it’s the annual sabahat zakariya coal posting time
Will never be not funny to me that the grandiose and bombastic Muslim internationalist Iqbal who wrote in Persian and ran from anything small and local in his poetic persona (including his Punjabiyat) is known as Iqbal Lahori by the Persians he was so terribly enamoured with.

Sabahat has the same energy talking about Pakistani figures that fox news pundits have talking about Al Syed

Taste is subjective and ppl can have their own opinions. But most of the people going out of their way to shit on Cheezious are just desperate to show how unique and bougie they are for not liking something popular among and accessible to the lower middle class.
As a Karachi wala I'm so curious, is Cheezious actually bad or is it just a victim of "pehle jaisa nahi raha / mera pait kharab hogaya tha" Pakistanis whining about everything bad? I'm so curious. Is it good like kababjees pizza or actually horrible like pizza max?

Given that the required run rate never went over 5 - it is INSANE how many batters got out slogging today against England.

We have once again the Lib-In-Chief of Pakistani society here to reaffirm her deeply held belief that Pakistani society is religiously fanatical and morally worse than their "secular" Indian counterparts (she also enjoys pushing the myth of genuine Indian secularism pre-Modi, drinking the Nehruvian Kool-Aid with the all the enthusiasm of a native propagandist). I am surprised at how much of a "gotcha 🤪🤪" Pahalgam is used as in a world where Oct 7 happened. Violent retaliation in response to occupying Indian government that unveiled fun new tricks like the world's first mass blinding is somehow, for Sabahat, random and gratuitous Islamic terrorism. This is also precisely where her shallow politics break down. She thinks that religion is the source of this violence. She cannot reckon with the reality of decades of irreligious resistance (doubtless she'd call it terror) across the world, because that would require acknowledging the sameness of the violence and its causes.
Replying to @asharnotasher
Bayta, that’s the problem. That intelligent young people like you have zero ability to look at your own country and co-religionists, and that the language you use is deeply steeped in online leftist pomo mumbo jumbo that has zero relevance to your own context. Pahalgam is ‘terrorism happening around the world’? Please open a map. And worry less about Palestine and more about your complicity in your country’s fascism.

In the face of islamophobic propaganda organized by a hindutva government and bollywood do you really not see why playing a naat might be empowering and valid? When minority movements stay stuff like white ppl are trash do you also tell to pls be polite and non bigotted??
Kirkir kirkir would have been funny. Paar Chanaa De would have been poignant. This is just plain bigoted. But lord forbid Pakistanis ever look into their twisted, hateful ideology instead of constantly patting themselves on the back for their marvelous humour.

In the face of facism - moral policing the side being called barbaric terrorists and calling Pakistanis bigoted is quite a choice to make. I'm actually so confused: are you pretending you dont know bollywood Islamophobia and this is in some context?? Or do you not care?..

The worst thing Pakistan cricket (or any sport team) can be is boring. Losing is bad, ofcourse Being unwatchable is what KILLS the culture and passion of cricket in a nation. After AGES today Pakistan were very VERY watchable.

So damaged is the cricket community of Pakistan that even celebrating an absolutely bonkers debut performance comes with a sense of dread and worry about the the enviable collapse of a star barely born.
