Nagwa Malik's Naked Thoughts

Let's talk about it as it has become an old habit and a norm...what to really do when someone asks you Help someone get a job. What is the right response and the right way to help someone looking for a job

Why does Islam forbid arranged marriages and then forbid dating?I'll try to explain it through the modern dating scenarios.

The display of ingratitude, rudeness and inferiority has been on during Eid as well highlighting now people have stopped practising social etiquette and goodwill and how people have lost all meaning of Eid.People's egos and complexes have taken over and overridden religious norms and etiquette. We are witnessing the death of goodwill, gratitude, common sense and basic social manners

LANGUAGE: URDUOur people are destroying this country with their own hands with the increasing trend of lack of commitment, the dishonesty, the haram khori, the vulgarity, the shamelessness, the victim bashing...this is a dead nation with no conscience. A country on its last legs.

I've talked about healthy weight abd weight loss many times but this new skeletal famine filled look that people are going for must be addressed

SLLet's rant on the sh@ttiness of desis

Things I've dedicated podcast episodes to years ago are still hot topics, simply because things haven't changed for the better. So, let's revisit them.

Let's look at the debate between Huxley and Orwell on the two dytopian worlds and see which model applies where and how comparing the West to Pakistan

Weight loss obsession on a new high: anorexia to malnutritionWhatsApp finally doing the exoected: wanting to remove encryption in today's age where privacy violations are a new trend..talk about throwing common sense and etiquette that was also the law oit the window.All.apps are now encroaching upon our privacy knowing fully we'll our devices are our identities, our workspace and our livesMore and more people are contemplating going back to living offline and removing themselves from social media, removing their social media.Trump breaking the law has upset the applecart but the truth is the West was always breaking the lawSlandering founders of our nation and insulting women is the new norm.And more trends that arent trendy or trending. Food quality, supplements etc

Hear me out on the new policies of Pakistan govt, NEPRA and solar system owners...then tell me if they are not committing blasphemy.

In this want for a positive narrative we are endorsing fascism, dictatorship, violations of our rights and are digging our own graves...literally. All the women in Pakistan are being insulted, assaulted and violated but let's applaud it

Let's now dive into details about how France has continued to manipulate its former colonies, the Francophonie, and how and why the African countries united against France. Let's see how successful they are and compare it to our govt and what our govt is doing right now.

Corruption key points: deliberate shortage of water, fuel, gas ans foodDeliberate shortage of energy/light when Pakistan govt has more electricity than it needs but we face unscheduled power outages every two hours.Food leased to GCC, KSA. Farms snatched by army and govt.IMF contribution to elite capture and unstable volatile state.

Why does india want a part in the negotiations with Iran? Is it just blind jealousy or does it want to be part of the hyena pack?

CORRECTION: Iran delegation flight name is Minab-168 (I said 165)The US and Israel aren't open to negotiations...no, they have other ideas in mind and are using a call for negotiations to execute that plan...in my opinion at least.

I have tried to put in order a summary of the attack on Iran by the US till date, including the recent violation of the ceasefire and Pakistan's true role in this whole charade. I hope it helps everyone collect their thoughts and clear any confusion and catch up on the whole scenario.

Let's just lay it out there: where do Pakistanis stand? Principle? No. So ehy? What are their priorities?

Let'sjust say it out loud: the desi ghareeb Mentality That doesn't go away.

In case I failed to mention it, let's talk a little about the 28th amendment, and move on to the BS war, the BS tax in Punjab, the BS laws and the BS of the European countries

Certain thoughts that I felt one needed to revisit as they appear small and unimportant but are in fact very important

There is a very obvious narrative fabrication going on and the same old scapegoating but veteran anysrs seem to be falling for this trap...my take on why Larijani was killed: one being that he was automatically a target immediately after being announced...

I have done So Many episodes on this in various different ways but some things don't change.This is not just social etiquette but it degines your class, your background and your character. This is not just etiquette but a religious ruling.

