Khalid Khokhar

''Even wanderers can become mavens''

Khalid Khokhar, a renowned name in journalism, who has not only worked in print and electronic media, but is also working for the betterment of digital media. Khalid Khokhar is presently an Executive Editor in Daily Jeejal Hyderabad, President of Hyderabad Union of Journalists and SAFMA (South Asian Federation of Media Association) Hyderabad chapter, also an Editor at Online Indus News. He is working in Sindh TV Network as well.

Basically, Khalid Khokhar hails from Bhan Saeedabad, but he shifted to Hyderabad in 1980s. He belonged to a middle-class family. His father, Mohammad Essa, was a High School Teacher. Khalid got an inspiration to work as a journalist from his maternal uncle, who was an Editor of Ibrat Newspaper. He says, I used to observe my mamu throughout his work, his attitude towards his co-workers and his commitment towards his duty. At that time, there were not much newspapers and the only channel was PTV but my uncle’s cooperation and public relations were highly respected.

Though Mr. Khokhar completed his secondary education in 1982, but he was working as a proof-reader in Ibrat newspaper since 1981. He continued working there for four years, till 1984 and then he left it. After his matriculation, he shifted to Hyderabad and resided in Khokhar Mohalla. Half of his family lived in Hyderabad while, others remained in Saeedabad. In 1985, when Mohammad Khan Junejo became the Prime Minister, he took over Mehran newspaper, Khalid worked with Niaz Panhwar and Mehmood Yousufani, the editors of Kawish and Ibrat newspaper.

The biggest change came into his life when he shifted to Karachi in 1987, he joined Ibrat and then joined Barsat newspaper till 1992 he remained as News Editor. At that time, composing was very much difficult, coloured pictures were not easy to publish in newspapers but negatives were in use. Sources for news were radio and telephones. But now, technology has changed and gave feasible typing as well as printing process.

When he joined Ibrat, his pay was rupees 325 but he left it and joined Mehran newspaper and was given 750 rupees per month.  It was a difficult time of his life when he was working as a reporter in Karachi. A personal conveyance is very much important for a reporter but he faced transportation problems and lived in hostel with his friend. He used to travel in local buses to reach his destination.

Once, Taaj Joyo came as a guest to him he says, Khalid had to attend the press conference of G.M. Syed, suddenly I felt hungry and asked Khalid, if he has some money. Khalid replied, I have just 5 rupees and if we would spent these in eating, we will have to go in meeting by foot. I said, I cannot stay hungry so he gave me those 5 rupees and we ate corns. After that, we walked 4 to 5 miles to reach in the press conference. He is such a caring friend.

In 1998, Khalid Khokhar worked as a Resident Editor in Sach newspaper, with Editor Agha Saleem. In 1999, he became an Editor of this newspaper. Later, he became an Executive Editor of Jeejal newspaper and also worked in Sindh TV Network as Director of news and current affairs.

He got married with a lady from Tando Allahyar. He has 2 kids and his marriage proved lucky for his future, as he got more accomplishments and success in his life after his marriage. He is the one and only person, who stayed on different posts in Hyderabad Press Club. In 2007, he became president there. At that time, the land issue was the main clash for the journalists of Hyderabad. Khalid requested Qaim Ali Shah in this purpose and due to his efforts and requests, they got 75 acres in 2010.

When asked about any regret in life, Khalid told that in 1986, when Iqbal Ahmed was a reporter of BBC news, people complained against him that he do not report the harsh attitude of army towards common man. Mr. George Arne, who look after the issues of Afghanistan and Pakistan, came to conduct an interview of G.M. Syed in Hyderabad. I met him for the first time and he offered me to be the reporter of BBC from Hyderabad and send us news. Due to my deferment and irresponsibility, I did not joined BBC that time and I still feel sorry for that.

A kind, simple and generous man having a smile on his face is way too much frank, jovial and vigorous. He has strong feelings for his friends. He sorrowed over the accident of his friend, Sarmad Sindhi, a singer with whom he spent most of his time during stay in Karachi.  The death news of his beloved friend, Mir Murtaza Bhutto was also very shocking for him and turned him into tears. He always keep helping his friends passionately. Once, he was invited in two marriage ceremonies by his friends in Islamabad and Gujranwala. He reached there on a short notice and attended both ceremonies.

