Editors Note
              

Creativity  flows  from  a  sense  of  inquistiveness,imagination  and  critical  thinking,all  blended 
together. To create something you need to believe in your own imagination and will power. You 
need  to  take  a  step  towards  your  own  dreams,your  own  ideas  about  life;  one  step  back  to  your 
own true identities. One step back to yourself. 

             Have you ever felt the need to stop and question your actions? Have you ever thought why 
one  should  always  advance?  Take  one  step  forward,be  one  step  ahead,think  one  step  beyond? 
Okay, in life we all have many goals to accomplish and many dreams to realize. But Hey! ‘’Chill it 
out, take it slow”. Do not live your life like a movie being played in fast forward. 

           Discover  the  person  in  you.  Everyone  is  unique.  Everyone  has  got  some  kind  of  talent.  Do 
you know what you are capable of? Do u know how well you understand your surroundings? Who 
knows  you  might  be  a  great  writer,  superb  photographer,  incredible  poet,  terrific  cartoonist, 
exceptional artist,brilliant singer or an excellent director? 

           If  you  can  do  something  or  atleast  think  you  can  then  we  provide  you  with  the  perfect 
platform  for  all  of  your  first  attempts  to  do  something  i.e  An  Electronic  magazine  THE  REVERSE 
GEAR. As we believe the commencement of this magazine is a step towards finding the new ways 
to flourish our internal creative soul, our hidden abilities and intentions. 

  Our  class  is  a  union  set  of  representatives  of  all  social  classes  of  students.  WE  mean  that 
there are the Theetas, Iotas, Beetas, Superheros, Absolute zeros, Refrence points, Real cases, Ideal 
cases  and  nut  cases.  We  have  tried  to  put  a  bit  for  everyone  in  this  magazine.  So  if  you  find 
something in RG  you dont like, there would be two reasons for that 

1. It was never written for you. 
2. It was just another BLUNDER. 

       We  strongly  urge  all  our  fellow  students  to  collect  their  thoughts  and  mould  them  into 
expressive  words  that  will  motivate  others  to  think,  learn  and  remain  alive.  In  the  end,  we 
thankfully  acknowledge  the  valuable  contributions  of  everyone  (for  deatiled  acknowledgments 
goto  Pg.  No.    )  for  making  this  comendable  task  possible.  We  will  try  to  keep  up  our  efforts  to 
improve its standard further and further and to come up to our valuable reader’s expectations. 

   Share your experiences and make it a reflection of your lives...!! 

                                 BE THE DIFFERENCE..!!        BE THE DAWN...!!

As life goes on I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility I realize everything I do is
affecting the people around me So I want to take this time out to apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet And the things they don't want to take responsibility for…..

I'm sorry for the times I attended the lecture

I was in the class and you in service centre
I'm sorry for the times I would go
I'm sorry for the fact that I did not know
That you were sitting at GSSC just wishing we
Could go back to when it was just you and me
I'm sorry for the times I would neglect
I'm sorry for the times I over-respect

I'm sorry for the right things that I've done

I'm sorry I’m always there for more fun
I'm sorry for the fact that I'm not aware
That u would sleep at class when I am not there
Because I m in GSSC like everyday
Sorry for the times I m bunking F.M
Sorry for the times I m flunking I.M
Sorry for the things that I would not say
Like how u the weirdest thing in my world
And how u r the reason my world’s not dull 

I understand that there are some problems

And I am not too blind to know
All the pain you kept inside you
Even though you might not show
If I have to apologize for being wrong
Then it's just a shame on you

I'll always be the reason for your pain and you can put the blame on me
You can put the blame on me [4x]
Said you can put the blame on me [3x]
You can put the blame on me
//******VIVA********

Sorry for the questions teacher put u through

And all the times u didn’t know what to do 

//**** GET OUT!!!!” Sentence ****

5 
 
 Sorry that you had to go and get out of class
Teacher accused u of passing chits
And texting ur friends at the back of class
U were trying to stay busy till u heared from me back
And u would rather be at lalazar with all ur friends
As one big party with love and bliss
And even though class treated us like freaks
We don’t care; we are the queens 

