wait, it is so bizarre how I see my husband's family throw a grand party while we are sitting in our 1 BHK that smells like curry and desperation. every corner reminds me they let me in but I can feel the PITY in their smiles like they are whispering "we accepted her, but should we have?" last week I scrolled through Instagram and watched my friends flaunt their foreign vacations while I'm over he...
the hypocrisy surrounding the exclusion of Babar Azam from Pakistan's ODI squad against Bangladesh is staggering. the PCB acts like they are prioritizing team performance, yet they still let lucrative sponsorships influence decisions. brands like Pepsi and Coca-Cola profit immensely during tournaments, raking in billions, while players who bring the crowds are treated like expendable pieces on a c...