Let's face it, there are certain people who deserve to be killed: scammers, robbers, house invaders, and frauds. The kind of loss and mental strain they impose upon others cannot be compensated especially in our country where the law enforcement abd government are always at the back of all these crimes. Human trafficking and drug trafficking are also among the crimes whose perps must be killed. People who think it iscfun to see if they can gsvk others , if they can cause others harm or loss, people who think it's fun to see how they can getvaway with causing pain must be killed because it means there is something wrong with their brain: these are the kind of people who set nations on fire if they become powerful like the US govt and the pak army and govt or the British govt. Such dangerous people need to be gotten rid of before they become a danger to the whole world.

The irony of priorities and greed. We are dealing with a handful of narcissistic retards. Let's try and see where things stand, and how many days this particular war will go on before a fork comes in the road.Let's see if we can predict the ways if the demented

This story or justice and Betrayal continues but while we're ahead,let's not get carried away with the narratives and be misled. Let's not forget what the real story is as it unfolds in front of us. Hunting dogs at the end are hunting dogs, and there are things they cannot do without endorsement of their superiors. How can one forget the simple obvious facts staring us in the face? Nawaz Sharif is extremely cunning and he seems to have always been successful in diverting his acts of crime from himself

It is now crucial point to see whose man is actually in place: Khomeini's loyalists or the US plant. This will bevaeen by the parliament and the president's decision to hold the strait or open it. But at least the kool.aid has been washed off, and eyes are open as to who the real evil is in this world.NOTE: in case it wasn't clear, the 9 people killed in karachi were shot by the American consulate security.

The joint planned attacks on Iran and Afghanistan by the US and Its army in Pakistan...the retaliation and the holy month of Ramadan.

As the 9th day of Ramadan begins, thought I should share some thoughts. Wonder if you're feeling the same...May you all have a blessed Ramadan. Ameen.

Today I will try to string together the otherwise webbed out details into one shirt sweet connection. I will also try to explain my running theme using its correct term: imperial boomerang.

A rumour circulating now re plans to deviously shift Imran Khan to the UK and forge a deal to fool the public begs the question, didn't we already all wo der if this was their plan? Are they asking for a green signal from the public by publicising their plans or do thry know we expected this all too obvious ploy and decided it didn't matter, just like how our mandate didn't matter?

How my perspective as a former ex-pat born abroad and twice or thrice returned to Pakistan differs from one who has always lived in Pakistan. Listen to the second half and towards the end to understand the ploy, the reason behind the police force offending elected ministers.

The youth Wing of PatI and the public have decided to stage a sit in protest demanding the release of Inran Khan as his treatment gets deliberately delayed again.

The chain of events have served to strengthen our doubts that Imran Khan's health is the cause of a deliberate and criminal act on the part of the govt and the authorities. This leads to ongoing concern as they still do not give him access to his own doctors and now make a move to send him to Al Shifa Trust Hospital. What are their intentions? I think that much has become vividly clear to us as the world is up in arms but the authorities aren't listening. This is the last chance for us as a collective body of people to come out, call a nationwide protest, without waiting for the political actors to stage their dharna or their rallies. This must be a pure revolt by the people. A revolt by the people is the only thing that can topple this government, and they know it, which is why they keep leading people by the nose, making them wait for 'calls' from politicians. This must be an organic surge, an explosion by the people if we want the results we are hoping for. And mark my words when i say this is our last chance.

Let's focus on the things that matter and not the trivial

What to do when you realise you don't have to prep for Ramadan because your lifestyle is already much the same? And the way time whizzes by we even get the deep cleaning before time so that age old ritual of deep cleaning just before Ramadan which we did when young doesn't apply anymore.

The kitchen and social media debate: In part 2 we will be talking about the actual trends, kitchen habits, consumerism and social media and how to make them beneficial for Ramadan and afterwards for the rest of the year in changing our routines and lifestyle

Our whole life has become one unending battle of survival which is probably why Ramadan is getting more and more difficult to go through with the required balance. But that is precisely why we should go back to the basics, to get that vibe back, to get thevstrength to practice the game of balance, to make that extra effort.

