Akhiyan

for those of you aren't aware of "akhiyan" then let me explain as akhiyan in Punjabi means eyes. last night i was a part of a cultured evening at the national school of drama watching the over-eager Pakistani theater group Azad Theater  perform "akhiyan" which is a story of a blind girl who longs to see the world. my review after watching the play i was awestruck. the group was successful in showcasing the real ground life of the region not even embracing the language but the culture as well. the director of the play Mr. Malik Aslam couldn't attend the evening but i must take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Sarfaraz Ansari who is not the artistic director of the group but also played an eminent role in the drama. the way he captured the essence of the character it was unbelievably good. i myself have performed plays but its always a great sense of excitement while witnessing something magical happening in front of your eyes and that magic was so much present in the play "Akhiyan". being a person of music i consider myself fortunate as to have been part of that evening and listening to the light rural music played live , the amazing dholak and the sweet symphony of the flute and harmonium and lets not forget to mention the soulful voice of singers, this just makes one realize how much talent is hidden after all we all are diamonds in the rough 
p.s my mom would kill me if i didn't mention that the character played by Zoya Qazi was brilliant and the voice modulation on each word was marvelous (you are pretty as well, my mom loved you)
