black and white TV sets in our locality, and now to colourful TV sets. We’ve moved from landlines to mobile phones, and from typewriters to computers and laptops in every house. Today, the information of the entire world is at our fingertips—we just need to google it, and we have it. The advancements in technology have made it possible for us to communicate with everyone, regardless of distance.
