“We engage with prominent figures in the industry, exploring their visions for the progress and unfolding of 2024. Delving into their aspirations for a radiant new year, we uncover the reasons each of us must play a pivotal role in shaping a brighter future.“
I have planned bright prospects for my family. I intend to do something better for the social circle I move in and radiate my thoughts and intentions within the sphere of my influence. Whatever is humanly possible through words and deeds I want to stretch the tentacles of pleasure and peace. I have the avidity to see the global peace and fraternal attitude of interest among human beings of the world. I want to see coexistence, with love, affection, and sympathy thriving among us all, regardless of color, creed, language, and religious adherence. Let us exert tolerance and spread positivity in all facets of our lives. Inclination towards waging war and nursing acrimony should be nipped and curved with vehemence. I hope to see 2024 as a nation, free of any worldly pursuit.
2023 has been surreal. I celebrated my daughter’s first birthday and a week later buried our beloved father. I’ve seen the worst atrocities committed on babies and children by mankind. Then to my shock and horror, I’ve seen the so-called beacons of “civilisation”, upholders of humanity turn apologists for those very crimes. Many masks have fallen off. All the fake humanitarians were exposed. But where there has been death, destruction, and darkness; I’ve seen hope and light too. Many people have rediscovered their faith, which has inevitably strengthened their humanity, leading to a purposeful life. I thank Allah SWT for all my blessings, and for bringing the righteous together from different backgrounds and religions. I don’t know what the future holds but I know this – The world has changed.
As we step into the next year, let’s dream of a world where peace reigns supreme. It’s time for a definitive resolution to the enduring Palestinian issues, and let that ripple of resolution extend to the regions of Kashmir and Balochistan. But the dream doesn’t stop there—I envision the onset of fair elections, a chorus of voices echoing through the democratic process. In the coming year, may education and a progressive mindset claim center stage, leading us toward a future brimming with enlightenment.

I hope to see sustainable peace globally in 2024. 2023 was full of global conflicts from Russia, and Ukraine to Israel and Palestine. It was a bad year for humanity. I hope to see Pakistan regaining its excellence and stability in full form in all fields ranging from economy to sports to political stability. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2023 has been a year of awakening, and my deepest desire for 2024 is to witness substantial progress in addressing climate change,” I envision a world where sustainability takes center stage, urging for collective efforts to heal our planet. On a personal note, I want to emphasize the importance of inner peace and well-being. “2024 should be a year of self-reflection and personal growth, Finding balance amidst chaos is key to nurturing our spirits. In a world marred by conflicts, we all must advocate for global peace initiatives. Unity among nations is paramount. Let us strive for harmony and understanding, with the significance of fostering peace and cooperation worldwide. I am hoping that the Dawn of 2024 will bring a brighter, more sustainable future.
