Extremely unnecessary and incorrect criticism. At many times I feel Tania’s ideas are criticised simply because she’s a young woman in a position where people don’t want her to succeed. Data has huge applications in early-warning systems for emerging clusters and interventions.

My first-of-many critiques of Shaadi season is that Naans need not be cut into quarters, as the artificial shape reduces the incentive to create proper Nawaalas, which in turn reduces the surface area available for absorption of Quorma and provides inadequate grip for Boti.

Pakistan is a unique country; coffee cafes open at 11 am, operate till 2 am; ranks among highest in heart disease & diabetes but wants dinner at midnight; and weddings show off going till late. This culture itself is corrupt. It needs discipline, not just the fiscal kind.
Khawaja Asif always had a view that markets needs to be closed early to save energy but closing restaurants by 8 or 10 is a joke. The industry has hardly recovered from covid & who eats dinner at 6 or 7? Shaadi halls were closing at 10 anyway. The move is only denting restaurants
