Human Emotions

by Zaighum Sharif

Each and everyone of us has our own human emotions. Days can be filled with happiness whereas other days can be full of sadness. The uniqueness of one’s emotions can very rarely be understood by others. It is really difficult if not impossible to tell others how you feel or for them to understand how you are feeling.

A love poet

by Jibril Emmanuel

“A Love Poet” takes the reader through the twists and turns of love in all of its dimensions.
