Your favourite tweeps?
@anaulhaq is the person who was my first inspiration. Then there’s this duo of
@mahobilli and @mahobila (now @SuspensedBila). Both are super awesome in their own way. @KashifAwan79 is a twitter buddy and I always enjoy his tweets. This list is long and I am missing out on literally hundreds of names that I follow and admire but generally humour and intellect is that lovely mixture that I look for in a tweep. Among media persons
@NadeemfParacha ,  @ZarrarKhuhro , @cyalm are amazing and there’s lots to be learnt from them specially when it comes to sarcasm.

What do you usually wear in daily life?

In my daily life, I am almost always outfitted in some sort of sweats or “elevated” lounge-wear, of course, this is weather permitting since I live in Pakistan so only a few months a year can I get away with this. In the hotter months, I am always in lawn kameezes with wide-leg trousers (shalwars are stifling) or some form of banyan/shorts combo (in my home lol).

Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?
