A film with an unpredictable start, unpredictable characters and amazing dialogues. The best part is you cannot recognize Salman Shahid in his very 1st appearance. Though he got a funny character role but still, he is far more better than the rest of the actors.

Karachi High School, claims that it is very high class school having such and such facilities and skilled and trained teachers.  In fact they have appointed untrained young teachers who have not any experience to handle the students of pre-primary. 

The Honorable Chief Justice has very rightly taken many Suo motu notices of various issues regarding provisioning of Justice to the masses.

We all know Shahrukh Khan and his religion which is Islam and his open-ness to the religions around him. Unfortunately he has been back fired for every comment he uttered for Islam.

All the peace and harmony over the last couple of months was nice.  But that’s history now, as it ended at 8:15 am Monday morning, as a powerful car bomb holding almost 800 kilograms of explosives struck a law enforcement building in Model Town. 

The lyrics of the rap song written and sung by the daughter of Ms Benazir Bhutto, Bakhtawar, reads: “I

Your editorial "Permanent etchings" (March 2) has very rightly pointed out the issue of so-called Islamic provisions put into the Constitution by the late dictator General Ziaul Haq to serve his own political purposes.