He worked in different environments by changing places. He was like a wanderer. Sometimes, he left his working place due to less wages and sometimes due to lack of interest. He says, I have learnt a lot through these wanderings and I am still learning. He said that I worked in different newspapers and I wandered for my goal hence, I achieved it. He advises to the folks, never think that you are superior to others, always try to make others happy and try to help them with the core of your heart without expecting anything from them. Only through this, you may find console and success in your life.

Trends of Sindhi Dramas


There was a time, when Sindhi media, especially dramas were jam-packed with a number of talented producers, directors, writers, as well as, actors. Many talented entities opened their eyes here. Sindhi dramas proved to have an intense effect on the viewers from the very beginning. But now, slowly and gradually this impact is drifting off.

Before partition, a huge number of Sindhi stage dramas took place. Mirza Qaleech Baig’s dramas like, Enquiry Officer, Zeenat, Khurshed and Gulan Wari Chokri, Khanchand Daryani’s drama, Zamindari Zulm and Mohammad Usman Diplai’s drama, Shadi, are some of the prominent stage dramas and writers of that time.


After partition, Sindhi people continued stage dramas, in which they showed their grief and nuisance. They sustained the trend of open-air theatres. The stage dramas were presented in Besant hall and Zubaida Girls College hall Hyderabad. Open-air theatres were commonly in practice, in the rural areas of Sindh. People say, "The beauty of open-air theatre is that, it attracts a large audience for entertainment and helps convey a critical message in the local language of the people”. In a region, where the majority of the rural population is illiterate, theatre is an effective way to communicate new ideas. The dramas of that time, were not so stretched but, their sole aim was to give information on subjects including message of peace, humanity, love and were frequently on the reality of society.

There is not a precise history of Sindhi stage dramas. But, they were typically based on Sindhi traditions and literature. The era of revolution of media aroused, when Pakistan Television (PTV) started to catch the eye of viewers and introduced a strategy to show programs in every province in their mother tongue. It was an effective way to keep endurance of provinces and their languages. Many dramas like, Marvi (a modern version of Sindhi folk tale), Amar Jaleel’s, Mitti Ja Marhun (real face of the society and the reality faced by poor people from feudal lords), Hafiz Kumbhar’s, Hathen Gul Mehandi, a good piece of Sindhi culture, beside these, Morr Udanra Morr, Aaino, Natak Rang, Abdul Qadir Junejo’s, Rani Ji Kahani and Khan Sahib, Hayat Ali Shah’s, Khuwab Aeen Khwahishun and Jinni Kanr Jiyas, Razaq Mehar’s, Jyapo, and especially "Dangea Manjh Darya" scripted by Ali Baba, produced by Haroon Rind, from PTV also achieved an award in German festival.

Other than these, dramas of Rashid Sabir, Shamsher Hydri, Shaukat Shoro, and Agha Rafique produced by Abdul Kareem Baloch, Sultana Siddiqui, Haroon Rind, Nawab Mehdi, Hamid Halepoto, Faiz Bughiyo, Mohammad Bux Samejo, Naeem Baloch and many others, were launched, through which viewers learned a lot. PTV used to present quality programs with vital importance of moral lessons. PTV dramas were very much bountiful that, in Poona institute, Indians used to get trained in acting by watching them.

After 2004, many private channels like KTN, Kashish TV, Sindh TV, Mehran TV and Dharti TV emerged and Sindhi media became one of the largest media society. There are around more than 20 private Sindhi media channels, which are on-air in Pakistan. Presently, these channels are presenting dramas like, Mama Laalu, Pathar Dunya, and Dunya Dardan Ji. The usual and all-inclusive theme of these dramas is tight-fisted and based on feudalism, sub-standard comedy, vulgarity, terrorism, and immoral dialogues like kutr kutr kare chadendo saeen and khairaan jay sir jo khair hujy, all the more so, drama Dunya Dardan Ji is dubbed version of Indian drama.

