draped dupatta, statement jewellery and enormous sunglasses.

i js can’t seem to like it. either sleeves with no lining or won’t opt for net sleeves at all. i’m aware that it’s meant for modesty.

matcha, books and business casual is all considered performative but, what abt the males who are wearing logos, expensive logos or accessories that signify wealth? is it not performing for an audience? i’d like to hear perspectives from both men and women.

i’ll prob die on this hill but, i’d rather suffer for the aesthetic.

The design was created by Lebanese designer, Rita Qaranbach, before being stitched by her family’s tailor in Pakistan.

the requested haq mehr amounts or other demands in this video seem far beyond what the avg person could realistically afford.

i understand that the bride has the right to set her haq mehar, and the groom has the right to accept or decline. but at what point do the expectations become impractical?

is it social media that is encouraging increasingly extravagant demands, or have these cases always existed and are just getting more attention now?

where would you personally draw the line, and why?

1. not everything has to be baggy or oversized.

2. designer lawn isn’t worth it.

3. bridal fashion or makeup has become repetitive.

1. I tried to search for the origin of the first video. I couldn’t find any verifiable source but, found this same post in an i*dian subreddit from 10 years ago. I don’t know what to make of that.

2. The vehicle is extensively used in military battlefields so, I couldn’t find any connection that ties it directly to Pakistan.

3. I saw an emblem or insignia on the APC right behind this MaxPro. I searched all over the internet but, didn’t find any similar ones associated with our military.

4. I read a comment saying that it’s a different dialect of Pashto and the person in the video is referring to talibans.

5. The second picture is AI-generated.

6. There are no sources for either claims except from i*dian news. According to them, their forces invaded Lhr port in May 2025.

With that being said, Kashmir’s cause or any protest against the government isn’t helped by AI images, recycled videos, or unverified claims. If anything, it gives people an excuse to dismiss legitimate grievances. Exaggerated claims, especially those amplified to push a particular narrative, shouldn’t be accepted uncritically.

Speak up for Kashmir 🍁

i’ve been noticing this lately.

it’s almost always the same formula: the woman works outside the home (or has a full-time content career), comes back to cook a feast, keeps the house spotless, serves everyone, and somehow looks perfectly put together throughout. every video feels carefully curated to present an ideal.

am i reading too much into this? is this content simply harmless lifestyle inspiration, or raising unrealistic expectations for women in Pakistan?

curious to hear both men’s and women’s perspectives.

I’ve been wanting to get into Urdu poetry, but I have no idea where to start.

Share your favourite sher, ghazal, or nazm. and if you’d like, tell me why it resonates with you. Looking forward to discovering some beautiful poetry through your recommendations.

This reel popped up on my feed today. I’m trying to understand the politics behind Sindh not keeping up pace. Punjab isn’t perfect overall but why is the gap with Sindh so wide?

zero functionality. like the microscopic LV bag got sold for around $60,000? i can’t wrap my head around it. i cannot get behind trends that exist just for the sake of existing.

you don’t need lighter eyes to elevate your outfit or look prettier. i’d recommend wearing contacts that are closer to your natural eye colour. it will look so much more flattering and believable.

edit: i’m not against contact lenses. this is a fashion sub and i’m only stating my opinion.

edit 2: you don’t have to call me names to disagree with me. scroll away if you can’t do so respectfully. what im questioning is why the most popular cosmetic lenses are almost always grey, blue, or green. lighter features have been marketed as more desirable for decades. these trends dont exist in a vacuum.

yes, everyone has the freedom to wear whatever they like. but its also fair to ask whether our preferences are entirely our own when we have spent years being told that certain features are more beautiful than others.

your natural eye colour isnt something that needs fixing to complete an outfit or to look more polished.

this randomly popped up on my feed. this seems so stereotypical like where’s that accent coming from? they’d do anything but, represent Pakistanis accurately.

I don’t even have words to express the amount of disgust that i’m feeling right now. AI is unethical, but there’s an actual human behind these videos who’s generating them to garner views.

The parents have already suffered enough, and now they’re being exposed to this filth. the moral failure that you have to be at to even consider this is mind blogging to me.
