MUSIC - food or intoxicant for soul

By Mohammad Zohaib Siddique • Feb 5th, 2010 • Category: Entertainment

Now-a-days people think that music is the food of soul. But I don’t think so. Music is totally opposite to food. It is the intoxication of soul. Music destroys our soul as smoking, and drinking destroy our body. Let’s compare music with the criteria of food and intoxication both. The definition of food is “Any [...]

Review - The IDP Charity Concert

By The Partylicious • Jun 5th, 2009 • Category: Entertainment

Not many know that the IDP Charity Concert held last month came together in barely a week’s time! Interestingly, Partylicious heard about the event 5-6 days before its D-Day when we were sitting down for an informal chatter with Adnan Sarwar of Racing Pakistan. When he told us that efforts were being made to make this concert happen in a matter of 5 days, we eyed him doubtfully and then his green tea wondering if it had been spiked or something. 5 days only? Why not give it another week’s cushion? “The people who need our assistance can’t wait, then how can we. It will happen for sure,” he had said with a glint of hope and conviction in his eyes.

And happen it did!

I am observing a painful trend in the homeland. Even in the holy month of Ramadan many young people (though not all) can be found talking animatedly about Indian musical programmes like Indian Idol and Voice of India. The names of these programs are manifestos of themselves, they are not our idols and they are [...]
