Dinesh asks "What's my age, how many siblings do you have...
...what's your job, salary & your YouTube income".
You have asked some really personal questions.
Asalam-o-Alaikum my name is Zia Tabarak.
I hope you all are safe & sound in your homes.
A few days back I asked you all to drop your questions in a community post...
...and I'll try to answer those questions.
Since you all ask a lot of questions in the video comments...
...so I thought why not compile all of those questions...
...and share a Q&A video in this lock-down with you.
So without any delay let's start this.
The first question is which city's food do I like the most.
Karachi's food is the best food...
...but if we talk about other cities ...
... then Peshawar is the first that comes in my mind.
Because I really like the traditional food of Peshawar like Afghani Boti, Mutton Namkeen etc.
They're delicious & they have a very rich culture there.
Also I really like the Walled City of Lahore & it's vibe overall.
Otherwise every other city has their own charm & taste.
These were all my favorites that you asked.
I have a lot of questions so I'll try to answer them as fast as possible.
Debanjan asks where do I live in Pakistan.
I live in Karachi, Pakistan.
Anup Shinday asks "Bhai I'm from India. Since your ancestors were from India...
...what cities will you visit If you ever come here".
Yes my ancestors were from India.
My grandparents were from Lucknow & Sandila, UP.
If I ever visit India I'll first visit Matia Mahal of Delhi.
Because it's a very old food street.
My mother told me that my grandfather loved Tunday Kababi's kebabs.
They make Galawati Kebabs. My mothers make them too.
These are not easily available in market. At least not in Pakistan.
My mother makes them too & they're basically home-made here.
Ahmed Ali asks if I am a freelancer...
I work as a freelancer too but by profession I'm a Motion Graphics Designer.
And I work as a Senior Manager, Creative in a News Channel.
I also do freelance projects but not frequently now because of YouTube.
Because managing YouTube itself is a really hectic work & a full-time job.
But yes I do freelance work as well.
Anuradha asks "Show Vegetarian food of Pakistan as well".
Yes I have a video which I shot near my office.
Vegetarian food isn't available here as much as it is in India.
But we do have vegetarian food here.
Dal Sabzi, Aalo baigan, Mashed Eggplants, Aalo Bhaji, Bhindi Bhaji.
And Palak Paneer. All these are available here.
Sohail Khan says "Bhai I'm a food lover too but I can't explore due to my responsibilities".
Everyone has some responsibilities, I have mine too, ...
...but you have to work with those responsibilities.
Obviously you might not be able to manage it because of your time.
But start little by little and you'll surely grow big one day.
You have to start from somewhere then work on it gradually.
Try to take out some time and surely God will help you
Shano Ali asks "What camera do you have & how do you shoot".
I have a Canon G7x Mark II.
All of my videos have been shot on this camera.
I shot the first 15-20 videos through my cellphone.
And recently I have bought a new camera Sony A6600.
I haven't shot any vlogs on it yet but this video is recorded on the Sony.
And I have a Sigma 16mm f1.4mm lens for it.
I'll shoot my vlogs on this too but the G7X Mark II is an amazing camera.
I'll make a separate video on that too.
Sabir Khan asks "Would you like to visit Bangladesh in future? ".
Absolutely I'd like to visit Bangladesh too.
We have a lot of Bangladeshi brothers here too.
I had a friend named Ikram in my old neighborhood...
...and he used to make Egg Bun Kebabs & they were so delicious.
And also the Bengali chefs here make some really delicious food.
Bengali's have a God-gifted taste in their hands and their food is really tasty.
So I hope to visit Bangladesh one day & try out their cuisine.
Especially their seafood.
Hardik Patel says "How do you eat so much & don't get fat? ".
I usually don't eat that much in routine but only when I'm recording.
And I don't eat all of that by myself. I usually have someone with me...
...that helps me in the shoot.
So we all eat it together.
And when you're traveling you want to taste as much as possible.
That's why I eat so much.
But in routine I only eat as much as a normal person would.
"When will you visit Quetta?" says Faheez Ahmed.
I have planned to visit Quetta as soon as this lock-down ends.
Shehzad TV asks "Who's my favorite YouTuber ?".
My favorite YouTuber is Mark Wiens.
Mark Wiens is a legend & I started my channel after watching his videos.
I've been watching his videos for a very long time.
I thought I know video editing & a little bit of camera framing why not give it a try...
...and I started from my cellphone & here I'm today in front of you.
So Mark Wiens is my favorite Youtuber.
What is your current salary & equipment.
Well it's not a really kind thing to ask someone of their income.
