Things keep running in circles in the Islamic Republic. Actually the more they change the more they remain the same. And the irony of circumstances is not lost on us. The country has a new democratically elected Prime Minister. But the question arises is Mr Yousuf Raza Gilani really in charge? All the clues we [...]
Barrister Aitzaz Ahsen has been recognized by the Foreign Policy Journal as the world’s fifth best public intellectual. Here is the link: The World’s Top 20 Public Intellectuals. Read it yourself.
There has surely been criticism too especially because the journal claims that top ten of the world intellectuals are Muslims. Yet on my part I [...]
It so happens that I am totally fed up with De Bono’s six thinking hats. After all, you have to pay dearly if you wear a hat in the scorching heat of summers here. But my problem does not end here. I mean it is quite often that in any corporate office or wherever you [...]

We are told that the administration in Dubai has asked the Geo Network to either shut its transmission or then to close down two of its best selling programs Capital Talk and Merey Mutabiq again.

While on one side it is trying to play up the issue of the judiciary’s restoration for the populist gains it is also true that it is practically doing nothing in Punjab to do the same.
