Chal Diye-Coke Studio
Ye Haryali… Ye Aasmaan….
Ye Ghataa Meri Raazdaan..
Ye Haryali… Ye Aasmaan….
Ye Ghataan Meri Raazdaan..
Raat Kay Pehlo Mein Diye
Tere Liye Hain Bichae
Tera Haath Thaam… Kay Lo Hum Bhi Chal Diye….
Hum Bhi Chal Diye….
Swept away–the only way to describe the experience that is ‘Chal Diye’. It sounds like Tina Sani has done it once again!–except this was not sung by her. The up-and-coming Zeb and Haniya performed this ballad, along with the ever-talented Javed Bashir.

Rahi nagufta mere dil me -Amal
I was clicking my way through the three-hundred something channels,bored as ever, when I spied Naseerudin Shah on the screen.
His curly mop of grey hair was bent over a piece of paper–as smoke curled around his huddled body–and sitar plucks electrified the air.
A scene from the sweetly-sad movie ‘Amal’–Naseerudin can not bear the poor rendition of this ghazal. So what does he do? He effectively challenges the young musician in the small Delhi bar–and lends a face to a memorable couple of musical clarity.

They can cook on screen …
Since private TV channels are on the boom cooking show are a must feature on all of them. Youwill find every type of personalities cooking in front of camera , with lots of oil ads and pretty anchors.
Shows like cooking with Chef Rahat , or Shai kicked the host out, these ladies take live calls and cook too.From biryani to Pizza and cake to dal they have every recipe in their sleeve.
Guys are not behind in this matter. We are actually pleasantly surprised to see Pakistan men, trying to cook and be good at it. It seems like a good trend for our Nation where men usually don`t get up to get their own glass of water. Chef Zakir, and Mehboob are the most popular among ladies.There this one new programme where they are focusing on desserts , which seems very useful.
There are two whole channels devoted to cooking by the name of “Masala Tv” and “Zauq”.After morning shows you will find chefs on every channel, and on exclusively devoted to food channels too.
How ever there are two things which are very confusing… They do not taste what they cook, even their anchors do not try tasting after cooking is done, which is very unnatural. Is it some type of Desi conduct ? Code? At the time of so much modrenity, it is hard to understand that they don’t show natural behaviour.
Other thing is they take too much time in live cooking, one can use some things half ready and get on with a dish… but usually they spend as much time on screen ,as they actually would do in their own kitchens. This is the luxury only TV in Pakistancan provide due to high ratio of ads. You will see kids acting like helpers too in shows on Wikkid.
Talking ! we are good at.
At time we seem to lose track of ” Talk Shows” every Pakistani Tv channel is presenting. If we leave the Serious debate programmes aside , only morning shows are a long list… from our out spoken Nadia k to Amber w, and Amna, and Ghazal S, then Shaista W and list goes on… They all run for almost 2 hours and usually compete to blabber most. Thanx to Nadia khan , now it is a trend that you have to be yourself on tv `s expensive airtimne and you playing cute all nation have to take. They all have to be funny and witty and have to ask personal and irrelavent question to their guests. Ratio for women anchors is amazingly high, even established actresses interviewing serious politicians.Marinma k, to Nadia J, and Atiqa O, zQ all joind this band wagon. Then there are “Golden girls” who are most hard to swallow.
- Why can`t we keep a balance, between being modren, liberal and being fair we should not try to sell every thing with a pretty face.
- Or on the otherhand some will try to throw paint on billboards and try to ban Tv at once.
- People should get to be anchors, or producers on their special ability to conduct their jobs , on merits, not on their glamour and being a known face .
- This is a kind of reverse discrimination.

Yes, not only that..she is also a ghost!
Before you get freaked out, I am referring to a drama serial–not an actual experience. ’The Ghost’ stars Sania Saeed as the ghost draped in warm red sarees, and is directed by Baber Jawed. It airs on Sundays in the evenings.
