I was searching for some beautiful wallpaper for blog and this picture caught my sight; I fell in love with it almost immediately. This is a beautiful painting and the artist of this creation has my standing ovation. For so long I have been dreaming to have another home with a lake, and this painting depicts exactly what I desire. The lake is missing though but I can easily use my creative imagination to place the lake at the backside of this home. No I am not shifting anywhere, yet; but lately a deep desire is surfacing within me to live at a place where I am completely surrounded by nature, lush green land with trees, flowers, lake or ocean, with few other homes in vicinity. However, there has to be cafes, shopping malls, biryani and nihari inns and the bustling main city area should be within few minutes’ drive. Besides this house, I desire that I would like to do something more than just practicing law. I want to be engaged in the work that I enjoy with a...
I opened up today’s newspaper and the front page of its entertainment pages featured a cover story about the Indian superstar Rajesh Khanna who left us recently. The next story was the review of the latest Bollywood movie, then inside on the third page there was an article on our veteran film actor Nadeem. It is so unfortunate that our legends who are still with us, who gave the best of their life to Pakistan’s film industry get such secondary treatment. There is no doubt about the fame and the phenomena that Rajesh Khanna was. His films and his songs shall be remembered till the time there is love for music; so giving him that front page space is understandable. However, there was no need to mention an irrelevant movie at the cost of secondary treatment to our own stars. If we don’t respect and own what is our then there is nobody in the world who would give us that status. I am neither a fundamentalist nor a nationalist but I speak for fairness. If media with all the po...
Today I am deeply saddened and lost for words at the passing away of Mr. Sohail Muzaffar. A lthough my teacher, my mentor and a wonderful soul Mr. Sohail left us for his heavenly abode in February 2021. The most painful thing is that I just came to know about his news few days ago when I tried to call him for some advice. He wasn’t picking up the phone so I checked his facebook to contact him and from there I came to know of his passing away. Every day I thought about calling him but one thing or the other happened and I kept postponing my call; for almost a year I have not even looked at my facebook account. Yet I always found solace from the very thought that he will be fine and some fine day I will call him or probably pay him a surprise visit at his office and then we will gossip about the latest happenings over a cup of coffee. All these plans only remained in my mind, for years I made plans but never acted on them. Today I am at lost for any words,...
