WHAT IT MEANS TO BE GREEN

god, please grant me the patience
to lay my body numb upon
this bed of black soil,
to lay patient with the years
thru wars and presidents
comets and clocks...
as the pine tree grows thru my ribs.
and when my task is done
complete...
as I lay lonesome in this valley
with birds perched on my peak
may all my friends arrive
one by one...
surrounding me with love and accolade
and may they call me troy
the first boy with a tree in his heart

"The last four months in our national history have changed something forever. I feel proud to say that not only the judiciary and 90,000-plus black-coated fraternity, but the entire civil society is ready to sacrifice everything to uphold the Constitution and achieve rule of law..." IFTIKHAR CH. (C.J Pakistan)

Oh, I'm so embarrassed;

"The rate at which a person can mature is directly proportional to the embarrassment he can tolerate"--Doug Engelbart

If we assume the above quotation to be true, trust me children of our generation are going to grow up as extremely mature individuals. Confused? Let me fill you in. While writing this article, I had to talk to a number of kids to inquire when do they feel mortified, what is the feeling of being getting embarrassed and how do they take their embarrassments later on. I was surprised as kids not only gladly shared their embarrassing moments but they confessed that at most times embarrassments add some fun in life. At the same time they introduced the idea of improving ourselves so that we may not undergo the same sort of embarrassment again. Read the complete article.

A SHIFT---

I'm crowded
and surrounded,
Though, not a star,
Yet alone and guarded.

Running like a freak on crowded roads......
wishing to fly, above roads,
The gear comes....
And I've on my shoulders, loads.

Let me be free, let me fly,
I want to smile and at will, cry,
I will break out, tell them,
Tell them, im on a high.

Asif Mumtaz.

Great Pakistani Women(2).
Singer.
Name: NAZIA HASSAN

Stolen from HERE
I vaguely remember our family gathering in the summer of 1985. Many of our relatives from the province of Punjab came to visit us in Karachi. It was a family tradition. Every other year either we would go to visit them or they would come to Karachi to spend a few weeks with us. It was one of those summers and I was hanging out with a couple of my older cousins in our balcony which faced the beach. Having survived three previous hot summers in Karachi I knew the value of the cool breeze that would rise from the sea and hit our balcony. We were chatting and listening to Michael Jackson's `Thriller' on my very first stereo. It was then when one of my cousins mentioned a song called `App jaisa koi meri zindagi mei aay' (`If someone like you comes into my life') by a female artist named Nazia Hassan. I had no idea whom he was talking about. Nevertheless they popped in her cassette and hit the play button. I listened to the song and within a few seconds into it, I felt the melodious beat overcoming the hot summer day and the cool breeze that came from the sea. That was my first introduction to the queen of pop!
App jaisa koi' was a hit single featured in the 1980 Bollywood movie, Qurbani. The song took South Asia by storm and Nazia, who was only 15 years old, became a star overnight. This was soon followed by her debut album Disco Dewane which also featured her brother Zoheb Hassan. The album was an instant hit. Pakistani and Indian youth welcomed this new and fresh style of music and singing with open arms. The incredible success of the album signaled one fact clearly: The sibling duo was here to stay and South Asia would be singing their tunes for a long time.

Nazia Hassan was born in 1965 in London to an affluent Pakistani family. As a kid she used to sing around the house with her brother. She was gifted with this incredible nasally voice that was plain yet intriguing. Music was simply a hobby for her and she had never considered singing as a career choice. She didn't arrive at the crossroads of her musical journey until she met Biddu, a British-Indian composer. He was really impressed by the nasally quality of her voice. After discussing his thoughts with Feroz Khan the director and star of Qurbani, Nazia was asked to sing what would become her history-making song, `Aap jaisa koi.' And that was it, her crossroads, and she chose the path that began her musical adventure.

Released in 1980, the title track from Disco Diwane was a number one hit not only in South Asia but also in a few countries in South America and the Middle East. Both the audio and video albums made record sales in India. However, Pakistani media took some time to accept this non-traditional style of singing and dancing. Pakistan Television (PTV) was reluctant to put these edgy and bold videos on air as the Pakistani television audience at the time was not used to disco/pop genre. It wasn't long before they were able to see the Pakistani youth going crazy over the audio album and the success of the music videos in India. The videos were aired in 1981 and they were a blast. The "disco deewane mania" took over the country and Nazia and Zoheb Hassan became household names. Jinnah's land was finally introduced to pop music.
The duo released another album `Boom Boom' the same year. The songs from this album were featured in another Bollywood movie, `Star'. The movie didn't do very well but the songs made history yet again. It was time for young Pakistanis, who only had Alamgir, Sheki and Naheed Akhtar as their listening choices, to get accustomed to the music of Nazia and Zoheb. And they did. Nazia and Zoheb Hassan became superstars in both countries. They were on TV talk shows, on the cover of magazines, on radio and on everyone's lips. Historically India and Pakistan had a very unstable and dangerous relationship since their independence from the Brish rule. Both countries have had a really tough time in getting along with each other. Thus it was refreshing to see the youth in both countries singing the same tunes.

The Hassans released two more albums, `Young Tarang' and `Hotline' in 1985 and 1987, respectively. Both were hit albums. The siblings loved what they were doing and the audience simply wanted more. It wasn't just one particular thing about their songs or their style of music. It was a combination of factors. The lyrics were provocative, energizing, exciting, intriguing and listeners were able to relate to them. Nazia's nasally voice, MTV style videos and disco/pop music all played into what felt like a cultural revolution.
