How to snag that coveted blue badge on Twitter in Pakistan: A Tongue-in-Cheek Guide
Ah, the blue tick. The holy grail of Twitter in Pakistan. It's a mark of distinction, a status symbol that screams, "I've made it, folks!" But my friends, acquiring this elusive blue checkmark ain't exactly a walk in the park, especially in the land of mangoes and mountains.
Step 1: Master the Art of The Humblebrag
This is Pakistan, remember? Subtly isn't our strong suit. So, crank up the self-promotion! Tweet relentlessly about your achievements, real or perceived. Did you once win a neighborhood carrom tournament? Plaster it all over your feed! (Just don't get caught recycling last year's birthday party pics as a "huge award ceremony").
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.
Step 2: Befriend Every News Outlet (Even Your Aunty's Whatsapp Group)
The more your name gets thrown around, the better. Get creative! "Local Man Tweets About Making Toast, News at 11!" (Just make sure the news isn't about that time you accidentally set the kitchen on fire trying to make said toast).
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Step 3: The Power of Hashtags (#DesiTwitterTakeover)
Hashtags are your weapon of mass attention. But forget the generic ones. We're going full desi! #ChaiwalaOfTheYear #MangoMaster #DesiTwitterLegend. (Though, maybe avoid #GuyNextDoorUnlessYouActuallyAre because, well, you know...).
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.

Step 4: The Art of the Reply (Because Apparently Everyone Needs Your Two Cents)
See a trending topic? Dive right in! Even if it's about astrophysics and your knowledge is limited to that time you saw a shooting star after too many samosas. (Just remember, some Googling beforehand might prevent an epic online fail).
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
Step 5: Patience is a Virtue (Unless You Have a Sugar Daddy with a Twitter Account)
Look, Twitter might not shower you with a blue tick overnight. It's a waiting game. But fret not! Keep at it, and eventually, (or maybe if your aforementioned sugar daddy puts in a good word), you might just see that beautiful blue badge appear.
Remember, folks, this guide is firmly tongue-in-cheek. There are actual verification criteria set by Twitter, (which you should totally check out because following the rules is cool too). But hey, a little humor never hurt anyone, right? Now go forth and tweet your way to blue tick glory (or at least a few good laughs)!
