7 Din and 2 Climaxes In
Before you read on, note that this will not be a full, comprehensive review of 7 Din Mohabbat In (7DMI). Ushah already did that. Instead, this will focus on one aspect of the film that I found incredibly problematic. No, I’m not talking about the film’s casual polarizing of feminism; Ushah’s doing that too. Neither…
5 (Well 6) Must Try Eateries in K-Town
First of all, the term K-Town doesn’t refer to a Korea Town, in some western metropolis. No. K-town is a colloquial term used by many Karachites as a term of endearment for their beloved “City of Lights”. I mean we use it to show affection, not just to sound cool; totally not why we do…
5 Pakistani Artists You Won’t Find on Coke Studio
In an older article, I warned, or let’s say prophesied, that if the producers of Coke Studio aren’t careful, their seat on the pinnacle of Pakistani Music will be taken. Today, I’m going to effectively give that seat away. Away to five people, who I believe should be safely and comfortably perched at the top….

Cake Film Review: Sweet, Fulfilling and Subtle
In an older article I said that Cake may just take the spot of my favourite film of the year from Parchi. Well guess what! It just did. Cake is by far the BEST (yes capital ‘B E S T’ best) Pakistani film of recent years. It has everything you’d want in a Pakistani movie,…
The best Pepsi Ad Pakistan has Ever Seen
Our world is full of secrets. Especially in this day and age where people want to be ‘first’ for everything, from PSL tickets to Sapphire Sales. One thing, however, that isn’t a secret is my love for Pepsi. Love not just because I help run one of the largest (in Asia) manufacturers of the stuff….
It’s Time We Went to Rehab for Our Coke Studio Addiction
I was scrolling through Facebook as one does late one night. It’s useful for finding out about current events, you see. After reading about Mahira’s cringe-worthy reaction to Javed Sheikh’s awkward show of affection, I realized that the Lux Style Awards took place the night before. So naturally, I was curious to see who the…
Let’s Talk About Cake
There are moments in your life that are so incredibly life altering that they make you question everything. Sometimes they reaffirm your beliefs, and give you the guidance you need to push on. While at other times, they save you from making grave errors of judgment. Regardless of the effect, they ensure that you feel…

The compulsion is so great that it takes over all your priorities until your expression is complete. This, what you’re reading right now, is a result of one such compulsion.
