  1. For People Like Me, Who Grew Up Listening To The ' Radio Pakistan ' And Watching ' Pakistan Television PTV ' Once Only Two Media Mediums In Pakistan, It's Too Difficult To Believe The Reality That ' Legends ' Once We Saw And Heard Are No More With Us ….. Or They Will Ever Leave This Materialistic World !

    May Almighty God Bless Her Soul The Eternal Peace ( Aamin ).
