**Bhai Yeh "Common Sense" Hai Ya "Common Nonsense"?**

Bhai yeh “common sense” hai ya “common nonsense”?

So apparently, Pakistan’s new plan to fix the economy is to literally ban mango exports because there weren’t enough for domestic VIPs to eat with their breakfast naan. Meanwhile, the price of a single onion is now higher than my monthly data package.

And get this – they’re celebrating because “load-shedding is over.” Of course it’s over, janab! The grid collapsed. That’s not an achievement; that’s a coma. My fridge is running on prayers and a backup inverter that sounds like a dying tractor.

“Please use common sense before exporting our mangoes!” – Asif, resident of Gulshan-e-Mayhem

“Common sense says if you turn off the entire country’s electricity for a photo op, it’s not ’energy crisis solved’.” – Fatima, Karachi (who can’t charge her phone to read this post)

“We have more ministers than we have teachers. That’s not common sense; that’s a sitcom.” – Bilal, Lahore (who just paid 500 rupees for a single tomato)

Bottom line: Common sense isn’t common in Pakistan. It’s a luxury item, available only on the black market near Nadra.
