Indo-Pak Media: A Redundant Concept on October 2, 2023The contemporary Western media is smart! It practices the prowess of behavioural sciences across its production fleet. Especially with some smart infusions of neuro-linguistic and cognitive behavioural-science-applications, it gained unvanquishable grounds as compared to the rest and ruling the roost ever since – adapting to modern demands while also conforming to the public’s taste buds. […]
Time’s Up For Islamabad! on September 5, 2023The earthshakes have been jolting Pakistani terrains since early 2023, and the trigger-happy seismic waves seem to be holding back no punches. Though we’re already into the last months of 2023, these palpitations are eliciting spine-chilling tales unremittingly. In January alone, the federal capital experienced three straight shocks when the ground jolted back and forth. […]
Pakistani Women Shattering Glass Ceilings on June 22, 2023Not long ago, the chaos circumambulating women’s empowerment notion was only peaking up. The practical measures for the cause were extinct and impotent organizations had taken a toll on the last leftovers of hopes that lingered on for a while. With run-of-the-mill sort of average practices, they were stigmatizing the sanctitude of good governance and […]
Halal Opium and Haram Women Education on December 26, 2022They were clueless about what to do in the post-Soviet War era. When the non-state actors and global agencies had milked them enough, they had no choice, but to become a pack of famous hunters, who’d now resort to preying upon anything that would come their way. However this time, the Savannah was swapped with […]
Legacy of Subcontinent Music: Lost to the Wheel of Time on December 19, 2022The language of music is universal and so are the enchanting beats that echo through the corridors of the heart. If on one hand, ‘Bhervi’ tunes up its melodies with early birds upon the crack of dawn, ‘Raag Eem’n’, on the other, hits the delightful chords under the watchful but diminishing eyes of the sun […]
Pakistani Nukes are Well-Guarded! on December 14, 2022So if you think fake news items circumambulate mere institutional or personal affairs, you’re mistaken to the core. They now draw beads on national security issues, sometimes to the extent that they become bona fide doctrines. For years, Pakistan’s nuclear arsenals have been touted as the most vulnerable assets, especially under the cover of grey […]
UNGA: Screening of PM’s Statesmanship on September 24, 2022This year’s theme for the 77th session of the General Assembly —A watershed moment: transformative solutions to interlocking challenges— seem appropriate and befitting. The water not only shed in bulk but also wreaked mayhem across the globe while depositing agony, hunger and homelessness in leftovers. Some of the other key topics i.e. the war in […]
The US is not Your Default Enemy! on September 10, 2022What is the most palatable, enticing and rather “tried-and-tested” public-provocation-gimmick in Pakistan? It can’t be politics, for sure, as bashing a political party faring bad gets temporary goods in the morning and counter flak in the evening. The heterogeneity among the public’s political standpoints is intense and intertwines at will. On the other hand, one […]
Digital Media’s Gatekeeping is the Future! on August 19, 2022Much is said for digital media rights, but no one accentuates any minimum qualification required for a content creator to get going. They rebuff any legislation aimed to keep digital content under checks, tout de suite, but pretend to be stoic if the morals of content creators aren’t schooled. The flat plateau of intellectually impotent […]
Arthur Conan Doyle– Mazhar Kaleem MA of West on July 26, 2022If I’ve to coin a single name from south Asia, whose spy fiction writing genius could be put on par with globally acclaimed writers, I’d say “Mazhar Kaleem MA” hands down. On his 80th Birthday, I am indebted to him for the amazing services he rendered in the field of sci-fi spy fiction! Born to […]
