Kawway is the Urdu word for crows. نئے سرے سے حساب سارے Karachi's crows are a noisy bunch. They like to sit on power lines and chatter loudly at passersby. We're friends talking about life and living and how this world works. We're crows from Karachi dropping truths, ideas, opinions, and words that fester in our brains and desperately need an escape. All of this is waiting for you to pick up; or not. It's up to you. sabahatquadri.substack.com

Oct 19, 2025Just as it’s been a mask-off moment for the Global North with Trump at the helm, India’s mask-off moment has been thanks to Modi. The crows got together to discuss moving on from 7 May.
Kawway comprises myself, Rahila Ashraf, and Quratulain Maqbool. We’re two generations of women in the workforce, from different backgrounds, with different worldviews, and a friendship forged in fire.
