I write this after a long break. The fact is that I was ill. According to our poetic tradition, the treatment for illness lies in what is called the elixir of joy served by a slender temptress straight out of the quatrains of Omar Khayyam from a long-necked crystal jug. However, I think that is all poetry. Not to speak of comely cupbearers, one can't even find an ugly servant boy with a mustache to play the cupbearer. Beauty has fled this land. While women have come out from behind the veil, one look at them and you wish they had stayed behind it. Your Max Factor has made them even uglier. You send free wheat, free literature, free arms. Why not send a couple of hundred examples of pure American womanhood here so that they could at least serve a drink as it is supposed to be served? I fell ill because of this blasted liquor--God damn it--which is poison, pure and simple. And raw. Not that I did not know, not that I did not understand, but what the poet Meer wrote applies to my condition. What a simpleton Meer is! The apothecary's boy who made him fall ill Is the very one he goes to get his medicine. Who knows what Meer found in that apothecary's boy from whom he sought his medicine when he knew he was ill because of him. The man from whom I buy my poison is far more ill than I am. While I have survived because I am used to a hard life, I see little hope for him. In the three months I was in a hospital's general ward, no American aid reached me. I think you knew nothing about my illness otherwise you would have surely sent me two or three packages of Terramycin and earned credit in this world and the next. Our foreign publicity leaves a great deal to be desired and our government, in any case, has no interest in writers, poets and painters. Our late lamented government, I recall, appointed Firdausi-i-Islam Hafiz Jullandhri director of the song publicity department at a monthly salary of Rs 1,000. 1 After the establishment of Pakistan, all that was allotted to him was a house and a printing press. Today you pick up the papers and what do you see? Hafiz Jullandhri bewailing his lot, having been thrown out of the committee appointed to compose a national anthem for Pakistan. He is one poet in the country who can write an anthem for this, the world's largest Islamic state, and even set it to music. He has divorced his British wife because the British are gone. He is said to be now looking for an American wife. Uncle, for God's sake help him there so that he can be saved from a sorry end. The number of your nephews runs into millions but a nephew like yours truly you will not find even if you lit an atom bomb to look for him. Do pay me some attention therefore. All I need is an announcement from you that your country (which may it please God to protect till the end of time) will only help my country (may God blight the distilleries of this land) acquire arms if Saadat Hasan Manto is sent over to you. Overnight, my value will go up and after this announcement, I will stop doing Shama and Director crossword puzzles. 2 Important people will come to visit my home and I will ask you to airmail me a typical American grin which I will glue to my face so that I can receive them properly. Such a grin can have a thousand meanings. For instance, "You are an ass." "You are exceptionally brilliant." "I derived nothing but mental discomfort from this meeting." "You are a casual-wear shirt made in America." "You are a box of matches made in Pakistan." "You are a homemade herbal tonic." "You are Coca-Cola." etc. etc. I want to live in Pakistan because I love this bit of earth, dust from which, incidentally, has lodged itself permanently in my lungs. However, I will certainly visit your country so that I can get my health back. Barring my lungs, every other organ in my body I will hand over to your experts and ask them to turn them American. I like the American way of life. I also like the design of your casual-wear shirt. It is both a good design and a good billboard. You can print the latest propaganda item on it every day and move from Shezan to Coffee House to Chinese Lunch Home so that everyone can read it. 3. I also want a Packard so that when I go riding in it on the Mall, wearing that shirt with a pipe gifted by you resting between my teeth, all the progressive and nonprogressive writers of Lahore should come to realize that they have been wasting their time so far. But look, Uncle, you will have to buy petrol for the car, though I promise to write a story as soon as I have the Packard that I would call "Iran's Nine Maunds of Oil and Radha." Believe me, the moment the story is printed, all this trouble about Iranian oil will end and Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, 4 who is still alive, will have to amend that couplet he once wrote about Lloyd George and oil. Another thing I would want from you would be a tiny, teeny weeny atom bomb because for long I have wished to perform a certain good deed. You will naturally want to know what. You have done many good deeds yourself and continue to do them. You decimated Hiroshima, you turned Nagasaki into smoke and dust and you caused several thousand children to be born in Japan. Each to his own. All I want you to do is to dispatch me some dry cleaners. It is like this. Out there, many Mullah types after urinating pick up a stone and with one hand inside their untied shalwar, use the stone to absorb the after-drops of urine as they resume their walk. This they do in full public view. All I want is that the moment such a person appears, I should be able to pull out that atom bomb you will send me and lob it at the Mullah so that he turns into smoke along with the stone he was holding. As for your military pact with us, it is remarkable and should be maintained. You should sign something similar with India. Sell all your old condemned arms to the two of us, the ones you used in the last war. This junk will thus be off your hands and your armament factories will no longer remain idle. