State of chaos

In its chequered history, Pakistan has endured tur-bulent times, and today it faces some of its biggest challenges: governance of a nation comprising five disparate entities—Punjab, Sind, Baluchistan, Pashtunistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK)— the extremist monster created by it in the 1970s and 1980s, political instability and, to top it all, a collapsing economy.

Bonny Charles is now king!

Since the myth of British monarchy exploded almost as soon as the queen’s death was officially announced on September 8, taking potshots or firing canon balls at King Charles III has since become a global sport. Memes galore highlight his multiple eccentricities and OCD issues. Like viral clips of the newly minted monarch throwing un-kingly tantrums over a leaking pen, as he swore during a formal ceremony in Northern Ireland, “I can’t bear this bloody thing… every stinking time!” The public scorn shifted from the leaky pen to his sausage fingers, and his insistence on having his shoe laces ironed by a butler. The bonny Charles was still behaving like a spoilt toddler—a super brat aged 73.

The passing of a tennis legend

The world was still young and fresh, and life was an adventure waiting to unfold. I was not yet 12. A Phillips transistor radio, gifted by my grandfather, had dramatically changed the quality of my life. Priced at ₹99, it was starkly simple: an on-off switch, a small dial for volume control and another larger one for tuning. But it held a world inside: the news from AIR, English music on Delhi B and Hindi film songs, interspersed with jingles, on Vividh Bharati.
