		<title>Nahaj ul Balagha - Looking back to Get Ahead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Raza Rumi
Fahmida Riaz is Pakistan’s premier female poet. She became a sensation in the early 1970s when her bold, feminist poetry created a stir in the convention ridden world of Urdu poetry. Riaz was expressive, sometimes explicit, and politically charged. She created a completely new genre in Urdu poetry with a post-modern sensibility. Later, she [...]

		<title>Guantanamo? The Worst of the Worst?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was introduced to Mahvish Khan&#8217;s daring work by Irfan. Her close work at the infamous Guantanamo Bay is remarkable for the insights and reversal of the dehumanisation that was until recently sanctioned by the state and corporate media.. An excerpt from her promising books - MY GUANTÁNAMO DIARY: The Detainees and the Stories They [...]

		<title>A World with No Boundaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With every breath the sound
of love surrounds us,
and we are bound for the depths
of space, without distraction.
We&#8217;ve been in orbit before
and know the angels there.
Let&#8217;s go there again, Master,
for that is our land.
Yet we are beyond all of that
and more than angels.
Out beyond duality,
we have a home, and it is Majesty.
That pure substance is
different from [...]

		<title>that overgrown suitcase of memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This poem (or an excuse of a poem) was written in a flash for a friend who asked for advice whether to meet an old flame or not.

If you have to go to the North, my love
Why not take the first train
To gaze at the autumn sky
Feel the chilly air in your bones
Clear all the [...]

		<title>Vandana Shiva on Farmer Suicides&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Indian farmers have never committed suicide on a large scale. It&#8217;s something  totally new. It&#8217;s linked to the last decade of globalization, trade  liberalization under a corporate-driven economy. The seed sector was liberalized  to allow corporations like Cargill and Monsanto to sell unregulated, untested  seed. They began with hybrids, which can&#8217;t [...]

		<title>Guest Stars at the Long March</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My article that appeared in Dawn. here.
THE enthusiasts for the long march towards Islamabad are justifiably feeling let down by the grand posturing, thundering rhetoric and the subsequent retreat from agitation outside the dreary citadels of power in Islamabad’s dark heart.
A Bastille, which was not meant to be? Interpretations abound and explanations are flowing in [...]

		<title>mystical expressionism and Jamali&#8217;s art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Jamali is a contemporary artist of Pakistani origin. It was a delight to have discovered his artistic vision.
Mystical expressionism is a new mode of art-making that combines the scientific insights of our new age with humankind&#8217;s ancient wisdom. Obeying the dream guide who set him on the path to art, Jamali himself has named his [...]

		<title>Gulzar&#8217;s Mera Kuchh Samaan&#8230;</title>

Someone forwarded me the text and I suddenly remembered all those evenings, when this song was played and re-played amid friends, beloveds and memories. All the little objects of my room at home (that has changed so many times now), [...]
