لاہ ہنیرا جہل بُرے دا ،چانن لا عقل دا. لائل پور پنجابی سلیکھ میلے تے رلت دا سدا
ਲਾਹ ਹਨੇਰਾ ਜਹਿਲ ਬੁਰੇ ਦਾ ,ਚਾਨਣ ਲਾ ਅਕਲ ਦਾ
ਲਾਇਲਪੁਰ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸੁਲੇਖ ਮੇਲੇ ਤੇ ਰਲਤ ਦਾ ਸੱਦਾ

Hi tweeps.

Would any of you like to volunteer for @TCFPak and send more kids in Pakistan to school or mentor them?

There are 2 programs starting immediately (mentoring one requires 6 Saturday mornings on-campus, and the fundraising one is 3 hrs per week remote).

Please RT.

TCF has published 90 enchanting Urdu storybooks, where every page reveals meaningful tales for children!

"Namkeen | Salty" is a story highlighting the importance of hard work and helping at home.

Tonight, our hearts are in Bethlehem, where the Prince of Peace is once more rejected by the futile logic of war, by the clash of arms that even today prevents him from finding room in the world. #Christmas

@naeem_zafar @PAHCHAAN_2005 @APPNA Wonderful work!

[Marriam Musa @MusaMarriam]

@xee_que Please educate yourself. There ARE ways around it. Especially when they are war refugees.
Refugee rights and legalization is an entire discipline so please avoid passing statements like these.
And how you deport if you do also matters which was inhumane and tragic.

Gaza is under intense bombing.

Telecommunications have been cut.

We can't get through to our family who have been trapped in this war zone for almost 3 weeks.

We can only pray they survive the night.

How many more children have to die before the world says enough?

@ApkaUmar For a few years..

We're often afraid to even take what's ours. More power to all the women fighting battles for their rights - big or small.
And cherry on top, instead of apologizing for being in my space, he gave me his stellar advice (annoying and irrelevant) on what I should do instead. (4/4)

On a flight today, I was seated next to a middle aged man who was leaning towards my seat and while resting on his seat's arm rest, most of his arm was in my space. I noticed I was scooting gradually and tilting away uncomfortably for a while. But if I moved a little (1/4)

[Marriam Musa @MusaMarriam]

- even to turn the page of the book I was reading, I had to mindfully evade brushing against his arm.

The situation was very simple. He was in my space. And I believe I'm a strong independent woman who doesn't fear speaking her mind, yet (2/4)

[Marriam Musa @MusaMarriam]

I was so uncomfortable asking him to move, stay in his own space, and reclaim my own. And even after I asked politely and he moved, I felt guilty about the possibility of making him uncomfortable. Such micro struggles remind me of much bigger issues that women face. (3/4)

#ZindagiTamasha by @KhoosatFilms is a gem. Like all art, we decide what it means to us. So many beautiful messages. What stood out for me the most was Arif Hassan's exceptional performance! So subtle yet so powerful. 👏
Deserves a watch (and a contribution).

@gulraizkhan @TransPeshawar While you're there and want something other than their local traditional cuisine, go to bread chef cafe. And kaldi's!

@NJLahori You don't like something, you don't.. you're free to hold your opinion. But please don't take such moral high grounds after saying things like "intelligent adults will find it boring" which I'm sure you're intelligent enough to understand is a condescending comment.

[Marriam Musa @MusaMarriam]

Been reading all kinds of things about #Barbie    and without giving any spoilers, I want to share my two cents:
- It's satire - please don't comment on it if you don't get the genre.
- It is NOT anti-men. It's anti patriarchy
- The ban in Punjab is absurd and illogical.

@AroojWDar Oh it's one thing that doesn't cease to disappoint. 7th month of living in the city and 700 stories of disappointment lol

[Marriam Musa @MusaMarriam]

I'm on a bus right now on the motorway and a child is yelling "mama shark, mama shark!!!" enthusiastically, looking out of the window into the fields.
I wanna have what he's having.
