| Summary/Abstract |
On an aggravatingly warm evening in Bannu, Aziz Jan is slowly melting into a puddle of sweat. He fans himself with his hands; he tugs at his clothes. Every few minutes, to prevent his palms from slipping, he throws talcum powder from a small box on his tablas - when he pounds on them, little puffs of powder rise into the air and burst before his face.
Across the room, a man flinches. "Play a little softly," he calls out. "It's Ramzan."

| Summary/Abstract |
The two have traditionally had different relations with the top military leadership. Due to his family's military background, Khan always fancied himself as his party's natural choice for overseeing civil-military relations. Asif, on the other hand, has had a history of strongly opposing the role of the military and intelligence agencies in civilian politics

| Summary/Abstract |
From major multinational corporations to medium - and small scale enterprises, the water bottling industry has been thriving consistently. This is surprising, considering that bottle water is a costly option and the privilege of choice, at a high price tag of, say, 150 Rupees for a 19 litter bottle.

| Summary/Abstract |
Imagine a city that requires 1,000 million gallons of water every day and then imagine a system that, even in the best case scenario, can carry only half of that water to the city. It is inevitable that dishonest officials, unscrupulous elements, profiteers and even crime rackets see this shortage as a window of opportunity to make a quick buck. Quite naturally, those vested in its failure would like to keep the system as inadequate and inefficient as it always has been. This is Karachi and a summary of its water woes for you.

| Summary/Abstract |
One April day in 2013, six artists got together and envisioned Karachi as they would like to see it, in place of the crumbling, violent megacity at their doorstep. Months later, in November, the team brought to their city a three-day explosion of street art, theatre, discussions, documentary screenings, exhibitions and live music under the the Pursukoon Karachi Festival. For a lasting effect, the festival launched its ultimate undertaking - renovating the Karachi Cantonment Railway Station.
