BRIDGE NOTES: Dead defence - either way

WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): Many a time, a contract looks ice cold but declarer gets tangled up with a killing lead from the defense, which upsets the balance and along with it, the declarer's natural and obvious plan to muster up his tricks.




TV THOUGHTS: Have ordinary people donated more to TV channels than to government?
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): The Floods 2010, whose negative impact in the country could well get stretched for the next five years, at least, have thrown up a very significant way of fund raising. Possibly, for the first time, the news channels, and the TV networks and publishing houses that they belong to, are doing their own fund raising, and regularly updating the amounts that they are collecting from the people.



ART FACTS: Colourful vibes
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): What a painting depicts reflects the interest of an artist. The theme chosen by the artist should attract the viewers, because if no one understands what the artist wants to say in the painting, then the motive of painting is dead. And in the end has the painting reached to the satisfaction of the artist himself/herself.



Building basic learning skills of children
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): Home is the first academy of a child, where he gets nurturing guidance and training from his parents. Parent's attention gives the child inspirations to make them role models from an early age. It is, therefore, said that children are product of either good or bad parenting.



LITERARY NOTES: International Sufi Council From a concept to a reality
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): When was the word "Sufism" first used? In my opinion it could be coined only by one who wanted to differentiate western mysticism from Islamic mysticism. I admit that it was a difficult mission so I gave it up and thought that I was also one of those writers who used "Sufism" as a differentiating version of mysticism along with countless others.



It's not cricket
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): Match-fixing or game fixing in organised sports occurs when a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result. Where the sporting competition in question is a race then the incident will be referred to as race fixing. Games that are deliberately lost are sometimes called thrown games.



KARACHI CHRONICLE: coping with influx of IDPs in Karachi
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): Unlike the rest of Sindh, Karachi was well prepared to receive the massive influx of flood survivors, but the absence of central control to unify the relief work has caused chaos. The CDGK, Sindh government, political parties and medical and NGOs teams are working in a most disorganised fashion.



Fruits of Democracy
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (September 04, 2010): The coalition government came into power through NRO, a deal which was brokered between stakeholders within and outside Pakistan. During the process, Asif Ali Zardari became President by default. Since then, the country is being governed in a so called "democratic manner." Let us examine some of the fruits of this democracy.



BRIDGE NOTES: Without that intra finesse

WEEKEND MAGAZINE (August 28, 2010): Every illustration of a bridge hand is an indication of the great variety that the game offers, in its each and every aspect-in the bidding, in the skills of declarer play and the fine art of defence. Today's hand taken from the bridge. Mastereo Edgar Kaplan's, ingenuity is a classic illustration of how a good bidding is produced, followed by what could possibly have been a skilful defence, failing which, the opportunity for an expert like Kaplan to exhibit a majestic dummy play.




TV THOUGHTS: Lynching means what? What else have the floods swept away?
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (August 28, 2010): Let us begin with what President Asif Ali Zardari has said on the floods that the country is trying to cope with - alongwith help from within and overseas. It is in the international context, in that sense.
