From Pakistan to beyond Iran, there are many talented musicians, poets and writers, who are not getting to showcase their talent due to the political conditions there. Politicians, dictators and fanatics should never interfear and keep themselves out of any activity which unites the people, specially activities like Music, arts, films, Sports etc.

We all remember the Respected late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Junoon etc. But this girls music reminds us about the late Nazia Hasan, her music was super good, gr8.

v.refreshing…….paimana is such a cool drink and so was ahaan…

relatively speaking, why does pakistan come up with better non-filmi musical acts that have a stronger lyrical content than your regular bollycrap/indipop…..?!

I hope that these girls keep safe, and that’s all. Their Pashtun countrymen won’t appreciate this one bit.

Nilanjana-Thanks again for the article and do keep up the positive work.

I think this world is getting closer since the advent of cable and internet. People are learning, there are nicer people across the border too. In my view there are only two types of people, oppressors and victims.

And about the penis joke, you know what they called non-circumcised men right? On the lighter note, their voices are soothing and refreshing.

Circumcision is a form of infant abuse, in my opinion. On the other hand, as adults their members are better looking and more practical for their partners. But then the men miss out on so much because there are a lot of nerve endings in that part and if its cut off, it cuts down on the pleasure.

You will some, you lose some. But what is this thing about soothing and refreshing voices? Whats that all about?

Prathik Raj, why don't you take part in campaigns saving countless baby girls that will be aborted in Punjab? What about campaign to stop dowry killing? What about eve teasing?What about western tourists who were raped by educated Indian men?

And about the penis joke, you know what they called non-circumcised men right?

On the lighter note, their voices are soothing and refreshing.
