Ansar Burni, following that blockbuster press conference with Kashmir Singh, took the pain to walk along with the former spy right up to the Indian border, and would have jogged even to his village, had India allowed.

Having stayed active on quite a few online forums for many years, I had always taken words for granted, until I was rudely awakened just recently. Â In an online exchange, I was being slightly misread by someone. I posted something, and got a response that was, to put it mildly, unexpected. I tried to salvage […]

Why is it getting more and more difficult for us to be able to talk without “I†in the age of iPhone?  Maybe, it’s about self importance and our sense of supposed individuality. Supposed, because the more we try to pretend different, the more we look the same, thanks to globalization and advertising which together have […]

These days, one can find pro-establishment mouthpieces in wholesale quantities in Pakistan. Don’t know how they have managed it, but the result is fantastic. Everyday, we find articles, analysis, predictions, and posts, humiliating the politicians who are yet to take their seats, blaming them for all things that have happened and that which may happen.

Rush hour! One jam-packed road, many barking horns, a buzzing mobile phone, and the vehicle just ahead of you is moving merely an inch a minute. Your boss wants you in the office NOW. “To discuss that important assignment, before he leaves for another city. Another important assignment, shit! You’re already too late. You wonder […]

Enters Manjit Singh… He insists his real name is Sarbjit Singh, and he was caught because the law enforcement had misidentified him for another Manjit Singh, who is said to have been involved in spying and terrorist activities in 1990, which claimed the lives of 14. Sarbjit/Manjit Singh was awarded a death sentence in 1991, but fortunately […]

We are monkeys to Darwin, sex maniac donkeys to Freud, a hierarchical bunch of selfish needies to Maslow, and are yet to be explored, and further explained. Everyone takes us for a ride with his own expertise, experiences, experiments, estimates, philosophies, theories, readings, hypothesis, findings, guesswork, and nonsense. Everyday we come by some final word on […]

It’s refreshing. The new Coke campaign headlined by a loud “Brrr.” Crisp and catchy, the Brrr might have no meaning, yet says it all. Even more refreshing is the fact that it adorns the recently overly politicised billboards of the city, replacing the pale wooden faces of the thanks god its over election campaign. Of recent, […]

Prior to the elections of 18thFebruary, Amin Fahim looked all set to become the next prime minister of Pakistan. And he most probably still is, since nothing has changed except the minor political necessities that arose due to PPP’s weaker than expected performance in Punjab.

Right from its fabrication, our soft image limped on for months, propped up by the soft-faced and soft-spoken female models, who toured the world […]

This is the age of super talkers; talkers, talkers, and more talkers. They stalk us everywhere in the office, at the barber’s, on the go, and even in our own drawing rooms. TV, FM, or the net. We get them in the millions, all always talking and all making little sense. In no time, talking has emerged into a […]