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is a Kashmiri, so you should send him a gun which should go off when it is placed in the sun. I am a Kashmiri too, but a Muslim which is why I have asked for a tiny atom bomb for myself. One more thing. We can't seem able to draft a constitution. Do kindly ship us some experts because while a nation can manage without a national anthem, it cannot do without a constitution, unless such is your wish. One more thing. As soon as you get this letter, send me a shipload of American matchsticks. The matchsticks manufactured here have to be lit with the help of Iranian-made matchsticks. And after you have used half the box, the rest are unusable unless you take help from matches made in Russia which behave more like firecrackers than matches. The American topcoats are also excellent and without them our Landa Bazar 5 would be quite barren. But why don't you send us trousers as well? Don't you ever take off your trousers? If you do, you probably ship them to India. There has to be a strategy to it because you send us jackets but no trousers which you send to India. When there is a war, it will be your jackets and your trousers. These two will fight each other using arms supplied by you. And what is this I hear about Charlie Chaplin having given up his U.S. citizenship? What did this joker think he was doing? He surely is suffering from communism; otherwise why would a man who has lived all his life in your country, made his name there, made his money there, do what he has done? Does he not remember the time when he used to beg in the streets of London and nobody took any notice of him! Why did he not go to Russia? But then there is no shortage of jokers there. Perhaps he should go to England so that its residents learn to laugh heartily like Americans. As it is, they always look so somber and superior? It is time some of their pretense came off. I now close my letter with a freestyle kiss to Hedy Lamarr. Saadat Hasan Manto. 1 Hafiz Jullandhri was one of Urdu's leading poets before independence and gained popularity for his poetic epic based on the history of Islam, "Shahnameh-e-Islam." He was likened to the great medieval Persian poet Firdausi who wrote the famous epic poem "Shahnameh." Hafiz was often called Firdausi-e-Islam. After independence he was assigned to write the Pakistani national anthem. However, he always felt that his services had not been recognized to the extent they deserved. Manto did not think much of him, either as a poet or a man. 2 Shama, Delhi, and Director, Lahore, were two popular magazines of the time that ran crossword puzzle competitions that offered generous cash prizes. 3 Zelin's Coffee House, Pak Tea House, and Cheney's Lunch Home, all located on the Mall, were Lahore's most popular restaurants at the time where writers and intellectuals gathered. Only Pak Tea House has survived, though it is teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. 4 Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, prolific poet, writer, and journalist who founded the Urdu daily Zamindar from Lahore.

He was born on 11 May 1912. He was a pakistani writer, playwright and author. Saadat Hassan Manto was born in a village near Ludhiana. He had a wife and 3 daughters. The big turning point in his life came in 1933, at age 21, when he met Abdul Bari Alig, a scholar and polemic writer, in Amritsar.Abdul Bari Alig encouraged him to find his true talents and read Russian and French authors. Saadat Hasan Manto accepted the job of writing for Urdu Service of All India Radio in 1941. This proved to be his most productive period as in the next eighteen months he published over four collections of radio plays, Aao (Come), Manto ke Drame (Manto’s Dramas), Janaze (Funerals) and Teen Auraten (Three women). He continued to write short stories and his next short story collection Dhuan (Smoke) was soon out followed by Manto ke Afsane and his first collection of topical essays, Manto ke Mazamin. This period culminated with the publication of his mixed collection Afsane aur Dramey in 1943. Meanwhile, due to a quarrel with the director of the All India Radio, poet N. M. Rashid, he left his job and returned to Bombay in July 1942 and again started working with film industry. He entered his best phase in screenwriting giving films like Aatth Din, Chal Chal Re Naujawan and Mirza Ghalib, which was finally released in 1954. Some of his short stories also came from this phase including Kaali Shalwar (1941), Dhuan (1941) and Bu (1945), which was published in Qaumi Jang (Bombay) in February 1945. Another highlight of his second phase in Bombay was the publication of a collection of his stories, Chugad, which also included the story ‘Babu Gopinath’. He stayed in Bombay until he moved to Pakistan in January 1948 after the partition of India in 1947.In pakistan, he stayed politically very active till the last days of his life. He also played a commendable and very supportive role in helping to build the film industry in newly-created nation of Pakistan after 1947. Earlier during his stay in India, he had written the film story for an award-winning Indian movie Mirza Ghalib (1954) and then his original short story ‘Jhumke’ was adapted for Pakistani hit film Badnam (1966). He is known as the most controversial short story writer in Urdu language. Government of