The books these Instagram bloggers "read" for fancy photographs vs the books they could actually "read"...Atleast decolonize the drama pls..

Wondering about entering a library, if this all virus madness subsides, can't bring my head round the idea of sanitizers & masks in it!

Is the time of dust ridden book shelves of the neglected end rows over!

Will we touch them the same, books everyone else could touch!

The silence and the silencing of people begins with the dominating enforcement of linguistic conventions.

کسی کی قابل اعتراض تصاویر،ویڈیوزیاانکاایڈٹ کر کے قابل اعتراض بنانااورانکوکسی تیسرےشخص کوبھیجنا یا سوشل میڈیا پر پبلش کرنا یا ایسے مواد کے زریعے کسی کو بلیک میل کرنا،سائبر کرائم ایکٹ کےسیکشن 21 میں آتا ہے جسکی سزا 5 سال قید اور 50 لاکھ روپے جرمانہ ہے اور یہ ناقابل ضمانت جرم ہے۔

بلیک میلنگ ایک ایسی دلدل ہے کہ اس سے باہر نکلنا تقریبا ناممکن ہوتا ہے۔
خواتین بلیک میل ہونے کی بجائے سائبر کرائم ونگ سے رابطہ کریں انشاءاللہ وہ نارمل زندگی جئیں گی۔ بلیک میلرز ناسور ہیں جنکا انجام جیل اور بدنامی کی زندگی ہے۔

So #LUMSFeeHike to 482K is mind boggling but the old 380K doesn't sound hunky dory either. What on earth is the point of paying these 'odd' numbers for college only if not constructing a privilege divide- what a preposterously engineered hoax!

Those stuck in colonial narratives about Aurangzeb Alamgir must listen to @AudreyTruschke lecture to extricate themselves from the "I-know" syndrome.

[Rida Shahid Rao @rida077]

Our society is obsessed with certain professions while demeaning others (like teaching). It is our high etiquettes (akhlaq), high values and overall life's mission that make us worthy of love & respect, not our professions not our degrees.

There is a whole life to be lived when the shadi khana is distributed among the rishtedaar & everyone goes home.
Most of us grow up hearing nothing about that.
When ironically it's not the wedding dress but details on the nikahnama that deserve our full attention.

Published a little something for my & every #Classof2020, may we stay strong when all we just wanted was to say a better goodbye!

The daemon is always within.
The goodness is always within.
The battle too, is always within.
And so is the triumph of one over the other.
Which one over which one?
The choice is also, somehow always within.

@rida077 بابا جی بلھے شاہ کی بات بھی ملحوظ خاطر رہے۔:

نیچاں دی اشنائی کولوں فیض کسے نہ پایا
ککر تے انگور چڑھایا ہر گچھا زخمایا

[Rida Shahid Rao @rida077]

@balaach I strongly agree with this as well

[Rida Shahid Rao @rida077]

Try to have a doubt of seeing goodness in somone who is giving you worst. It could be your faith in people that change their heart and yours as well... For good of course.

Someone once told me that you don't just find a mentor, rather you seek one with the influence of your own conscious choices, will, conscience, inclinations and thought process. And this is so true.
