MUST VISIT: BITES AND VIBES IS HERE IN ISLAMABAD

I'm one of the people who always complain that there are no events in Islamabad and we're not able to enjoy as much as the Lahoris and Karachites. But I'm glad that now we've started having fun events in Islamabad too.

After having a very good experience at Islamabad Eat, I'm very excited for Bites and Vibes - a food festival by Food Panda that's taking place in Islamabad on 21st January. 🔜
The event will take place in Art and Craft Village, Shakarparian, from 10am to 10pm and there'll be a LOT of eateries serving their best food at a VERY LOW price. Yess, nothing will cross rs. 200 and I think that's a steal, especially when you'll have restaurants like Peppers, Jessie's, Cheese factor, The waffle House, Chattha's, Wild Thyme - Hunza Cuisine, Rahdaari and many more serving you. And oh, 7up will be serving free margaritas too 🙆🍹🍸
There will also be a kids area with token rides, jumping castle, face painting and other exciting activities for kids.
Moreover, you'll be enjoying the performance of Sakin and Khamaj band too 🙆

Although I have my exam the next day, but I'm not going to miss this event at all 💯

You guys need to visit if you're in Islamabad. The tickets, priced at PKR 200 will be available on spot.
You can find other details here.

#JusticeforZainab

CHANGE doesn’t exist in the dictionary of this society anymore. We raise slogans for CHANGE, we set it as our aim for bringing betterment but have we ever thought of actually implementing THIS CHANGE to our lives positively?

This is another black day for the society why? Because we never even thought of changing, reforming ourselves or purifying ourselves. How are we even different from the nations who went extinct, the ones who were made sign of disgrace for the generations to come? The answer that your soul slaps you with is, NO.
Why do we keep get stricken by shameful incidents every day is because we deserve it. What have we ever done to make this society better even by an inch?  The humanity stands ashamed to Zainab today, it has stood shame-faced in history to many more zainabs and their brothers as well as their families. Zainab was kidnapped, raped and killed but have we thought if she would have lived what would have been happened. She would have been ridiculed all her life of the sin she didn’t even commit. All her life she would have been told no one will marry you, you can’t go out people will talk about you, you can’t study because your innocence have been taken away.
We keep blaming higher officials for what happens, for every act of injustice. Have we ever thought of taking the blame for once, once at least?  Who brought them into power? Who goes to their sermons? Who raise their slogans? Us, my dear fellows.
Today officials of all provincial governments and surrounding people are posting pictures and criticizing the local and federal in-power people, what did they do themselves, do they save the girls being raped every day in the suburbs of Sindh. Did they even try to stop the honor killings being done in kpk? Do they even know how women are treated in Baluchistan? In accordance, what did we do?
So easily people are able to say ‘IS MULK KA KUCH NAI HO SAKTA’ ‘IS MULK MAIN KON HAI SUANANAY WALA’. Who is responsible for all this? Us. The country or state isn’t responsible for what happens, it’s the people. It’s easy to play the blame game and sneak out of scene but it takes courage to take the blame and stand up. It is us who failed to keep up the promise of bringing happiness to the homeland. To all those people saying ‘IS MULK NE DIYA HEE KIA HAI’ Bhai what have you given to the country? We don’t know the price of freedom yet that is the reason we find it easy to say things like these and complaint 24/7.
But on the brighter side ignorant and literates are not equal as said by the HOLY QURAN. I see painful captions full of feelings from fellows of Zainab, I see people of Qasur standing up for justice for the 12 angels who were killed in similar assaults. Humanitarian activists playing their role, celebrities , students and all those who have even a little bit idea of the pain is asking for justice on their parts. We surely need to do more, maybe that can’t be done now but later?  
We can stop acting as idiots and stop bringing same people into power despite of knowing they can’t do nothing other than gaining their self-interest, suck the blood of nation and destroy the national economy; integrity and security. PAKISTAN AND PAKISTANIS can do wonders. Let’s not go every word of awakening into waste and spread the word let’s bring the actual CHANGE into force, lets CHANGE ourselves.
For once keep your personal benefits behind and think of our beloved country, think of fellow humans and think of all the children like Zainab calling out for us. ALLAH HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES. Ignorant leaders are written in the fate of ignorant nations. Let us imagine to which religion and country we belong? The ones whose leaders are best, who could ever exist. And then the creator ALLAH, who keeps the rights of His creation prior to His own. How will we ever face Him on the day of justice?
