Was having a conversation today with someone triggered a memory from a very long time ago but one that remains formative. At least I believe it left a deep impact on me and how I look at others. A memory that turned into a value. A thread.
If you're making jokes about Shehzada Dawood, stuck in the submarine - God only knows in what state - facing death and having to endure the pain of watching his 19 year old son endure the same then you have gangrene of the soul.
Maj Gen GD Bakhshi screaming into a microphone - of the constitution club - asking if he is in a whore house is probably one of my favourite things on the internet right now
Thank you so much
@ShahbazTaseer
for sharing your story.
#LostToTheWorld
is a tale of bravery, courage & determination. Your story is very motivational. Just started reading it, will recommend you guys to read it too.
I’d urge each and every country to stop aids to Pakistan and most of all my second most favoured cricketing nation, Australia. India fears that your dollars are not being used for right causes

Few unidentified people arrived at Karachi Bakery in Bengaluru's Indiranagar and demanded that the name of the bakery be changed. The people running the bakery covered the word 'Karachi' and displayed the India flag to pacify and diffuse the situation.
If, God forbid, such a missile originated from Pakistan his excellency would be plugging and writing reams upon reams at how the Pakistani military has gone rogue.
But since he's ambassador at large for the Modi regime we get this..
Ataullah Khan Esakhelvi will inshAllah recover from his illness soon.
But the moral decay Murtaza Solangi suffers from appears to be terminal. Thoughts and prayers.
Breaking: India provides irrefutable evidence that F 16s were used by Pakistan and we felled one. Time for Pak

Yar they attacked a cardiac hospital and ACTUALLY murdered paitents while no one did anything I AM LOSING MY SHIT HERE WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF COUNTRY IS THIS????
I read a tweet where a student at LUMS was sharing their economic distress at barely being able to manage fees and the absence of financial aid.
And ppl were replying with well why did you go to LUMS if you couldn't afford it?
Crisis of manners, grace and empathy.
A family of Indian short-range, missiles puts major Pakistani targets at risk.
Prahar can strike all 3 Pak service HQ and 4 of 9 corps HQ, each within 150 km of the border. So are two of PAF's 11 “deploying bases”, its joint staff and Strategic Plans Div
"Political families" were developed by the British to prolong their rule. After independence, they were cultivated by the establishment to prolong dictatorships.
Today, these political families rule Pakistan under the banner of PTI.
Good time to read this book by
@aslamkhwaja
and learn a thing or two about how not everything is "unprecedented" and "for the first time in our history".
I can guarantee that we will shortly find out that the Sri Lankan manager was killed because he had fired non performing workers or some of the factory workers had personal score to settle because they were scroungers.
Indian TV person: How excited are you at Indian PM Modi's visit to the US?
Indian person on drum: I dunno I'm just here as a musician- they called us here.
So good.
Ali Sadpara.
What a weathered, rugged, handsome face.
Eyes that stare down killer mountains and each line and sunburnt crease that carries it's own tale.
My father was on rather a long flight.
Landed back just a while ago - found out what happened - and called me.
First thing he said to me was: "Hope we've taken good care of the IAF pilot."
Know the difference between studio Guderians and real soldiers.
So Imran Khan is the new recruit to the Donald Trump school of abuse-foreign-heads-of-state Twitter diplomacy. What a fall for a man with claims being more “cultured” and cosmopolitan than the average Pak politician
Will say again: The stewardship of the country through the pandemic and the superb vaccination program alone - saving millions of lives and livelihoods - deserved reelection.
1347.
The black death has devastated Europe.
Millions are dead.
Man near death oozing pus: Help me. My wife and children are dead. My entire clan is dead. Help me.
Pakistani civilian supremacist: oh please! You think this is bad?
You should've seen Justinian's plague in 540.
Inauguration of Sufism & science & Technology research centre by First Lady Bushra bibi, is a unique blend of spirituality, science and Technology. It will not only encourage research in this field but also help elaborate interconnectivity in the respective disciplines
Have to acknowledge the grace of the Hazara elders for not asking Zulfi Bhukhari to leave immediately when he told them what good will it do for the PM to visit them.
Atif Mian has ended one of his recent threads that led to his OpEd with a Pakistan Zindabad.
It leaves me absolutely floored that someone so hated can manage that kind of loyalty to his soil. To us.
Pretty sure most people, myself included, would not be able to manage it.
You'd think that seeing their own sister Aseefa helped by 1122 after an accident - a service they deny the citizens of Sindh simply because they can - would humble them at least for a few days but no.
No humility. No shame.
😂 When all you have to show after being an incompetent Puppet responsible for over 20 million falling into poverty is the construction of your own private hospital - the same hospital people thought they donated to but the money mysteriously ended up in your election fund? 🤡
Someone who spends 30 years here. Works here. Raises children here. Earns here. Spends here. Is a Pakistani.
As always our most severe cruelties are reserved for our own selves.
I was interviewing his father who spent three decades in Karachi Pakistan, during it he suddenly started crying, seeing his father's condition his son also couldn't resist to stop his tears.
Sharing it for those who are saying the eviction of Afghan refugees isn’t forcible.
Enough with the lectures. The filthy language Maryam Nawaz's husband uses to target poor women from his constituency is 10x worse than what Imran khan said. These are just 2 clips from last 30 days. but no one talks about these women as they aren't powerful. 1/3
Zelensky warns Russia will storm Kyiv tonight in “vile, cruel and inhuman” fashion.
