PLAY; "Aap ka matlooba number doosri line pay masroof hai" - A Review

Image
As someone who loves going to the movies and would rather binge watching whole seasons of my favorite shows; I’d still never been to a stage play before. Despite the popular opinion and the recent revival of theater in Pakistan, I found it hard to take out time for the off-screen, live performances. So when I got a rare chance to attend one and heard rave reviews for the play Aap ka matlooba number I decided to check it out once and for all.  This play has been produced by the very talented and successful producers Ovais Mushtaq, Hassan Jawad Rana, M. Atif Siddique and Mohammad Bin Baseer. M. Atif Siddique and Hassan Jawad Rana are also the script writers for the play.

"Aap ka matlooba number doosri line pay ma...

The Rat Race and the Unimpressed Panel of Strangers

A race to get the child educated as soon as the schools dictate you to, to get the child ahead of other children as per the school’s expectations, and to proudly announce to the whole world that you are blessed with a gifted child because a school panel decided so. When you have a baby, every month, you will meet family and friends with one critical question, When is your child starting school? All first-time parents in Pakistan fac...

Perfect Education Systems: A Wishful Thinking

Image
By Sameera Wajid According to Prof. Dr. Gülden Ertugrul, Utopia is a word derived from the Greek Outopia meanings 'Nowhere' and Eutopia meanings 'Someplace Good'. It basically represents an imaginary place where all institutions and the actors in the society are perfect, a place that does not exist, but a place that one dreams of and can visualize as the ideal community, working in perfect harmony, free from all ills, injustices and discrimination. The concept of Utopia also serves as a contrast effect against which we can measure the inefficiencies and short-comings of the existing society and the corruption of the present day institutions. Education is a key tool to realize the ultimate goal of utopia. Life-Long Learners In an ideal world, there will be class difference, no socio-economic discrimination and no gender biases and education will be accessible by all. The learners will be life-long learners, not bounded by the routine school structures and learni...
