Assalamualaikum and Welcome! 🇵🇰

If you’ve somehow landed here, then first of all, thank you. This little blog is part of a bigger journey I’ve been on, and I’m truly glad you’re here.

My name is Atif. I’m a software developer based in Sweden, but in my heart and roots, I’ll always be a Pakistani. That connection never fades. No matter where life takes us, there’s something about Pakistan that stays within us. The sounds, the food, the language, the humor, the chaos, it’s all home.

Why This Blog Exists

I created PakStream as a simple tool for myself. I just wanted a clean way to listen to Pakistani radio, catch up on local news, and follow my favorite YouTubers without jumping through broken links or pop-up nightmares.

But then something clicked:
Maybe I’m not the only one who misses this stuff.

That’s when I decided to open it up, and this blog is my way of telling that story, of sharing how this project started, where it’s going, and most importantly, hearing from you.

This isn’t just a blog about tech or media. It’s about belonging. It’s for people like me (and maybe you), who want to stay connected to Pakistan in some small but meaningful way.

Built with Vibes, Not Just Code

I won’t lie, this entire website is a product of what I call “vibe coding”. No corporate planning, no deadlines, just me, late at night, with chai, lo-fi music, and an itch to build something that felt real. That kind of coding where you lose track of time, because you’re building something that matters to you.

It’s not perfect. But it’s honest. And built with love.

What to Expect Here

In this blog, I’ll be sharing:

• The story behind PakStream and how it started
• New features and updates as I add them
• Blog posts about nostalgia, culture, and life abroad
• Recommendations, radio stations, YouTubers, TV channels
• Messages from users like you who share feedback and ideas

If you’re looking to watch Pakistani TV channels live, check out our TV section where you can stream Urdu news and dramas online. We’ve also written about popular Pakistani YouTubers that every expat should follow.

It’s also a space to connect with like-minded Pakistanis abroad. If you relate to any of this, drop a comment, say hello, or share a suggestion. I genuinely read them all, and many of the features on the site are inspired by conversations I’ve had with people just like you.

Let’s Build Something Together

I may be running this solo, but I don’t want to build it alone.

So if you have a cool idea, or a favorite radio station, or a journalist you trust, let me know. PakStream is for all of us, and the best part is: it’s always growing.

Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you find something here that makes your day better, even if it’s just hearing a familiar voice from back home.

Once a Pakistani, always a Pakistani. 🇵🇰
No matter where we go, the roots stay strong.
