Re: # 14

One of my friend was telling me that ``Cosmos`` by Carl Sagan used to be telecasted on PTV even during Zia era. Looking at the content of carl Sagan`s documentaries and assuming that similar lecture series for promoting rational thinking and scientific logic used to be telecasted on PTV a couple of decades back.

Now, although we have several channels, I have not seen a single program being telecasted on these channels. The channels who pretend to be enlghtened and moderate are even more irrational than the old PTV. Maximum rationality these channels show is trying to explain islamic ideas through scientific way or scietific ideas through islamic teachings. I wonder if they realize that there can be something in the world which can have a non-religious perspective.

it was little perdictable but not bad.

`To these people Aishwariya Rai will always be better than ZQ or Vaneeza or Aaminah Haq or Iman Ali or Tooba or Sunita Marshall... Pakistani models who far outshine Aishwariya Rai in beauty and brains in my opinion (others don`t have to agree with this assessment) ... `

Just saw pictures of these gals, nothing great abt then except maybe Iman, but man she has tons of makeup !!!!. BTW I am no fan of Ash.

Re: # 11 So much for the trash but nothing for serious hardcore sciences and technologies.I can remember the series ``Mechanical Universe`` by Prof. David Goldstein aired by PTV some years back.This is what i call imparting knowledge.I learned my concept of Resonance from that series which my Physics teacher couldn`t pushed through my head despite his best efforts.And till late in my engineering career i used to think in two dimensions coz the books or the visual aids were lacking in graphics quality.VU has different agenda or audience but why doesn`t some ``channelwalla`` bothers to invite some professors or doctors once a while from home or abroad and discuss some serious and thought provoking cutting edge technologies or have them deliver lectures.Why we are so much obsessed with trivialities and hair splitting the non-issues.

Thanks. I enjoyed it! Nicely used literary device, too.

bj, smartsyco, Fumair, Manto, Arjun, Ballukhan, Thanks for the appreciation.


bjkumar Sahib: I chose Ashwariya because of the song ``Ishq Kamina``. In his dream Arsalan hears it as ``Main Kamina`` because despite building a mosque and owning an Enzo he is still not satisfied with himself. Reason being the poor old Baba jee.

This piece is about the propensity of us Pakistanis to turn away from the problems in which we can make a differnce and to get hyper over ones that we cant do anything about.

Chowk-Staff: Thanks for the quick response to the problems with the italics.

My SWITCHING experience:

SWITCH!!!

Geo TV: Aamir Liaqat Hussain, pretending to weep because of emotions, whole two mullahs are sitting on his left and right: munkir nakeer? Reason for emotions: A filthy christian has embraced Islam and telling his story to enlightenment over the phone. Kalima was taught by a Shia aalim on left and Sunni on right.

When the program will finish, These Ulemas will again start ``Sahaba and Ahl e bait`` histoire again.

SWITCH!!!

Clicking off channelism of life is not a dilema for young Arslan of Pakistan. Immunity of problems through media take over is present all over the world! Americans the civilized are the most devotee to Television with highest individual percentage of hours/day plus the highest number of channels to browse through. Despite being so much showered by media beams they an average kid still lacks a global thinking, he cant deduce a political axiom outside the terroritriese of his state and the country.
However a poor Arslan of the street of Pakistan can debate over Afghan to Palestine issue recklessly just because he is taught that way and have many social enigmas of society that relates to him that gets dissolved. And the feeling of opression as a Muslim is the connection that is cabled in his/her mind and he find himself rightly associated with the slogans of war.

Adam Khana Saeb,

Get Arsalaan the Discovery, History and National Geographic too. Looks like he`s watching too much trash! As for Baba Jee, best for him are a pack of `duk cigratoona`.
