The Disappearance of Common Sense (As Told by Warning Labels)
There was a time when products trusted us to use them correctly. A ladder did not need to remind us not to stand on the very top rung. A candle did not feel compelled to clarify that fire, historically speaking, is hot. Shampoo did not warn us that it was not to be consumed as a breakfast smoothie.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Pompous Post recently came into possession of the following document while rummaging through the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet marked “Probably Important.” What appears to be the opening salvo in a potential journalistic battle royale (a term we are using in the broadest sense and without paying any royalties to Vince McMahon) raised enough questions about integrity, tradition, and the future of news that we felt obligated to share it.

My Best Friend
Our teacher had a particular dislike for a boy named Mushtaq. But Mushtaq had a unique talent that, in a way, both amused and frustrated everyone.

Uncle Azad’s Cake
Uncle Azad’s Cake Uncle Azad held a high-ranking government position and was known for his confidence and decisiveness in office. But at home, he was just like any other man, curious and sometimes a little impulsive. One Sunday morning, he woke up unusually early. His wife was still asleep, and the children were buried in their dreams. Something struck him suddenly—he had a strong craving for cake. He realized that all the shops were still closed, and his wife, who usually handled all the cooking, was resting. A bold idea popped into his mind: why not make the cake himself?
