Rafy is an example of some of the finest poets to emerge on the world’s literary stage today. This young poet has garnered himself a loyal following due to his ability to weave an intricate, yet simple tapestry of words which easily convey their meanings to the everyday reader. Rafy refers to himself as a ‘Proud Pakistani’, and rightly so. Pakistan is a country rich with a varied literary history. Indeed, poets such as Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Meer Taqi Meer, and Hafeez Jullundhri have created some of the most treasured poetry in the world today and called Pakistan their home.

Continuing the tradition of proud, Pakistani poets, Rafy’s work often centers on the mystical relationship of love between two individuals. Interestingly enough, Rafy is able to accomplish this feat by dwelling on the simplicity of the emotion being felt at the moment, rather than dwelling on the cliche’d drama as so many other poets want to do. His brief, brisk and at times, haunting poems often relate the tale of loves entanglements, without over burdening the reader. Indeed, Rafy’s poetry encompasses a breath of fresh air, as he continually and consistently immerses us in a world of gentle words, backed by strong emotion.

At times, his poems appear to be tied together with a subtle, and gentle thread, while each maintaining its individuality and uniqueness. Many of his selections concern the affairs of the heart, including its frustrations, joys and duality. His poem, for instance, “For You”, reflects on the poet’s interpretation of the contrary path love sometimes takes, likening it to a battle within one’s soul. For a short time, Rafy allows us into his own, aesthetic, creative inner sanctum, with each new poem telling us a bit more of how he sees the world around him, and his reaction to it. A keen observer of life, love and its tribulations, Rafy’s style has earned him a steadfast, loyal fan base, and it is with great pleasure and anticipation that followers of Rafy’s poetry continue to await his upcoming works.

Here are some of his poems:

These days, in the fitness world, when describing the latest workout fads usually, they usually aren’t accompanied by words like longevity, strength and flexibility. But for leading fitness expert Derek Williams, his proven fitness philosophy demonstrates value far beyond instant gratification.

Growing up as an athlete, Williams had constantly been surrounded by fitness. But it wouldn’t be until later in life that he discovered the importance of health and its relationship with his fitness journey. It was no longer about achieving a perfect workout, but instead about how his training could be enhanced by implementing principles of health and science. Today his training and health philosophy is focused on what Derek calls “Strength through Length,” a style that promotes developing strength and power in the furthest range of motion, allowing for full maximum output of these muscles creating true force.

As part of Florida-based ATG (Athletic Truth Group), Williams is able to share his wealth of knowledge with members of the first of its kind online gym membership program. While his style of training helps people achieve their fitness goals, many clients are often athletes seeking rehabilitation through his unconventional philosophy. Williams employs exercises that are completely unprecedented, and yet simple and therefore logical. The style of training allows people to move and exercise as nature intends, bringing the body back into balance and then incorporating weights and flexibility to generate power and force. In light of this, athletes and civilians alike have been able to utilize Williams’ style of training to not only overcome previous injury but to come back better than ever.

“Many old and young athletes come to us broken down and end up pain free and more athletic than ever,” Williams says.

And while he waits for the rest of the world to catch up with his groundbreaking style of training, Williams continues to break the barriers of fitness sharing all that he can, whether with his clientele at ATG or even through his own personal brand, Mr. 1nf1n1ty. Promoting strength, flexibility, and longevity, Williams remains determined to encourage fitness enthusiasts with his best-kept-secret-like training.