//******QUIZ********
I encircled a second option and you didn’t agree
I returned the quiz and left you there all alone
I'm sorry that you had to solve it on your own 
I'm sorry that I went and added to your grief 
I'm sorry that you had to ask ‘him’ to cheat  
I'm sorry that I finished my quiz way too fast
I wish I would've listened and not be so bad
I'm sorry your quiz turned out this way
sorry that the examiner came and snatched ur paper away
[Bridge] [Chorus]
You can put the blame on me [4x]
Said you can put the blame on me [3x]
You can put the blame on me
I'm sorry that it took u so long to see
you were dead wrong trying to cheat it from me
But I was on tour with Batman in my dream
I'm sorry for the way that examiner dealt
In class, for the embarrassment that you felt
Examiners should always be unleashed quite dumb
You were just a little young girl trying to have a look
So you can answer the question on Law of Hook
I'm sorry for your paper getting tore down
I'm sorry for you getting kicked out
How was I to know you were cheating me

Why doesn't anybody wanna take blame

Now everyone has backed out disgracing my name

I'm just a blunder trying to entertain

Because I love my blunders I'll take that blame
I'll take that blame from you
And you can put that blame on me [2x]
You can put that blame on me
And you can put that blame on me
By Akon and Sara Naeem

Dedicated to those who’ll take the blame

Do you people know the dictionary meaning of note book?? Well don’t worry I’ll tell you!! “It is
a book in which notes or memorandums are kept”.

Quite similarly, Holy Quran is Allah’s note book…!!! Who is the Heaven’s Lord…. It’s the book
of divine guidance and direction for mankind, the final revelation of Allah. It possesses all the
divine notes on the secrets of this universe and even the knowledge of far away that we don’t
know…!!!

In this world of logic and reason the battle of religion is

not only a battle of what the people have to present from
their lives as a representative of their respective religions
but it is also a battle of how logical the commands and
teachings of a religion are. Hence, the second part of the
battle is a battle of scriptures. We can judge the religions
of the world based on how scientifically and logically
correct their scriptures are.

“The only book free from all errors, the only scripture in the world, which is the true 'word of 
ALLAH', is the Holy Quran.” 

One is required by the Book of Islam to observe the various natural phenomena taking place all
around. 

“Most surely, in the variation of the night and the day and what Allah has created in the
Heavens and the Earth, there are signs for people who think”. [83:1720] 

The Holy Quran directs the people to make study of nature and its element so as to understand
and appreciate the all pervading wisdom of the Creator who is Omniscient and Omnipotent.

The Holy Quran says:

“And We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them and We have placed therein 
ravines or road that haply they may find their way. 

And We have made sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its portents. 

And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon, They float each in 
an orbit.” [XXI: 31‐33]

The Hypothesis of science, according to a great scientific thinker Karl Pearson, are formed on
the “basis of the observed facts, which, when confirmed by criticism and experiment, are to in to
the Laws of Nature” (The Grammar of Science).

Now, see that how Islam told humans the scientific rules 1400 years before, through the Holy
Quran; which scientists are discovering now days and giving them the labels of scientific facts.

Science: Finger tips can be used for identification.

Quran: Does man think We cannot assemble his bones? Yes . . . We are able to put together in
perfect order the very tip of his fingers.
Science: Atoms are found in pairs
Quran: Glory be to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as
their own (human) kind, and other things of which they have no knowledge.
Science: Honey is healing for mankind
Quran: Comes from their (the bees) bellies a drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for
human being. Verily in this is a sign for people who reflect.
Science: Separation of salt and sea water
Quran: Verily He is the One Who has joined the two seas: this is palatable and sweet, and this
is salty and bitter. And He made a barrier between the two of them, and a partition that is
forbidden to be passed.
Science: Milk as a wholesome meal
Quran: And verily for you in the cattle there is an instructive sign (lesson). We give you to
drink of that which is in their bellies from between excretions and blood, pure milk palatable to
the drinkers.
Science: Oceans have darkness under their surfaces
Quran: Or as darkness in a vast, deep sea, there it covers waves, from above which are waves,
from above which are clouds. Darkness on top of each other. If a man stretches out his hand, he
can hardly see it. And whoever Allah does not make light for him, for him there is no light.
Science: Iron and steel
Quran: And We sent down iron, in which is severe strength and benefits for mankind. Verily in
this is a sign for people who reflect.
Science: Sun and Moon
Quran: It is not permitted to the sun to catch up with the moon, nor the night outstrips the day.
Each floats in an orbit.
Science: Creation of living creatures from water
Quran: We made from water every living thing.
Science: Mountains have roots inside the earth
Quran: Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, and the mountains as pegs?
A scientific theory is empirical, and is always open to falsification, if new evidence is presented,
but for all those words of Allah Almighty in Holy Quran are as pure as Allah Himself, they are
correct scientifically, logically and from every expect and can never be falsified. If we ever find a

