BRIDGE NOTES: Be flexible for success

WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): Unlike other sports bridge, like chess, is a mind sport game where the reasoning faculty of the mind along with its logical deductions and reasonable assumptions play a vital part in the execution of a contract at bridge, which has also been reached through the same process of taxing the minds enough to leave little room for error. Bridge is basically a lesson in discipline.




TV THOUGHTS: Pak-US relationship: growing trust deficit
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): There are certain constants in Pakistan's foreign relations and its foreign policies are determined by it. One such constant surfaced this week again with the presence of Hillary Clinton, US secretary of State in Islamabad, and possibly the most permanent dimension of the Pak-US ties got underlined without any ambiguity.



LAHORE CULTURAL DIARY: The art of documentary film
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): The Government College University (GCU) has been playing a leading role in grooming the student community of the country in almost all the creative arts and cultural expositions. In continuity of its tradition the GCU organised a documentary film competition amongst the students hailing from different educational institutions.



ART FACTS: Nature's galore
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): There is hardly any painter who did not capture the beauty of nature on the canvas. Nature has always appeal the artists no matter where they live or who they are. It's a natural feeling to be attracted towards Mother Nature and thus artists depict it on their canvases.



Sowing the seeds of a better future
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): 'What I am today is because of our school and the efforts and affection of our teachers. We were living in the dark ages before we got this school in our village!' says Rizwan, who is pursuing chartered accountancy in Hyderabad and is among the first few students of the Hilal Public School at Haji Khan Goth, a remote village in Sanghar district.



LITERARY NOTES: PWA's and SAS's new role
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): The Progressive Writer's Association, since its rejuvenation after Multan Conference in April 2007, with octogenarian Hameed Akhtar as its Secretary General and Rahat Saeed as his Deputy, thought it prudent to forge close alliance with Sindhi Adab Sangat, also a progressive writer's body in Sindh.



Trust!
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): Trust, is either there, or not there. There is never an element of confusion in trust. If there is, that is not trust. Giving in to complete trust is one of the most difficult things in life. However, it is very easy to be broken. It takes ages to built trust in someone or make someone confide their trust in you. However, it takes a split second for it to be broken forever.



KARACHI CHRONICLE: Celebrating Urdu Lughat
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): It was Wednesday April 14, 2010 when the last page of the 22nd and final volume of the Urdu Lughat: Tareekhi usool par (Urdu lexicon) rolled off the press. The state ignored this historic achievement which took 52 years to be completed, even though the news was reported in the national press.



Abbotabad Diary
WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 24, 2010): At the PIA departure gate, the Pakistanis look apprehensive and the Indians furtive. A kind of collective fear overcomes the Pakistanis as to whether, having got this far, they will be able to return home without further let or hindrance; and a kind of collective guilt among the Indians who seem to think explanations are necessary for their doing something so unpatriotic as visiting our neighbouring country.



BRIDGE NOTES: Looking ahead to kill

WEEKEND MAGAZINE (July 17, 2010): The opening lead in a game of bridge can sometimes make a big difference in the outcome of the contract. It can at times, either break or make the contract. Therefore, opening leads matter a great deal and should, therefore, be made with great alacrity and care. Most of the time, the opening lead is swayed by either the opponents bidding or the partner's bidding that comes betwixt.
