Zaib, Sahir & Farrukh get together to try and shed some light on a pretty historic moment in Pakistan's political history in which a political party (#pti) that was largely sidelined through unprecedented measures utilized cliche mottos & technology to stage a fightback that would give most 'underdog stories' stiff competition! The guys also share the gravity of this story in #Pakistan history and how it presents several real-life lessons to be learned. Who doesn't love a great underdog story?!  Check out audio episodes on: Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Amazon Music Podbean Drawing Experts Instagram Video Episodes on YouTube #pakistan #imrankhan #pti #establishment #politics #pakistanpolitics #pakistanipodcast #urdupodcast #overseaspakistan #overseaspakistani #plmn #ppp #mqm #pakistanelectionresults #pakistanelection

Reeling from the shockwaves that were sent through the football world last week when #jurgenklopp announced he's leaving #liverpool at the end of the season, Zaib is back with the podcast to talk about the definition of success! Why is it that a man who has won 1 Premier League title, 1 Champions League, 1 FA Cup, and an EFL trophy is being spoken of in the same breath as the likes of multiple winners Pep or Sir Alex? Why is the departure of this man so desperately hard on the fans? Why are pundits, writers, and journalists speaking so highly of this man? As a typical cursory fan would say, "What has he done?" Are titles the true barometer of success? Anything but is failure? I think for far too long fans and supporters in general, have been led to believe that subconsciously without question. In this episode, Zaib offers a perspective!

This weekend marked the 4th anniversary of the events that transpired at the Capitol Hill in Washington DC on January 6th, 2020. Last year, on May 9th, wide protests broke out in Pakistan at the arrest of former Prime Minister #imrankhan which resulted in several state-owned properties (predominantly managed by the armed forces) being damaged, attacked, and hounded by protestors. Having seen several "experts" & "analysts" over the socials carrying out lazy parallels between the two largely unrelated events, and calling for an increase in political targeting & victimization of #pti, Zaib returns to address a topic that he has tried to avoid for over a year or so. In addition to trying to analyze the two incidents and highlighting the nuance & context behind the two events (two key & emphasized words from the episode), Zaib also tries an explain the reason behind his lack of engagement on this particular topic.

Very rarely has the Full Quorum of "experts" gathered to talk about a subject they're, perhaps, equally good and extremely well versed in! Zaib, Zain, Navaid, and Sahir gather to talk about one of their favorite movies and a cult classic in "Andaz Apna Apna"! A special episode that dives into the 1994 film that completes it's 30 years in 2024 so what better way to kick off the New Year! All share their memories associated with the movie, memes that are commonly used, and the sheer brilliance and shithousery that is continues to make the movie an absolute legend in the #bollywood movie buff circles!   Enjoy as the Drawing Room Experts reel in the New Year with a hilarious discussion Check out audio episodes on: Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Amazon Music Podbean Drawing Experts Instagram Video Episodes on YouTube #andazapnaapna #bollywood #aamirkhan #salmankhan #movies #memes #podcast

Back with the 2nd Part to dive into the (more) difficult conversation around the happenings in and around the #israelpalestineconflict This is the part that mainly concerns and comes from the perspective of Muslims that doesn't happen much (unfortunately). Zaib & Sarosh dive into the ethical, moral, and philosophical stance on the conflict, engagement of war, and whether we are aligned with the ultimate truth from an Islamic perspective. The conflict has turned into a "team sport" where we must "support the team" and try not to be the downer that raises some "good points for the opposition" and in the process completely escape and abandon the truth! Must listen for anyone not willing or looking to have a difficult conversation about an arguably not-so-complicated issue.

Zaib welcomes back Sarosh to the Podcast to tackle a rather controversial but critical conversation around the happenings in the Middle East concerning the outrageous events on and post-Oct 7 (in the most recent episode at least) In the 1st part of this 2-parter conversation on Palestine & Israel, Zaib & Sarosh try and tackle difficult conversations that are usually externalized around the conflict and how frustrating (at times) can one be at the sheer ignorance or merely a lack of effort shown at conducting a proper assessment on the happenings Pre & Post October 2023. This part nervously builds up to the point which sets up part 2 of the discussion and some heated conversation around the conversations that need to happen 'internally'. #palestine #israel #unitedstates #europe #hamas #idf #levant  Check out audio episodes on: Spotify Apple Podcast Google Podcast Amazon Music Podbean Drawing Experts Instagram Video Episodes on YouTube

Zaib is back talking about #U2 and this time reviewing the groundbreaking #U2UV live at the #sphere in #lasvegas Zaib covers the build-up to the concert, the negativity surrounding it, and the magnificent structure that is The Sphere!

With so much happening around the wrestling business over the last week or so or months, for that matter, especially around someone like CM Punk, how could and how long the podcast resist?!   Zaib is back with another episode talking about #CMPunk and the fallout from his firing from #AEW in September this year and his sensational return to a #WWE screen in November at #survivorseries. Zaib talks about his thoughts on Punk's run in AEW, how did the promotion felt overall, what it has missing, and what challenges lie ahead of it! Not just that, what challenges does WWE have ahead?

