I’m gonna post this tomorrow or the day after. But as I write it today, I’m feeling a mixture of emotions buried in me. Tonight will be restless. Tomorrow, I’m having a stall in Nust. Idk if it goes good, but I’m sure I will profit from it. Here’s the thing: it’s always down to…

“Customer is always right” is a capitalist lie. If the customer is an asshole, (s)he should’ve treated as such. The minute you “disrespect” a minimum wage worker, even on their actual mistake, you lose your ground and you deserve every inch of hate you receive.

I’m enroute to Peshawar on my first ever Faisal movers bus. Once there, I’ve got to cover a differently-abled PMS officer’s special education story … more like the absence of special education. Anyways..yeah this is it. I have been meaning to resume writing diary for a long time now but due to different reasons at…

First time eating in Ramadan. In contrast to my skinny built, I’ve always found the strength to keep all fasts, every Ramadan, starting from when I was in grade 2. Now, I am eating inside Railway Restaurant. There are people around me eating so .. it’s not that awkward as I thought it would be.…

Whenever I resume the diary of a senseless wanderer again, I’ll add this there. Life is layed out in front of me. And it is gentle and hard at the same time. I’m not soft enough to admit every little lie that is told in the name of “spreading positivity” and “promoting a strengthened mind”,…

I hate the idea of waiting. Especially if it is for an interview or suchlike. If I have to meet someone who has some struggle in his life, and is thus a good person to have an interaction with, they won’t keep me waiting. I hate the idea of having to work for people who…

I had thought of only writing in you every night. But .. I want to destress right now. So here it is Tess. Work from home is a bitch. Communication, especially with people who actually think, is difficult. I’m working with a guy who .. is kinda strict. He is my senior. And he was…

An Instagram story from @baigandbaigum triggered this .. trail of thoughts. I decided to write an entry for Diary of a senseless wanderer. This week was kinda stressing.

Sometime in Fall 2020 I’m sitting on a bus taking us (Edit: this was written when I was involved in an unsuccessful relationship, therefore: us) to go get our vaccination certificates. A girl by my side gave me a pen to write my CNIC and number on this medical receipt. I have had written it…

Sit Straight
Fall 2021 You know what? Don’t say to someone that they should sit straight or look forward or swing their arms more. I am in this deep dark abyss right now because someone used to insist that I should ‘sit straight’. I hate myself for this because my back is like 2 feet and I…

Someplace Serene
Fall 2021 Everyone needs to have basic rights. A need to feel safe and a need to feel free. A need to be wanted. A need to belong. A need to connect with people lifelong. A need to find meaning. A need to find love and feel love. A need to be respected when spoken…

Stupid Opinion about PK Suffrages
Sometime in Fall 2021 Once when I was coming back to NUST, just a couple of metres outside gate 1, I saw a girl, 16 or 17 years of age, on a donkey cart. She was with her little 3/4-year-old sister… Looking lost, perhaps thinking of where her next meal would come from, her clothes…

University internet was down recently. And I realized how much we are dependent on internet. All lectures for my studies are on MS Teams. I have to tweak my budget and YNAB is an online platform. I have to text some people and WhatsApp needs internet. It’s 1054am. Some guy had an online meet planned…
