We discuss anything affecting young Pakistanis (and South Asians as a whole) across the globe, and generally chit-chat about brown people things!

My family's phone bill with @Verizon went over $500 this month, and the Verizon agent tells me he has "no obligation" to fix it. Absolutely disgusted in this customer service. Seriously thinking of switching to @ATT ! #verizon #badcustomerservice #verizonwireless @VerizonSuport

@ShabanaMir1 Terrorism: "The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."(Oxford). It fits like a glove.

[Pakcord @pakcord]

@ShabanaMir1 One word that is often missing from these types of events is 'terrorism'. No, most of them did not have weapons, but the same word was being used to describe the BLM movement, as it often does for anything remotely Muslim. The people inside the building were indeed terrorized.

"When I was young, I used to think of feminism as like - 'ye to kafir log karte hain, hamari cheez nahi hai' - and I knew feminists (in Pakistan)! A lot of people think of feminism as meaning 'no Islam', or they are complete opposites...."

A lot of recent buzz on #Pakistani twitter about this #noorjahan "girl kiss" scene. Some have applauded it, others have condemned it, and others say this scene is simply meant to be platonic, not romantic. What are your thoughts? https://t.co/tLJW9EXctr

In our latest episode, let's talk about resilience - the ability to recover quickly from difficulty, a much needed trait for our youth today. We discuss the most common challenges faced by Pakistani youngsters. A very thought provoking discussion! https://t.co/5XYaURNnwS

@_thenewsrun Definitely the high birth rates and its correlation with poverty, is rarely discussed.

One of our most sensational episodes yet (and in video form!) - we discuss the popular meme trend that is going viral all over the world, not just in Pakistani spheres. We talk to one of the students who was there at this event. https://t.co/RIF1iwTeIs https://t.co/8zfIFtsC8s

I was recently a guest on @pakcord, a podcast focused on the young, global Pakistani community! We talked about my digital news startup @_thenewsrun, an email newsletter that provides the smartest breakdown of news from Pakistan. (1/2)

Those living in Pakistan might relate : ever gotten those weird interview questions like "are you married", "where is your family from"? What other strange questions have you been asked?
