Released: March 1999. Written by Ashfaq Ahmed. These plays were aired in the 70’s but now they have come back to life thanks to Combine Productions. The stories are the same but the actors, directors, and the rest of the crew are all new. It’s turning out to be the season’s most watched tv program due in partly to Mr. Amjad’s great writing style. Plus the poetry is absolutely amazing even if the play is not.
So far the plays that have been aired include:
Quratul-Ain – starring Arjumand Rahim and Hasan Raza. Directed by Najam uz Zaman. Story of an airforce pilot who has to come to terms with not fulfilling his dream.
Ishtabah-e-Nazar – Starring Nadia Jamil and Asif Seemab. The acting wasn’t very well but the story was good and thus made the play watchable.
Sanam Gazeeda – Starring Sania Saeed. Directed by Mahreen Jabbar. Great play and of course a brilliant performance by Sania.
Himmat-e-Batil – Starring Nausheen Qureshi and Rehan Sheikh. A story of love and loyalty beautifully portrayed by the actors and wonderfully directed. Shows how a person should love what is on the inside not what appears on the outside.
Sanam Goth Jo Driver – Starring Mishi Khan, Yasir Nawaz, and Ayesha O’Connell. Story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor taxi driver. Not too impressive overall.
Mah-e-Kanan – Starring Hasan Raza, Shagufta Ijaz, and Maya Khan. Story of a woman who has had many heartbreaks in life, but as soon as she tries to relive her life, life itself doesn’t give her chance to do so. Wonderful performance by Shagufta.
A must watch if you’re looking for good stories and good acting which are becoming harder and harder to find in Pakistani dramas.
Ohter plays that have aired so far include: Afsoon Khawab, Mah-e-Kanan, Makoos Rabtay, Madan-e-Mohabbat, Ghareeb-e-Shehar, Maraat-e-Mohabbat, Dastaan-e-Habib, Deeda-e-Purkhoon, Labaik Labaik, Zood-e-Pasheman, Ajar-e-Aswad, Changar, Dada Dildada.

THE SECRETS TO MAKING
CONVERSATION AND SMALL TALK
Besides feelings of low self worth and speaking in public/groups, meeting
and talking to people is the most common topic that I coach and help
people with in my coaching businesses.
In fact most people would rather pull their toenails out than actually have
to go up to someone they have never met before and strike up a
conversation!
But don’t worry help is at hand!
Throughout this chapter I am going to talk you through how to
communicate with people that you have never met before and teach you
how to drum up conversation with people and make small talk.
The techniques work equally well with people whom you find
communicating to very difficult or awkward.
Are you one of those people who meets someone new for the first time,
you get past the “Hello” and then a tumbleweed breezes across the floor?!
If so, you are not alone.
Meeting people for the first time and striking up conversations can be a
very daunting task, but it need not be the case.
If you understand all about other people and how they like to
communicate and what they like to talk about, then striking up a
conversation can be an enjoyable experience.
Honestly!
Here’s how.
The problem with meeting new people or people who you do not know
very well is that you tend to find that you put yourself under pressure to
talk.

Pakistan has emerged as a strategic ally of the United States in the “war on terror.” It is the third largest recipient of U.S. aid in the world. But how stable is Pakistan? Ayesha Siddiqa shows how the military has gradually gained control of Pakistan’s political, social, and economic resources. T his power has transformed Pakistani society, where the armed forces have become an independent class.
The military is entrenched in the corporate sector and controls the country’s largest companies and large tracts of real estate. So Pakistan’s companies and its main assets are in the hands of a tiny minority of senior army officials. Siddiqa examines this military economy and the consequences of merging the military and corporate sectors. Does democracy have a future in the new Pakistan? Will the generals ever withdraw to the barracks. Military Inc. analyzes the internal and external dynamics of this gradual power-building and the impact that it is having on Pakistan’s political and economic development.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah an Indian born Pakistani Lawyer and Politician. Founder of the country of Pakistan 1876-1948
“I have lived as plain Mr. Jinnah and I hope to die as plain Mr. Jinnah. I am very much averse to any title or honours and I will be more than happy if there was no prefix to my name.”
Come forward as servants of Islam, organise the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Expect the best, Prepare for the worst.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Failure is a word unknown to me.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Islam expect every Muslim to do this duty, and if we realise our responsibility time will come soon when we shall justify ourselves worthy of a glorious past.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Our object should be peace within, and peace without. We want to live peacefully and maintain cordial friendly relations with our immediate neighbours and with the world at large.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope other will share with us.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
That freedom can never be attained by a nation without suffering and sacrifice has been amply borne out by the recent tragic happenings in this subcontinent.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Think 100 times before you take a decision, But once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy, Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.
