You know how, sometimes, you want to write a post on something big and important but then along comes something trivial but so funny that it's hard to pass up? Well, that's what I feel right now.

Read the descriptions of the storylines. In the interest of easy reading, I am reproducing them verbatim below (my favourite has to be #4):

Read the descriptions of the storylines. In the interest of easy reading, I am reproducing them verbatim below (my favourite has to be #4):
1. Is woman made to sacrifice herself on man's desire?
2. Is a woman so useless that she can be kept and left on one's own wish?
3. Does a widow have the right to remarry?
4. Helpless woman with limited options.
5. Is it really hard to believe a woman?
6. Is a woman born only to be used?
7. Is woman so weak that any man can shake her existence?
What a rollicking week of entertainment to look forward to. Or could one say that the success of the relentlessly misery-focused Bol has gone to Geo's head?

*dies*
salute to the creative writer, translater rather and the creative manager for this presentation....what a waste of resources...dont they have anybody to supervise...ch
If possible please do a piece on the whole series. Would love to know whether they actually manage to address some of those issues (am not in Pakistan). Thanks!
Hahahah! Read that in The News and couldn't stop myself from getting the laughter fits. WHAT EXACTLY WERE THEY THINKING. I know they're dealing with social issues and all but way to go with the cheap publicity.
The simple fact is.. women love to watch emo stuff!
