Welcome!

Dear fellow knowledge-seeker,

I warmly welcome you to my personal blog! Here you will find a variety of my writings, poetry, and artwork. The topics I typically choose to write on tend to be very controversial, especially pertaining to my thoughts on political issues, philosophy, religion, women's rights, and of course my people (Pashtuns/Pakhtuns).

I apologize, if I offend anyone, in advance. But please feel free to leave your comments/feedback, as there is nothing I love more than an intellectually-stimulating debate/discussion on a number of controversial topics.

You are also more than welcome to subscribe to my blog, so that you may be notified of any future posts. Just simply press "Follow" (if you already have a Wordpress account) or enter your email address to subscribe.

Thank you very much for dropping by and I hope you'll come back soon.

Happy reading!

Much love,
SesapZai
