Osman Khalid Butt rants about the rain
Actor Osman Khalid Butt took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday to share his signature blend of wit and weather commentary, this time on the rainy season in Islamabad. "The thunder, the cool breeze, petrichor, rain in Islamabad makes me believe in love," he wrote, before taking a sharp, humorous turn. "Traffic during rain makes me believe in natural selection." The post quickly resonated with Islamabadis and beyond, capturing the emotional and logistical duality of the city's monsoon season, beloved for its moody skies and fragrant earth, cursed for its traffic jams and waterlogged roads. While many fans replied with memes and their own rainy day photos, others echoed OKB's observation, pointing out the lack of city preparedness for even moderate rainfall. On Friday, intermittent rainfall swept across Islamabad and Rawalpindi, offering brief spells of relief from the heat. The Pakistan Meteorological Department had forecast more showers and thunderstorms over the weekend, particularly in upper Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Islamabad. The rain cooled temperatures but also caused localised flooding and traffic snarls in major areas such as Blue Area, F-6, and Faizabad. Commuters reported extended delays due to water accumulation and malfunctioning traffic signals, a seasonal frustration that has come to define urban rain. Osman's online presence continues to strike a chord with fans, blending humour, and relatable observations. In April, the star sparked a wave of early-internet nostalgia with a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), writing: "I miss Orkut and waking up one random day to find someone's written you a beautiful testimonial." The post resonated deeply with millennials who came of age during Orkut's heyday, prompting an outpouring of memories. Fans reminisced about the platform's simplicity, sincerity, and lost sense of community. "Good old days," many commented, while others noted how their generation uniquely experienced the shift from Orkut to Facebook and Instagram.
