Our mother–daughter chill time became too chill… thanks to that mango sago and the cold outside. 😄 ❄️

Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech was powerful, emotional, and full of purpose. This man knows what to say and when to say it — his words touch hearts and awaken hope. When he asked New York to breathe in that moment because the city had been reborn.

History made: Zohran Mamdani is New York City’s next mayor. He has shattered barriers as the first Muslim, first South Asian, and first immigrant in nearly 140 years to hold this office. A milestone not just for NYC—but for every community long underrepresented in leadership.

History was made in Virginia tonight. Abigail Spanberger will be the first woman governor after 74 consecutive male governors, while Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Muslim-American woman elected lieutenant governor. Two historic victories.

Decades of dysfunction have reduced us to celebrating the bare minimum—actions that any decent govt, secular or Islamic, should take as a matter of duty to maintain law & order & protect its citizens. May reason & sanity finally prevail so we can move beyond symbolic victories.

Today, the Minara-tul-Masih was inaugurated in New York by the National President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. As I watched, I thought of those minarets of Ahmadis’ mosques being torn down in my homeland. May Pakistan one day uphold the freedom Islam truly safeguards.

Veteran Indian actor Asrani passes away. Grew up watching him in every other film; that voice, those expressions, that perfect comic timing. An entire era of laughter & innocence gone with him. Some actors don’t just entertain, they become part of your childhood. Rest in peace.

According to our TV channels, Iran has nearly destroyed Israel, Israel is crying for US help, and WW3 is done. Feels like our media is now competing with Indian media for alternate reality awards. Not a good sign, bro.

TLP terrorists attack another Ahmadi place of worship in Karachi, blocking Ahmadis from offering Jumma prayers. While Ramadan unites the world in faith and compassion, Pakistan’s state & mullahs spend it hunting Ahmadis, making their already miserable lives even worse. Shame.

Salman Taseer remains the only politician who stood against blasphemy laws, defending the marginalized at great personal cost. Today, we see none willing to follow his path. Instead, many thrive on selling religious bigotry & fanning the flames of division. #DeathAnniversary

While the world reaches for the stars & India soars in economy & science, Pakistan's latest 'achievement' is exhuming an Ahmadi from his grave in Rawalpindi. Religious minorities endure persecution & violence every day. This is the 'progress' of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The persecution of Ahmadis continues. Ameer Hassan, 40, was shot dead in Mirpurkhas Sindh today while returning from Fajr prayer. His 12 yr old son witnessed the horror. He leaves behind a widow & 5 minor children & a community under constant threat.

Isn't it frustrating how even the most intelligent minds blur the lines between genocide & self-defense, democracy & oppression? Justifying a wrong with clever rationalizations only makes it uglier. Sometimes, it feels like the world needs less sophistry & more moral courage.

Heartbreaking news from Rawalpindi: Tayyab Ahmad, a 40 year old Ahmadi, was brutally murdered with an axe due to his faith. In the land of the pure, Ahmadis are not even second-class citizens. They are victims of state-sponsored persecution. How can justice be hoped for?

Made the mistake of watching "Sunn Mere Dil"— an absolute disaster. The story, the acting, the characters—everything is painfully bad. Finding out Khalilur Rehman Qamar wrote it made sense; his arrogant decline is unfolding fast, and honestly, it’s well-deserved.

PTI leaders ran off, leaving their workers to face the guns & now they’re holding press conferences demanding justice for those same workers. The irony! The leadership itself is the biggest reason for PTI's downfall. When you don’t stand by your principles, this outcome is hardly surprising.

PPP and PMLN justifying the massacre on TV shows is the height of shamelessness and a clear glimpse into their real character. To stay in power, they can sink to any level—even defend cold-blooded murder. #Islamabad_Massacre

Unbelievable! Hours after dozens of innocent protestors were butchered on your command, instead of declaring national mourning, you chose to issue heartless statements. This blatant apathy mirrors Netanyahu’s cold indifference. Mark my words: you will never find peace.
