How Many Times Do You Hear the Word 'Laila'?
From the Blog All Things Pakistan: ATP Quiz: How Many Times Do You Hear the Word 'Laila'? - Owais Mughal I heard this question the first time in 1985 on Radio Pakistan and since then I have remembered the answer to it. How many times do you hear the word 'Laila' in the song 'Laila Laila Laila' ? WPvideo 1.10 The song is from a Pakistani movie called 'ishq-e-Laila' (1957) and in 1984 it was given a second life by Benjamin Sisters' rendition in an Anwar Maqsood stage show called Silver Jubilee. Its audio cassette came out soon and became very popular. One day on Radio Pakistan this same question was asked for a very big prize (a Rahbar Water Cooler – jis mein pani thanda 24 ghante rehta tha ). I've known people listening to and rewinding their audio cassettes whole day long but couldn't get to the right answer. Are you up for the challenge? to phir ho jaaye! . Read Full Post
Mr. Jinnah
From the Blog Speak Your Mind!!!: Mr. Jinnah - Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:”Table Normal”; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:”"; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:”Times New Roman”; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} I think it would be too early to wish Mr. Jinnah right now, so I would just write a small note. Mr. Jinnah is one of my favourite personalities. Beyond any doubt, he was a man of substance. The movie on Jinnah was not that bad, but people in our country have no respect even for the founder of Pakistan. They didn't even go to the cinema to watch it. I think Mohammad Ali Jinnah is the best thing that happened to Pakistan & in all these years, nothing has happened. I really like what he said: "Think 100 times before you take a decision, But once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man." The key word is of course man, because taking a decision & standing for something…these things come much later. And no one could have put it more aptly than his own daughter: 'No Jinnah, no Pakistan.' But we are such a selfish nation, we don't even ponder on it. Lord Pethick Lawrence, the former Secretary of State for India, very rightly said, “Gandhi died by the hands of an assassin; Jinnah died by his devotion to Pakistan”. When I read about the War of Independence for the 1 st time, it dawned on me that we shouldn't take freedom for granted. People were suffering very badly at that time & even at the time of partition, countless people sacrificed their lives, left their country…we cannot just ignore all of it. . Read Full Post
