Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase. It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions. This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...
Finally the wait is over and
today we are going to watch the sequel of Tanhaiyaan (Solitaries), a famous TV play of mid-eighty’s. I have very loving
memories of this drama and each character is still engraved in the mind. From
the beautiful Shahnaz Sheikh, Marina Khan, to amazing (Qabacha) Behroze
Subzwari, Durdana Butt, Asif Raza Mir, Yasmin Ismail, and many other greats.
Nothing could beat the splendour which Tanhaiyaan had created in the hearts and
mind of its audience.
It was simply a brilliant TV play directed by the exceptional late Shehzad Khalil and story
written by our veteran writer Ms. Haseena Moin. Haseena Moin is well-known for her
romantic comedies although she has written several plays on variety of topics.
I don’t know whether she is
writing the sequel or they have opted for someone else. Whoever would be writing
the sequel has to live up to very high expectations because what we had seen earlier
was epic performances with splendid direction, beautiful dialogues and screen
play.
Nevertheless, we should be grateful
that many of those actors are still with us and we have this wonderful opportunity
to once again watch them all together in Tanhaiyaan, nai silsilay. (Solitaries, new series)
Unfortunately these days it is
becoming increasingly difficult to watch any Pakistani TV serials because most
of the plays today have below-standard language/ dialogues, unnecessary bold
scenes and top it all we see highly abusive male characters beating up women.
And if that is not enough there are several shows where both husband and wife
are having extra-marital affairs.
All in all most of what we watch
on TV is pure rubbish. Although some argue that this is reality and we should
see in order to inform ourselves. My point is, even though this might be
happening in this country but before these plays only few people knew about
such issues and now the country is aware of things that are not worth any
attention.
Besides if you want to show
reality or express your hidden feelings then it is preferable to write novels
or make art movies, in any case TV because of its reach to the families is not
the right medium to show such content.
Coming back to Tanhaiyaan, nai silsilay I wish them good luck for this play.
