Finally a happy ending for Pyare Afzal




For the past few days the social media is buzzing with the wedding news of Hamza Ali Abbasi of fame Pyare Afzal. Hamza started his career with TV and after doing a few projects moved to the big screen, he is not only famous for the work he did on screen but his claim to fame is from his extremely vocal socio-political and religious views especially on social media, he is seldom politically correct and gets a lot of bashing for his opinions.

This week he was again in the news for posts about his wedding announcement to Naimal Khawaar. His long post about “Platonic Relationships” has been the topic of the grape wine. His definition of Halal relationship was a bit bizarre and was so not needed in the wedding announcement.  Many bashed him for being self righteous or holier than thou. Some called it a publicity stunt, which often the people in the media are accused off. 
  
On August 25th 2019, the social media was again highlighting his beautiful wedding ceremony; the scenic beauty of Islamabad from the top of a hill, the beautiful décor of the famous Monal restaurant and a very happy bride and groom. The ceremony was indeed a fairy tale wedding which we don’t get to see in our part of the world. Most celebrity weddings are flooded with media personals, designer wears, and elaborated events one after the other. Hamza’s nikkah somehow had a personal touch to it. The fact that it was a small ceremony for only close friends and family made it gullible and more fun for the bride and the groom. A jovial Hamza, even with less hair, pulled off the groom avatar really well . Naimal wearing her mom’s wedding outfit for her nikkah,  looked elegant and pretty. The fact that Hamza was taking his own wedding selfies and driving his car was so lovable and dreamy; hope this will put the negativity to rest and some precedent will be set  in our society to have simpler weddings.

Let’s all wish happiness and eternal bliss, to our Pyare Afzal

An infidel woman: The scandalous “pink nighty” in ‘Meray paas tum ho’.

Two days back I woke up to see social media upset and demanding PEMRA to ban a play called “M erey paas tum ho ”. The lead actress was trolled for choosing the worst role of her life and much up-roar was made about a “ scandalous pink nighty ” in one of the episodes. Since I had not watched the play I rushed to YouTube to see what the hangaama was about. To my surprise the play had a typical storyline of a middle class government employee Danish (Humanyon Saeed)   with a pretty wife Mehwish (played by Aieza Khan) and a kid, struggling to make ends meet because he is naïve and honest. His wife on the other hand dreams of a better lifestyle with luxuries. A lovable family sets the picture perfect scene of the first episode, till the entry of a rich business man Shahwar played by none other than Adnan Siddiuqi. Shahwar spots Mehwish among common friends and finds her attractive and starts giving her compliments on her beauty, the over possessive husband finds the sitaution

‘The spirit of a WOMAN’

On Sunday, my OCD kicked in and I decided to clean the house. To make cleaning a bit interesting I selected some old classics of Nayyara Noor. I played my favorite song Kabhi Hum bhie khoobsurat theye … … and held on to the magic mop with dear life. Nayyara’s with her soul searching voice sang the beautiful lyrics written by Ahmed Shamim, I could not help ponder upon the simplicity of emotions and the deep sadness  embedded    in the lyrics of this song. I have listen to it a 100 times before, but somehow with age, the meaning of many things have changed so drastically that even I am surprised myself. The song talks about the beauty of emotions more than the physicality of the beauty itself, it emphasizes on the spirit and the joy found in that jubilant spirit. Somehow beauty and age is such an important thing for women, I am not sure if it is a big issue for men also, as their age or beauty is never discussed. But for women it’s a stark reality, we often have t