According to some writers, such spectacular exhibition of feudalism lifestyle is actually creating antagonism and severe fissures between social classes, whereby entirely obliterating chances of inspiring any positive change. The prime focus should be themes that the general viewership can relate to. Nowadays, merely 10% dramas of these private channels are promoting Sindhi culture, while others are representing Sindhi people as orthodox and obscurantist. Reality is that, interest and investment are two main pillars, through which any business can make progress and while it comes to Sindhi private media channels, no one invests, even actors are not given proper wages. Consideration of new script in Sindhi media, seems like a castle in Spain. Because, skilled writers like, Abdul Qadir Junejo, Shaukat Shoro and Ali Baba are not given chance to write. The producers and directors of the private channels are not well-trained and qualified like, PTV directors and producers that is why they are lacking quality programs.

The core reality is that, the emergence of these private channels, internationalization and commercialization has induced diminishing or no interest in Sindhis towards their mother tongue and their culture by showing this type of programs. Legends like Shafi Muhammad Shah, Qurban Jeelani, Ghazala Rafeeq, Noor Muhammad Lashari, A.R Baloch and Mansoor Baloch are hard to find. There is not any comparison between the golden age of Pakistani entertainment programming and today’s dramas (especially Sindhi). What is being consumed by the people today? Sindhi dramas should educate the masses, yet the only education most of them provide is on how the illiterate people of interior live, dress, eat, and socialise. Well-trained and educated writers, producers, directors should be given a chance to work for the revival and triumph of our Sindhi dramas.

feature by Mahira Majid. Philtres, natural cure or disaster

Feature by: Mahira Majid Ali

Philtres, Perhaps a natural cure or a disaster.

Some people may find the word ‘Philtre’ mysterious and may be unaware of its meaning. Basically, philtre is a magic potion, a tonic supposed to arouse love, affection and desire for a particular person. But, here philtre is not used in that sense, it is not merely meant to be a love arousal drink. Philtres, at this juncture, actually means Desi Tips, you can say Homemade Tips or simply Totkay, which are being used by many of literate, as well as, illiterate populaces in some or other ways.

Formerly, experienced old women of villages, used to share number of philtres (totkas) regarding health issues with their daughters, daughters-in-laws and other friends and felt happy. They gave number of natural philtres (totkas) like using neem leaves for long and strong hairs, a droplet of desi ghee in ear for reducing headache, using fennel or fennel water for indigestion, turmeric was supposed as a natural antibiotic. It was used heavily as a medicinal paste to clean and heal serious wounds. Ginger was considered great for inflammation, so ginger tea during colds, flu, sore throat, even body aches was used and it worked great. In ancient time, rural community relied on these philtres because there were no doctors or other experts to treat them. So, they experimented these philtres. Many of them found these experimentations beneficial in past, many folks are getting advantage from these philtres till now.

However, at the present time, everyone is becoming health advisor and is offering different philtres (totkas) without any practical evidence. Even, when there is no need of these philtres some people are providing them for their publicity and are feeling pleasure. You might have listened about Dadi Amma kay Totkay, Zubaida Aapa kay Totkay, Bilquees Aapa kay Gharelu Desi Totkay, Naheed Aapa kay Gharelu Totkay and so on. Furthermore, loads of books, internet websites and mobile apps are also introduced on this subject.

Today, philtres (totkay) are widely being used in our daily life. Totkay are very popular not only in old ladies of Pakistan but at the present time, fashionable women also try to find out "Gharelu Nuskhe" to enhance their beauty or solve their health problems. They use philtres for their treatments and mostly do not consult a doctor for their health issues. In addition, men also try to find out Homemade Totkay for beauty. Sometimes, people even do not bother to think about their negative effects and are trusting and using them blindly.

Philtres (totkas) are used all over the world to ease life and make things easier to do. People say, Totkay are simple tips that cost us nothing but solve our daily problems easily and effectively. In today’s time and age, philtres have become so common, that medicines have totally taken a back seat.

