#MySaturdaySong🎼 #PathanayKhan was my gateway drug. I stumbled on his soulfulness when I was around 15. He opened totally new vistas for me. I was obsessed. Many friends and family thought I was crazy (some still do). But, what could I do? I was in love. I still am.

Known as the "Father of Urdu Literature" the "Father of Qawalli", and "Tota-e-Hind" (The Parrot of Hind), Amir Khusro is arguably the most renowned name from 13th century Urdu poetry. He also introduced the Ghazal to the subcontinent.

Remembering the legendary #MehdiHassan, Shahenshah-e-Ghazal (Emperor of Ghazal), on his birthday. His soulful voice and iconic songs continue to mesmerize us to this day. His legacy lives on in our hearts and in the world of music. #MehdiHassan #GhazalMaestro #PakistaniLegend

This is your average Punjabi suit. Tunics (kameez) and suthan (trousers) have been worn by women in modern Pakistan for centuries. The phulkari embroidery, originating from this land, makes these suits uniquely appealing.

My book published by National Book Foundation in 2023. The book is ‘on books and about books’.It gives information on the more than 400 books authored by more than 140 Pakistani diplomats since Pakistan came into being in 1947. Should be useful for researchers and libraries.

Trump says for 25th time that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan. Also, says 5 fighter jets were down. Modi, to hide the truth, skips the parliament session and goes for another foreign trip.