Niel Kanwal asks "What time do you go live?".
I've been going live on Instagram these days.
I go live every 2-3 days.
If I go live everyday people will think I don't have anything else to do.
So I go live after every 2-3 days.
I usually go live between 10.30 to 11.00 PM on Instagram.
So If you haven't followed me there yet then please do.
And we'll talk live there.
Dinesh asks "What's my age, how many siblings do you have...
...what's your job, salary & your YouTube income".
You have asked some really personal questions.
I have 1 elder brother & 3 sisters.
And all my sisters are married.
Income is enough to keep my life going.
And mostly people are motivated to make videos because of income...
...or else what's the point of it then.
Kiran asks "Tell us about the team of Street Food PK".
I don't have a permanent team.
I just take any of my cousins or friends with me if they're free.
If name the people that I've shot & worked with...
...then there's Imroz, Nadeem, Ahmer Abdullah, Ahmed Ashfaq, ...
... Fazeel, Nabeel & Hassan.
Different people have been with me in different videos.
I just take anyone with me who's free.
And that's how we shoot videos.
Yawar Khan asks "What software do you use for editing?".
I have installed Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 for editing.
I edit my videos on that.
Other than that Adobe Premiere & Final Cut Pro are also good for editing.
If you want to start editing then go for Adobe Premiere Pro.
You'll have a lot of advantages using that.
Nasir Ayub asks "What's your Top 10 list of Food".
I'll have to think a little bit about it.
Every city has it's own taste.
But I'll tell a few things quickly that are in my mind.
Karachi's Biryani, whether it's Al-Rehman or Ghousia or Madni Biryani...
Karachi's Biryani is my favorite.
Coming to Lahore, the Naan Chana & Murgh Chana is really good.
In Karachi, the Shinwari Karahi is good as well.
If you go to Peshawar their Mutton Rosh, Mutton Namkeen, Nisar Charsi Tikka...
...and all the items made from Lamb meat are amazing there.
Karachi's Nihari is amazing. Javed Nihari, Zahid Nihari & Sabir Nihari.
So Nihari is really trendy here.
Waris Nihari from Lahore is good too.
Lahore's Butt Karahi is famous too.
Going to Islamabad I recently went to Majid Huts.
They have a really nice local environment there so I liked that too.
Their Kebab Fry was really good.
These were a few dishes but I'll try to make a separate Top 10 video.
But I told you just a few things.
Gaming world says "I'm from Lucknow & if you ever come to India which city you'll visit ...
...and your favorite food".
I get this question a lot that when will I be visiting India.
I wish to visit India one day. Our cultures are also similar.
And people on both sides are really the same.
Our food, traditions, way of talking is kinda same.
I want to go there & explore & same goes for the people there.
But you know that getiing Indian Visa isn't easy.
We can't get Indian tourism visa easily & same goes for Indians.
So if that process gets easy I'll surely visit India.
I'll visit whatever city I can & explore & make videos if I get a chance.
Adeel Adil asks "What's my education".
I did M.Sc in Economics from Karachi University.
But I didn't do anything in that field.
I changed my field & didn't make my career in Economics.
I shifted to the creative field.
RIght after that Phenominal Creations asks "How did you learn animations ?".
The answer is I like to bug around with computers.
My relative suggested me that I can make good animations & I should do After Effects courses.
And that started my journey in creative field.
And I kept learning & I'm still learning.
Because it's such a vast field that you keep learning.
You'll spend your lifetime & keep learning.
Saba asks if I'm married & Areeba is asking about my family.
Yes, I'm married & I have 2 daughters.
And I have my parents & my brother & we all live together.
And this is my Computer Room.
Tell us something about the video you did with Anubhav.
Yes I did a collab with Anubhav Sapra of Delhi Food Walks.
I made that video at the beginning of my channel.
I had this idea in my mind & I approached him...
...and told him I want to make a video where you're in Delhi & I'm in Karachi.
Because there are a lot of shops in Karachi named after Delhi.
So why not make a video where we show Delhi in Karachi.
And you share a few things from there & I'll do the same.
Because there are a lot of shops in Karachi named after Delhi.
And made that video & named it "Food without Borders".
It's a really emotional video & I have an attachment with it.
And I really enjoyed making that video.
I guessed I've answered enough questions.
I'm sorry if this video got long.
But I hope you all liked it & the all answers.
If you have any other questions then please let me know in the comments.
That's all for today. Take care, Stay Home & Stay Safe.

I'll see you all in the next video. Take care.
Allah Hafiz!
