Today on 17 August 1947, Governor General Mohammed Ali Jinnah prayed at a Church with the Christians of Karachi to show that Pakistan was a secular state of Muslims.

What is wrong with you, @PTAofficialpk ?!!! You ask where to send the OTP FOR A COMPLAINT ABOUT A SIM and then send the OTP to that sim instead of the email as your form asked. 🤦🏻♂️.

I recently found myself sitting at Istanbul airport looking around. And I am no fan of Mustafa Kemal Pasha. But I had to reach out to @theRealYLH and say “So this was the kind of thing Mr Jinnah had in mind, yeah?”.

I often disagree with @MDUmairKh nowadays but this. So much this. 🇵🇰❤️. As I often say about Karachi: loving our home is a complex kinda love—a Kafka meets Fatima Suraiya Bajiya kinda love. My country right or wrong—when right, to be kept right; when wrong to be set right.

I was brought up eating with a fork & spoon in Toronto. When Farid Ayaz & Abu Muhammad came here, I bought them the best Montreal biryani (from a Tamil Muslim caterer in Brossard), & they taught me how to eat properly with my fingers & thumb. It is an art. And it tastes better.

No @prada - these aren’t “leather sandals” - this is a kolapuri. You do not get look down upon our traditions, only to repackage them, and sell them as your own.
