LOL. Remote workers will just start opening bank accounts outside Pakistan and stop bringing money into local banks altogether. People can easily survive here using virtual cards without transferring funds locally. Clown behavior honestly.

[True Promise - الوعد الصادق ✪🇮🇷 @IRTruePromise]

Regarding the meetings held in Pakistan :

"The meetings that Pakistan holds with neighboring countries are within a framework they themselves have designed, and we have not participated in this framework. It is obvious that if regional and neighboring countries are concerned about peace and security, this is commendable. However, the logical demand of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that any country or party addressing the issue of war in the region should pay attention to which side started this war. It is necessary for perspectives to be realistic and fair, and not to expect restraint from only one side."

Imran Khan and Faiz Ahmed Faiz: same torture playlist, different decade.

Solitary confinement, the military's favourite Guantanamo Bay like treatment since 1951.

Back then, Faiz Sahib got dragged into the Rawalpindi Conspiracy Case because General Akbar Khan monologue'd for 10 straight hours about his brilliant coup idea. Everyone politely said "nahin ji, thank you," and left.

But the generals? They still arrested Faiz and company, convinced Liaquat Ali Khan that justice looks best behind bars, bullied the assembly into passing the special tribunal act faster than you can say "due process," and threw Faiz into solitary confinement in Sahiwal for three months.

When they finally shifted him to Hyderabad jail, the man was beaming. Why? He said that "After three months, it's nice to see human faces again." Legendary. Nothing stuck in trial, released in 1954. Sajjad Zaheer was ordered to leave Pakistan and a lifetime visa to India was his parting gift.

Now fast-forward to Prisoner #804, almost six months deep in solitary (per the UN's polite torture memo). Same playbook, zero creativity. The more they squeeze, the more popular he gets. Nukes would be useless against him. Batons? Counterproductive. Pressure? Just free PR for us. This guy bends adversity into rocket fuel. The harder they try to bury him, the higher his approval rating climbs. It's almost comical, like trying to drown a fish.

And the cover-ups? Vintage Pakistani masala. Liaquat assassinated in 1951, assassin instantly silenced (classic "no loose ends" move). Crime scene hosed down faster than Benazir's, then 26 Nov Islamabad, then TLP murders. Rinse, repeat, deny.

Quaid-e-Azam spotted these termites way back in '48 and in his speech to Military officers in Quetta said that “during my talks with one or two very high-ranking officers in the morning I discovered that they did not know the implications of the oath taken by the troops, and told the officers straight: “You are servants of the people and have nothing to do with the business of the state and politics which is the domain of civilians.”

But hey, who reads stone etchings when you can worship the Jinnah house instead? A shrine created on 9th May.

It's never the army which remains ours as it sacrifices. It's the top brass derailing the train, generation after generation: Ayub, Yahya, Zia, Musharraf, and now FM Asim Munir and his coterie fan club ignoring every sane voice (including mine) screaming "Negotiate, for God's sake, before the wheels completely fall off."

We civilians? We've been the ultimate enablers by saving their repute — Bhutto burying Hamoodur Rahman, Qadeer Khan taking bullets for others.

Enough is enough.

As Faiz Sahib wrote from that very Hyderabad cell in 1952, basically laughing in their faces:
اب ٹوٹ گریں گی زنجیریں، اب زندانوں کی خیر نہیں
جو دریا جھوم کے اٹھے ہیں، تنکوں سے نہ ٹالے جائیں گے

کٹتے بھی چلو، بڑھتے بھی چلو، بازو بھی بہت ہیں سر بھی بہت
چلتے بھی چلو کہ اب ڈیرے منزل ہی پہ ڈالے جائیں گے

اے ظلم کے ماتو لب کھولو، چپ رہنے والو چپ کب تک
کچھ حشر تو ان سے اٹھے گا، کچھ دور تو نالے جائیں گے

موجودہ غاصبوں آپکے لیئے بھی ۔۔۔ اب چلتے بنو اور عمران خان کو راستہ دو۔۔۔

Engineer Mirza appears to possess an exceptional sense of smell. From afar, he identified what’s being cooked for Imran Khan, dish, oil even the menu details. Such olfactory precision is rare among humans, nature usually reserves it for a very different category of loyal beings

A good API doesn’t just return data.
It handles rate-limiting, caching, auth, validation, logging, versioning, and graceful failure.
If you only return JSON then you're not building an API, you're just exposing a database.
