We often glamorise the immigrant dream, but hardly ever deconstruct the diasporic idealism surrounding one's yearning to return to the homeland. A glorious myth many of our elders concocted that reality inevitably shattered. #NeverHaveIEver 2 #NeverHaveIEver depicts it quite well.

A masterpiece.

Friends, I’m looking to interview people who migrated from Lucknow to Pakistan at any point in time — either people who migrated themselves, or their children/grandchildren. This is for my PhD thesis — please share with people who might be interested or DM me for details!

So many of us have had to endure the agony of heartbreakingly painful personal sacrifices during the pandemic, just to comply with Government guidance.

So it simply cannot be one rule for the Prime Minister and his elite chums, and another rule for the rest of us!

Of late,both🇵🇰and🇬🇧 passed domestic abuse/violence bills. Given the uproar against🇵🇰 bill for supposedly destroying trad family system, it's important to contrast the two. It's evident that 🇵🇰 bill, while a step in the right direction, doesn't go far enough to tackle DV. Short 🧵
