Good to see him grow, already at 140k, if he keeps bringing interviews like these he will get to 500k in no time. I still remember when he didn’t even have 10k.

found it interesting he also said he studied at a Parsi school

I have gained more knowledge from his podcasts than from school. Also check out his news channel PakistanNow: https://www.youtube.com/c/PakistanNowGlobal

He attended BVS Parsi School (Reza Shah House), which was also my alma mater for a few years when I was in Karachi many decades ago.
