I got to meet the PM again after nearly a decade. Sadly no phones allowed inside but at least I got a pic of myself at Governor House. Image
Ps, the PM did look more handsome and fit MashaAllah. He spoke to the point, made some witty comments and showed us why he is a great statesman. I understood he would take his time to visit Karachi as he didn't want to come empty handed. Glad he mentioned the same thing to us.
I also got to have a quick chat with @Asad_Umar who was quite gracious. My neck hurt from looking up as he is so tall :). He was kind enough to listen to my comment about a certain situation (though I panicked and repeated myself).
Kudos to @ZarlashtFaisal for pushing on how the government's stance on SMEs and logistics. I really hope they do something about it.
Damn I forgot to end the sentence with "govt's stance on SMEs and logistics isn't good enough."
The PM mentioned how the following week is important when it comes to the FATF. The joint session is essential so those crucial bills can be passed so we can get off the grey list.
He was right when he said that a true democratic opposition should be working for the interest of people when they are critical of the govt. Lately all they have been focused on is their own survival.
The only thing which sucked was that I didn't know most of the people. Met @DrAwab after ages.

Shahbaz Sharif has not learned any lessons from his brother.

Sharing something I found online.
In August 1999, an earthquake struck Turkey. More than 18 thousand lives were lost while more than 50 thousand were wounded. Nawaz Sharif showed an interest in visiting Turkey then.
Three days later, Foreign Minister Sartaj Aziz contacted the Turkish authorities that Nawaz Sharif was willing to visit Ankara. Attempts were made to convince Mian Sahab that the Turkish leadership was currently engaged in relief operations and did not have time to host.
This was reported to the Secretary to the Prime Minister at the request of Sartaj Aziz. Nawaz Sharif agreed to a five-day adjournment, after which he arrived in Istanbul. He offered his condolences to the Turkish leadership and inspected the site. NS loved a kebab from Istanbul.

The PDM has made statements which have come back to haunt them.

They protested against inflation as an excuse to overthrow the govt but ended up taking it to record levels.

They used to complain about petrol bombs. Now they have given us quite a few recently.
There were complaints about how the dollar to rupee valuation. Within 9 months of their imposed govt, the dollar has gone up by a 100 rupees.
The PDM accused the PTI govt of fascism for prosecuting their leaders for embezzlement and other charges. Now they are going after the PTI on frivolous charges.

There have been big names in Journalism in the West who suffered the consequences of unsubstantiated news reports. [Thread]
Dan Rather was a national name in the US and anchored CBS Evening News for 24 years, as well as a stint as a correspondent on 60 Minutes II.
He came under heavy criticism due to the Killian documents controversy (2004), which were unsubstantiated allegations against George W. Bush's service in the Texas National Guard. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_d…

I remember how Cam prints of Hollywood movies flooded the market in the early 90s. We were able to watch the latest movies but the quality was terrible.
One of the movies I remember is "Jurassic Park", where members of the audience were laughing during the jello scene. Then there was "Death becomes her" where people in the audience were getting up to leave during the movie (which ruined the experience).
Pulse Global was in the market but the window between Theatrical releases and Home Video was quite lengthy. Eventually Pulse Global was unable to compete and pirated movies (albeit in better quality) were able to make a comeback.