People do not weigh up the proficiency of the person giving these philtres and after hearing they set off to make the recipe given by some unskilled people and apply them on their face, hair, body and drink or eat these formulations as well. People think that these homemade remedies are cheaper and are providing them the finest and hand-picked results. One should not set on for the cheapest, when it comes to health. As, Jim Rohn says, Take care of your body it is the only place you have to live.

No doubt, these philtres are ready to lend a hand to some extent, congruently, they may prove to be terrible or maltreated. . By applying these mixtures and liquids, suggested by inexpert, we may get good result for a short span of time, but sometimes these potions and mixtures give ridiculous results. One of my kin, is a great victim in maltreatment of these totkas. She likes long hairs and when she heard that by applying onion juice on scalp we can get long hairs, she started to apply it and made her routine to use onion juice without even verifying its outcomes. At last, she faced patchy hair loss. It was proved to be a recipe of disaster for her.

Since Diabetes runs in the family, some people often juice up bitter guard and would have quarter cup juice of it twice a week. They say that, “bitter guard juice is really good and helpful for diabetic patients”.  Another diabetic patient shared her views and said, “I am a diabetic patient and I am always told to try desi Totkay like drinking bitter guard juice etc. I simply hate it and I do not rely on this type of foolish activities and remedies. When we have doctors and clinics we should not do our self-medication”.

Contrary to this some people say, what’s wrong with totkas? Our ancestors survived on these totkas, only that their food was healthy and they practically did their work themselves and led an active life. They had no motorised vehicles and many had to walk distances. In the West, people are now realising that what their ancestors did was better and good, who ate simple non GMO food and did their own work. They are realising that the chemical and manufacturing industries along with doctors are cause of many ailments.

A Plant Pathologist said, “I used all kinds of remedies, but when I grew up I really and honestly hate this kind of treatment, that I would rather die than do these elaborate preparations”.

Self-diagnosis and self-medication has become somewhat of our national habit. Even in cities, where there are a number of private clinics, hospitals and labs, it is not doctors we pay our first visit to when sickness strikes. Occasionally, we push doctors to keep their stethoscopes in their pockets. Sometimes, grandma’s totkay, are enough to fix small problems like the common cold but for other health problems we must consult to specialist. Because when a plants leaves are turning brown you don’t paint the leaves green. You look at the cause of the problem. It is duty of the punter, to mull over the wear and tear of everything they use, to live a better life.

Nature has gifted us many beneficial and applicable stuffs to take pleasure of living. There is no question that Earth has been a giving planet. Everything humans have needed to survive, and thrive, was provided by the natural world around us: food, water, materials for shelter, and even natural cycles such as climate and nutrients. In all the things of nature there is something of the marvellous, but get to grips with all these things depend on us.

As a universal paradox says,You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequences of your choice.

Your body is a temple, not a trash can. If you will not take care of it, who will?

''زندگی ہر ایک انسان کو بہترین بنانے کا موقع ضرور دیتی ہے"

 ایسے ہی بلوچستان سے تعلق رکھنے والا " غلام علی بلوچ" اسی ہی سوچ کا مالک ہے۔ جو اپنی محنت اور لگن سے آگے بڑھ رہا ہے۔ جسے زندگی نے خود کو سنوارنے کا موقع دیا۔

کم عمری میں کام کی تلاش میں اور کاندھوں پر ذمیداریاں اٹھاۓ حیدرآباد آیا۔ اسٹیٹ لائف کی بلڈنگ جو اس وقت تعمیراتی مراحل میں تھی ، اس کے سامنے بنی بریانی بیچنے والی چھوٹی سی دکان میں ویٹر کی حیثیت سے کام کیا ۔جس سے اس نے دن کا آٹھ روپے کمانا شروع کیا۔ ان پیسوں سے اسکی ضروریات پوری نہ ہونے کے سبب اس نے قاسم آباد کے ایک گھر میں  بطور نوکر ملازمت شروع کی۔ جہاں سے وہ  مہینے کا 700 روپے کمانے لگا اور اپنی سہولت کے لیے  20  روپے کی قسطوں پر خود کے لیے ایک سائیکل خریدی۔  وہ زیادہ کمانا چاہتا تھا تا کہ گھر والوں کو ایک اچھی رقم بھجوا سکے۔  جدھر ملازمت کرتا تھا وہیں کے ملازم جو اس گھر کا ڈرائیور تھا گاڑی سیکھنے کا مشورہ دیا۔