Pakistan issued a commemorative postage stamp honoring him in 2005. In 2012, President of Pakistan awarded him Nishan-I-Imtiaz (Distinguished Service to Pakistan Award) . When Manto died on January 18, 1955, at age 42, thousands of people in Lahore walked in his funeral procession, a rare tribute which the public pays to a writer.He is considered among the greatest writers of short stories in South Asian history. Saadat Hasan Manto was the rebel and one of Pakistan’s greatest writers and social critics. Manto’s own life mirrored the characters he portrayed in his famous short-stories, sketches and his powerful non-fiction. He was a writer with a deeply political vision, and this vision was reflected uncompromisingly in his work. It also reflected the contradictions of Pakistani society because he himself hated hypocrisy and refused to partake in them.One of his famous quotes and my favourite one is “A writer picks up his pen only when his sensibility is hurt”. This shows his profound thinking and his intense character. Some of his famous qoutes are. If you find my stories dirty, the soceity you are living in is dirty. With my stories, I only expose the truth. I feel like I am always the one tearing everything up and forever sewing it back together. …and it is also possible, that Saadat Hasan dies, but Manto remains alive. Patras Bukhari-Diplomatic Humorist. Syed Ahmed Shah (Pen Name: Patras Bokhari )(1 October 1898, Peshawar – 5 December 1958, New York) was an Urdu humourist, educator, essayist, broadcaster and diplomat from Pakistan. He is best known for his humorous writings in Urdu literature. Born in Peshawar into a Kashmiri family (which migrated from Baramulla) Bokhari received his early education in the city of his birth and in 1916 moved from Islamia College Peshawar to attend Government College, Lahore. After completing his Masters in English he was appointed as lecturer at the same institution. In 1922, he took his MA in English after just one year’s study and stood first, after which he was appointed lecturer at the College. This was his creative period. His bilingual excellence is owed to his intensive translation of great books and plays from English to Urdu. He was tall and blue-eyed, had a razor-sharp mind, an equally sharp tongue, and a keenness to go forward in life. Bukhari left Government College, Lahore in 1925 in order to complete a Tripos in English at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Many years later, the Bukhari English Prize was established there in his honor. In 1927, he returned to Government College, Lahore, and as a Professor remained there until 1939. Before the formation of Pakistan in 1947, he was the Director General of All India Radio. Being a Professor of English Literature, he also served as the Principal of Government College, Lahore from 1947 to 1950. The Urdu poets Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Noon Meem Rashid, were among his students. After the formation of Pakistan, In 1950, he was a member of Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan’s entourage during his visit to the United States. All the speeches and public pronouncement of the late Prime Minister were drafted by him. These have since been published in a volume entitled Heart of Asia. It was close association with Liaquat Ali Khan, which culminated in his posting as Pakistan’s Permanent Representative at the United Nations. he served as the first permanent representative of Pakistan in the United Nations from 1951–1954. From 1954–1958 he remained as the Under Secretary of the UN, Head of Informon. His collection of essays, Patras Kay Mazameen published in 1927 is said to be an asset in Urdu humor writings. It is undoubtedly one of the finest works in Urdu humor and despite the fact that it was written in first half of twentieth century, it seems to be truly applicable even today. He lived in times of personalities like Allama Iqbal and had interacted with him on several occasions and engaged him in philosophical debates. One of his debates with Iqbal led to creation of one of his poems in his book Zarb-e-Kaleem . Ahmed Shah Bokhari was well read in Greek Philosophy and had a deep understanding of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. He wrote an article Ancient Greek Rulers and Their Thinkin which was published in March 1919 in the Kehkashan Lahore. He was 21 years old at the time. His work at United Nations was truly amazing during many years of his service to this body which was in infancy while Patras worked there. One of his major contributions was fighting the case of UNICEF during meetings which were convened to discuss its closure because apparently it had fulfilled its designated task. Patras argued successfully that UNICEF’s need in developing countries is much greater than its role in European countries after WWII. His arguments forced even Eleanor Roosevelt to change stance of her country, United States. His contributions to United Nations as a leading diplomat were summed up by Ralph J. Bunche (UN Secretary General and Nobel Peace Laureate) in these words: “Ahmed Bukhari was, in fact, a leader and a philosopher, a savant, indeed, even though not old in years, a sort of elder statesman. His true field of influence was the entire complex of the United Nations family…. He was acutely conscious of the aspirations of people throughout the world for peace, for better standards of life, for freedom and dignity, but no one was more soundly aware than he of the difficulties and obstacles to be overcome in bringing about a broad advance of humankind along these avenues.” Bokhari’s great work was done at the United Nations. He said that apart from being as great an internationalist as Dag Hammerskjold, he was the first advocate of liberation movements in colonised countries across Africa and the Middle East. That credit has been denied him by his countrymen, as they have denied it to Sir Zafralla Khan, though for different reasons. Death And Family. In 1923 he married Zubaida Wanchoo, a Punjabi-speaking Kashmiri lady, and daughter of a Superintendent of Police. They had three children – two sons Mansoor & Haroon, and a daughter Roshan Ara. Roshan Ara died as a child. He died on 5 December 1958 during his diplomatic service and is buried in Valhalla Cemetery, New York. