A fabulous affair, the Lahore literary festival, which concluded recently.
A bit of an embarrassment one of the days, though. Apparently, one of the organisers did not recognize Fehmida Riaz and did not, initially let her proceed to the stage.
Well, she is only the country’s most famous poetess, so it is understandable, really, that an organizer at a lit-fest didn’t recognize her.

The parliament lodges are a den of prostitution and liquor, says MNA Jamshed Dasti. Well, few would disagree with that statement. But one of the debauchees even had the temerity to place a bottle at the top of his door.
What was worse, the bottle was empty!
Well, not quite empty. It was interesting to see footage of him showing the bottle to a policeman and journalist and seeing the latter smelling the contents and nodding knowing nods of their heads.
