Ramadan Mubarak 2022 06.04.2022

The meaning of Ramadan, detoxification, rehab, family,...are we actually observing Ramadan the way it should be observed and following the process and steps or have we forgotten the real purpose?

On Schools and Books and Their Roles Today 30.03.2022

Have our schools maintained their role as learning institutes? Parents, schools, law and order institutions and the government were created to be able to make a safe environment for people to thrive, to protect children and to maintain an orderly environment that helps everyone develop, progress and grow with each other. Now none of them are playing/fulfilling their role in society as a result our...

On Businesses 26.03.2022

Just summarizing on collapse of businesses during COVID, and generally how and why the new generation prefers to stake out on their own rather than inherit family businesses. Balancing the old with new rules, establishing and maintaining relationships with clients. Service industries low quality services and products for high rates: all the problems with businesses today. LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

Why No Etiquette? 22.03.2022

Language: Urdu Naked thoughts on our people and our society that talks a lot about our culture but lacks any mannerisms that culture would put first. The very basic manner of social boundaries and of doing your own stuff, of borrowing stuff and how to return them, all that is missing from our people. What manners? What culture? Parents seem to think getting good grades to make money is more import...

How do you Not Know 19.03.2022

As promised, about Putin, USA and the hypocrisy of the Western World re the war. A thought on history, facts and myths. An analysis on many little facts and the double standards. (Enjoy the calm bg that I made sure didn't get cancelled. No noise cancellation baby!)

USC CORP PAKISTAN Govt corruption or Incompetence? ONGOING DRAMA 08.03.2022

NOTE: It seems the noise cancellation tends to vanish some of my words in its effective display of cancelling bg noise, So I apologise for the sudden fading of words like on and get and two etc So, yes, that isn't a vocab or grammatical mistake here, but the noise cancellation at work. This episode is on the way the government bodies work in my country and probably in all of yours'. They n...

Funny S&@t People Throw at you Pt I 10.02.2022

The weird random stuff people just say to others today when one is trying to live life.

Disease or Just Rotten? 10.02.2022

We have started condoning bad behaviour, black sheep, rotten personalities, weak and deeply rotten characters as "disease": drug abuse: disease, diva queen: "disease", psychopathy "disease", selfish pricks "disease"....we need to call a spade a spade. We know that manners, personalities, characters can be built, we know that values are taught, so why are we not teac...

The NADRA Affair Conclusion 03.02.2022

Finally got a resolution to my NADRA problem and got yet another proof of Allied Bank Ltd.'s dishonest practices as a bank. You know the saying one can never win from an unemployed person? It is true...self-employed people are like unemployed people today as we have a lot of time to fight with any injustice: it is our time, so we can put it to any use! Ha!!!!

Exploitation of Family Values and Family in our Society Pt II 18.01.2022

Divorce, difference in upbringing, mental level, the big flaw in the regressive upbringing of our boys, education, the main reason behind marriage, all that and more that lead to problematic families and ultimately a problematic society...we have overrated marriage and sex and forgotten to teach them what marriage really means and what making a family means. How we have just changed who we label b...

A few questions and thoughts on the Murree Tragedy that just took place and is still ongoing of tourists trapped in Murree on the roads due to the heavy snow storm that took place two days ago.

THE NADRA AFFAIR FOLLOW UP 07.01.2022

Just after publishing my latest episode, I launched a complaint against NADRA for the 2nd time at the PM office (citizens portal) and so got a call from the NADRA isl office wherein as usual they were trying to evade responsibility....so in 3 successive calls of 10 min each I had to give them a shut up call everytime they tried to make sorry assed excuses regarding the whole scenario

THE NADRA AFFAIR PT2 07.01.2022

LANGUAGE: English and Urdu Starts off with an update on the NADRA refund that was owed me....and moves on to me venting as both my bank ABL and NADRA not only fail to answer me as to the whereabouts of my refund but then begin avoiding my calls. How can we expect anyone to follow the law when the government itself resorts to unlawful and dishonest means.

The NADRA AFFAIR 23.12.2021

The latest experience getting a renewal of my ID card, which btw I still have not got.

Citizens Portal: Digitally screwing with Citizens Pt IV (the Lesco Affair) 29.11.2021

A message and a warning to the government and their failure to curb corruption, while being directly involved in state corruption to the extent that they are harrassing their public by making them pay bills for non existent meters and units. The government has been making the citizens pay bills on net metered connections despite the fact that the government owes them credits worth of thousands in...

How we make others feel 10.11.2021

We try to universalise feelings, sadness and happiness. We know that happiness and hardships are subjective: What is painful to one may not distress another. Mental distress is irreparable. How we make others feel is more than important than we like to acknowledge. We intentionally ignore it because we are all guilty of it.

Citizens Portal: Digitally screwing with citizens Pt III 08.11.2021

I just got a new development regarding my complaint against my bank, Allied Bank Ltd, Pakistan, for breach of information and involvement in scam leading to the loss of my money: Banking Mohtasib closed the case again citing the bank to be clean and clear of all responsibility and blaming me, despite the proofs that I have submitted showing that my information was breached. I have met up with anot...

Citizens Portal: Digitally Screwing with Citizens Pt II 03.11.2021

During my recording of Pt I my parents were at the LESCO office...so part II will tell you what happened there and as I get more development on the rest of my complaints I shall bring out more parts. The government's incompetence, the state making us pay instead of the people they have failed to collect taxes from or failed to collect bills from...all is being highlighted. This is abuse of aut...

Citizens Portal: Digitally screwing the citizens Pt I 03.11.2021

My experiences with the Pakistan citizens portal: a portal created by the PM to address grievances of the public. I had lodged 8 total complaints till date. Only one was resolved. Part II will be shared when I get some developments.

How the government law enforcement agencies, banks and politicians deal with victims of cyber crime and other crimes 30.09.2021

My own experience as a cyber crime victim....it has been 4 months and they actually closed the case without any resolution....i did all the legwork, i traced the scammer, i recovered the partial money....they did nothing but close the case because they were getting transferred, the bank ABL went scott free even after evidence that they breached my information, the scammers were not caught, and the...

Lack of manner equals lack of virtues, moral values and degradation of society 08.09.2021

The narrative of a single modern woman observing the current trends of society, the roles (or lack thereof) of modern parents, the lack of discipline, of moral values and virtues...simply because there is no more stress or study given to manners and etiquette. Society is rapidly regressing: the next generation will be filled with narcissists who think the world revolves around them: selfishness an...

Answer to those who indulge in victim-bashing on various crimes 04.08.2021

MAIN LANGUAGE: URDU A rant on society's hypocrisy as it chooses to justify various crimes by bringing in gender or age and ultimately blaming the victim. As i have always said: our society likes victims to remain victims, people do not like victims to fight back: laws are quick to judge victims who fight for their rights when these same laws are never there to give them justice. Our society al...