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in the 1944 Birthday Honours list. In October 1998, to mark his birth centenary, the government of Pakistan issued a postage stamp with his photograph under the series, “Pioneers of Pakistan”. On 14 August 2003 President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, announced the conferment of Hilal-e-Imtiaz, the country’s second highest civilian award, posthumously on Bokhari. Editorial appears in the New York Times on 6 December 1958, a day after his demise, in which he is described as a “Citizen of the World”. Dr. Anwar Dil, a well known Pakistan writer based in the US published a book on Patras Bokhari in 1998 called “On This Earth Together” in 1998, after 20 years of painstaking research in the US and Pakistan. Mushtaq Ahmed Yousafi-Witty Humorist. Mushtaq was born 4 August 1923 is an Urdu satirical and humour writer from Pakistan. Yousufi has also served as the head of several national and international governmental and financial institutions. He received Sitara-e-Imtiaz and Hilal-i-Imtiaz, the highest literary honours by the Government of Pakistan in 1999. Joined Muslim Commercial Bank in 1950, became Deputy General Manager. Joined Allied Bank Ltd in 1965 as Managing Director. In 1974 he became President of United Bank Ltd. In 1977 became Chairman of the Pakistan Banking Council. Awarded Quaid-i-Azam Memorial Medal for distinguished services in banking. Yousufi was born in a learned family of Jai pur, Rajasthan on 4 August 1923. His father Abdul Karim Khan Yousufi was chairman of the Jai pur Municipality, and later Speaker of the Jaipur Legislative Assembly. Yousufi completed his early education in Rajputana and earned B.A. from Agra University while M.A. Philosophy and LL.B from Aligarh Muslim University. After partition of India his family migrated to Karachi, Pakistan. Now he is living in Karachi and often appears in TV programs as well as seminars. Ibn-e-Insha, himself an Urdu satirist and humorist, wrote about Yousufi: “…if ever we could give a name to the literary humour of our time, then the only name that comes to mind is that of Yousufi!” Live & Studio Mixers. Live and studio mixers are simply systems for routing audio and combining signals where needed. Judging by the names, the difference between the two is very clear. One is used for live audio on the spot, and the other is used in a studio set up. With advances in technology, the difference between the two has become blurry. What are factors to consider when shopping for a mixer? Other than your budget, there are other factors you ought to consider when contemplating the purchase of a live or studio sound mixer. Below is a checklist that will help you narrow down your selection to the console that best suits your situation. I/O and channels: You should consider the number of mics you want to connect. For example, if your band has stereo keyboards as well as other instruments, youll need a mixing device with enough built-in stereo channels that will accommodate all of them. Mackie is known for its many inputs including USB functions. Application: Will the gadget be used to record, play, or both? Signal Routing and Buses: These functions are particularly significant for those who are involved in recording. Those who will be using special-purpose hardware such as headphones, monitors, and recording gear will need more signal paths and flexibility. Connect your audial equipment to the different inputs found on the mixer. Each musical instrument is assigned to its input. The higher the number of inputs on the hardware, the larger it is. Connect the monitoring and footage equipment to the different outputs on the device. The device outputs are easy to monitor simply by plugging in headphones as well as VU meters. The channel inputs that will be used in making the sound should be turned on. Go ahead and make adjustments to the volume for each input with the use of a knob or switch depending on the make of the device. Make adjustments to the mid-range, bass, and treble bands for individual channels. The channels needing special effects should be routed to an auxiliary channel. With the use of the knob, pan each channel of the gadget as required. Normally done in the post-production stage of a television program or a film, the recorded sounds are combined into different channels, and the different characteristics of the sound are adjusted. With constant technological progress in the field of sound, new ways are being devised on a daily basis to help in playback and taping. Companies such as Mackie, Yamaha, and Behringer have realized this and gone ahead to create tablet and mobile applications such as the fader app used for documenting. The continuous updates for these applications have made the entire process more seamless. Is it possible to record many different independent inputs? All tracks produced by a mixing gadget are capable of recording internal and external audio sources to disk. This implies that it is possible to record all audio inputs on your interface.