After a LOOOOONG gap, the boys are back (along with the pod itself!) We dive into the spillovers from the #iccworldcup2023 which concluded last week focusing on #pakistan ofcourse.

Zaib tries to comprehend his thoughts pertaining to the happenings during the last couple of weeks surrounding the unfortunate migrant ship capsizing off the coast of Greece & the 'catastrophic implosion' of Oceangate's Titan off the coast of Canada/US. Reeling from an opinion shared on an #instagram story about the relationship between the rich and poor and how the reaction to the Titan's imploding is reeking of 'envy' or 'rich bashing' for no reason, Zaib (tries to) collect his thoughts to articulate an intriguing and complex relationship Rate, subscribe, and follow the podcast!

Zaib & Zain get together to talk about Bono's autobiography called "Surrender - 40 Songs 1 Story" released in November last year. The book is a perfect insight into the life of the frontman, his songwriting inspirations, relationships, religion & God!   #bono #surrender #u2

Zaib dives (somewhat) deep into the idea, need, and triggers of the concept of Protest and the related violence. The episode also covers the ethical and moral standards around protesting and the idea of who should be making the rules of engagement when it comes to protests. #pakistan #protest #pti #may9th #imrankhanpti #politics

Zaib welcomes Aizaz back to the Podcast after a huge gap to talk about our experiences and expectations as the firstborns in their respective families. We delve into the complexities faced by the eldest child and sibling and explore the unique challenges and expectations placed upon the firstborn, from shouldering responsibilities to setting examples for younger siblings. We discuss the emotional journey of the eldest, the pressure to excel, and the delicate balance between leadership and personal growth. Gain insights into the joys and struggles of being the trailblazer in the family hierarchy and discover how these experiences shape relationships within the sibling dynamic. #pakistan #karachi #pakistanipodcast #expatstories #expats #pakistanexpats #pakistaniamerican #pakistanicanadian #northamerican #pakistaniimmigrants #immigrants

Zaib welcomes back the OG stirrer of storms, Sarosh Jafri, to talk about the importance of history and its restoration in the context of the 100th year marking the demolition and desecration of Al-Baqi Cemetery. Both try and wrap their heads around why the site itself is so important and how could anyone argue for their desecration and destruction to fulfill such a shallow argument in favor of so-called theocracy.

A Podcast of 2 Halves -  First up, Zaib has his say on the Sh*tposting that he sees on his socials about Babar Azam, strike rates, "aggressive" cricket & "failures".  Does Babar's strike rate/run rate causes  Pakistan games? Does aggressive cricket = titles? As #Giannis Antetokounmpo recently put it, is losing always an equal to failure? Hear what Zaib has to say about that. Lastly, Zaib talks about a recent conversation with a friend about a possible ethical/moral dilemma.  #babarazam #pakistancricket #pakistan #cricket #pakvnz #worldcup #england #india #newzealand #captaincy

Forgoing the "immense quality" of a tiny office desk production, Zaib gets off his high horse to record in a hotel room with a laptop camera (like that makes a huge difference) to get an episode out. In this one Zaib talks about the political and economic spectrum of ideas (or lack thereof) in Pakistan and how it is set to muddying the water and reduces the discussions to talking points and flashy news articles. Is there a "Left" or a "Right" in Pakistan? Is there a thing such as social and/or political conservatism and liberation? Listen to find out! #pakistan #ppp #pti #plmn #politics #left #right #conservatives #liberals #politicalspectrum #economics

A new U2 record comes up and (hopefully) the podcasting wheel starts to churn out some eps in the weeks to come (fingers crossed!) Zaib & Zain dive into U2's latest offering, a reimagining of their cult and unequivocal hits, namely "Songs of Surrender". The guys share their thoughts on the album, the need for it, whether it goes against the band's POV of not looking back, or whether this starts the age of U2's heritage act phase. All of that and a track-by-track assessment of the 40 songs reimagined! #u2 #songsofsurrender #bono #theedge #larrymullenjr #adamclayton #surrender #newalbum #music #dublin #reimagined

Zaib summons Sarosh back to the podcast to talk about philosophy and that it is constantly at odds with "people of science". Zaib also explores the idea of relative morality and how it plays a role in the idea of identity in the modern world. Yet another deep and meaningful discussion! #philosophy #relativemorality #science #identity

This one is from the archives that never made the cut for 2022 for various reasons. Originally recorded around the time Australia was touring Pakistan in early 2022, Zaib rehashes an old EP for, you know, content's sake! Because here we are... having a similar discussion about why are there empty stadiums for the New Zealand tour of Pakistan. Zaib talks about the value of stadium experiences, and why there seems to be a diluted/muted interest in cricket and/or test matches, especially in the context of Karachiites. #pakistancricket #karachicricket #nationalstadiumkarachi #newzealandcricket #pakistancricket #testcricket