9 
 
Quranic verse that contradicts scientific research or theories then it is only due to the fact that
Humans can be erroneous and Science needs more research in that matter.

“And there is none to change the words of Allah.” [6:34]

While probing for the factual meaning of a tomb you may prefer a definition like

“A monument commemorating the dead”

And yes no doubt it’s the real connotation of this word but Mughal architecture seems to change its
real meaning; for all the mausoleums built in Mughal epoch were a fabulous example of regard and
esteem of a personality and a splendid patronage of fine arts and architecture.

The tomb of Dai Anga located a few paces away from the
Gulabi Bagh gateway is in shambles. The tomb was built
in 1671. The real name of the Dai Anga was Zaibunnisa.
Zeb Un Nisa aka Dai Anga, was a wet nurse of Mughal
Emperor Shah Jehan and his daughter, Princess Sultan
Begum and was well respected in the royal family. She is
known as the founder of the one of the worth seeing
mosques of the period---- Dai Anga Mosque in Lahore.
She was the wife of Murad Khan, a magistrate of Bikaner
during the reign of Jahangir. She had a son Muhammad
Rashid Khan, who was known as one of the best archers
of his times but was killed in an action with Dara
Shikoh.

The mausoleum was originally surrounded by an extensive garden ---Gulabi Bagh or the Garden of
Rosewater. The graves are in an underground chamber. There are two graves, one of Dai Anga and
the other of Shah Jahan’s daughter Sultana Begum. The original cenotaph made of marble was
removed by the Ranjit Singh and replaced with plain brickwork masonry.

The beautiful Gulabi Bagh which surrounded the tomb has now disappeared. Encroachers
have occupied over a kanal of land around the Dai Anga’s tomb despite ban on any construction
within 200-foot of a protected monument.

Thanks to these encroachments, now this architectural marvel looks like misshapen, about to fall
ugly building. All of its past glory and grandeur is lost now. There is a need to take matters into our
hands and do something to save our historical heritage. Otherwise these monuments from past
will be lost forever.

 The Princess At Heart
By Sara Naeem

For me the world wakes every morning

For me the flowers blossom

Wind blows to say me hello

Rain falls to see me smile

Dew drops to rejoice my eyes

Fragrance showers in my path

Every nightingale sings to me

With me the birds hymn

Sun rises to shine bright over me

Moon and stars crave for my company

To this world I belong

In this place I was meant to be

Here I am the Venus

Here I am the Cupid

My soul rejoices, my heart blooms

In my kingdom of Love

I am the Princess at heart

Once upon a time there was a girl. Sweet she was like a candy, charming like dawn, pure at heart, simple in 
her ways. She was a princess at heart; an emancipated soul. She was never the one to be afraid, never to fail. 
She was not the one to hesitate when the duty called. Once her heart decided upon something she pursued 
her goal with such a passion that she never lost. She was destined to win, win and win. She was what her 
dreams had made her. Her love and passion defined her. Purity and excellence were her essence. 

Whenever there was a danger to her kingdom; princess came to the rescue. Whenever there was a need for 
decision  making  and  action;  she  was  the  one  to  be  looked  forward  to.  Her  speech  pleasing,  her  ways 
charismatic, her gait magnificent and her approach brilliant, Strong as she was and wonderful in her ways; 
she was a guide and roll model to all other little princesses. She was the indeed the one to be envied.   

12 
 
But  like  all  other  fairy  tales,  fate  had  a  lot  in  store  for  her.  It  was  yet  to  unleash  the  subliminal  evils  of 
professional  life,  Subliminal  but  potentially  lethal.  Terrific  though  her  ideas  were  and  pragmatic  in  their 
approach,  there  were  some  serious  flaws  in  them.  Due  to  the  same  old  disparity  between  utopias  and 
veracity  she  couldn’t  realize  how  erroneous  she  was.  In  short,  when  she  turned  15,  Disaster  struck  in 
……………….  

