When you put Stage, Anwar Maqsood, and Dawar Mehmood (of  KopyKats Productions ) together the trio gives you 90 minutes of total bliss! They give you theater like no other! Mind you this one is way better than Umar Shareef and his “Baqra Qiston Pe”. Anwar Maqsood doesn’t really need an introduction, the name simply demands respect! We know anything from his pen will be golden. “Tanz – o – Maza” is a phrase associated with Anwar Sahab, and from the days of PTV w e’ve heard him say and write things that others may not have gotten away with ever. Even today when he writes for stage, you need to keep those minds open to understand his simple statements coz there’s a lot of ‘between the line’ meaning to them. Of course, if you’re knowledge of politics is as limited to mine then you can just simply laugh away at the obvious joke and nobody will know any better (The best part about his plays).

This year was a brilliant year like all the preceding years or maybe I decided I would make it a brilliant year, though coz when I look at the events that took place they’re heart breaking. Having said that, I think I wanted to be the Master of my own happiness, I wanted to be in-charge of my awesomeness so I ignored all the strings that others had, and focus on my own. It changed me, I am a different person at the end of this year than I was last year but I feel more complete with myself than ever before. 2015 was the year I met a new me! #FlashBack2015 shades of people, true colors, hollows and reality! This year I’ve seen the highest peaks and the lowest plains emotionally as well as geographically. Also I’ve seen shades of people who pr...
