English will never attain a level of ubiquity that Arabic has. The vast majority of Arabs use Arabic, and will continue to do so in the future. And that's a good thing. An Arabic based ecosystem may not offer any technological advantages in the short run, but in the long run, it will promote...

That's a lot of stuff, and much of it is usable or repairable.

I think they designed it to look like a regular internal combustion bike. Probably so it gains market acceptance in the initial stages. Otherwise, why would they put that "petrol tank" in the middle. They will probably introduce sleeker designs in the future.

Do you disagree with any of the four points I made?

Its all relative. Between Lahore and Karachi, Lahore is cleaner. But I would say Islamabad is the cleanest city in Pakistan. Unfortunately, waste management and hygiene have been a problem in Pakistan for most of its history. There are many reasons. But the biggest reason is the ineptitude and...

At this time, the Baloch insurgents are at their weakest. They have been beaten back. All they can do is carry out isolated suicide attacks on soft targets. Which is something no state can completely stop. If the state were able to put a complete stop to insurgent violence, then there would be...

This host (don't know her name) always sounds either angry, or sarcastic. She does not even feign objectivity. Very unprofessional.

The goal is to stop the violence and save lives. If talking will move us closer to that, then why not. This tough talking that we should never talk to insurgents is immature, devoid of foresight, and lacking in wisdom. History is filled with instances where talking to insurgents does make a...

The Nigerian Army is looking to leverage the experience of the Pakistani armed forces in combating terrorism.

Even if he were some sort of a spy or double agent, or whatever, could he not just go to a third country to meet his handlers? This is just a nonsensical story.

Some Pakistanis have a tendency to be intimidated, and in awe of Americans and Europeans. Those who have spent some time amongst them quickly learn that they are no different than anyone else. Heck, even Pakistanis who haven't traveled abroad don't seem to be intimidated anymore. Things have...

The UK will never extradite Nawaz Sharif, as that could precipitate a financial crisis. How, you ask? The UK is a haven for ill gotten money brought in by corrupt leaders, oligarchs, crooked businessmen, bureaucrats, judges, from all over the world. We are talking billions of dollars, possibly...

Here is what I found: - The green drink is radioactive. See the pot that Japan is pouring out of - "We Bring Peace and Order" is written on the left wall. "We have Freedom and Democracy" on the right wall. - A cross on the back wall, right above "Through this we can still rule the world" - Two...

Exactly, this is what I was referring to in my earlier post, #19. This is the actual work that PTI is doing. But it's not being covered by the media. Someone needs to tell Kamran Khan. He keeps saying that IK is doing nothing for Karachi.

I agree, this is eyewash. But this is what they need to do to get reelected, because the real work they are doing is not so visible, and does not win elections.

Most talk shows invite guests from the government, the opposition, and a "senior tajzianigar", and then encourage them to argue (not discuss or debate in a civilized manner). I prefer Kamran Khan which is sort of a news roundup of the day, with guests invited for a more in-depth look at...

If a Muslim person commits a crime, the media never fails to point out their religion, even if their actions have nothing to do with their professed faith, or even contradict it. So it's only fair to point out that the world's most popular and effective covid vaccine was developed by Ugur Sahin...

Bell's Palsy usually goes away after a couple of weeks with no long term effects.

They are not saying that debt has decreased. They are saying that the rate of increase in debt has slowed significantly i.e. debt accumulation during PTI rule has been much lower than debt accumulation during PPP or PMLN rule, despite inheriting a terrible economy and COVID.

What an arrogant prick this Stephen Sackur is. Pakistanis should not bother going on his show. Fawad did the best he could. But English is not his first language, so that alone put him at a big disadvantage. Also, the fact that the host can make unsubstantiated accusations, then interrupt the...
