This is baby Amaar’s medical note from 3 months ago. It says “acute grief attack” by a neurologist, and he continued to get from bad to worse because there was no respite.
Maybe it was his time, that’s our eeman surely, but the trigger was grief- and that kills me. We are all parents, this pain is all consuming- may no one outlive their own children, may no child have to carry weight beyond their years- Allah have mercy 🙏
They say small coffins are the heaviest. They also say, with power comes responsibility.

And it was true. While his son was dying alone and uncared for, the father was under Army custody. He had every right to bail that was denied to him unfairly, he should have been there to care for his son.
They took the father away and threw the child to the wolves who kept raiding his house. In the end, the father couldnt even bury the child. They did that. My Army did that.
There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of this. Thre is no qoumi tarana loud enough that will drown out this child cries for help.
May he haunt you forever.
Imran Khan is not your saviour. Nawaz Sharif is not your saviour. Asif Ali Zardari is not your saviour. Their politics runs through the elite corridors, and is a competition on who will be selected next.
Please do not sacrifice your life, or your future, or resort to violence.🧵
As we celebrate Women's Equality Day, I want every woman to know that her voice matters — she belongs in all places of power, and her boldness is beautiful.
It's up to us to draw strength from the past so that our daughters' future can be anything they want it to be.
PTI folks angry abt the PTM jalsa can rejoice now that their demands for the state to crack down on its speeches are being met. Let's continue to paint targets on each other's back for the deep state's benefit. Im sure it'll work out really well for all of us in the end. 👏🏽
"I once asked a very smart man if I needed citizenship in a country other than the US if things went bad back at home, & he said, 'If it gets that bad there, there's nowhere you can go that won't be touched by it.'"
A rather relevant, if dark, line from Wags this week

The “great debate” is not about whether Pakistan should or shouldn’t go to the IMF, it is about how not to go to the IMF in future.
What should be the Great Debate?
Let this sink in now:
Our existing state institutions in their dilapidated present state, the executive, judiciary and legislature are incapable of delivering any meaningful economic development. We tried different combinations of governance since 1947 and none worked. Many attribute our failures to interference by the establishment without ascertaining the reasons for the vicious cycle.
It is high time we re-evaluate how Pakistan needs to be governed for it to be a modern nation on the planet Earth. This should be the Great Debate. And this requires a 360 degree analysis of every aspect of Pakistani society.
Men joking about nagging wives/girlfriends is the lamest uncle move. If you're so irritated, leave women alone! The truth? You can't function without them; you can't take care of yourselves physically or emotionally, & you're too insecure to admit it, so you make stupid jokes.
