Of course! But you probably knew it since I started posting this series: Pakistani Drama and I and our complicated relationship. So, I thought, if I were to spend hours on YouTube, why not start watching Pakistani Dramas again. At least they would: give me structured storytelling be culturally familiar and hey — also…

Pakistani Dramas and I | Life During Our “Time Apart”
So we’ve talked about the breakup. Now, what did I do when I wasn’t watching Pakistani dramas? Did I give up YouTube altogether? Of course not — don’t be silly. After losing a loved one, my mind had this constant background noise I didn’t quite know how to silence. I needed something to fill the…
Reading Pile | January 2026
Intro Every month, I try to post a roundup of everything I wrote/read/watched that month. This year, I’m starting another series to post about planned reads and actual reads.

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…

Thursday Thrills | Party to Banti Hai
This week was crazy. This year was crazier. Maybe, someday, when I have the time and patience, I’ll write all about it (I have notes, y’know) but not today, not for a foreseeable future. The Invitation So, I was racing against time to finish things, last day and all (for the deliverable, nothing to do…
