I'm a visual artist and have a profound appreciation for poets and free expression. I stumbled on your blog today and look forward to reading more of your body of work. I would like to understand your perspective on "selling your soul to the devil," or rather money. More specifically, how do you feel about women in your country entering into business? Do you think it will change the family structure, and if so, how? And please excuse me if I come across as an ignorant American, but to what capacity are women seeking a life in the business in your country? Unfortunately, our news seems to dumb America down rather than informing it. I hope to not offend you, but rather have an honest dialog about life. I look forward to your response. Hello Raza,

I’m a young American in my twenties, who would love to visit Pakistan some day - particularly Lahore. I’m a visual artist and have a profound appreciation for poets and free expression. I stumbled on your blog today and look forward to reading more of your body of work.

I hope to not offend you, but rather have an honest dialog about life. I look forward to your response.

Khair, i needed a break - from work - and when i read parveen and the english translation i could not resist attempting a quick one of mine -

The Faustus In Us

in (more than) a sense
we resemble Faustus
some sell their soul
for passion, circumstances
force others, some get away
pawning their eyes
to trade in visions
some offer their minds
as collateral
it’s amusing to see
the purchasing power of money
surveying life’s wall street, we find
self respect is the object d’art
most in demand today
