Osman Khalid Butt rants about the rain
Actor Osman Khalid Butt took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday to share his signature blend of wit and weather commentary, this time on the rainy season in Islamabad. "The thunder, the cool breeze, petrichor, rain in Islamabad makes me believe in love," he wrote, before taking a sharp, humorous turn. "Traffic during rain makes me believe in natural selection." The post quickly resonated with Islamabadis and beyond, capturing the emotional and logistical duality of the city's monsoon season, beloved for its moody skies and fragrant earth, cursed for its traffic jams and waterlogged roads. While many fans replied with memes and their own rainy day photos, others echoed OKB's observation, pointing out the lack of city preparedness for even moderate rainfall. On Friday, intermittent rainfall swept across Islamabad and Rawalpindi, offering brief spells of relief from the heat. The Pakistan Meteorological Department had forecast more showers and thunderstorms over the weekend, particularly in upper Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad. The rain cooled temperatures but also caused localised flooding and traffic snarls in major areas such as Blue Area, F-6, and Faizabad. Commuters reported extended delays due to water accumulation and malfunctioning traffic signals, a seasonal frustration that has come to define urban rain. Osman's online presence continues to strike a chord with fans, blending humour, and relatable observations. In April, the star sparked a wave of early-internet nostalgia with a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), writing: "I miss Orkut and waking up one random day to find someone's written you a beautiful testimonial." The post resonated deeply with millennials who came of age during Orkut's heyday, prompting an outpouring of memories. Fans reminisced about the platform's simplicity, sincerity, and lost sense of community. "Good old days," many commented, while others noted how their generation uniquely experienced the shift from Orkut to Facebook and Instagram.

'Marry your best friend'
In a world of swipe-right love and viral divorces, leave it to the ever-wise and ever-real Nadia Jamil to remind us what enduring romance actually looks like. On Friday, the actor, activist, and all-around icon dropped a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter) that read like a Bollywood screenplay, but with more soul, fewer dance numbers, and a whole lot of wisdom. "We were 14 and 15," she began, immediately pulling readers into a teenage love story that almost didn't survive family disapproval, long-distance years, and even a global pandemic. She paints the early contrast: she, an "emotional romantic artist" from a liberal home; he, a "stoic finance whizz kid" from a conservative background. All parents were against it. But love had other plans. Nadia waited to marry her husband for fifteen years, longer than most celebrity marriages. When the two finally tied the knot, their wedding marked the start of a relationship built on resilience, shared experiences, and gradual growth. "The marriage in itself is such a story," she wrote. "It's had its ups and its downs. We are both very strong personalities, but we both held on." Nadia, in her trademark mix of honesty and grace, doesn't shy away from the hard bits. She talks about the distance that crept in when she moved to Cambridge with the kids and he stayed in Lahore to care for family. She shares how their bond was tested by cancer, grief, financial loss, and parenting across continents. But also how those very battles made them grow together. According to Nadia, the secret is not just love but respect; it's knowing when to hold space for each other. It's flexibility, emotional growth, and the quiet power of honouring your partner's evolution. And yes, there's a happy ending (and a new beginning): their eldest son is now all set to get married, and Nadia is officially a mother-in-law now, to a "fantastic young woman," she beamed. As she coaches other couples now, Nadia sees echoes of her own story in theirs. And her biggest piece of advice is to marry your best friend, the one who grows with you, the one who learns with you, the one who stays, especially when things get hard.
