Moni Mohsin , Author of the best selling social satire, Diary of A Social Butterfly and Tender Hooks, she is currently wrote her views on Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Academy Award for her documentary, A Girl in the River.          A girl in the river' is a documentary film based on a real story of pakistani woman. How she struggle for freedom of her own choice and how she victimize of honour killing. How far can we dis|agree with the views expressed by Moni Mohsin? This is the discussion.so first let's see what Mohsin writes in her blog... It is no secret that hundreds of women are murdered every year for honour, yet it’s taken the buzz that Sharmeen’s single film has generated abroad to prompt Nawaz Sharif’s avowal to put an end to honour killings at home and embolden Imran Khan to publicly decry the practice. In any case, there is great hypocrisy at work here. For the truth is that the very people who rail against western approbation, a...

Have you ever seen wind and water making art by themselves? Have you ever seen an artist who without any particular tool makes beautiful piece of art? Have you ever thought Time can make art more beautiful? Have you ever meet a person who don’t believe in immortality of art? Well here it is. Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculptures and land art situated in natural and urban settings. He don’t use any particular tool to create his piece of art. He goes to the nature, finds something which is given by nature, and after making it give it back to the nature. He is working with time.

He also says that everything has fluidity. Here we are talking about his documentary, “River and Tides – Working with Time” What...

What does the Archetypal critic do? In literary Criticism the term " archetype" denotes recurrent narratives designs, patterns of actions, character- type, themes & images which are identifiable in a wide variety of works of literature, as well as in myths, dreams and even social rituals.

◆ When did you have a dream? Firstly, I give the definition of "Dream". #What is "Dream"? - Thoughts, visions & other sensations that occupy the mind in sleep....that we called a dream. - An idea or vision that is created in our imagination & that is not real ....it's called "dream". - Mental activity occurring in an abrupt & unexpected way during sleep.   Usually, I haven't saw a dream at night, but sometimes it comes & it seems either too much auspicious or too much nasty, horrible & devilish. And especially when the horrible dream comes then I can't forget that dream for several days. ◆ What did you see in your dream? I remembered one dream which I saw when I was a child, perhaps 8 years old. I dreamt of a PYTHON descending from a fan & slowly slithering towards me and ultimately trapping me in its form. Let me put one video of anaconda movie ... through that my dream totally clear in everyone...

' Teacher ' means a person whose job is to teach especially in a school or college. Teacher is a person who helps others to acquire knowledge. Here is some questions and I would like to share my experience and knowledge about these questions. 1. Write something about favourite teacher. Give some reasons for it. I would like to say that My favourite teacher is my ' Sanskrit'  teacher. She is very noble person. She always helps me when I need her.

I would like to see her with her smile. She always suggests us that if you need my help you can call me at  midnight also. She helps us in our personal matters also. Sh...

       On this Independence Day we had a movie screening of LAGAN at our Department of English. The main purpose in watching this movie was to critically evaluate the main key points and to see the refraction of  Pre-Independence in the movie.        In The very beginning when the movie started the music was of a flute and then suddenly when the background changes to a soldiers cap the music of trumpets starts playing, from my view this shows the domination of British government on India.       The plot goes as there is no rain for a year in the village and the villagers are waiting for the rain. there isn't enough water to drink also. the farmers whose work is totally dependent upon rain thus they are helpless.    The character of Bhuvan the protagonist of the movie is displayed very caring for animal.In his first scene we see that some British soldiers are about to shoot a dear ...
