Friday, October 9, 2026 / Author: Mushk (Age 24) / Location: Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi / Time: 7:36 PM We survived the full week grind, but the universe had one last weird trick. The pick-up lane at 1:45 PM was complete chaos because a stray cat had somehow climbed onto the roof of a parked van and refused to come down unless someone fed it a piece of a chicken roll. Laiba came out of the gate, saw a crowd of intense O-Level students trying to negotiate with a feline, and just started laughing. The tension from the mock practicals completely melted.