جس استاد نے اسکو گاڑی چلانا سکھائ وہیں اسے معاشرے کے رموزو اوقاف، ادب و آداب ، رہن سہن سے آگاہ کیا۔انھی استاد نےغلام علی کی زندگی بدل دی۔ 

 یہاں سے اسے 5 ہزار ماہانہ ملنے لگے جو آدھے گھر بھجواتا اور آدھے جمع کرنے لگا۔ کراۓ پر گھر لیا اور اپنے گھر والوں کو اپنے پاس بلالیا۔ انتھک محنت کے بعد خود کے لیے ایک اپنا گھر کرلیا۔ چند مویشی خریدے جن سے کاروبار شروع کیا۔ جسکی زمیداری اپنے چھوٹے بھائ کے سپرد کردی۔ 

سبحان الّلہ ڈرائیونگ سینٹر کے نام سے کاروبار شروع کیا۔

یہ وہ شخص ہے جس نے قلم تک نہیں کبھی اٹھایا۔ جو تعلیم سے ایک فیصد بھی آشنا نہیں۔ جسے اپنا نام تک لکھنا نہیں آتا  ، بیشک وہ ان پڑھ ہے مگر پڑھی لکھی سوچ کا مالک ہے۔

والدین کو اپنی کامیابی کا ذریعہ سمجھتا ہے۔ ماں باپ کی اتنی عزت کرتا ہے کہ دن کا آغاز اور دن کا اختتام ان کے قدموں کو چوم کے کرتا ہے۔

اس کا ماننا ہے کہ میری ہر مشکلات کا میری تکالیف کاحل میرے والدین کی دعائیں ہیں۔ 

آج میرا اپنا  سبحان اللّلہ ڈرائیونگ سینٹر ہے۔ جو کل تک دوسرے کی گاڑی چلاتا تھا آج اسکی خود کی گاڑیاں ہیں۔ جو کل تک کسی کے گھر میں ملازم تھا آج اسکا اپنا گھر ہے۔  جو کل تک ماہانہ 700 کماتا تھا آج ماہانہ 80،000 روپے  کما رہا ہے۔  

جیسے اس کے استاد نے اسکی زندگی سنواری آج وہ لوگوں کی زندگیاں سنوار رہا ہے۔ اور آج وہ آگے بڑھنے کے لیے اور محنت کر رہا ہے۔

Depression among youth - Sidra Khalid

سندھ کے نوجوان، اور ڈپریشن۔

حالات سےدل برداشتہ ہوکر خود کو ختم کرلینا انتہائ بزدلی کی بات ہے۔

افسوس اس بات کا ہے کہ لوگوں  کو کیوں کوئ اور راستہ نظر نہیں آتا سواۓ خودکشی کے۔ ایسی کیا وجوہات ہیں جو اس حد تک ایک بندہ  پہنچ جاتا ہے۔

ماہر نفسیات کا کہنا ہے پاکستان میں بڑھتے اس رجحان کی وجہ ڈپریشن ہے ۔جسے عام لفظوں میں ذہنی دباؤ کہا جاتا ہے۔

2015 کے میڈیکل سروے سے معلوم ہوا ہےکہ 129 افراد ایک ماہ میں خودکشی کرتے ہیں۔ صوبہ سندھ میں تقریباّ 46 افراد ڈپریشن کی وجہ سے خود کو ختم کرلیتے ہیں۔ جس کی بنیادی وجہ گھریلو تشدد، بیروزگاری، والدین کی علیحدگی، بڑھتی ہوئ اقتصادی عدم استحکام، بچوں سے زیادتی، غنڈہ گردی، بڑھتی ہوئ مہنگائ ،سماجی ہم آہنگی، اس نقصان سے بچنے کے لیے آدمی یہ اذیت سہتا ہے۔۔

