Tourism in Pakistan: Historical sites have been whitewashed or destroyed. The Galiyaat are overcrowded, badly designed hotels that are overpriced. That's the truth, it's not the booze, not the lack of roads. We litre & are only good for breaking the natural ecology of the land.
Every year it gets worse, every year I ask why doesn't the government privatise the garbage picking and actually give these thekas to the local people of the area. Every year I shudder at the rapid urbanisation of my favourite valleys. You have no idea what you are asking for.
Pakistani tourism enthusiast thinking the problem is booze, no its Savour Foods palao boxes made of styrofoam that people pack in dozens to take with them to the north and dump them on the roadside. Soon, it will all the masks lying on the side of the road collecting bacteria.
2021 be ready to step on rotting face masks everywhere (makes orange peels look good) Kids today refuse and whine about going on a family trip to the North! All they see are too many people trying to take selfies with views they don't even know how to carry back to the city.

The Artist: - Thread -

The duality, hypocrisy, unwilling to understand each other highlights our limited ability to value music and perhaps women. A glaring societal split is toxic and unbearable.

Listen: Abdullah Siddiqui, Meesha Shafi - Magenta Cyan
Contd: One of my favourite songs of all time is Mela Kariyay. Understanding the artist involves knowing the value they have brought to an industry fraught with conflict & manic egoisms. You gotta fight for what you love! sigh.

A Thread: The constant undermining of female intelligence in this country begins at home. Assume your female counterparts don't know because it makes you feel superior. Shame on you. The simplistic view of male exposure grants them "know better" than everyone else needs to end.
Instead of providing support - men pity themselves. They'll break us down to feel powerful in an argument. When men claim they know how I feel living in this country, I want to literally spit water in their faces because that's how we females live every second of every day.
And then they come at me for being reactive somehow ruining everything in their fragile house of cards reality. Give me a break. At least you have the ability to create your own reality. We barter, haggle and borrow a sense of self because we aren't permitted to have our own.
