Okay so, I’ve taken off my watch, rings and wristbands. I do this to ensure no hindrances as I begin to write this article. My hope is, by relaying this information, you understand the urgency with which I write this. Pepsi Battle of the Bands Season 3 concluded this past weekend. This season’s swan song…

5 (Well 6) Must Try Eateries in K-Town
First of all, the term K-Town doesn’t refer to a Korea Town, in some western metropolis. No. K-town is a colloquial term used by many Karachites as a term of endearment for their beloved “City of Lights”. I mean we use it to show affection, not just to sound cool; totally not why we do…
5 Pakistani Artists You Won’t Find on Coke Studio
In an older article, I warned, or let’s say prophesied, that if the producers of Coke Studio aren’t careful, their seat on the pinnacle of Pakistani Music will be taken. Today, I’m going to effectively give that seat away. Away to five people, who I believe should be safely and comfortably perched at the top….
5 Pakistanis Who Should Have Their Own Reality TV Shows
There I was, engaged deep in conversation with Ushah Kazi about Pakistani celebrities and the controversies that surround them. While also, simultaneously, battling sleep. As I began losing my battle with sleep, Ushah had an epiphany. Why don’t Pakistani celebrities have reality TV shows? I was then, briefly, taken over by the vigour of inspiration…
The best Pepsi Ad Pakistan has Ever Seen
Our world is full of secrets. Especially in this day and age where people want to be ‘first’ for everything, from PSL tickets to Sapphire Sales. One thing, however, that isn’t a secret is my love for Pepsi. Love not just because I help run one of the largest (in Asia) manufacturers of the stuff….
It’s Time We Went to Rehab for Our Coke Studio Addiction
I was scrolling through Facebook as one does late one night. It’s useful for finding out about current events, you see. After reading about Mahira’s cringe-worthy reaction to Javed Sheikh’s awkward show of affection, I realized that the Lux Style Awards took place the night before. So naturally, I was curious to see who the…
Let’s Cut the BS

The compulsion is so great that it takes over all your priorities until your expression is complete. This, what you’re reading right now, is a result of one such compulsion. While this particular urge has been…
Dear Rishta Aunty
It’s a normal Saturday evening. I’m scrolling through Facebook as one does on their way home from work. Among the myriad of posts about how amazing or horrendous Karachi EAT is, I come across an article by Sarah Babar. I click on it. Thinking it would be an interesting read to pass the time as…
2017: A Year in Review
Yes, I am aware of how terribly clichéd this seems. But please do bare with me. I personally don’t do this as a that-time-of-year induced compulsion. But there are very few years that have been as eventful as 2017. No, this isn’t going to be a commentary on all that has happened around the world…
Why Aren’t We Talking About Telenor’s New Advertising Campaign?
You! Yeah you! You who inhabit the Pakistani inter webs and fill every last forum with your comments on literally every last thing. I have a question for you. Why are you not talking about possibly the most significant advertising campaign of the year? No I don’t mean the next Coke ad because they’d be the…
