News, Views and End of Semester Blues

I would say that I haven’t had time to blog recently but in all honesty, I’ve had all the time in the world. I just haven’t had the will to blog. There is just so much crazy stuff happening recently that it really made me wonder why we bother with anything at all. Let’s start … Continue reading »

The Curse of Fashion

As published in the first issue of ‘Smudge- The Social Nudge’ Today, I stepped out wearing a men’s pinstripe dress shirt tucked into high-waisted ankle trousers, underneath which fierce purple gladiators stood their ground.

A Coke Studio Inspiration: Satwa Sessions!

Almost everyone I know has heard about Coke Studio. Pakistanis living in the country, or as far away as the outback of Australia have either heard of or know about the music that Coke Studio produces.

The predicament of Pakistan

So I have a friend who has suddenly become infused with a lot of patriotic zeal and wants to “do something” for Pakistan. Now I am not saying that’s a bad thing but I just can’t help being sceptical about it.  Scepticism (regarding Pakistan, the nature of its gov’t, the way its been carried out) … Continue reading »

Protected: The Fugitive

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

There’s someone at my window..

Throughout the night, I’ve been hearing gunshots at arbitrary intervals.  At first I thought there was something wrong with my ears, then I thoughht maybe I was just imagining it out of paranoia because of all the latest emails from the VC warning the student body to avoid going off campus because of the threat … Continue reading »
