Let’s Change the World
Starting off my blog today I just want to tell everyone about some of the good deeds I did this week. I don’t have much to brag about but still I hope it’ll have some effect on the society sooner or later.
The first thing that I did this week may sound a little corny but that’s just how it is. So I got up in the morning and since I didn’t have anything in particular to do I just sat on my bed spaced out for like 10 minutes when suddenly an idea crossed my mind. I got up and searched the numbers of my old friends after much trouble I finally found the number of my best friend who was with me back in school days. I called her up thinking she might not pickup but I don’t know whether it was a miracle or what she picked up the call. I recognized her voice right away, I told her who I was and after talking for 15 minutes she started crying, I was taken aback .I asked her why she was crying and she told me about the tough time she was going through and how pleased she was to hear from such an old friend. I comforted her and we decided to hangout sometime in the future.
The second thing I did is a very little thing but it means a lot to somebody and can bring them real happiness. There’s this guard at the entrance gate of our society. As everybody know how hot it’s in Lahore these days and despite this hot weather he keep guarding the place for like 8–10 hours a day while standing. So I simply went to him with a bottle of a cold soda and a lunch box prepared by “Amma” and gave it to him. I still can’t forget the happiness on his face. He thanked me and gave me his sincerest dua.

The third thing I did was to help Amma in doing house chores. It’s a really normal thing for everyone but still I got up early and after talking to my friend I went straight to the kitchen. I did the dishes and decided to cook a hearty breakfast for everybody so that Amma can rest for the day and can sleep in a little more. I quickly prepared the breakfast and called everyone which made my Amma super happy and others surprised and shocked since I’m not a big fan of cooking.
The fourth thing I did, I think is obligatory for me. That I’m bound to do it by all means. There’s an orphanage I visit every once in a while. I love going there and hanging out with those kids. So I along with my sisters went to the orphanage for voluntary work. We had lunch with the kids. We did many fun activities which made the kids very happy.
The last thing I did is that I rescued some birds. By rescuing them I mean I bought them and set them free. Well for you who have no idea what that is I’ll explain. So there are some guys who catch these birds and put them inside this huge cage or net, so that people can free them by buying them. That’s just what I did.
Concluding this whole blog I’ll just point out and explain some things. First I have to explain the title of my blog “Let’s Change The World” I chose this title for a reason I want to tell people that by doing these small deeds we can change this harsh and cruel world eventually it might take sometime but it will happen for sure. How? I’ll tell you, by spreading love , by comforting someone , by taking care of someone , by helping someone in need , by spending time with people who have no one. These easy steps help a lot in building a healthy and happy society.