Basant and blasts...this division was deliberate, yes, but those who knowingly still decided to fall into the trap are equally to blame. This dead nation then wonders why it's screwed. But interestingly the govt and army practically confessed that they were the culprits behind the Isl blasts.

Two completely different and random thoughts. 1. A thought I have been remarking on : stunted Growth in Pakistan and 2. Thank God for digital footprint when you're a writer who has completely forgotten your own publications on newspapers and journals, Web forums and magazines

Privileges apparently don't only matter in the real.wotld but on social media as well. It was to be expected, but the irony isn't lost on us. A recent example is Nizamsni, born to celebrities and with a privileged background but I guess how he uses it to highlight the woes of the underprivileged matter?

Here are some habits trending among lunatics that makes one think we are the ones going mad.

There is only one way to teach your opponents a lesson: push back and keep them down. It's a psychological fact that when you strike back the fear of being struck stops the perpetrator. Confronting your attacker strikes fear. When your own lawmakers break the law and when your own govt is corrupt then credibility is lost, so statements and news have no value. But one can use it to our advantage. Also, wisdom lies in knowing when you've made a statement, you have done enough, and it's okay to change your strategy.

We need to wake up and smell thebfoul odour that's our lufe and future. Those who are Agnostic and those who believe in God, both are right now floundering in their realisation of powerlessness and helplessness but both are still not waking up from la la land. And we can achieve nothing until and unless we gather our wits about us and begin to take real action. Personal is political, people.

People are suddenly coming up with wild pronunciations towords that make no sense whatsoever. Google is free, people, please use it and fix your new fangled pronunciations. And stop correcting people who are actually pronouncing those words correctly.

When does hospitality culture turn toxic? After a long time I'm obliged to reiterate a subject matter I've talked many episodes ago for many episodes...it was practically a series. But I'm sad to say despite the change in times, the financial strains and the social decline moral decline is still at an all high and it still begins at home, starting from blurring the lines between relationships and considering everything your birthright. The blatant shamelessness has sped up the degradation of the moral fiber of our society. This needs to be addressed urgently now more than ever because this is the cause of the breaking up of family units. Why resentments and grudges come in between families and why family systems are no longer close knit...

The way the terms feminine energy, feminine vibes, feminist, gender discrimination etc are thrown there seems to be a deliberate move to erase the original meaning behind these terms. Just like how a pagan rite and festival gets a make over and becomes Christmas, Easter, valentine or Halloween, now redefining terms such as equality, gender equality, feminine energy etc is worked on very hard by the western world their governments, system and media. The brainwashing never ended. And because of global Village, this dangerous poisoning of young minds is now not limited to the western audience, but has spread globally. Again, this isn't new, the first global poisoning of minds begsn during colonialism and we are still reaping the results of that.

Are we cartoon characters living in Disney world or are we fictitious chaeacters of Warner Brothers? What is the uS and its European allies doing? With such bad B grade scripting and cringy displays of unrealistic show of unrealistic power, who are they fooling except their own brainwashed population? Iran protests? Doomsday plane...wtf are they playing at? Who is the audience meant to be if this very silly third class show?

If you want to go down that path of resolutions, here's one: rethink your character and personality. Let's bring back basic manners and etiquette. Make it a daily resolution. And make it a Ramadan resolution. Make it a life time resolution.

There is a privilege granted to Muslim women that no force on earth can undo, and thatvis her choice of dressing and her choice of covering up. Anyone who encroaches upon her personal space or who tries to make her conform to their form of dressing can ve charged for sexual harassment or even assault.

This question is crucial for those who deny the existence of God: As people who believe they see in control and have the power over life and death, what's their contribution towards the human cause? What have you brought to the table? Where's your accountability on Palestine?
