NO NEWS WEEKEND
Sunday, 20th December 2020
My favourite song these days is a fairly unknown one but it’s by Coldplay and called, “A head full of dreams”. It (obviously) is about having a lot of dreams and being what you want to be. Something stood out about a look-back video we recently posted, in which Shahrukh Khan, the king of Bollywood, tells Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir that he had an Imran Khan fan moment when SRK wasn’t a big star and Imran Khan was a cricketer. SRK asked Khan for his autograph and Khan ‘yelled’ at him and SRK was upset. Later on, when SRK became a big star and met Khan he told him about when they first met. What stood out to me wasn’t the ‘being yelled at’ – but imagine how great SRK would’ve felt telling someone he idolised that there was a time he had been yelled at by them – and now he’s in the same league as them. A dreamy feeling to be sure. In other SRK news, his new movie “Pathan” apparently has a bunch of stars in it – including Salman Khan. Seems like SRK wasn’t the only one who dreamt of stardom. Our very own former president Asif Zardari was a child actor and played a child in a Waheed Murad movie. In Pakistan, there are people who see a problem, dream up a solution and become superstars – this week’s Sunday Superstar Ali Gul is no less. He invented  an “Eye Smart Helmet” which has been designed to protect miners from various mining hazards in Balochistan. Sometimes dreams backfire. Public policy expert Hasaan Khawar writes about how things are about to get much tougher with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and how bijli ki keemat dubara bharne wali hai. Kaisay chale ga yeh? Samajh nahi aati. Urooj ko bhi samajh nahi aata when we hear stories about how politicians have really expensive things, after Maryam Nawaz was criticised by the PTI for allegedly spending ‘qaum ka paisa’ on what she wanted. Urooj went to a university in Lahore (when schools were open) and asked students whether politicians ko mehngi cheezain dikhani chahiye ya bhai, har bunday ka haq hai kay woh dikhaye jo dikhana hai. A guy on his wedding day got four giant portraits of his new bride and showed them to her in a viral video on social media. Every girl’s dream? Ashar’s weekly dream of eating out for free led him to a restaurant in Iqbal Town in Lahore for a Hunter Beef burger, but he didn’t think it was worth the money. 

What do you dream about and what makes life worth it for you? Reply and let me know and let’s discuss how to create a place where all of us can achieve what we want and what we need. On that note, a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone celebrating – may all your dreams come true.
