PNCA Quaid week
Islamabad: The weeklong cultural activities to mark the 133rd birth anniversary
of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah concluded here Saturday at Pakistan National
Council of the Arts (PNCA). The events of 'Quaid-e-Azam Week' included the screening of the movie
'Jinnah', a puppet show, and painting and speech competitions. Students from various
educational institutions of the twin cities delivered
speeches and created paintings on the life and struggles of Quaid-e-Azam
during the freedom movement. On the topic of `Hum Ne Quaid-e-Azam Ke Pakistan Ko Kia Dia', children
expressed their views in a speech competition, in which 17 schools and colleges
participated. While in the painting competition, 80 students painted images of historical
and popular buildings and landscapes of Pakistan, and portraits of Quaid-e-Azam. The painting
and speech competitions were followed by the performances of
students in tableaus. The puppet show presented short stories and other items with reference to the
struggle of Quaid-e-Azam, and social issues. With the movement of puppets, the
show depicted folk tales and skits to provide entertainment and education about
social problems including health, education, environment, etc. Based on the life
of Quaid-e-Azam, the movie 'Jinnah' is a historical saga,
which features outstanding cast, direction and production. It highlights the
various shades of the Quaid's life and thoughts that have remained out of public
focus. According to the organisers of the event, the much debated and publicised
film has three goals - to correct history, to present the liberal side of Islam
and bring to life a person largely unknown to younger Pakistanis, both at home
and abroad. The lead role of Jinnah has been played by Christopher Lee, while the
strength of the film is its dialogues, mostly quotes, that are strategically
placed. It also portrays Jinnah's early life as an ambitious lawyer in London. The news

Parveen Shakir remembered
Islamabad: Literary figures across the country eulogised literary services of
noted poetess Parveen Shakir on her 15th death anniversary. Paying rich
tribute to her services they said that she was one of those
female poets who could be regarded as pioneers in defying tradition by
expressing the "female experience" in Urdu poetry. Renowned
literary figure Iftikhar Arif while talking to this agency on
Saturday said that Parveen Shakir was the most prominent figure of literary
circle who impressed the young lot through her thematic variety and realistic
poetry. Parveen Shakir has skillfully portrayed complexities of life through her
profound insight, he added. Her poetic collection reflects the universal feelings of anger, happiness,
pain and love, besides feminine perspective of love and the associated social
problems, he said. Her published collection of works including Khushboo, Sad-barg, Khud Kalami,
Inkar, Mah-e-Tamam are considered as the most popular collections in literary
history and admired by people, Iftikhar Arif said. Elaborating, Iftikhar Arif said that her poems reflect a simple yet deep
lucidity that is generally associated with folk songs. However, her ghazals
represent a combination of classical tradition with modern sensitivity. Using
beautiful stylistic devices like metaphors, simile and personification
in musical way, she has introduced a broad concept of romanticism in her poetry,
he commented. Parveen Shakir has added a new dimension to the traditional theme of love by
giving expression to her emotions in a simple style and she has used variety of
words to convey different thoughts with varying intensities using imaginative
insight, Iftikhar Arif said. He added that she has given the most beautiful female touch to Urdu poetry.
Her poetry was a breath of fresh air. She used the first-person feminine
pronoun, which is rarely used in Urdu poetry even by female poets. Parveen Shakir's
death was a major loss for the Urdu poets' community and
fans. The literary pieces she left would be remembered for a long period of
time, he said. Her first book 'Khushboo' won the Adamjee Award. Later she was awarded the
Pride of Performance. She got masters degrees in English literature and linguistics. She also did
Ph.D and masters in Bank Administration. Parveen Shakir died in a car accident
in Islamabad. Her death has deprived Urdu literature of an outstanding poet who
had yet to reach the peak of her creativity. The nation
