@RShahzaddk کیا آپ کو یہ امید تھی کہ وہ اپنا نام کٹوا کر کیمرہ مین کا نام لکھوانے والوں میں ہوں گے

کیمرہ مین کے نام کٹوا کر سرکاری کھاتے سے حج پر جانے والوں میں ارشاد بھٹی صاحب کا نام بھی لیا جا رہا ہے

US and Iran need to immediately engage in direct talks to work out a framework and timeline for issues that need further deliberation and dialogue. Any military development has the inherent risk of leading to miscalculations from any side. Indirect communication is causing inadvertent delay that could be costly. Pakistan should invite both parties to meet an earlier date. Give diplomacy a chance and structured dialogue is one of the appropriate options to approach it. @realDonaldTrump @drpezeshkian @CMShehbaz @ISPROfficialPK @JDVance @mb_ghalibaf @MIshaqDar50 @araghchi @jaredkushner @SteveWitkoff

@MushtaqBilalPhD ہوئے تم دوست جس کے، دشمن اس کا آسماں کیوں ہو

Recently, a Pakistani friend of mine (we'll call him Danial) got a postdoc at the Lund University in Sweden. We met at his office for coffee. I congratulated him and we caught up. "I need you to do me a favor, Mushtaq," he said. "Of course." "Please don't tell anyone in my family or friends that I work at the Lund University," he said. "Why? What happened?" "Man, just don't mention where I work especially if a mutual friend asks," he said. I was taken aback initially. But then I put two and two together and realized why he didn't want me to tell anyone about his workplace. In Pakistan, the word "lund" means penis. Being the reliable friend that I am, the very next day I rang up Danial's dad and eight of our mutual friends. I told them that Danial was doing well in Sweden and dropped the name of his university ever so nonchalantly. Things went exactly as planned. His dad called him and asked how he was settling in at the Schlong Institute of Dick Studies. Another friend asked Danial how his project would contribute to the research at the Weiner Academy of Sausage Sciences. Every few days, someone from Pakistan calls him to ask how his research at the Phallus Institute of Dong Dynamics is going, or if he was looking for a permanent job at the Johnson Institute for Shaft Studies. He has started looking for a new job. Since Lund was causing Danial all sorts of problems I decided to help him. The poor thing took all this Lund stuff really badly. Apparently, some of our friends tried setting him up with a beautiful British-Paksitani woman, Yasmine, who was visiting Copenhagen. Now Danial has limited social skills when it comes to women and Yasmine was way out of his league. Yet he was able to charm her somehow and took her out for a date in a trendy restaurant in Copenhagen. Things came to a head when she asked him where he was currently based. "Lund," he said. "I wasn't sure initially, but now I quite like Lund." She thought he was a closeted gay looking for a lavendar marriage and was trying to deceive her. She got up, threw her wine in his face, and stormed out of the restaurant but not before yelling "You sick little perverted motherfucker" in the poshest British accent. Anyway, I decided to help him get out of Lund. I asked my colleagues here in Danish academia if they were hiring any researchers. Søren, one of my colleagues, said that he was. A marine ecologist, he had recently won a big grant to conduct research in the North Sea. I showed Søren Danial's Google Scholar profile. He was clearly impressed. "He's exaclty the kind of researcher we need," Søren said. So, I rang up Danial and told him that Søren here in Copenhagen is interested in hiring him. "Yes," He said without even letting me finish. "I'll take the job. Just get me out of Lund, man, it's hard, Lund's hard." I told Søren that Danial was willing to accept the job. As we parted, I asked him what his research project was about. "Effekten af ​​bundtrawl i Nordsøen," Søren replied in Danish. In English, this means "The effect of bottom trawling in Nordic sea." The only problem with this is that the Danish word for bottom is "bund." In Pakistan, bund means buttocks. Danial will join Søren's project in a few weeks. This time around I'm not going to tell his father or our friends anything about his job. Just kidding. I've already told them and they've started working on names like Keister Institute of Booty Sciences. It's going to be great I also took the opportunity to update Yasmine about Danial's upcoming project on bundtrawling. "I knew it," she said. "I already knew it."

