Pakistan Calling for Its Anna Hazare to Save Karachi From the Daily Dance of Death
Pakistan is calling for its Anna Hazare not for anti-corruption bill but for saving the innocent humanity in Karachi carnage.
Come on just one person from the huge crowd of President, Prime Minister, Ministers, Chief Ministers, Governors, Speakers & Deputy speakers, MNA’s & MPA’s.
Is there not even one person in this nation of 18 crore people, to just stand up and protest like Anna Hazare, against the unabated killings of innocent perons in Karachi?
The silence of the entire nation and all the organs of the state on Karachi Killings is deafning, but all of us must remember, that if today we fail to move individually & collectively, to stop the daily carnage of humanity in Karachi, then be ready to face the situation, where even our names will be scratched from the annuls of the history.
Na Samjho Gay Tou Mit Jago Gay Aay Pakistan Walo

Golden Words – The Beauty of Ageing
Those who choose to look at what they have gained from advancing years, rather than what they lose, generally have a lustrous heart and a gleam in their eye.
Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman, but an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any earthly force.
–Dorothy Sayers
For the good of the whole we need to be uncontrollable and untamed in our efforts to invite the spirit of love to quench the thirst of our souls and re-green our world.
I am thankful for the wisdom, experience, and acceptance gleaned through aging.
I am an outrageous and untamed champion of love and learning

The Demise of Indian Top Ranking in the Test Cricket
The only thing responsible for the Indian demise from the number one world position in Test cricket, is the overdose of T20 cricket; which has mentally and physically drained the players. Moreover, Indian players are not worried about Test cricket form, because of the huge amount of the money, they get from IPL. So, IPL will be remembered as a nemesis of Indian Test cricket No. 1 ranking.
Modern Miniature Master Pieces By S. M. Mansoor
Opinions of leading art scholars, writers & critics about the art works of internationally acknowledged Pakistani painter S.M.Mansoor (s.m.mansoor@hotmail.com)
“Here, in other words, is a corpus of work, which even as it may charm the eye, equally provides a cultural anchor to ‘modern miniatures’. Why of course, and yet such as are not merely decorative delights. Elephants, flying kites, horse mounted personages, maidens dancing in the vestments of another day, and much else besides, offer a profile of once living attitudes. These attitudes covered a wide range of culture, inner and outer. Via the genus, we certainly become conscious as to how mankind’s life attitudes can be at once subtle, shifting and varying. Mansoor expresses these same with objectivity. In this way he is not merely expressing himself, but attempting to catch culture in process.”
Keshav Malik, Bombay
In Mansoor’s miniatures the tradition serves as a stimulant. Thus, giving the artist a power to realize the modern vision and create in the language of his ancestors with a refreshing and spontaneous fragrance of his own times. Elements of abstraction with modern visual vocabulary in these miniatures make them distinct from the conventional miniature art in sub-continent.
Prem Singh New Dehli
Mansoor is an artist of his time but a `one off,’ unique man of great diversity. His work is an exhilarating visual experience; there is great variety in the artist’s choice of subject. In the work of Mansoor it is a joyful sharing of optimism with No elitist overtones.
Marjorie Husain, Karachi
Mansoor’s art rejects deterministic attitude. He had eliminated all the conventions of traditional miniature painting. There is a growing sense of experimental and innovation. He uses the modern sometimes abstract many times semi abstract language and molded it to express his ideas.
Dr.Shahida Manzoor, Lahore
With innovative experimentation Mansoor certainly seems to be going somewhere. Where he eventually lands up is dependant upon his sustainability and his ability to choose the single path that will satisfy his urge for adventure and assimilate his undoubted ability to use colours textures and icons from his rich traditional heritage.
Dr. .Musarrat Hasan, Lahore
Mansoor shows a deep sense and lust for experimentation, observation and scrutiny. And with this deep sense of perception he juxtaposes traditional elements with modern element. He mixes traditional techniques with modern vocabulary. No doubt Mansoor is a master, an expert and a king of modern miniature painting art in Pakistan.
