A seminar on South Asian women entrepreneurs was held recently at the Avari in Lahore. The chief minister was the chief guest and some notables were also present. What was absent was talk on women entrepreneurs.
The trade body mandarin running the show spent some time blowing his own trumpet. Only to be followed by his praise of the chief minister, his older brother (you might have heard of him) and a former MNA, a lady who was also present.

The eBay of the subcontinent, OLX, has plenty of interesting stuff going around. But recently, there have been some rather interesting items on sale. No, nothing carnal; those exchanges are the realm of Craigslist, though attempts have been made on OLX.
No, the items in question are those tear-jerkingly expensive ladies’ handbags. Apparently there are ladies – who aren’t doing all too well financially or maybe aren’t doing too bad but inflation has gotten to them – who want to divest themselves off their luxury bags.
Many upwardly mobile ladies are flocking to the website to catch a good deal for themselves. Some trickster has got to get in the game and make money off knockoffs. Perhaps even the items being sold by the ladies themselves were, unbeknownst to them, fake as well.
