Celebrating radio
By Burhanuddin Hasan
On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Radio in the world, Mr. Javed Jabbar, head of his news venture JJ Media, organised a high profile conference in Karachi recently. He killed two birds with one stone by highlighting the importance of Radio at a time when it has been submerged in the avalanche of TV channels, and also introduced his new media company in a befitting manner.

Munir Niazi
SOME clichés are very apt, for instance, when one says that Munir Niazi was the last of the bohemians, and that with his passing has come to an end a whole era marked by that nearly extinct breed of poets who spent a lifetime making poetry — and just that. His was a soul untouched by all worldliness; he found little alluring in life; he lived and died an existentialist: searching to put some meaning to being, to life itself. The quest was a lost cause, and he knew it; remorselessly, he asked himself: zinda rahen to kya hai jo mar jaaen ham to kya?

Death of a giant |
| |
Munir Niazi's death has left the country's literary landscape parched and barren. Perhaps the most distinguished poet of his generation, Niazi had a distinctive voice that was all of his own. His ability to infuse new life into mundane words and to forge startling metaphors from everyday language remains unsurpassed. Haunting, melancholy, mysterious and achingly poignant, Niazi's verse deliberately eschewed ornamentation and elaborate allusions and spoke directly to the heart.
