My friend, the dream enabler. June 19, 2015. June 20, 2015. By Raania Azam Khan Durrani. In 2014, the team at PeaceNiche lead by Sabeen Mahmud imagined putting up a show called Dil Phaink. We wanted it to be from the streets to the heart of Pakistanʼs pop culture. We envisioned it as. Our international audience has read about the blackouts, bombs, burqas and really bad guys but now we want to take them to the nooks and corners of any street, in any city, in any part of Pakistan, so they can hear the many...

The images and feelings are redder than anything else in my heart. 8220;I Do Not Love You….” – Sonnet XVII – By Pablo Neruda. 8220;I Do Not Love You….” – Sonnet XVII – By Pablo Neruda. July 31, 2014. I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,. Or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,. In secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms. But carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;. A Strong Woman:...

Midmorning Shadows – Old Light
https://raania.wordpress.com/2014/10/08/midmorning-shadows
October 8, 2014. By Raania Azam Khan Durrani. For the lunar eclipse that I know is happening, but I cannot see. For the early evening sky of a dusty October in my Karachi. For the golden afternoon sun that brightens the eyes, and masks the grime of the city. For the many complete thoughts, but incomplete sentences. For the lingering smell of the low tide, that permeates seaside homes. For the salt of the gust, and my windswept hair. For slow cooked, warm meals eaten across the ones you love. Notify me of...

The season of hesitation. November 9, 2010. November 9, 2010. Raania Azam Khan Durrani. Or is it just my insensitivity? October 8, 2010. October 8, 2010. Raania Azam Khan Durrani. A few minutes ago, as we were driving back to our house, we passed by the Mazar. Abdullah Shah Ghazi’s shrine, one of the few places in Karachi which was always celebrating, at all hours of the day and night; sat silent, dark and haunted. Karachi’s Saint, is alone tonight. October 4, 2010. Raania Azam Khan Durrani. Before the s...

A few deep steps into the snow – Old Light
https://raania.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/a-few-deep-steps-into-the-snow
A few deep steps into the snow. October 14, 2014. October 14, 2014. By Raania Azam Khan Durrani. I watched ’Haider’ last night – and it left me sleepless. This story is not really about ‘Haider’, it is about how it stirred me. The climatic graveyard scene, made me realise I am more mother, than woman, artist, Pakistani or any other category I may fit into. Haider vishalbharadwaj cinema kashmir karachi love beauty.
