An ugly and unacceptable scene at the National Games football semifinal in Karachi. Moments after the Army–WAPDA match ended, players from both sides clashed violently at KPT Sports Complex. Army players celebrated aggressively in front of WAPDA’s bench, triggering a heated exchange that quickly turned into a full-blown fight. A player from WAPDA escalated the chaos by kicking an Army player, while several WAPDA players then stormed toward the referee over a disputed decision. The referee fled to the officials’ room, but players forced their way inside and allegedly assaulted him. Match Commissioner and officials will now submit a full report to POA and the Football Federation, with strict disciplinary action expected against players from both teams.

There is something about running on the road that a treadmill can never teach you. The road doesn't care if you're tired, if it's humid, if you've had a long day at work, or if you didn't sleep well. It simply demands you to keep moving. During last two years, I've run on empty roads before sunrise, sometimes on streets filled with traffic, flyovers that tested my strength, and stretches where the only sound I could hear was of me losing breath. Every run on the road has been different but every time I run on road, it reminds me that running is far more mental than physical. When you run on the road, you can't control everything. There are potholes, traffic lights, barking dogs, unexpected distractions, humidity, rain, headwinds. You have to adapt instead of complain. You must stop waiting for perfect conditions because progress rarely comes on perfect days. Road running has also taught me patience. You don't become a marathoner in a week. Every long run, every early alarm, every extra kilometer is an investment. There are no shortcuts, you need to be consistent. The biggest challenge is never the distance. It's the voice inside your head that tells you to stop. There were times when my mind wanted to quit but every time I chose to keep going, I finished the target only to feel more stronger, not just physically, but mentally. One thing I love about running on roads is that they constantly remind you to stay present. You have to watch where you step, be aware of traffic, adjust your pace, and make decisions every second. Running on road rewards focus and punishes distraction. It's a lesson that extends well beyond running. Another lesson is that the most challenging routes usually offer the greatest results. The steep climbs while running on bridges make your legs stronger. The long runs build the deepest confidence. Running on roads has also taught me that discomfort is temporary, consistency beats motivation, and growth begins the moment you choose not to quit. The roads of Karachi are more than training ground for me. They've seen me on my happiest mornings and my toughest days. These streets have quietly become my therapist, my teacher, and my coach. They've listened when I had no one to talk to, challenged me when I wanted to quit, and reminded me that no matter how chaotic life gets, the only way forward is one step at a time.
