Stalking Women in IslamabadBy Sarah Hasan: I am confident that not a single woman in Pakistan can say that she has never been stalked. Stalking has also evolved with time like everything else. With Internet and mobile phones things have gone a little out of hand and its old tradition. Why all of a sudden I ended up with this topic. The reason is that we have a Girls High School nearby and on ... From Sarahinsouthkorea Who are These 20%?By Riaz Haq: The fact that the number of Pakistanis who consider themselves thriving is down from 1 in 3 last year to 1 in 5 now is understandable because of many serious and worsening crises Pakistan is facing today.

From Sara Hassans Blog Mirchi Chutney PotatoesBy Ruhina Hashmi: So Insiyah Abid suggested that I put mirchi chutney in between slices of potato. Anf fry.

From Elzaa Postcolonial TheoryBy Masood Raja: Postcolonial theory, in my humble opinion, does just that: it gives us the tools to choose the right ideology and liberatory philosophy without buying into the reductive explanations of classical Marxian take on ideology. There is no outside to capital: we must therefore fight it from within but not to create a non-capitalistic utopia but to creat ... From The Pakistan Forum Thirsty for Western ValidationBy Ahmer Naqvi: That we as a whole are so thirsty for Western validation that we overlook other key systemic issues. However, I find the argument to be inherently shallow.

From Haqs Musings Legally ExploitedBy Masood Raja: One such student who was enrolled by a US scholar to help him finish a nationally funded project on a mountain language of Pakistan and so many others like her who are being legally exploited by the so-called scholars. Naturally, to protect the student I am not providing any names. I will probably openly do that in another venue if the mistreatment ... From The Pakistan Forum Bhoja Crash and MediaBy Sarah Hasan: People whom I think are cashing their 5 minutes of fame on TV - a new craze of this country. One news anchor asked: would you explain the conditions of the bodies? The answer was gross: the man started explaining what size of body pieces and what body parts he saw in a gruesome way whereas another man behind him was smiling all along. This is what ... From Sarahinsouthkorea Poor, Chaotic ResponseBy Imran B: If I look at Bhoja Air crash or any other tragedy in Pakistan, our response is poor and chaotic. Japan’s mainland security force played pivotal role in disaster management, we did not see single relief good struck carrying such slogans “Relief Goods; A Gift for Japanese People from Mainland Security Force”. Let us look at event aftermath of Bh ... From Skeptic Life Summer SyrupsBy Ruhina Hashmi: I'm giving you the basic syrups. Mixing and matching is only limited to your imagination. .

Especially not towards those who never took the time out to read/listen to what I was talking about in the first place. I’m doing what I feel is right. My intent was never to just talk HOT AIR. I talked about things I still believe in. I cannot be made to feel guilty if I sell something. And neither can ... From The Sa Project Eureka MomentBy Farheen Zehra: Am I an honest writer? Is there any other fear which has me in its grip? Should I write with the blue pen or the black one? Do I finish the incomplete projects even though the new ideas are more exciting? Will I ever be able to produce a good work of writing? Why am I afraid of going through the process of creation? The last question was my Eureka ... From Beanbag Tales We are Sitting on a Time BombBy Sarah Hasan: Now, we are sitting on a time bomb - ready to explode. I mean - people of Gilgit, they were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Even though I was far from my home and was new to the place I found a special place in the close-knit families of my friends. People used to mind their own business but everyone was desperate about educating their c ... From Sarahinsouthkorea Where Passion Leads YouBy Wasio Ali Khan: Currently both Aliza and Bushra are holding an exhibition with two other female entrepreneurs this weekend and I got the chance today for a visit.
