You only live once, make the most of it!
As Pakistanis we have become used to our ahem “leaders” putting their sandals in their mouths on a regular basis. Since the coming into power of the ZPP we have heard Slicktop and his umm lackey? speak on many an occasion on “the Drone Issue” quite strongly, and condemn it several times. Thus it is…
When I got a chance to visit the Kara Film festival earlier this week, I was quite chuffed. Who wouldn’t be ??? Being the Karachi nut I am , a film festival with international recognition and 230 flicks being staged in my own city of residence hit all the right notes in me. Until i…
