#TheNewFrontier: #PunjabElections - Battle for Punjab or Battle for Narratives?

(1/9) As long the battle for political parties is through discourse and elections in Pakistan - we are safe.

#RantsoftheMangoMan: Don't dig your own grave.

No matter who he was, how he treated his wives/they treated him, how he carried himself in media/politics - he's gone, reached his end & I find no reason for you to make your end miserable by speaking ill of the dead. [A Thread] 1/n Was disappointed reading critical eulogies written for him online, but was not shocked. We are polarized in our opinion, lost respect for the dead [and those who are alive and we hate] - no matter how many times we were told to behave, we made sure to defy it. 2/n

2 cents on #PodcastWithIK: @junaidakram83 & @hoflolz were either shit scared of @ImranKhanPTI or were in awe. Had no hard-hitting questions, kept on building context in his favor before asking a qs & ZERO rebuttals. @talhaahad was keeping IK in check. Kudos to him! (1/n) 🧵 @ImranKhanPTI is drumming old beats that will swoon #Youthias & #Imrandos only. Anyone w/ little wisdom knows @ImranKhanPTI builds towers of promises & then eventually falls from it. Give him 2/3rd majority & bet he will find a new scapegoat to carry burden of his failures. (2/n)

#GRACE is something one cannot expect from @PTIofficial, while it can be expected from the rest, even from the establishment. But, we can still wish & pray for a surprise from other side - best things happen unexpectedly.

A thread building case for more grace in society.. (1/n) Grace and tolerance is not an act of submission, it's nothing to be ashamed of - it's in fact an act of defiance against arrogance. Forgiving, moving on with grace, and showing respect is the attribute of the strong, it's the weak who is unable to forgive. (2/n)