کبھی کبھی ہمارا معاشرہ بھی ایسا کرنے کے لیے مجبور کردیتا ہے۔  ہم پر معاشرے کا بہت دباؤہے۔ اور اس معاشرے  میں ہمارے اپنے ہی ہیں جو ہماری سوچنے کی صلاحیتوں  پرحاوی ہوجاتے ہیں۔

جن میں اکثر والدین، استاد،دوست و احباب دیگر وغیرہ شامل ہیں۔ 

یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جو اس دباؤ میں ڈالتے بھی ہیں اور نکالتے بھی ہیں۔ 

سندھ کی نوجوان نسل بھی اس سے بری طرح متاثر ہے۔ اس بڑھتے رجحان کی وجہ سے کئ لوگ خود کو ختم کر رہے ہیں۔

حال ہی میں شکارپور کا 25 سالہ نوجوان سمیت کمار معاشی حالات سے تنگ آکر خود کو موت کے حوالے کر بیٹھا۔

بدین کے 30 سال کے شخص نے بےروزگاری کی وجہ سے خود کو آگ لگادی ۔

تھرپارکر میں 12 سال کے بچے نے کنویں میں چھلانگ لگاکر خودکشی کرلی وجہ صرف غربت کی آگ  میں وہ مزید جل نہیں پا رہا تھا۔

امتحان میں ناکامی کی وجہ سے بہت سے  طلبات اپنے والدین کے ڈر کی وجہ سے  اپنی جان گنوا بیٹھے ہیں۔

حکومت سے انصاف نہ ملنے پر بیشمار لوگ خود کو ختم کرنے پر مجبور ہیں۔

ایسے بہت سے بچے اور دوسرے افراد ہیں جو حالات سے دلبرداشتہ ہو جاتے ہیں انھیں سمجھنے والا کوئ نہں ہوتا ان پر گھروالوں اور باہر والوں کا دباو اس حد تک بڑھ جاتا ہے کہ وہ خاموشی اختیار کر لیتے ہیں، خود کو تنہا کر لیتے۔ہر ایک چیز سے اکتاہٹ محسوس کرنے لگتے ہیں۔انھیں کسی چیز کا حل نظر نہیں آتا۔

 اور جب یہ دباؤ اپنی حد تجاوز کر جاتا ہے تو سبب اس نجات کا موت حل بنتی ہے۔

آخر کب تک ہم اس تسلسل کا شکار رہیں گے۔ کب تک خود کو خاموشی کی نیند سلا دیں گے۔ہمیں ایسے واقعات کی روک تھام کم کرنی پڑے گی۔

نوجوان نسل کے خودکش واقعات کے تناسب کو کم کرنے کے لیے طبی اور نفسیاتی مشاورت دینی چاہیے۔اس کی شروعات اپنے گھر سے کرنی چاہیے ماحول کی تبدیلی سے ہی ذہنی تبدیلی آئیگی۔

الغرض اس مقصد کو اپنے انجام تک پہنچانے کے لیے سول سوسائٹی کی تنظیموں، تعلیمی ماہرین اور سماجی کارکنوں کو اس رجحان کی روک تھام کے لیے ایک فعال کردار ادا کرنا ہوگا۔ تاکہ ہماری نوجوان نسل اس شکنجے سے آزاد ہو سکے۔ اور ہمارے ملک اور خود کے لیے بہتر کارکردگی کر سکے۔

