Tuesday, October 28, 2008. 8220;A puppet may not necessarily be a human or animal figurine. Even the swirl of a sash in the air can convey an expression and hence become a puppet,” said Faizaan Peerzada at the recent theatre-cum-puppet performance at Lahore’s Museum of Puppetry. This act was handled by the German pros themselves since it required skill and caution. This article was published in Images, Dawn on Oct 26, 2008. Labels: Museum of Puppetry.

Thursday, October 6, 2011. Apple is truly our DNA. Then it was Adam and now Steve. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come.

I got one of the first Macs, and my relationship with computers fundamentally changed. In both of his incarnations at Apple, he was a visionary....The w...

Tuesday, July 1, 2008. I have wanted to go to. Since ever but could never actually get go. Four years ago I had a chance to go with my college/colleagues but my thesis came in between and I had to stay back and work on my paintings. Numerous times I had the opportunity but somehow nothing could materialize. Easily identifiable by their ornately sculptured surface give my nerves a tingling of surrealism. On my insistence we decided to board a bus from. Am I glad I went to. Yes, I think so. Jama Masjid was...

Art is an idiosyncratic prism which translates the unspeakable and the sublime, reflecting the human complicity within nature. Our acts embody nature and art commemorates nature. It helps us in recounting our emotional ideas fabricated from sorrows rooted in decay and joys springing from growth. Sadia Salim a ceramicist. Of March opened i...

What do diamonds and rainbowshave in common? Is there a connection between fall colors and flamingos? Very small additions of an impurity can transform transparent corundum into a gorgeous red ruby. The same mechanism makes emeralds green and produces the color in some glazes and enamels.". Links to this post.

Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Coffee ground and creative mind go hand in hand! I'm uninspired. Completely. I know what I need to write, and how I need to write it, and where I need to go with it. I just don't want to. *Cue temper tantrum here* Except it's not temper. It's just.nothing. No drive. No emotion. No motivation. Just emptiness. Chocolates and coffee are the two things which can put me back into my mainstream thought line instantly! But what a pity we don’t have Starbucks here! Tuesday, July 29, 2008.
