If God were to fix everything, we'd be blameless & therefore careless.
Humans must take responsibility & face consequences. Life & death happen without our will. But our actions require our will. We must be mindful of responsibilities to ourselves, Humanity, & God. Life's a test

Me and my wife paid 2.6 million rupees in taxes after all our income was already taxed at source. Both our accounts have almost no balance now. There is no way to save for retirement now because whatever we try to save disappears in taxes. We are in a country where you are forced to rent because there is no concept of mortgage. And if you start a business it gets no support from a bank and gets taxed to death too.
You can borrow less for stupid things like the half a billion dollar loan we just took from ADB for coming up with a pension plan. There are hyper talented Pakistanis globally who could do that probono for you. You are essentially paying for knowledge orchestration and powerpoints. It's ridiculous.
Now imagine putting that same money to mapping and easing the journey of middle class aspirants. Mark it for ease of doing business. For SME credit. Or scaling business growth. For enabling reasonable mortgages and building an indigenous low cost housing value chain.
We may be bankrupt as a nation but we don't have to be bankrupt intellectually. You can move the pieces you have better on the board you inherited. Much better.

The whole policing and judicial process become redundant after one CCD enounceter! There's no point in running both the systems in parallel, that too from taxpayer's money.

Hang on a minute – something ain't right.
Since only 32% of British Jewish schoolchildren go to non-Jewish schools, and 60% (3 in 5) are supposedly facing "antisemitism" at school, that means at least 28% of Jewish schoolchildren are facing "antisemitism" at Jewish schools! /1

الحمدللہ میں خیبرپښتونخوا سے ہوں زندگی میں پہلی بار عوام خوشی کا اظہار کر رہے ہیں۔یہ سب قبضہ مافیا تھا اور ابھی ہے۔ یہ اتنے طاقتور تھے کوئی ان پر ہاتھ نہیں ڈال سکتا تھا اور حکومت کی سپورٹ تھی۔کمشن لیتے تھے۔ایسے بھاگے ہوئے یوتھیاں کی باتوں میں مت آؤں جو گرونڈ پر موجود ہی نہیں
Mid-term missiles about to fly, just like Monica missiles ~ 29 yrs, ago.
Death & destruction to deflect from US President's failures.
But let us hope Pakistan is able to neutralise this madness before it happens.
No reaction from the US yet on Pak-Iran meeting. The silence from all sides is eerie. In past negotiation cycles we have seen the journalist community share excitement (MOU agreement) and disappointment (JD Vance unsuccessful visit) right after such meetings. This time there is pin-drop silence. Nothing from @CaitlinDoornbos either who was very good with giving us a feeler for the mood after such negotiations.
They already are on the way, if history is any guide.
Ever heard of Abid Boxer? He was into fake encounters, & used his 'clout' to build a fortune.
He almost got my brother in 1993. My father was told he had only a few hrs left. Punjab's Governor intervened when SS refused.
Interesting feature of South India's development was the transition from stone age directly into Iron age.
The developments in North India, introduced from immediate West almost two millenia ago never penetrated South India.

یہ اتنے بے شرم لوگ ہیں کہ کیا کہیں۔ دوسرا بندہ مالدار تھا تو سی سی ڈی کی ہمت نہیں پڑی۔ الیکٹریشن کو اڑا دیا۔ ابھی وہ حنا جاوید کیس والے افسر زادے پروفیسر پر سی سی ڈی نہیں کافی، الٹا اس کو بری کروا کر ملازم پر کیس ڈال دیا۔ ہاں غریب ہو تو نیفے میں پستول چل جاتا ہے

Again -if true-this is what happens when a justice system is totally broken & the state would rather illegally kill the accused than fix the system & prosecute, convict & punish after following due process. It further erodes confidence in ROL. Extra judicial killings never right
There are two types of people:
Those who prioritize group interests over Humanity, & become reviled like Seinfeld.
And
Those who prioritize Humanity & become celebrated like Jason Constanza xitter.cf/StevenGWalker74/status…
Honest question:
From custodial deaths for rapes to now frauds, when will we start awarding custodial death penalty for mobile snatchings?
Islamabad's 'Lahorification' is well underway, with Peshawar in pursuit now.
My only question is this:
When will we start developing the lineup of jet engines to operate a spectrum of aircraft from drones to 6th gen combat aircraft?
This is the biggest obstacle & underpins technological advancements in airwarfare.
Türkiye’s Defence Minister Yasar Guler will travel to Doha for the signing of a defence industry cooperation deal involving Türkiye, Qatar, Pakistan and Indonesia, expected to take place on Wednesday

Have a read. This is a very important document in context of regional & global security cooperation.
Some articles need elaboration:
What type & quality of technology cooperation would be made? This is a very sensitive issue in nuclear domain.

NEW: Qatar and Pakistan have presented a compromise proposal to revive U.S.-Iran talks. Under the plan, Iran would receive profits from its $6 billion in frozen funds held in Qatari banks.
In return, Iran would allow a secret IAEA visit to its nuclear sites.
Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir reportedly carried the proposal to Tehran on Tuesday.
Sources say it has U.S. approval. Iran had reportedly responded positively to it earlier.
Only the interest on the frozen assets would be deposited into an Iranian account, not the principal.
The unannounced inspection would address a key U.S. demand on the nuclear file.