“We have to persevere tonight. The fate of Ukraine is being decided right now. The night will be hard, very hard, but there will be a morning,
Man this Azhar Mashwani abduction is unconscionable.
Is there any semblance of law remaining under this rogue PDM government?
And if there isn't (there really isn't) let's wrap up the entire country's law enforcement and judicial infrastructure and be done with it.
Barkha here wants you to not think about the immense and total war that Pakistan fought against those who tried to kill Malala and thousands like her.
We fought, at great cost, and continue to fight our demons.
India simply elected theirs.
Disappointing to see
@Malala
wade into cliched Pakistan state narrative about
#Kashmir
when the hard truth is that she can never even return to her own country because she was shot for the rights of girls to go to school.
Moral leadership.
This man knows the possible risk of taking such a clear position but has done so regardless.
This is loyalty to faith and to his congregation.
The madness can be pushed back.
Not today or tomorrow. Or a year from now. But it can be.
We've just seen how.
Absolutely pathetic by
@blackcaps
- Would have been better not to come instead of this embarrassing withdrawal despite state level assurances and security.
Really poor.
Can only marvel at the moral depravity of people who think that people who party while the country flounders are fit for leadership.
Just can't get my head around why someone would think it's ok?
Bad upbringing? Or not raised on Halal ka paisa? Where exactly is the disconnect?
Imran Unimportant Khan cannot copy this. Those who cannot even keep the family together, how can you expect from them to keep the whole country together?
Have been looking at the photo and just marveling at it.
40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth.
500 million trillion km away.
The light that allowed us to capture this image has almost traversed all of creation itself to reach us. SubhanAllah.
Didn't play well. Lost. Badly. Happens.
But regardless of how this tournament ends
@TheRealPCB
should formally state that we will never play at this stadium again. Period.
Cannot let our players be subject to such vile and vulgar abuse ever again.
This Ehsanullah Ehsan story is devastating.
That the army - which paraded him in front of us after he negotiated his surrender - has not put out an official denial yet is damning.
*If* the escape story is true then it's a level of malignancy incompetence that is unforgivable.
Another change in the story.
From crossing over LoC - physically reaching Balakot, killing 300+ peole, then not knowing how many were killed and spending 21 minutes in Pakistani airspace to not crossing LoC at all.
Tomorrow will bring another version depending on what BJP wants
Major General GD Bakhshi (r) goes the full monty.
Best part is always the signature vein popping GD Bakshi build up - you can tell whats coming.
*Profanity Warning*
This is awful, awful BBC… just ignorant journalism and arrogant anchoring..Christine Fair has an oft state argument: in Afghanistan, Pakistan is the arsonist who pretends to be the fire brigade. Why invite her if you’re afraid of her saying it? Awful..
One of Holland's leading newspapers criticizes the love Moroccan soccer players showed their mothers. The title of the article: “Stop glorifying mothers”. Liberal-secularism is becoming a danger. It recognizes only individualism and materialism…
#Islam
They're visiting so will see and meet all sorts.
But this head of the NDS was actively controlling TTP assets to kill Pakistanis on a mass scale.
Ali Wazir has lost family to the same.
But wants Isb/Lhr bombed. Wants to kill Pak soldiers & Punjabis. But all smiles here? How?
Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir met with former head of NDS Amrullah saleh. Our two honourable MNAs are exchanging pleasantries with the worst enemy of Pakistan.
Fawad Chaudhry's graceless trolling aside it is unbelievably rich to call us obsessed when it's 24/7 Pakistan Pakistan Pakistan on Indian TV news and every second word out of every Indian politician's mouth is Pakistan.
Someone's obsessed. Hint: it's not us.
Dear folks who are reacting to a senior Pakistan Minister’s tasteless comments on ISRO. Please don’t respond to him. He’s behaving like a troll. Poor man stayed up all night to watch the moon mission. Their India obsession continues. We don’t have to obsess in return
"We weren't Mughals. We were Indians"
Not a fan of how Pak studies was taught during my day but don't recall it telling us "we are mughals".
But nice job parroting RSS talking points.
Buffoon.
Stop the fetish. You were not Arab. You were not Turks. Your great grandfather wasn't Ertugrul.
Pakistan Studies is a lie. We weren't Mughals. We were Indians, Gujratis, Biharis, Pashtoon, Baloch, Sindhi, Punjabi, Hazara, Balti, Kashmiri,Saraiki......
Be proud of who you are.
My press statement today on PTI's non-performance in 20days of power, it's lack of decision-making, misgovernance & preoccupation with symbolic but meaningless actions.
Yes Mir Sb action was taken as soon as I learnt about this horrible & painful incident. Police arrested people & registered an FIR.Have learnt that both sides have compromised.While the police is still doing its work, proper medical treatment is being provided to the poor animal.
Sexual violence is an out and out social emergency in this society.
If its not tackled like a war it is going to explode like an IED on literally every corner. And it is EXCLUSIVELY a product of impunity. NOT what any woman wears.
I have yet not met a Pakistani who can logically counter my arguments on Twitter. No logic. No facts. No intelligence. Just bad grammar & terrible schooling.
@ImranKhanPTI
before you declare a financial emergency in your country, please declare an education emergency.