@mashfaq75 I haven't visited those areas of Nagri Bala for decades, otherwise, I frequently visit my hometown or other nearby areas.

@GulDadGul Why decades it’s your own home land so sad I usually visit every month

@zarrar_11PK This is very sound advice especially when Pakistan has rightly kept in discussions completely behind the closed door and adopted a policy not to issue any statement 😯

Refrain from speculative reporting and focus on official statements only.

@hasankhyber That is relevant question. If by any stretch of imagination,Durand Line is not so-called recognized could also mean none is recognized. Isn't?

If all the four borders of Afghanistan are drawn/demarcated by the Britishers - as recorded in history- then where was Afghanistan before that -- was a it a rag tag tribal confederate?

If both sides especially President Trump could avoid public diplomacy, a for better win-win agreement could be reached between the #US and #Iran through Pak mediated back-channel and US-Iran direct talks. Social media diplomacy breaks the whole in politically sensitive parts and not only vitiates the environment but also creates unreasonable expectations for both back home. If all issues are discussed and a workable outcome is reached, there will be many political salient things for both the government to take home. Pakistan as a mediator has kept it effectively behind the doors; now it is high time for the warring side to do the same and move away from public diplomacy till the time any agreement is finalized and signed. @realDonaldTrump @drpezeshkian @CMShehbaz @JDVance @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi @SteveWitkoff @MIshaqDar50

It seems that Iranian FM @araghchi will first have bilateral discussions with Pakistan and then might head to Oman and Russia before returning back to Islamabad for talks with the US.

@TurgayEvren1 Pakistani nationalism is unique in its outlook lying somewhere in-between the right and the left.

Is there something like Pakistan nationalism? What is it? Is it a kind of secular or Islamic nationalism?...

*international peace

Amid fragile ceasefires and a growing “war of blockades,” core issues—maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran sanctions and financial access, nuclear parameters and credible non-use-of-force assurances—remain unresolved, deepening mistrust between the United States and Iran. A structured Composite Dialogue process offers a practical pathway—pursuing parallel, interlinked progress across all issues within a single framework of timelines, sequencing, and reciprocal steps. A full cessation of hostilities and end to blockades, preferably agreed upfront as confidence-building measures, can create the minimum trust required for meaningful engagement. An immediate second round in Pakistan—without delay—can help shift from signaling to substance and institutionalize direct, sustained dialogue. Appropriate senior level teams (mirroring first round) from the US and Iran may meet in Pakistan for 2-3 days and develop this framework, paying the way for its signing by the US and Iranian presidents in Islamabad on a mutually agreed date. @RealPresidentT & company, @drpezeshkian & company need to show initiative for internal peace. @CMShehbaz

@AbdullahKhan333 On similar grounds your retirement from watching international cricket was announced, why an exception for the club cricket. Ye khula tazad nahi

@GulDadGul I had announced retirement from watching Pakistan's international matches.

@TurgayEvren1 Most probably, this was something specifically developed and does not seem to be any possible variant of local dance kumar. The video shared on this thread by @Sadiaataha is actually kumar. Someone informed on the issue may shed more light.

This dance idea from Hazara, Pakistan 🇵🇰. It is getting viral on instagram these days. Is it a new or traditional dance? What is it called? Anyone who can do this dance?...

@TurgayEvren1 We are doing this blunder for decades

I started drinking tea with milk after visiting Pakistan. How do you like your tea?...

@sardesairajdeep Probably the world was sick of staged-managed acts and paid no attention. Pakistan's sincere offer of an independent inquiry and Indian refusal made the world not to believe the Indian version of the story.

One year after Pahalgam’s victims fell to terror, Pakistan is playing ‘peacemaker’ between the US and Iran. In geopolitics, yesterday’s accused are today’s mediators. Convenient global amnesia? Did our high profile post Op Sindoor diplomatic outreach to world capitals fail? Or is this just how geo politics ‘realism’ works? Thoughts and prayers with the victim families: their loss is irreparable . 🙏🙏
