BEST ANTHEM FOR A REASON

[Iqtibas اقتباس @iqtibaas88]

A Muharram scene (worshipers seated under tasselled lanterns). White painting on mica, ca. 1800.

Acquired in 1948 from the Patna painter Ishwari Prasad, who had inherited it from his Murshidabad ancestors. His Patna forebears had preserved it as a model for further paintings.

گاہے بہ مستی طاؤس رقصاں
Musarrat Nazir (b. 1940) in a rare BBC's recording (early 80s) of a traditional Punjabi geet "Raat Dhammi Dhammi" melodiously sings while she joyously flaps her gorgeous hair. An elegant chanteuse unfurls a symphony of bahaar(spring) in her lilting vocals.

[punnu - پُنّوں @punnu__khan]

نہ رہا جنون رخ وفا یہ رسن یہ دار کرو گے کیا
جنہیں جرم عشق پہ ناز تھا وہ گناہ گار چلے گئے
a young Abida Parveen (b. 1954) sings Faiz's famous ghazal "tere gham ko jaan ki talash thi". Like the Sufi/folk renditions, her vocals bring the serenity & dynamism in ghazal singing as well

Ahmed Ben Bella was one of the founders of the FLN, the movement for the liberation of Algeria from France.

He was issued a Pakistani diplomatic passport, which allowed him to travel not only during his days as a revolutionary, but also in 1980s, when he was exiled from Algeria.

Trump says he can try and ask leaders in Pakistan and India to go out for a nice dinner together 😄

To those who feel slightly dejected at their scores, I want to tell them: one exam can never define you. Your journey is much bigger and your strengths go far beyond the mark sheet. Stay confident, stay curious because great things await. #ExamWarriors

“In his prosperous middle years Faredoon was prone to reminiscence and rhetoric. Sunk in a cane-backed easy-chair after an exacting day, his long legs propped up on the sliding chair, he talked the young people gathered as his feet.”

#QuoteOfDay: “Faredoon Junglewalla, Freddy for short, was a strikingly handsome, dulcet-voiced adventurer with so few scruples that he not only succeeded in carving a comfortable niche in the world for himself but also earned the respect and gratitude of his entire community.”
