As I often say: It takes a special kind of idiot to be a 'Pakistani football' fan.

Well, 20 years on, we still going at it.

https://t.co/RTpn7MGA4Q turned 20 this month. 20 years of following anything & everything related to Pakistani football as an online platform by a small team of enthusiasts. How's the experience been, you ask?

Enjoy raw, unadulterated late capitalism, laced with police/surveillance state antics, that punishes the vast majority stuck in the system and rewards a select few at the very top. Just hope the manufactured outrage machine completely chokes on itself and gets scrapped. Good bye.

The way the 2026 FIFA World Cup is being handled by the governing body, the main host nation, and the govts at play is an exercise of why the whole "human rights" thing is a publicity stunt for the Global North that, on its true merits, is performative, selective, and pathetic.

Remember when FIFA took away an U20 World Cup from Indonesia for saying they won't allow Israel.

Half of Iran's bench staff haven't been given visas and players might get detained for hours upon arrival.

Most of the outrage was just for Qatar it seems.

Trust me, 2026 will be a million times worse than 2022. It will be the exact opposite of 'sportswashing' because the govts/orgs in question genuinely dont give a shit and have no need to pretend either. Will be far worse. Maybe at part with Argentina 1978 or, gasps, Berlin 1936

NFAK performed at a mehfil in UAE in late 70s. Raj Kapoor was there and was amazed.

He got NFAK to sing at Rishi's wedding in 1980. Everyone in Bollywood was there. None knew about NFAK before. But that one performance stunned everyone!

NFAK career really took off from there

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan once gave an interview that had live calls by the end

Someone phoned to ask, “Throughout the interview, you haven’t mentioned Imran Khan who actually introduced you…”

NFAK gets visibly angry over the audacity but holds his patience

@MarkCox3464 @FootballPak the only 'data' these dinosaurs care about is the brainrot from the multiple local football WhatsApp groups they are part of

Recently Dr Azra Raza held a beautiful evening with Sharmila Tagore at Azra Mahal, New York.

Tahira Syed Sahiba was there along with Manoj Bajpai, Rahul Chittela and others.

This is a small segment from the mehfil where Tahira Syed sang few verses from Abhi to mein jawan hun at the request of the host.

Dr Azra Raza is an oncologist, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Center at Columbia University in NY.

Urdu poetry is her passion. She is almost like a present day Zia Mohiuddin when it comes to narrating the classic Urdu poetry 🌺

Sharing some beautiful moments 🌹@AzraRazaMD @BajpayeeManoj @UrduVirsa @Rekhta @Sharmila_Tagore

Carlin told Charlie Rose he'd stopped caring about humanity. Not as a pose — as a genuine philosophical position he'd arrived at after watching every movement he'd ever believed in fail.

@izeeshaan3 @NoFIFAFut Still cant believe CONIFA ended up accepting a 'Pakistan FA' thanks to the GSV tola. Publicity stunts, vibes, and multiple shell companies in last 6 years.

@awami_rational @maryammjamali Sorry my mistake. The wildest Urdu dialect is Deccani from Hyderabad. Almost its own language.
