Discovered a beautiful food place in Hazara town. Rice lovers should treat their tastebuds with yummiest biryani, qabuli pulao, sabzi qorma, and other spicy kababs at a serene environment. Loved their dried flowers, feminist phrases and Hazargi craft hanging on the walls 🌸😋

after merging the city campus with takatu their bus isn't on route as usual & the students of both campuses use Takatu bus for commuting plus this is not an appropriate way a conductor should collect fares what if he falls?
A beautiful scene of Turkish men surrounding their women to protect them from the crowd in Hajj. A sight to be shown to the whole world as a prime example that how beautifully islam has taught the men to be respectful and caring for their women.
As a kid we were told about rainbows 🌈 that if one jumps over it their gender will be changed (means if a girl jumps over it she would transform into a boy) isn't it fancy how rainbows were referred to sexuality even back then?!

Abdullah(guy who works in this cafe) took this photo and calmed me with this phrase while I was panicking for my first in-person program. We all definitely need an Abdullah and this phrase framed on our walls! ☀️

Harassment is a serious problem affecting people of all backgrounds in Pakistan and there's still a need for more awareness and prevention measures, particularly in digital realm. Lincoln Corner hosted a discussion session focused on types of harassment under Pakistani laws.
Stop dragging us when people accuse you of boot-licking and being the spokesperson for cantt, we have already seen enough violence and isolation I mean the audacity to compare cantt with Mariabad after enjoying the perks of divide and rule in Quetta all these years 🤌
She says that the Hazara often asked her to leave, especially when the Pashtuns were with them. This prove that the entry of Pashtuns in Maryabad is strictly prohibited and recent incidents shows that they've local boys force created to keep eyes on a outsiders.

We are all set to start Green Bus Service operations. Test operations to begin from July 13. Full scale operations will be inaugurated on Monday July 17 inshaAllah. Quetta’s long awaited quality public transport is finally here.

@sethimirajee
for wonderfully articulating our problems through fiction. No doubt, art and literature are the only ways left for ordinary people to speak their mind out without the fear of being stamped by any "isms".
There is no Lincoln Corner in Balochistan due to various reasons however there are 19 corners all across Pakistan even in Gilgit. Since I started virtual programming I made it my 2022 goal to do everything I could for a corner. This is the rhetoric part of that goal. 🎯
Ladies of Quetta, grab the opportunity as we won 3 seed grant out of 5 in the previous AWE cohort, visited Karachi, met some amazing business mentors & had a learning experience together.

Shame on you Islamabad police for blatantly lying, this is 2023, the era of social media. Due to this kind of censorship all these years people outside Balochistan can still not differentiate between Baloch and Balochi.

So glad to be contributing to the lives of people with disabilities in Balochistan. The already marginalised community face alot of challenges in their daily lives but their disability isn't their inability to compete with others at different platforms.
