Last week was a happening one.
On last tuesday there was a Tutorial of my college magazine, a yearly event that every college club organizes.We had a discussion on the Importance of Media today.
Lots of Media Personel were there,
1. Tariq Amin
2. Seemi Raheel(actress who comes in Olpers commercial and she is also a fellow from Harvard Medical College)
3. Surmad Khoosat (of Shashlik Fame)
4. Faisal Shahid ( T.V actor)
Seemi and Faisal initially beleived that work is being done on the media but goes unnoticed when people have so much choice.... but later when Tariq Amin admitted that if Star Plus was there 10 years ago they wud still watch it...and then it turned out that everyone agreed with him....
Soaps are commercially rewarding and therefore favourite for the producers ....unlike children's program which dont generate as much revin as plays and megazine shows do....
The discussion was the first of its kind that I had ever experienced...
On Wednesday i Went to Christian wedding in the Cathedral...never been inside a cathedral before....the bride looked like the heroine in Shrek..covered in white mud and wearing a beautiful white dress( they rent dresses)...lol...very angelic....all the relatives were in sarees and lehngas and everything....even the kids wore saris lol...
The Drama Festival took place this friday and had LGS, LUMS,KC and UET taking part in it....lol....
LUMS and UET came up with humour---the same old parodies and skit-like comedies...that have as lil grey matter stimulation as possible lol...UET did Punjabi...Sultan's Rahi's leg-pulled..lol....it was uncouth and grotesque on many occasions.......but KC had a tribute to Marie Anne Schimmel...a serious drama..comment on the modern man and suggested refuge in Sufism (thats what i think)....a arrogant , intolerant guy learns to be humble and humane.....atleast someone came with something original... "Bishna"..it was called...
LGS also hada a semi comedy in which two men fell for the same girl but unable to express....alot of hard work was put in the co-ordination and dance-like movement...
