Business of Terrorism
Burkina Faso tops the Global Terrorism Index, with Pakistan following closely in second place. Congratulations . A difference of just 0.207 between the two countries. A little more consistency, and we could claim the top spot. Who will you blame? Sorry. Wrong words. Let me rephrase. Who deserves the credit? The Prime Minister? The Chief…

Trash Can
In the end, you are all trash cans for others. Dumpsters. If you try not to be, you fail. You don’t meet expectations. You are selfish. So, you are. The closest ones dump more. Some only dump and dump until you are unable to recycle the consistent flow. You stink then. And then, the obvious…

Random Numbness: Oscars 2025
There’s one sure-shot recipe for an Oscar nomination and subsequent award: Holocaust. Even if the movie is as dull as “A Real Pain”. Who would have thought Kieran Culkin would win an Oscar for this? Follow the recipe. Like Adrien Brody. Did twice. Doesn’t matter if you are a pianist or an architect. You can…

Plea
Step aside angel! I was just torn apart rib by rib by a mob and now I don’t intend to wait in a queue. I am here and I can’t go back so please let me talk at this heavenly door I wish I wouldn’t have seen. No, not for paradise. I don’t want that.…

Another Week of Void.
Just another week of fight. Then finances will be all right. For one week at least. Another two weeks to make a complete circle of life. Before halting into another void. The void. Where you exist and function and feel nothing. But you are not entirely numb either. The void in itself isn’t bad. Afterwards,…

£180 million
Even if you play devil’s advocate and try to defend it with all the ifs and buts and legal jargons, you know that was corruption. A massive one. With clear benefits for the people in the government of that time i.e. PTI. Otherwise, you don’t present an ex-agenda item in a closed envelope to be…

Scar. Not Mufasa.
Sarabi: His [Scar] destiny was to save you [Mufasa]. How convenient when you are destining to become his wife? Meanwhile, Scar knew his destiny was stolen. It felt entirely different than was being shown on the screen. The movie “Mufasa” has different story. We always disliked Scar – or Taka, his real name. Without knowing…

Entering 2025.
Let me re-write what I have been writing for the last 3 years on 31st December. Khalid Hosseini writes in ‘And the Mountains Echoed’, “Should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, ah, I wish I was not good to…

Lahore – A whore
Lahore has its charm. Winter arrives at night and leaves at noon. Long nights with stars and planets above with a beautiful metropolitan below. Wide roads. Parks and trees – depending on where you wander or live; but yes. Smog came and disrupted the air we breathe. Then it went away. Every day getting better…

Sex Scandals & Leaked Videos
Even your husband shouldn’t be allowed to picture / record you during intimate moments. This is not just red line but far from red line. This is the first thing you must know about yourself and your self-respect. But as majority is comprised of idiots, so they do. They record such moments as just another…
