The Drawing Room Experts
If actual drawing room conversations were recorded, the result wouldn’t be too far off from what we deliver through this podcast. Join the ”drawingroomers” as they discuss everything under the sun and provide an honest opinion as Pakistani expats living in North America, the likes of which is hardly heard in the current podcast/media space.

Episode 130: Pakistan Wakes Up!
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
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?!

Episode 129: Definition of success ft. Jurgen Klopp
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
Sunday Feb 04, 2024
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!

Episode 128: January 6th v. May 9th
Sunday Jan 07, 2024
Sunday Jan 07, 2024
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.
Happy 2024, ya'll!

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!

Episode 126: Let’s talk about The Levant! Pt.2
Sunday Dec 24, 2023
Sunday Dec 24, 2023
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.

Episode 125: Lets talk about The Levant! (Pt. 1)
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
Wednesday Dec 20, 2023
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'.
