Veena- Hosting Ramadan Transmission?

Dispelled it as a joke, blinked out every sms, laughed at my sisters’ insanity, until finally today, I saw Veena’s Ramadan promo on a local channel myself.

Main hoon Veena Malik. Main pooray Ramadan main karoon gi aapke saath, apnay aur aapke gunaahoon ka astaghfar (subdued tone)

Its resonance-more than that of a bomb shell, a shock worse than seeing a zombie walking on streets. Enough of the drama I know. But seriously? I understand, Veena may have a lot to apologize, but a few days back she was screaming out loud that she has done nothing she has an aota of regret on. Then that subdued tone, wet with regret…what was that all about?

I don’t want to go on about Veena’s alleged immorality, about her FHM nude shoot, looking at which she remarks, ‘look at it, isn’t it just beautiful?’, what I’m concerned with is the moral state of us as a nation. I’m sure, with Veena Malik doing a Ramadan transmission; the channel is going to be a hit! What more can a local channel need for ratings, some celebrity that stands as a sheer contrast to a religious idea, and people will be glued to the screen to either enjoy the absolute hilarity, or something I really cant understand.

Thank God, Mallika Sherawat hasn’t been seeing wrapping a chadar around pleading Lord to purge her sins in Ramadan transmission, or isn’t giving an interview on ‘Decency in Films’. But if it’s done, it sure will be the biggest selling point of the show.

I’m amazed. Truly amazed. Why is that each time a person is passed for a hypocrite, a fraud, next day he’s the one Hero people would be wooing for. A few days back, I  wrote a blog that presented one side of the coin, while the other obvious was already much discussed on all forums, we faced a lot of criticism from left, right and center. If you had looked at the comments, you must have noticed the open dislike for the person in question, but wait a second, glance over the rating charts, and the truth out loud would be that Oh this man is an unimaginably popular  television persona!

Isn’t it true that television or in general media makes people see what they want to see, and if rating for Veena Malik’s program go ramping up the hill, why not her then?  My question is, why curse people who you label as  ‘bad guys’ and yet chose to watch them. And if you like to watch them, why curse them then?. If you find Maya Khan or Veena Malik attractive enough to hook to the screens for, own your choice  and kindly don’t curse the poor souls. It’s about time we stop being hypocrites.

Forgotten Curreny Notes of Pakistan

The Pakistani rupee was put into circulation in Pakistan after the partition of British India in 1947. Initially, Pakistan used Indian coins and notes simply overstamped with "Pakistan". New coins and banknotes were issued in 1948. Like the Indian rupee, it was originally divided into 16 annas (آن), each of 4 pice (پيس) or 12 pie (پاى). The currency was decimalised on 1 January 1961, with the rupee subdivided into 100 pice, renamed (in English) paise (singular paisa) later the same year. However, coins denominated in paise have not been issued since 1994. 

In 1947, provisional issues of banknotes were made, consisting of Government of India and Reserve Bank of India notes for 1, 2, 5, 10 and 100 rupees overprinted with the text "Government of Pakistan" in English and Urdu. Regular government issues commenced in 1948 in denominations of 1, 5, 10 and 100 rupees. The government continued to issue 1 rupee notes until the 1980s but other note issuing was taken over by the State Bank in 1953, when 2, 5, 10 and 100 rupees notes were issued. Only a few 2 rupees notes were issued. 50 rupees notes were added in 1957, with 2 rupees notes reintroduced in 1985. In 1986, 500 rupees notes were introduced, followed by 1000 rupees the next year. 2 and 5 rupees notes were replaced by coins in 1998 and 2002. 20 rupee notes were added in 2005, followed by 5000 rupees in 2006.

All banknotes other than the 1 and 2 rupees feature a portrait of Muhammad Ali Jinnah on the obverse along with writing in Urdu. The reverses of the banknotes vary in design and have English text. The only Urdu text found on the reverse is the Urdu translation of the Prophetic Hadith, "Seeking honest livelihood is worship of God." which is حصول رزق حلال عبادت ہے (Hasool-e-Rizq-e-Halal Ibaadat hai).

The banknotes vary in size and colour, with larger denominations being longer than smaller ones. All contain multiple colours. However, each denomination does have one colour which predominates. All banknotes feature a watermark for security purposes. On the larger denomination notes, the watermark is a picture of Jinnah, while on smaller notes, it is a crescent and star. Different types of security threads are also present in each banknote.