    دانش نواز 4اگست 1978ءکو کراچی مےں پےدا ہوئے ابتدائی تعلےم کراچی کے نجی انگلش گرامر اسکول سے حاصل کی اورگورنمنٹ پرےمےئر کالج سے اےف۔اے کی ڈگری حاصل کی۔ پڑھائی مےں زےادہ قابل شاگرد نہےں تھے کےونکہ انھےں بچپن ہی سے اداکار بننے کا شوق تھااوراس بات پر انھےں اکثر اپنے والد سے ڈانٹ بھی پڑتی تھی۔ ان کے والد فرےد نواز بلوچ کا شمار بھی ڈرامہ انڈسٹری کے مشہور اور منجھے ہوئے اداکاروں مےں ہوتا ہے جنھوں نے بغےر کسی سفارش کے صرف محنت کر کے ڈرامہ انڈسٹری مےں ا ±ونچا مقام حاصل کےا۔دانش نواز اپنے گھر مےں سب سے چھوٹے اور لاڈلے صاحبزادے ہےں۔انکے دو بھائی فراز نواز اور ےاسر نواز اور اےک بہن صنم نواز ہے۔ےاسر نواز مشہور اداکار اور ڈائرےکٹر بھی ہے۔ دانش نواز نے 2002ءمےں اپنے کرئےر کا آغاز پی۔ٹی۔وی کے شو” ٹروٹی فروٹی“ کی مےزبانی سے کےا۔ اداکار خاندان سے تعلق رکھنے کی وجہ سے دانش نواز کو شروع مےں اپنا کرئےر بنانے مےں کافی مشکلات درکار ہوئےں کےونکہ ہر کوئی انکے کام کی مماثلت ، انکے والد اور بھائی کے کام سے کرتا تھا جس کی وجہ سے انکی شناخت ختم ہوتی جا رہی تھی ۔2008ءمےں اپنے بھائی کی پروڈکشن مےں” نادانےاں“ ڈرامہ مےں پہلی بار مزاحےہ اداکاری کی جو قابلِ تعرےف ہے،اور انکے مداحوں نے انکی بہت حاصلہ افزائی بھی کی۔ پھر انھوں نے جون 2011 ءمےں اپنی اہلےہ انےلا دانش کی پروڈکشن مےں مزاحےہ ڈرامہ” اےکسٹراز“ کو ڈائرےکٹ کےا بلکہ خود بطوِر اداکار اس مےں شاندار طرےقے سے مزاحےہ اداکاری کی کہ ےہ ڈرامہ 3 سال تک لوگوں کی توجہ کا مرکز بنا رہا۔ اس ڈرامے کے بعد انھےں ” لڑکا کراچی کا کڑی لاہور دی“ مےں کام کرنے کی پےشکش ملی اس ڈرامے نے انکے کرئےر کو پروان چڑھاےا ۔ےہ کہنا بجا ہوگا کہ اےکسٹراز ڈرامے کے بعد قسمت ان پر مہربان اےسی ہوئی کے ےکے بعد دےگرے ڈراموں کی پےشکش ملنی شروع ہوگئی بلکہ خود ےہ دانش نواز کے الفاظ ہےں کہ ”اس ڈرامے نے مجھے اسٹار بنا دےا“۔

    دانش نواز نے ”ہم تم“، ”او مےری بلّی“ ، ”مس گرم مصالحہ“ ،”بابو جی دھےرے چلنا“ ، ” نےنا“ ، پھر چاند پہ دستک اور” چار چاند“ جےسے مشہور ڈراموں مےں اپنی اداکاری کے جوہر دکھا کر اپنی اےک الگ پہچان بنائی ۔ اس کے علاوہ 2009ءمےں سنجےدہ کہانی پر مبنی ڈرامہ تنوےر فاطمہ بی۔اے مےں بھی دانش نواز نے سنجےدہ اداکاری کر کے اپنے مداحوں کو حےران کر دےا۔2012ءمےں دانش نواز ”ھم ٹی۔وی“ اےوارڈ کے بہترےن مزاحےہ اداکاری کے لےے نامزد بھی ہوئے۔2015ءمےں پاکستانی فلم ” رانگ نمبر“ مےں بھی بہرےن اداکاری کی جس سے انھےں بہت پذےرائی حاصل ہوئی۔

     دانش نواز سادگی پسند اور عاجزانہ طبےعت کے مالک ہےں ۔بقول انکے کہ ”عاجزی انسان کو ترقی و کامرانی کی منزلوں سے ہمکنار کرتی ہے اور کبھی بھی انسان کو ترقی کی بلندی سے گرنے نہےں دےتی“۔دانش نواز اپنی کامےابی کا سہرا اپنی اہلےہ انےلا دانش کو دےتے ہوئے کہتے ہےں کہ جب مےں اپنے کرئےر سے بالکل ماےوس ہوگےا تھا تو انےلا نے مےری حاصلہ افزائی کی اور مےرے لےے اےکسڑاز ڈرامہ پروڈکٹ کےا،جس سے مجھ مےں خود اعتمادی پےدا ہوئی۔دانش نواز کی اےک بےٹی ہے جسے وہ اپنی کلُ کائنات سمجھتے ہےں۔

