Oh no, not at all. However, I don't think they are required to be working 996 and to generally work 'harder' due to 'competition' (in the sense related to IT and Silicon Valley).

Urdu is a language which I speak and admire - for the reason that the Hindi-Persian mix along with the Persian syntax/alphabet gives it the ultimate flexibility. You can capture any sound/accent in Urdu. What I mean is you to take
