The boyfriend of a TikToker attempted to kidnap her and it became the top story of the country, sparking massive outrage. Yet the seventh PTI prisoner has died in jail, and there’s no outrage. A corrupt, hypocritical and shameless nation.
Dutch politician Esther Ouwehand was asked to remove the shirt in the first pic, so she came back wearing another one with watermelon seeds 😂😍
Shoutout to her tailor 👏👏
ابھی زندہ ہوں لیکن سوچتا رہتا ہوں خلوت میں
کہ اب تک کس تمنا کے سہارے جی لیا میں نے
انہیں اپنا نہیں سکتا، مگر اتنا بھی کیا کم ہے
کہ کچھ مدت حسیں خوابوں میں کھو کر جی لیا میں نے
بس اب تو دامنِ دل چھوڑ دو بے کار امیدو!
بہت دکھ سہہ لیے میں نے بہت دن جی لیا میں نے

How to Get Professors to Call You for a PhD Interview (Even If You Have No Publications Yet)
Let me say this clearly:
Professors don’t just look for perfect students. They look for contributors.
If you’ve ever sent out cold emails and got no response, you’re not alone.
But here’s the truth: most emails get ignored because they sound like everyone else.
To get a yes, you need to show:
“I’ve read your work, I understand your vision, and I can add value.”
So, how do you do that?
Here’s what changed everything for me (and my mentees who got interviews at Stanford, ETH Zurich, and Cambridge):
1. Don’t Just Praise—Engage
Instead of saying “I love your paper,” try:
“I found your 2022 paper on [Topic] deeply insightful. I’m particularly drawn to your use of [Method/Framework], and I’ve been exploring how it could apply to [Your Research Interest].”
Show them you think deeply. Professors love thinkers.
2. Craft a Research Teaser, Not a Biography
In 2-3 lines, outline the problem you care about solving and how it overlaps with their lab’s work.
Something like:
“I’m investigating how [Problem] affects [Outcome] in [Context]. I believe your work on [Related Area] could help ground this study in a more robust methodology.”
That’s the kind of curiosity that turns into collaboration.
3. Don’t Wait to Be ‘Fully Ready’
Most PhD students start with potential, not perfection.
No papers? No problem.
Have you written a strong thesis? Taken a specialized course? Attended a workshop? Started your own small-scale study?
That’s valuable. Tell them.
4. Always End with a Soft Call to Action
Instead of “Please give me an interview,” say:
“If you’re open to it, I’d be honored to speak briefly about your current projects and whether I might contribute.”
It’s humble. It’s professional. And it works.
5. Follow Up With Kindness, Not Desperation
If they don’t reply in 10 days, send a gentle nudge.
Professors are human. Your kindness can make you unforgettable.
Final Words
You’re not just applying to a lab.
You’re inviting someone to believe in your mind, your ideas, your hunger to learn.
That’s powerful.
And when your email resonates, professors reply.
When your vision aligns, they call.
When your passion shines, they invest in you.
You don’t need a publication to prove your worth.
You need a voice that’s informed, focused, and fearless.
Make that voice heard.
