I appreciate how the magazine highlights avenues and things to do in the city for someone like me who’s just moved to the metropolis....

Dear Ed,

I loved this week’s Exhibition: a glimpse into artists’ mind. Previously, you guys would just add the title of the artwork. This time, however, the descriptions were there and they really helped me understand the thought process of each artist, and what they were trying to portray in those individual pieces. That said, I appreciate how the magazine highlights avenues and things to do in the city for someone like me who’s just moved to the metropolis.

Hello Eddy,

“In Conversation with Hadi bin Arshad” was inspirational. I’ve seen him in Summer Love and Alif and enjoyed his performances! I know it’s a long shot given that he is fairly new in the industry and doesn’t have that many followers on social media, but I wish we could get more of his work on-screen. He’s clearly honest, hardworking, and committed to his work and I hope our channels learn to recognise talent sooner rather than later.

Opinion

Hi Ed,

We just celebrated our country’s 75th Independence Day. My parents talk fondly of yesteryears, how things were much simpler than they are today. Unfortunately, all I see is my country still struggling, and I feel that we’ve kind of betrayed it and those who dreamt about its birth and sacrificed their lives to get us our homeland. I see politicians whose sole interest is to grab power that comes with their positions and I see people, myself included, so caught up in our lives that we are, to be honest, least bothered and unaffected by what happens to our beloved Pakistan. Each 14 August is celebrated like New Year with similar festivities, making resolutions; perhaps one day we would make them come true.

Hi Aliya, it’s good to compare periods if the intent is to learn from past mistakes and improve the circumstances in future. Instead of crying over spilt milk or calling out others, let’s just focus on doing our part, shall we? Nothing over the top. Start small, always. Jashn-e-Azadi Mubarak!

Hi Eddy,

Haris Ikhtiar is an amazing artist. I love his anime drawings published on the back page of Us. But I miss seeing drawings of Andaleeb, Hamid Gulistan, Areeba and other Us artists.

Reflection

Narrated by Abdullah bin Amr bin Al As (R.A):

I heard Allah’s Apostle (S.A.W) saying, “Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men till when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray.”
