Pakistani Dramas and I | Are We Getting Back Together?
Of course! But you probably knew it since I started posting this series: Pakistani Drama and I and our complicated relationship.

Friday Frenzies | First of 2026
TGIF! Frenzy is absolutely justified, right? It’s Friday, the last working day. I have the weekend, followed by two days PTO. I’m super stoked. This week was crazy. Even though many team members were on vacation, my life wasn’t easy as I was supposed to finish an epic. With age, I’m becoming more forgetful about…
Pakistani Dramas and I | The Breakup Phase
I don’t hate Pakistani dramas — if anything, it’s quite the opposite. I’ve watched them for over a decade, discussed them, dissected them, and reviewed more of them than I can count. They’ve been a familiar comfort, a habit, a cultural constant. But over the past couple of years, I’ve slowly been cutting down my…