From all the possible careers in the world to choose form, she chooses Engineering. She had decided to be 
an engineer. Crushing all the obstacles of FSc and entry test she got admission in Department of Mechanical 
Engineering  at  University  of  Engineering  and  Technology,  Lahore.  A  well  recognized  and  quite  eminent 
institution for engineering (well, at least at national level it is…).  Like always she got what she wished for. A 
dream came true. Not even 18 and she was already on her way to embrace her destiny. Her fairytale, her 
wonderland had evolved into reality.  

Destiny called me and I answered

Pursued it with my eager feet

Neither felt tired nor faltered

Now fruit of my hardships is ripe

And I am keen to take a bite

Look at that magnificent blue buss

Oh! How gracefully it comes to me

It comes to pick me up and take me

Take me to hail my destiny

I’ll go by the bus and have fun

Its reality and my dream came true

To this world I belong

In this place I was meant to be

Here I am the Venus

Here I am the Cupid

My soul rejoices, my heart blooms

In my kingdom of Love

I am the Engineer at heart

She thought that was it. All the hardships have ended. It was time to chill…. Oh’ how wrong she was in her 
ideas, she was about to see that. On first day at her educational heaven, with her being the First year fool, it 
seemed like every senior was keen to have her introduction and misguide her. She blundered her way across 
the  over  populated  roads  of  university  and  got  herself  registered  in  her  department.  Outside  department 
Ragging was at its full swing. Princess was baffled for the first time in her life 

. With department full of so‐called Dons and Bhai’s and roads swarming with seniors, there seemed no place 
to go and sit peacefully. She had to debate on “Ashwariya Rai’s contribution in Pakistan Movement”, give her 
intro with a suffix of “Asan ty bra takluf keta”, “Khmby py crh ky” and sing English songs in Punjabi blah blah 
blah… At last she took refuge in Girls service centre which serves both as a personal heaven and haven to the 
present date.  

She  was  a  little  disturbed  but  she  was  a  princess.  She  has  never  learned  to  be  afraid.  She  threw  these 
memories out of her mind and faced the fact.  

She  was  a  Uetian  now  and  a  Princess  at  heart.  No  one  could  lower  her  spirits  not  even  those  hectic 
timetables, tons of recommended books and not to forget “Workshops”. She learned to live with all those 
subjects, labs, shops and assignments.  

Princess  was  happy  in  her  new  kingdom.  Each  moment  was  a  new  experience  and  every  day  a  new  joy. 
Princess loved to be a part of all those fun and “Shugals”. 

But then again Her Royal Highness was put to a test called Acute Quiz Syndrome and Hyper Exam Phobia 
(AQS & HEP). She had just started planning to find all those recommended notes and books when someone 
put  date  sheets  on  the  notice  board.  What  had  she  learned  yet?  And  to  ask  her  to  sit  in  an  “EXAM”  and 
answer all Questions? It was barbaric. Her kingdom was at stake and there was no time to prepare. She did 
what she could and went through “MIDS”. Whether she would be able to scratch a pass in every paper was 
debatable.  Her  spirits  were  lower  than  they  had  ever  been  in  her  entire  life.  Was  Princess  going  to  fail  at 
something? Was she going to lose this battle? Had she finally met her match? 

No, she won’t let that happen. Of that she was sure at least. But alas, before she could recover from that 
shock,  even  before  results  of  Mids  could  come  out;  call  to  gallows  was  again  displayed  on  notice  boards 
condemning The Princess to another hell like experience…. Another Attack of AQS & HEP….. This time, just 
more lethal  

Destiny called me and I answered

Pursued it with my eager feet

Now I am where I wanted to be

Somewhere I was never supposed to be

My whole life has become calculator

Equations, laws and solutions

14 
 
 What was that Cramer said?

What law Euler told to follow?

Should I integrate or differentiate?

I must finish lab reports tomorrow!!

Or should I complete assignments first?

What am I doing here?

