Hello hello leap day

This was the one of a couple of things which I was looking forward to do this time 🥺🥺

Possibly physical shop might be temporally closed for a while...?
I am really good at taking bad timings. 🥺

Finally could see Twitter after a long time, then saw the detail of the news.
Didn't know the police who negotiated to mobs was even a female police. Wow.

Shani on X:
"ASP Syeda Shehrbano Naqvi, has been recommended for the prestigious Quaid-e-Azam Police Medal - which is the highest gallantry award for law enforcement in Pakistan. 🇵🇰👏🏻👏🏻 hats off #SharhebNoNaqvi What Happened: ASP Shehrbano Naqvi rescued a woman from a charged crowd in Lahore… https://t.co/DbI4xxVCkP"

@aamirbilal Wow, it's exactly Japanese ver of Moleskine, not Daiso's clone ones 😮 Interesting.
Now I also back to your question 😂

@SiR_GameZaloT 🤷‍♀️🥲

After for more than 10 days BANned of former bird social media, I finally remembered the 🧵, left a small message that I am still alive.

When making a plan for Lahore, nice musical events are announced at Islamabad and Karachi. When making a plan for Karachi, nice musical events are announced at Islamabad and Lahore. Why is that.
And sab se pehele, why every event's holding announcement here is always ALWAYS too close date.
(getting seriously irritated)

@aamirbilal If this is the one you are talking about, it's actually not that bad as clone of Moleskine notebook. Even for the fountain pen.
(Well, no answer for your "why" tho 😜)

I myself love to wear clothes or dupatta Urdu poetry on it with Nastaliq Calligraphy, brought a few this time too. I hope they don't react like that to Nastaliq, even if they don't understand what it's written properly.

However, would better to think carefully what to wear especially in Lahore this time.
(With concerning about the situation itself where more unnecessary considerations are required.)

btw, I still can't connect Twitter properly in daily basis though, how could they keep making statements on Twitter... 🤔

"Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi, a former advisor to the prime minister on religious affairs said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the men in the crowd, rather than the woman, should have been the ones to apologise."

Why the innocent woman mistakenly victimized had to make apology.

Also happened to have an unexpected happy momentary encounter on the street today. I'm so happy he could find me in a crowd. Actually I brought some souvenirs for him, but still missed the timing to inform him of my arrival and surprise him. We need to arrange the actual reunion. 😊

Anyway, I could be given this book from the author shb. It was a promise between he and I. If I would be able to visit there again, I would get it. 😊

ویسے قسمت قسمت ہی ہوتی ہے، اس بات سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا۔

Unintentionally but trailed every path which went wrong before. Found small but certain pieces in the pathes which shows I wasn't wrong, I kept doing right.
However it won't make things right anymore, but it needed to be found for me to have right confident.
On the other hand, because of it, I can only curse how they went wrong like this.

بارش ٹھیک ہے پر سردی تھیک نہیں۔ آج یہاں ٹوکیو سے سردی ہے اور میرے پاس کوئی گرمی کپڑے نہیں 😹

@ata88atta لگتا ہے کہ اس چیز پہلے سے زیادہ ہو رہا ہے۔

@DigiVoyager However, I am a bit surprised cause they haven't grown more than my pessimistic predictions. Hence, I still think there is a hope for the further future, with many young voters there. As for the nearly future, not sure though.
Wishing that you people not to give up. My country looks still somehow okay for now, but the future is hopeless cause youth have lost interest in politics totally for decades, and it's already only for the rulers' and powers' world here. So...

@aamirbilal In Urdu literature, there're plenty of hidden deep metaphors and backgrounds between the lines. So, it might also help you find more meanings in it. Maybe, possibly.

@aamirbilal Actually I see this ghalat several times here. It happens here in the place of non-arabic letter's. Though, this time, I got this from... errrr emmmm..... a sort of representative body of some country (whispering). Well, non-native stuff just did copy & paste from somewhere I assume tho.

Last day to roam around the Tokyo with my Pakistani sister while her stay in Japan. Went to Asakusa where is famous tourist spot and is also near my current place. We got fortune oracles in Sensoji temple. I got 大吉 (excellent luck), yay. Had some Japanese street foods there, went to Japan's oldest amusement park Hanayashiki. She got a neat beautiful second hand Kimono and an Obi belt and so happy.
After that, headed to the Ameyoko bazar in Ueno, then went to my regular Pakistani dhaba. 😊
