Sad. Very sad. According to a reliable source, iconic Pakistani film actress Zeba, the wife of the late Mohammad Ali who was one of the super stars of our film industry, has sold her home in Lahore which had, to a certain extent, an historic significance. Reason: it used to be a place where the artist community often gathered, apart from the fact that political leaders of repute, such as Shah Faisal of Saudi Arabia, had visited the Ali-Zeb home when the Islamic Summit was held in Lahore. Apparently, the actress will soon be shifting to some other place bought at a relatively cheaper price.

I know we put the government on the spot for everything that goes wrong in society. But then, who else to blame?
