Have you ever seen a freelancers meetup celebrate Mango Day with a strong WordPress community presence? 📷 On July 31, 2026, F3 Pakistan, in collaboration with Career Institute Faisalabad, organized its 5th Freelancers Meetup in Faisalabad, this time around Pakistan’s Mango Day. More than 60 people participated, including WordPress professionals, students, freelancers, business owners, and members of the wider Faisalabad community. We were also honored to welcome Rana Nasir Javed, Chief Traffic Officer Faisalabad; Mian Akmal Sahib, Senior Superintendent of Police RIB Faisalabad; and Jahangir Ashraf, a journalist from City41 News Channel, as Guests of Honor. Quilim Restaurant joined us as the official food partner and arranged the mango-themed food. WPKitchen served as Lead Organizer, Media Partner, and Sponsorship Coordinator. Although this was a broader freelancers meetup rather than an official WordPress meetup, many members of our local WordPress community participated. It was another nice opportunity to bring freelancers, WordPress professionals, students, and local leaders together. A community meetup with conversations, connections, and plenty of mangoes.

AI is changing the shape of freelancing, and flying cars could change the way we travel. Someone once said, "If you want to work on new ideas today, read old books."

A legend was born today. The legend, Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The birth of music itself. I love to listen his music while working, so I believe its right time to share this little part of my workday. I'm also curious: Do you listen to music while working? If yes, what do you listen to?

Lunch Giveaway #21 - Delivered -- Treat Time #21 was a little different from our usual giveaways. Sponsored by Rita Robles Loaiza, this edition had Alina Kakshapati select Hasina Hassan from Gilgit-Baltistan as the winner. Since Foodpanda does not operate in her area, Hasina kindly chose to share her lunch with Faizan Ashraf from Faisalabad, and we successfully delivered it to him. This experience reminded us that we need to keep our process flexible to make sure everyone can take part, regardless of their location. Foodpanda vouchers will remain our first choice wherever the service is available. In areas where Foodpanda does not operate, we may provide the lunch amount directly so the winner can buy lunch locally and share a photo and the invoice with us for transparency. Winners can also choose to share or forward their lunch to another community member, making the experience even more meaningful. Treat Time is more than a lunch giveaway. It’s about sharing food, supporting freelancers, and bringing the WordPress community closer together. ❤️ Lunch story published: wpkitchen.com/giveaway/cl2x/

Message of the day.

It's not just about personal achievements, but also about helping others grow. Still learning. Still contributing. Still building. ❤️