Institute of Art & Design University of Sindh
Sabhiya Abro
The Institute of Art & Design was established as Department of Fine Arts in 1970 at University of Sindh, Jamshoro Campus, with two year bachelor program i.e BA(Pass) in Fine Arts. In 2005 the Department of Fine Arts was upgraded as the Institute of Art & Design, offering Four-Year Degree Program such as Bachelor of Fine Arts, (Major in Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, each), Bachelor of Design, (Bachelor of Communication Design), (Bachelor of Textile Design), Bachelor of Art History and One year Diploma in Music. The four year Bachelor and One year diploma program in Music is designed with emphasis on Studio and research disciplines to encourage students for developing their individual style and understanding of Art as well as Design. After having completed four years Bachelor in any of the major area of studies, students may optional M. Phil leading to Ph.D in Art & Design, for further research and specialization in respective major field of studies.

Presently Institute of art and design is suffering from lack of permanent teaching faculty in Textile Design Department and Department of Art  History, Mr. Namatullah Khilji is the Director In charge of the Institution, According to Mr. Naimatullah Khilji. He feel honored to be heading the Institute where he once in 1990 Enrolled as an apprentice/ a student. The Institute at that time, used to be called Department of Fine Arts and it was been nestled in a single row of three classes in the Premises of Geography Departments building.My heart swells with pride to see it as an Institute with five independent departments i.e. sat in a magnificent and spacious two story building with imposing facade and sprawling lawns .since its inception in 1970,

The Institute has been striving to produce Finest Artists /Designers that could cater to the professional needs of the country in the field of Art and Design, As well as Art Education should be the essential part of our society.

Institute of Art and Design is running five Departments presently, where they have five permanent Faculty members in The Department of Fine Arts, five in Communication Design Department and no permanent faculty in the Department of Textile Design, rest are the Research associates and Teaching Assistants.  Institute of Art and Design is somehow managing the situation, and the Classes are Conducted by the Research Associates, and Teaching Assistants.

Mr. Naveed Akhtar senior Teaching Assistant is hired since 08 years and he is giving his Services as the Teacher/Supervisor for the Final Thesis project and Regular Classes, in the Textile Design Department, Every year there is a Huge Attendance in the Textile Design Department said Mr. Naveed. further he added that Students are very much Interested in the Field but due to lack of Facilities they are facing Problems. But despite of that fact students creatively finish their Thesis projects. Not only this Institute is facing issues like no Computers in Lab, very few hand Looms, Printing Machines, even the Electricity problem is also there, due to the fluctuation most of the Tube lights and fans are out of order. In charge Director Naimatullah Khilji sadly share that he tried his best to fix the problems but he said no one listen to him he forward applications but get no response. All the problems on one Side, every year Institute of art and Design produce Brilliant, Young and talented Artists and Designers who came from different parts of Sind and all over Pakistan.

This is the hard work of the Faculty members and Students who is working so hard to make the institute Going On. The Department of Fine Arts is one of the leading departments at Institute of art and design and it already has a History infect it is the Foundation of this Institution.In the First year all the students have Study Foundation where they enhance their Skills of Fine Arts and Design. Subjects like Sculpture, Painting, Design, Drafting, Art History and Visual Arts are been taught by the highly Professional Instructors/ Teachers.

Communication Design department is one of the most Active Departments at Institute of art and Design, Students Study the Art of Communication through the Different mediums like Electronic and Print medias, Art Education is an Independent Education in the world, because it dependent upon the Creativity are the Views of Young and talented teacher  Rabella Abro Lecturer Communication design department. Further she told us that An Artist and Designer always have to come up with Brand New Idea to design the Massage in order to hit the target Audiences. Communication Design is a modern Field every Time the Technology is changed the Medium of Art Changes with it.
Art and Design not only work as the piece of Art to appeal the eye of a viewer but also beauty and Aesthetic plays an important role so does the Art Education.