I never belonged here

Nor would I ever belong

I am stranded in my own heaven

Here I am the Brain-less

Here I am the Stupid

In my kingdom of Confusion

I am the “First Year fool” at heart

Princess was able to blunder her way across her first semester physically in one piece but shattered mentally 
and  shaken thoroughly. She  thought  that  she  might  be able to  pass  that semester  and  not  have  to  attend 
summer school at all. That was really great news but something had to be done before the next attacks of 
that deadly disease. Some kind of cure or vaccine must be designed or discovered that could not only help 
people in future but also make them immune incase of attack of AQS & HEP. So with these ideas of social 
reforms  in  her  mind,  she  resolved  to  spend  her  “End  of  Term  Vacations”  of  3  whole  days  in  research  to 
achieve her noble goal. 

With  close  observation,  careful  hypothesis,  inferences  and  continuous  hard  work  she  was  able  to  discover 
the  magic  medicine.  The  Legend  of  old…..The  Necessity  of  today….  the  one  and  only ……”Mechanical  Chill 
Pill”. 

That magic drug cured Princess of all diseases and their after effects not even leaving behind a lone sign of 
her previous miseries.  Once again she was the champ! Once again she was care free, the emancipated soul. 
Chill  pills  were  really  an  incredible  medicine  and  had  proven  their  worth.  But  now  there  was  something 
unusual about Princess too. There was a small but quite significant change. Princess was no longer bothered 
by the grades, GP’s, exams or quizzes. Knowledge was the only thing she really cared about now and passing 
every subject in first attempt. But that was not a big problem. There was no point in making herself half dead 
with these trivial worries. She could easily retake the exam in Summer school and pass the subject. Life had 
never been more uncomplicated, and guess what… Princess lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER. 

For me the world wakes every morning

Sitting here in this empty darkened room, I am reviewing the past. My past, Which is as black as
the walls in front of me, as jumbled as these things around me, as vivid as the thoughts inside of me
and now, as clear to me as my END.

Sitting here I can still read the headlines of the stacks of the newspapers placed in the corner, still
see the titles of all these magazines and still recall each and every moment, each and every event
associated with them. All those memories are rushing back to my mind. All those laughter’s, all
those cries, all those smiles, all those tears, Each and every moment is coming back to me. It’s like a
movie being played in REVERSE.

Sitting here I can see my mistakes now, realize where I went wrong, know what made me stranded
in my own world, figure out the reason behind this nothingness, tell why my heart is completely
blank and how my soul got BLACKED OUT.

Sitting here I can see it all, sense it all. But I can’t feel anything now. No sorrow, no happiness, no
remorse, no joy, no…..Nothing at all. I am hollow inside of me as I never had enough time to pay
attention to the cries of my own DYING SOUL.

Sitting here I can see the people moving in and out of my vision, busy in their tasks, so absorbed in
their hectic routines, acting like robots; just like I used to do, and now simply ignoring me as I don’t
exist. Today they don’t feel what I feel. They don’t know what I know. They don’t have to endure
the pains I have to. They are so ignorant. They just don’t have any idea…. But TIME IS A CRUEL
TEACHER.

Sitting here I can see them going. With every passing moment they are moving forward. They are
packing, will go to a new place and then go on. That’s what they do. That’s what they are good at.
That’s what their life is all about. That’s what my life used to be all about……. ADVANCING!!!

Sitting here now, I can see the world without all those illusions; Pure and cruel as it is. I can see the
reality now, with my mirage gone. The utopia is over. I am out of my wonderland. The race for
power, the hunger for name, the lust for money all is over. Now, I can see beyond my magic mirror
on the wall. For the first time in my life, I can SEE.

But sitting here I can also see the sun setting in my world, the horizon fading into nonbeing and the
birds returning to their nests. It’s the night of my day. Shadows are prevailing fast over me. Sitting
here I can see this is my end. This is the time I’ll just have to leave. This is where my role ends.
Because I know when u can see the end; it is the END.

Sitting here I can see everything is shifting, evolving into something new. Change has begun.
Spring is coming and the autumn is over. Life has just taken its course, leaving me behind in the
shadows FORGOTTEN FOREVER.

