Solar Net Billing in Pakistan: My Panels, My Bills, and My Trust Issues
Solar Net Billing in Pakistan: My Panels, My Bills, and My Trust Issues
If you live in Pakistan, you’ve likely mastered the art of the “unplanned pivot.” We pivot when the gas pressure vanishes, we pivot when a sudden road closure turns a 10-minute drive into a scenic tour of the city, and we certainly pivot when the monthly electricity bill arrives looking like a high-score on an arcade game. Two years ago, I decided to stop playing defense. Somewhere between opening a bill that made me question my life choices and hearing “Bhai, solar laga lo” so often it started feeling like a personal mantra, I joined the movement.

Tax Filing Stress Is Real — And Somehow Worse Than a Root Canal
Tax Filing Stress Is Real — And Somehow Worse Than a Root Canal
Every year, I tell myself I’ll approach tax season calmly. I’ll stay organized, keep my receipts in sensible places, and glide through the process like a responsible adult who absolutely has their life together. And every year, reality shows up with a stack of statements, missing invoices, and a calculator that somehow produces a different answer every time I press the equals button.

Baked Ziti — a Family Favorite: The Champion of My Kitchen 🥇
Baked Ziti — a Family Favorite: The Champion of My Kitchen 🥇
Hello there! Welcome back to the kitchen — or at least, the thoughts spilling out of mine. WordPress.com threw out a writing prompt the other day: “What food would you say is your specialty?” Now, that’s a loaded question. I’ve made some genuinely yummy things in my time, but if I have to name a champion, a true, consistent winner that brings the whole house running, it has to be my baked ziti — a family favorite.

For the Love of Sugar: Why Giving Up the Sweet Stuff Feels Like a Breakup
For the Love of Sugar: Why Giving Up the Sweet Stuff Feels Like a Breakup
I’m going to level with you: I have a serious, passionate, and perhaps slightly obsessive relationship with sugar. This intense sweet tooth has made navigating the world of low-carb living particularly challenging, specifically my ongoing battle with sugar addiction and keto diet principles. Not the polite, occasional kind of relationship, but the sort where I know I should break up, but the pull is just too strong. If love is a battlefield, then my kitchen pantry is definitely ground zero, and sugar is the highly-attractive-but-terrible-for-me ex I keep inviting back.

Imran Khan Tribute: A Birthday Salute to Pakistan’s Beacon of Hope
Imran Khan Tribute: A Birthday Salute to Pakistan’s Beacon of Hope
Today, October 5, as the calendar marks Imran Khan’s birthday, I want to share a tribute — not as a distant admirer, but as someone who has walked those protest lines, felt the electric air of his speeches, and carried hope in his name. This is my Imran Khan tribute, and a heartfelt thank you to a man who changed Pakistan — and changed me.

Everyday AI Use: How I’ve Made It Part of My Life
Everyday AI Use: How I’ve Made It Part of My Life
I never thought I’d say this, but my daily routine now involves a colleague who doesn’t sleep, doesn’t complain, and doesn’t steal the last slice of pizza — Artificial Intelligence. AI has quietly snuck into my work, hobbies, and even casual problem-solving, becoming less of a novelty and more of a sidekick. And honestly? I’m not mad about everyday AI use becoming a part of my life.

So… I Got Cats (Yes, Really)
So… I Got Cats (Yes, Really)
If you had told me last year that I’d be writing a blog post about my two Persian cats, I would’ve laughed and said, “Wrong guy — I’m a dog person.” Yet here we are, seven months deep into a cat-filled household, and not only am I writing this post… I’m smiling as I do. Say hello to Cinnamon and Sugar, our two triple-coat Persian cats. Yes, they’re fluffy. Yes, they shed like it’s a competitive sport. And yes, I love them. (There. I said it.)

Keto, Coconut & Controversy: My One-Month, 11 KG Transformation
Keto, Coconut & Controversy: My One-Month, 11 KG Transformation
Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’m not a nutritionist, personal trainer, or someone who can give up bread without having a small identity crisis. But after one month on the keto diet, I’ve lost 11 kilograms. And yes, I’m just as surprised as you are.

Why I Switched from a Classic Theme to a Block Theme on Zohair’s Blog
If you’ve visited Zohair’s Blog recently and thought, “Huh, something feels different around here…” — you’re absolutely right. After much deliberation, fiddling, and several cups of coffee (okay, maybe more than several), I decided to switch the blog’s theme from Typology — a beautiful and elegant classic theme — to Twenty Twenty-Five, one of WordPress’s latest block themes powered by the Site Editor.
