So 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 […]

This 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 […]

What 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 […]

Much 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 […]

If 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 […]

Imagine your child suffers from an illness, skips his classes but doesn’t miss his lectures, assignments and learning. Someone else goes in his place, is there in a class all the time physically, interacts with the teacher and classmates and asks questions on your kid’s behalf. Joshua Martinangeli, a seven-years-old young boy, is too ill […]

If bashing America in Pakistan wouldn’t get you public patronage, what else could be? Come what may, it will work wonders, especially if you’re riding around the political big dipper. From holding them accountable for the plundering, pillaging, and marauding of your country’s tangible resources via IMF’s vicious jaws to accusing them of your deprivations […]

Not long ago, aspiring graduates perching in university corridors were optimistic about their career paths. Those were the days when the degree programs had a lot to offer and their parents’ hard-earned bucks seemed to have the best investment hubs. The disarray regarding study options was out of equations since every degree program would come […]

We live in a world full of yardsticks that measure circumstances, miseries, sufferings and problems of humans, communities, races and nations (albeit, differently). How many times have we seen Uncle Sam and his allies bringing ruins to apparently well-to-do communities, glittering roads bearing fluxing vehicles in and out, gravidas scrolling airs of their imaginations animating […]

If ranting program anchors, foaming at the mouth with rage while trying to bog down adversaries with stabbing remarks, impress you or leave you awestruck at the moment, congratulations, you’re exactly the kind of viewership they’re doing their shows for. Without having to go digging deep into the tranquillity of this phenomenon of getting inspired […]