I have a faith that one day all will be well 
One day I won’t have to hide in my shell 
One day I will see beyond my illusions 
One day I will not suffer from these delusions 
 
Even though there will be suicide attacks every day 
I will do what I can do for that, I’ll pray 
Even though drones will still attack our borders 
I am free, I’ll protest against the jungle order 
Even though things will be worse than ever they were in past 
I’ll close my eyes; be blind; play my part 
Even though with lack of food many children will die 
I’ll go to a five star, enjoy and wonder why? 
Even though there will be pictures in paper of bloody corpse 
I’ll turn them upside down, laugh; feel no remorse 
Even though my countrymen will be blamed to be terrorists 
I’ll be a liberal, blame them; not be a fundamentalist 
Even though my Kashmiri Brothers will not enjoy a moment‘s relief 
I’ll call SRK my hero, wear Indian brand; express my grief 
Even though many more Muslim states will fall in so called fight 
I’ll express my concern saying; “Serves those terrorists right!” 
Even though Islamic culture will be made fun of by media 
I’ll register my gripe by wishing to live in liberal America 
 
Enchained by my own cowardice to face reality 
I have become slave of my own choices 
I am what I chose to be; now I must suffer 
I am the prisoner of my own hopes and fears

While sitting under the shady tree 
Someone is dropping stones into the stream; 
Eyes are full of tired tears 
Someone is remembering the past years; 
A large beautiful Home full of joy 
His loved ones were all there with him; 
The true prayers of His Parents dwelled there 
But he knows now, nothing is here; 
Someone has lost all his dears 
Now all he is left with is his tears; 
All his jokes with his lovely friends 
All that what has come to an end? 
Little quantities with his baby brother 
Now he knows will be no further; 
For he and his loneliness will live together 
Both will make each other forever bitter; 
But he has the HOPE even now for the best 
Although all his relations are long dead 

Dream World
By Syeda Zahra 
Somewhere in the lonely sky 
A star was wandering in vagary 
I tried to catch it in midway 
But the moon was chasing with sway 
By his hoary face trying me to horrify 
I ran away expeditiously 
Flying in moments of time jovially 
Felt wearied guessed its time to stay 
Reposing and resting under Saturn’s ring 
I heard Neptune and Pluto whispering 
Gliding, scampering in the Milky Way 
I met so many stars on my way 
A shooting star with its wandering rays 
Looked vitrified and somewhat grey 
Traffic of little stars became cause of delay 
Venus, mercury, mars asked me to stay 
I replied it’s a time to move away 
Jupiter said a reluctant Goodbye  
Hey!! Its sun wishing me blissfully 
For the rest of the day……..!!!!!

 Examiner Review
By Sara Naeem

An examiner is a person trained and converted into a beast. Cruel 
eyes, cunning mind, evil  voice,  insulting abuses, shrieking attacks 
on  already  terrorized  students,  beastly  responses,  heat,  fury  of 
blood,  exultation  in  snatching  paper,  villainous  deeds  and 
behavior,  relish  in  savagery,  verbal  wantonness  and  viciousness, 
total robbing of finer and tender sentiments, the worship of dark 
authority,  he  fury  of  hurting,  murdering  a  student’s  hopes  and 
killing  his  chances  of  survival,    the  urge  to  destruction  and 
aggressive use of human anatomy & pelvic thrust. All these things combined together in a 
body make an examiner.  

To  review  these  evil  creatures  found  roaming  freely  in  examination  halls  is  an 
agonizing business. Nonetheless, I’ll bear that pain to give you a general idea about these 
dark creatures      WHO-MUST-BE-NOT-NAMED!!!      

Though they are quite human during lecture i.e. during roll call yet they forget that 
they  were  once  breathing,  loving,  peeking  and  cheating  students,  when  they  enter  the 
“SHAMSHAN GHATT” to execute poor students. 

Even  the  slightest  changes  do  not  go  unnoticed  from  these  eagle  eyed  monsters.  Those 
whose hands are smeared in ink are accused to be guilty of “B☺☺TIS” while those who are 
coughing  and  stretching  get  the  threat  of  being  marked  as  a  “Cheater”.  These  foreign 
loving, Canadian agents feel proud to lack humble human nature. 

Snatching away papers, showing unnecessary attitude and rudeness is what they believe as 
a necessary qualification to be eligible for being an examiner.  

Exams are really the worst thing in this universe but no offense; these examiners are the 
one who make them unbearably agonizing.
