How does he use the toilet?

Was wondering how an amritdhari who never trims his beard sits on the toilet without getting his beard soiled?
Does he roll it up or push it behind his shoulder?

Desi languages diluted heavily by English

Desi languages diluted heavily by English is a massive issue for keeping the authenticity and purity. Anytime you hear unofficial news reports or people having cultural discussions or debates in Punjabi or Urdu or Hindi; it is littered with so many English words. It seems like 30% of what is spoken is not in the intended dialect. Many of the English words have an equivalent lexicon in the desi language. It is actually very irritating and pathetic truly. The creator or participants might as well have just done the content in English instead of the bastardized Urdu. No wonder our mother tongues keep degrading and lose their purpose. Just a rant. What do y'all think?

I did Punjab government's job for them - For free

If you use Metro/electric busses across Punjab, you might have used eTransit Punjab app at some point to find out the bus routes. It's slow, buggy and has very few features for what it's supposed to be.

So I built an app that fixes those problems. It's called Safar (safar.fyi)

It is not just Lahore either. It has the Electric/Metro bus routes for cities all over Punjab now, including a lot of the smaller ones that usually don't show up anywhere. Faisalabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, Sargodha, Sahiwal, Jhelum, and plenty more. If your city has buses, it's probably in there.

You tell it where you are and where you're going, and it shows you which bus to take, where to get off, and roughly what it costs and much more.

I launched it in Islamabad last year and people actually liked it (50k+ have used it till now).

You can try it on web and Android.

Sign the Petition - Add Saraiki in Google Translate

Saraiki is spoken by millions of people across Pakistan, yet it is still missing from Google Translate while many smaller languages are already supported. Google Translate currently supports over 100 languages, including several regional languages from South Asia, but Saraiki remains absent.

Saraiki deserves digital recognition and accessibility. Please consider signing and sharing this petition:

https://www.change.org/p/google-add-saraiki-in-google-translate

Even if you're not a Saraiki speaker, supporting linguistic diversity helps preserve cultures and makes technology more accessible for everyone.

Privatisation of schools in Punjab

It is actually concerning that apparently nobody gives a damn about this outsourcing of schools in Punjab.So there is this general rule that those schools that have lesser students than a specific number are getting privatised and outsourced.And this rule is of course affecting those schools that are in far-off places.

There is a primary school in my vicinity that is just at the edge of desert and sand dunes.It is supposed to get fewer students.How are teachers responsible for this?In its entire history it has never obtained less than 50 students.And they just sell this school to a shyt group,that hired a teacher for 9000rs pay.And also the school is off since winters.

Identity of gujrat

Hi sorry if this is a stupid post or something irrelevant but I’m just curious. Is gujrat and the people of gujrat considered Punjabi ? Technically it is bit I’m aware that some regions such as South Punjab and Azad Kashmir the people aren’t considered Punjabi but rather saraiki and potohari. More specifically are gujjars also considered Punjabi I heard someone say to me that I’m not Punjabi but rather gujjar. Thanks for listening I appreciate your answers
