This is a song I keep coming back to. Haniya's voice on the album version ( Chup. 2008) sounds a little more spare and pristine, but this live version recorded for Coke Studio Pakistan is vivacious in its own way. The rabab adds an additional layer of magic to this performance. Happy listening! Zeb and Haniya on what their song in Darri, Farsi and Pushto is all about. Part one, translated from Darri/Farsi:. Paimana bideh ki khumaar astam;. Bring me the glass so I may lose myself;. Je ne sais quoi. Cornei...

Sunday, April 22, 2012. Bhoja Air Crash and Chaotic Reaction. Tragic Bhoja Air crash perished 127 precious lives; it has hardly been one year to horrific Air Blue crash in. Lately there was tsunami, killing thousands in. And everyone talked about the patience and civilized behavior of Japanese people. If I look at Bhoja Air crash or any other tragedy in Pakistan, our response is poor and chaotic. Let us look at events aftermath of Bhoja Air tragedy;. Media playing role of aviation expert. Globally over 2...

Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Irresponsible Media, Moin Khan visit to Casino and Pakistani Performance in World Cup. Cricket fever is in full swing in Pakistan; everyone is glued to TV and overly engrossed with cricket. Pakistan lost first two group matches, leading to tough chance for them to qualify for the quarter finals. We as nation love emotional response rather than having rational debate and learn from mistakes, fix them and move on. I wonder what was Pakistani Couple doing in the casino! One may q...

Monday, September 3, 2012. Economic Myths and Our Elite. Came across an interesting read on Pakistan's economy written by eminent economist S Akbar Zaidi in Daily Dawn. Its must read for all. Economists are singularly to blame and not just for perpetrating uninformed myths about Pakistan’s economy. Those who are competent and qualified — and there are some — are too busy consulting for donors to volunteer to engage in the public sphere. Some even feel that there is little point ...Perhaps not, but there ...

Sunday, June 12, 2011. Pakistan is in Mess- It’s India, America and Israel. Our society is plagued with ailment caused by Jewish, American and Indian agents! Its general attitude at individual level to TV talks shows. As a nation we are programmed to accept everything under the sun and blame it on others and never make efforts to fix our problems. Weren’t Bengali’s Muslims? Why over 100,000 Bengalis killed and over 200,000 women raped? Fourthly, Pakistani middle class believes that democracy is not for i...

Saturday, February 12, 2011. Facebook; Thanks for Egyptian Revolution, Who’s Next? Facebook is synonymous with social interactions; never knew its potential of toppling despots. Last month Tunisia was falling out of blue, we thought it’s just a random event and may not have spill over effect. We never knew that Arab world was burning deep inside like volcano until we saw thousands of people on Egyptian streets. I wonder how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg would be feeling after Egyptian Revolution.

Reflecting, living out of a suitcase, chasing change and the sun…. April 3, 2013. Humane/green pest control: Too boaring for local authorities? Yesterday on my way home from dinner I ran into a common indigenous, nighttime resident of Islamabad, literally. As both cars (me and the parallel car on the unlit road -yes unlit- why would we have something as unimportant as streetlights in a country where a mere 40% of demand. For electricity is currently being supplied? Oh joy tell me more…). But still cant h...

One of the 5 worst places on earth to be born a woman | The Movable Journal
https://hanniahtariq.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/1003
Reflecting, living out of a suitcase, chasing change and the sun…. March 9, 2013. One of the 5 worst places on earth to be born a woman. The portrait of an average Pakistani woman. Bunker Roy, founder of the celebrated Barefoot College. For improving the conditions of society in general. Noting this significance, it is a disgrace that Pakistan stood 133. Out of 135 countries in the Global Gender Gap Index in 2011. Certainly, appraising the state of affairs for women in Pakistan on the 102. Note on method...
