  • Social media is sharing controversial opinions about desi culture

    What would be the most controversial, yet important take you have about desi society?

    A user on X posed this challenge to their followers, asking for opinions about every single aspect of desi society. Whether it is excessive body shaming, poor funeral etiquettes, division of household chores within family members, or wedding obsessions, desi social media users held back nothing, leaving us with some very blunt, but direly needed takes.

    Your wives are not unpaid house helpers. We wish more families would understand this.

    Please understand that funerals are a time when family members need to grieve. Instead of giving them space, desi family members end up doing the opposite which is tragic to witness.

    Teach your sons to be the kind of men your daughters would feel safe around.

    We hope more people start unlearning that talking about periods is a taboo.

  • PUBG addict found after stealing Rs65,000 from home

    PUBG addict found after stealing Rs65,000 from home

    Majid Rehman, a 13-year-old boy addicted to playing the game PUBG, was found on Thursday after he went missing while purchasing groceries.

    His father, Reham Mehmood, reported his son’s disappearance, stating that the boy left home with Rs65,000 rupees for monthly groceries but never returned.

    Police registered a kidnapping case and began to search for him.

    Rehman was found by a National Highways and Motorways Police (NH&MP) team in a vehicle during an inspection.

    Apart from other items, the police found a PUBG character’s costume.

    As Majid was questioned, he revealed that when he left home, he decided to hang out with his friends and spent the grocery money buying things that were of interest to him. He also talked about his liking for PUBG.

    According to DSP Changezi, parents’ neglect towards their children results in such incidents.

    PUBG is a widely played shooter game. However, it has been a part of several unfortunate or absurd incidents in Pakistan as well as around the world.

    PUBG addicts, mainly children, have inflicted self-harm or harmed others. Some tend to run away from home. In extreme cases, players have committed suicide or shot people.

    Boys from Nawan Kot and Kahna killed their family members in 2021 and 2022, respectively, under the the influence of the violent nature of the game. One boy even chased a member into the street while clad in the game’s character attire.

    Similarly, children have committed suicide after losing the game or getting bullied for it.

    Following several cases, the Lahore Police asked the higher authorities to ban the game.

    The Child Protection and Welfare Bureau (CPWB) created the “Mohafiz” app through which one can search and share information of cases of underprivileged, homeless children who run away from their homes in Punjab.

    Through the app, government institutions can also be reached in case of an emergency and citizens can report any disappearance or accidents involving children.

    According to Express Tribune, hundreds of children are present in various centres of Punjab including the CPWB in Lahore.
