Karan Kohar in Trouble
From the Blog Speak Your Mind!!!: Karan Kohar in Trouble - Karan Johar’s show ‘Koffee with Karan’ is one show that has always maintained a status of being an “it” celebrity talk show. So much so that in the film Salaam-E-Ishq , Priyanka’s character feels that she would be considered a star the day Karan invites her on ‘Koffee with Karan’. Well, rumour has it, that stars are no more keen on being on the show unless they have a film to be promoted. So much so that Karan is having trouble scheduling stars according to what he finds fit, as they wouldn’t face the camera unless they are looking for extra publicity. With Karan’s health on the decline, sources say, this is adding to the concern. To add on to KJo’s troubles, for his upcoming production starring Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan, Karan was trying to organise the US visas but the Mumbai consulate, reportedly, has declined saying that they have too many requests already. This has apparently forced the production to take the entire unit to Chennai to get visas. Looks like he is going through some tough time these days… . Read Full Post

Karachi University at loggerheads with IBA
From the Blog Kanwalful meets world: Karachi University at loggerheads with IBA - It is officially a known fact that The Express Tribune has risen to the ranks of the Top 100 Useless Publications to be printed in Pakistan. The parade of idiotic articles published in it do nothing but even further reinforce that very fact. Having said that, my blog post today is about a news article published today in The Express Tribune that talks about Karachi University ‘s “fear” over IBA (lawfully) taking over 52.25 acres of its land. (You can read that article HERE ) According to this senseless piece of information, KU officials claim that “if IBA gets ownership of this vast tract, the university would lose highly valuable land with which it could possibly generate revenue if IBA paid rent or for utilities.” Let me make one thing clear – this piece of land is ONLY valuable BECAUSE there is a dedicated institute operating upon it. IBA is one of the most efficient functions operating within the ENTIRE university of Karachi and definitely worth the money and resources spent over it. The minute Karachi University ‘s “officials” decide to discard IBA and throw the people out, this valuable piece of land will merely be left as home to mating dogs and a horde of overgrown grass. As is the case with most of its 1279 acres of land. Secondly, this LEGAL allotment of land to IBA is being proclaimed as “mutation” by the Karachi University Teacher’s Society. Well, I hate to break it to the world but what CAN actually be called mutated within the bounds of Karachi University is the Commerce Department. Much like other KU Departments – rundown, pathetic and unlivable in all aspects of the word unlivable. KU “officials” and “teacher societies” should spend this free time (seeing as to how they have so much of it) in actually working towards the development of their respective departments as opposed to tearing down the one or two good institutes left in this already intellectually deprived country. I would love to go on and on about how it is utterly stupid for Karachi University to be fighting about IBA getting a piece of their land – especially since IBA’s existence is doing NOTHING but good to Pakistani students. But I refuse to waste any more of my time, since I have adequately put my message across. As for The Express Tribune , those idiots need better things to write and research about. Maybe they should come to me for classes. Good day. . Read Full Post
